SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!
Friday, December 3rd, 2010HYPER IRON MANGA…
Friday, December 3rd, 2010
Lastnite on the Combat Jack Show, Complex Magazine’s Editor-In-Chief Noah Callahan-Bever was kicking it about some of his favorite comicbook artists. He mentioned Todd McFarlane and Rob Liefeld as his heavy influences in the genre. I’m more a fan of older generation artists like Neal Adams, John Byrne and Frank Miller, but when I think of the newer generation artists whose work I enjoy I look at Adam Warren.
Warren was the dude who adapted the Dirty Pair into a comicbook series. His artwork is heavily directed by anime and manga illustrations. I appreciate it for the graffiti compositions I see inside of it. Warren acts as a storyteller in a similar fashion and retains a frenetic storyline to match his storyboards. I’m excited to see he has done a series with Marvel’s Iron Man character titled ‘Hypervelocity’.
I’m gonna copp the trade on Amazon unless someone has read it already and tells me that I shouldn’t bother.

Night Catches Us…
Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Somewhere in Hollywood there is a place for a great story where Blacks are the lead characters. I don’t mean the Madea archteypes either. I mean the Henry Fonda everyday American types who persevere thru strength of character as opposed to sight gags and off color slanguage.
Anthony Mackie (who stays needing a hairline) and Kerry Washington (who called me a fat sweaty dude on the Hip-Hop Honors red carpet) combine to deliver a heart wrenching performance about a family in south Philadelphia in the mid-1970s. After the Black power movement had been disbanded and discredited what and who was left for the people to believe in? That is the backstory. This movie is really about a family finding its way in life.
‘Night Catches Us’ will open this Friday in the Magic Johnson multiplex in Harlem. I implore you to keep your eyes open for your opportunity to go see this movie. The stories I want to deliver to the big screen don’t stray too far from this theme. There has to be more films of all people which don’t play to the widely held stereotypes of those people. As long as the story is beautiful, and true. ‘Night Catches Us’ is that movie. Support independent films my people.

The Lifestyle In Real Life…
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
The homey Solace from Timeless Truth pulled my coat the other day by reminding me that the lifestyle is to be sold and not told on these here internets. He’s actually right in saying that too. By publishing some of the imagery of heirloom I.T.’s it makes them more difficult to ‘come up’ on.
I understand that but I want the number of lifestylers to grow. And more importantly is for the people that represent the lifestyle to the youth to do it correctly. Some commenters think that I don’t fux with Vado or Young Dro because they don’t wear vintage ‘Lo I.T.’s but that is far from the case.
I don’t fux with people who call themselves lifestylers, but only wear ‘Lo and don’t know how to ROCK ‘Lo. If you only copp your lifestyle from the mall then you better be the type cat that goes thru the racks of Bloomie’s as well as Beck’s. That’s the only way you are going to acquire a set as fresh as this.
