While I was giving my life essence away to promoting Timberland products this track came down the ‘pike.

Produced by Pete Rock. Roc Marci’s got two (2) full length projects set to drop in the fourth quarter so get ready to have your boom bap rap needs fulfilled.

The Winter Soldier…

captain america 215

I’m glad Marvel Studios kept Captain America out of these buccaneer boots. So NOT swag.

The Winter Soldier will be the second Captain America movie and we learn that Falcon (Anthony Mackie) makes his debut in this film. We also learn that Cap’s sidekick Bucky Barnes didn’t die on the mountain in WWII. Barnes IS the Winter Soldier who is working for the Russians during the Cold War. Shit is about to go down.

Make Mine Marvel.

Pusha T proved he could clean up for KanYe and the G.O.O.D. music brand but he is all filthy on this new album M.N.I.M.N.

Salutes to the gawd Sonny Chiba in the title roll of Golgo-13 (The Professional) for the visuals. I’m just the conduit so you can do it.

Dallas And The Timberland Showroom…

Going into the Timberland NYC offices was like Charlie getting that golden ticket into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. There weren’t any Oompa Loompas tho’. But I saw a side of Timberland that I had only imagined up to that point. I’ve been following this brand for over twenty five years and this visit was their acknowledgment of that fact. You already know it all culminated with the ‘Thank You’ gift of the 2013 Iditarod Superboot.

Timberland’s entire product line is placed throughut the offices. The Earthkeepers products (Timberland’s basic line) along with the Abington, PRO and Timberland Boot Company brands.

I held some of the samples for next year’s styles. I wanted one of everything in the office. You do know I’m a hypebeast right?

For all my Lifestylers, it was like peeping the future lineup of PRL blue label, black label, purple label, D & S and RLX all in one day.

Mind. Effin. BLOWN!

Y’all need to stop sleeping on this urban hiker called the Intervale Mid. Sure it has European styling but the 3/4 height makes it look tough with shorts or jeans. Timberland reduced this boot to $80 for Columbus Day weekend with an additional 30% off. I’m mad tight they don’t have any size 12s left.

The next goal on my path is to design a boot. To spec out all the materials and the hardware for a classic style.

Designing a 6″ Field Boot is the next step for the Godd Bootgod to travel to. An all leather 6″ Field Boot?! With butter soft leather on the collar and tongue. Maybe even a gumsole? FIYAHVERKXXX!!!

KING PUSH…

I don’t think I’m gonna open another rap album this year until Roc Marciano drops his production compilation. The Pusha T album is like Yeezus beats with real rapping over them. Shit is fantastico. This album made me shut down the Cam’Ron mixtape completely.

My Name Is My Name isn’t really a debut album since Pusha is quite the veteran in rap circles, still that’s how it will read in the books so I’m happy dude gets a home run for his first at bat. Pusha T is the 2013 Rickey Henderson of rap. He’s the best leadoff scorer in the game.
