Blame It On The Alcohol…

ye vma

So ‘Ye Tudda interrupted MTV’s flagship awards program to say that the ‘Single Ladies’ video was one of the “best of all time”. KanYe ain’t neva lie. Especially not after killing a bottle of that brown ‘truth juice’.

This latest KanYe West award ceremony outburst has the TWittter streets all aflutter tweeting. The truth is that KanYe’s statement was on point. BeYonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ video is well designed and choreographed to the tee oh pee. I’m sure the Taylor Swift video has good visuals too, but BeYonce is a fux’n specimen. KanYe and his muse lady Amber Rose were reportedly escorted from the building after his outburst. Who knows? And at the end of the day who the fux cares?

What I did want to talk about was the bottle of brown truth juice that KanYe is advertising on the VMA red carpet. Since ‘Ye Tudda is the Louis Vuitton Don and since Louis Vuitton is the owner of Moet (mo-way) and Hennessy I think it would be naive of us not to think that there wasn’t a corporate placement for this shot. I mean, a man of KanYe’s tastes and means would surely prefer Martell to Hennessy, no?

I was chopping it up on FaceBook with a fellow Commissioner, Jamal7Mile, when the homey pointed me to his weblog site – You Damned Right I Farted!!. By the way, J7M that is the funniest name of all time for a website, kudos. The homey’s latest drop talks about the state imposed timeout he is starting later on today. That is some pill to swallow when you know you are gonna be on lockdown. Your mind goes over all the shit that you could have done to not be in the position you are facing.

I think Jamal7Mile is already on the right path to getting his mind right in the long run. I wish I could say tha same for myself. I am an alcoholic. This doesn’t mean that I get drunk all the time because I don’t, but it does mean that I will seek out opportunities to be intoxicated and make decisions based on those opportunities that affect me long after I have placed down the bottle. I’ve dealt with counseling and rehab before for drugs and drinking. You learn that addiction is a lifelong process. You also learn that you have the power within yourself to overcome your demons.

I wish Jamal7Mile the best on his journey. He can definitely overcome this. No matter where you go brother there YOU are. Keep believing in yourself and keep your head to the sky. Peace.

Golf >>> Gheyer Than Tennis…

Butching it up for the win…

As the spiritual first day of the great American gayme of football kicks off I thought we could have a debate about which of the two teh gheyest sports was the most… Teh Ghey.

Is it tennis, where men wear little tiny tennis shorts [ll]?

Or golf, where men hit a little white ball into a hole with their sticks?

In tennis you can be a champion without even being the best player left in the tournament. If the best player in the world has a bad afternoon and gets sent home early in the tournament then who knows who the hell will win the trophy? My guess is that it will prA’li be NADAL or FEDERER. Tennis tournaments are all about seeding. If your draw is filled with highly ranked bums or players to which your game holds an advantage you will advance. Not so much in golf.

In golf you have to beat the entire field of competitors. Rankings don’t determine who wins these tournaments, only which player uses the least amount of strokes to get his balls in the holes [ll]. That is the gheyest description of a sport in the history of ghey sports. Gheyer even than a wide receiver throwing a ball to a tight end. I mean, how often does that happen? Golf is totally gheyer than tennis also because you can still play golf well when you are old. Tennis, not so much.

Golf is especially gheyer than tennis because of the women’s game. Sure tennis had BILLIE JEAN KING and MARTINA NAVRITILOVA but isn’t every woman that plays golf a lesbian? If not then why do they all dress like one? I have nothing against teh gheys in whatever sport they play because all professional sports are teh ghey. Can you imagine what the Davis Cup locker rooms must look like? I will bet you that they are gheyer than a baseball dugout.

You are not ready…

NIKE has begun to unveil the latest design for the LeBRON JAMES signature basketball shoes. These joints are FIYAHVERKS. I haven’t liked a LeBreezy shoe up to this point because they all seemed too chunky and bootlike. I just didn’t care for their profile. Don’t act like you were fuxing with them either despite the fact that LeBRON has the best NIKE commercials evar. Better than the JORDAN Mars spots even.

The LeBRON VII(7) has evolved into a very nice shoe. I’m excited that NIKE chose to retain some of the features that were part of the scrapped design of the VI(6). The patined leather is one of LeBRON’s favorite treatments from back in his Air Jordan collecting days. I’m a big fan of the total Air Max platform. NIKE has figured a way to create an Air max footbed strong enough to support the rigors of a professional athlete while exposing the entire length of the foot. This is the future.

As if the Air Max platform for these shoes wasn’t enough of an evolutionary leap we see that the upper is constructed with the new Flywire carbon fiber technology. It was already impossible to keep LeBRON on the ground. With these new Flywire Air Max shoes on it looks like LeBRON JAMES will pwn the upper atmosphere. Up, up and away.

DP.COM MANNY WATCH…

The Yankees are one of America’s richest sports franchises because they can constantly market the nostalgia of baseball to their fans and followers. DEREK JETER’s pursuit of the all-time Yankees hit record has bolstered ticket sales into the billion dollar boondoggle in the Bronx. Last year they Yankees were selling off the old furniture. This year they are selling you a ticket to watch his story. I’m not buying it. Neither should you.

Not to be outdone, the Mets are selling commemorative bricks to their new monumental tombstone. Ironically, these guys hit the wall sometime in May.

Rap music fans have been treated to some rare air over the last few weeks. I’ve listened to the latest Raekwon the Chef and Jay-Z albums. I also sat in a session for the debut Kid Cudi CD. All of this music will provide something unique for their fans and people that enjoy good music. What came to my mind was that I could relate these albums to something else I am extremely fond of – Sneakers. Each of these albums reminds me a respective pair of footwear.

The Air Jordan XI pictured above is considered to be one of the GOAT’s GOAT sneakers. The details and the materials used were revolutionary and trendsetting. The Air Jordan XI’s were released in October 1995, a few months after the release of the seminal rap album Only Built For Cuban Linx. Both the Air Jordan XI’s and the album OB4Cl have stood the test of time to become regarded as classics in the own right. So what footwear would I use to describe these new albums being released?

spizzike

Spiz’Zike boot – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2
The OB4CL2 sequel makes me think of the new Spiz’Zike boots. These shoes are going to knock the Timberlands and even the ACG boots off the block. The Spiz’Zike contains all of the dopest elements of previous Air Jordans but it is revisioned and updated for 2009 and beyond. OB4CL2 is classic Wu-Tang material that describes the highs and lows of street life. The wins and the losses. The joy and the pain. Kiss the ring, or the 6 rings.

yeezy

Air Yeezy (tan colorway) – Man On The Moon: The End Of Day
If I could have copped one colorway of the Air Yeezy shoes it would have been the tan version. This pair had the best leather of them all and really showed off the details of this unique shoe. Kid Cudi helped KanYe West craft a classic album with 808’s & Heartbreak, but it isn’t an album that many boom bap rap fans can reach in their mental wheelhouse. It is a futuristic album that Cudi has shaped with his project. Many of the ideas he brought to the 808’s project have been placed on his debut. The compositions are orchestral and the strings are highlighted nicely. The shoestrings on the Yeezy’s have a sick lacelock as well.

roc boot

Roc-A-Wear boot? – Blueprint 3
The Roc-A-Wear boots look like a wild mashup of Timberlands and Creative Recreations with a faux fur lining to add that extra level of implied luxury. Maybe using the Timbaland influence wasn’t the best idea for these shoes. Did I just say Timbaland? Oops. Freudian slip. I’m not sure if these are sneakers, boots, sandals or slippers. I don’t even think renowned internets celebrity and blogging tastemaker Combat Jack would still wear these. I’m sure these Roc-A-Wear joints will be popular though. How can they not be? It’s the Roc bitch!
