DILLA CHANGED MY LIFE…

Sunday, February 12th, 2012

February is already a melancholy month when you think about the passing of J Dilla, but Please Don’t Stare and Hip-Hop Is Read bring some levity back into our hearts with this Dilla tribute mixtape using some of JayDee’s favorite sample source classics.

Thanks Dilla, and thank you Ben-hameen and Ivan Rott for keeping the legacy alive.

Always An Angel…

What do you say when the queen passes away?

I hope she gets her due at long last. Her voice was raw beautiful power. The heir to Diana Ross’ pop music princess throne Whitney never really got her castle or her crown.

Long live the queen!

Outfit Architecture…

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Here’s a simple ‘fit for tonight’s tilt at the hardwood mecca, MSG.

Supreme box cap, ACG (All Access) vest, vintage PRL knit ski sweater, kelly green lambswool lifestyle to protect my neck, Nike DRI-Fit pants, and Air Jordan 2012 Year Of The Dragon on my feet. Nothing matches but everything is comfortable everyday swag.

I placed the Total Air Max insole (Fly Thru) in the 2012s since I’ll be wearing them all day and I’ll want the extra cushioning.

My lifestyle doesn’t require me to match my sneakers with my sweaters with my hats etc. I CHOOSE to do that sometimes, but your style should truly represent you at ease just doing what you do. That is the ultimate in swag if you ask me.

REEBOK BACK…

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Reebok has an event space in the L.E.S. which will be doing some heavy programming in the next few months. I’m already scheming on bringing something into the room in the next few weeks.

Big ups to Hawaii Mike and Isis, after falling thru the opening night party and picking up a pair of these eX-O-Fit Classics. I’m calling these joints the ‘St.Patty’s Day Shammgod Shamrocks’. LOL. But seriously, these are a dope pair of kicks to swag out with on St.Patrick’s Day. Clean ass Irish green uppers with the Guinness pale ale colored gumsoles.

If these are the Reebok products I can hope to share with some special internets then I think I should be getting ready for Combat…
