SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

foamposities

Sean P and I mostly agree on shit when it comes to kicks (other than New Balance). We both have hell’a Dunks and Air Max and not so much Jordan brand shit. So I was surprised the other day when P sent me an e-mail describing the latest shoes on his wish list along with the joints that were receiving his vaunted “Emphatically 14 15” designation.

For those of you keeping score at home, when Ruck says “14 15” he is speaking on the 14th and 15th letters in the alphabet. The N and O. Non Cipher for all of you cats who are still 5-percenters. Nyet for my dude Dmitry Vortman and any other Russian heads up here on DP dot com. An emphatic 14 15 means that he wouldn’t get pictured in that item. Think Ricky Rothchild rugbys and the what not.

The shoes that P is fuxing with are the Air Force 1 Foamposites.

I don’t typically fux with Forces at all. I can count all my pairs of Forces on one hand. The idea of a foam Force was executed better with the ‘Forceposite’ design. These Air Force 1 Foamposites look like Frankenstein boots.

The shoes getting the ‘Emphatic 14 15’ are the Air Jordan Alpha 1 Outdoors FTLOTG (For The Love Of The Game – for those of you keeping score at home). I’m mad now because I fux with these joints. The Air Jordan Alpha 1 is being slept on by the masses.

Alpha 1s

Props to TheShoeGame.com

What do y’all Sneaker Fiends think? Are you fuxing with the Air Force 1 Foams? Are you shitting on the Air Jordan Alpha 1s? Is that powder blue colorway not the bomb. I’ma let y’all decide.

Getting Too Old For This Shit…

On Tuesday night Chocolate Snowflake and I had made plans to have dinner with a couple of her friends. After a few bottles of wine and some delicious pasta I decided to take the night off from my usual routine of staying awake until 5am and posting drops on the page. This allowed me to get some really good rest and look like a human at the day job instead of a homeless person (a quote from a co-worker).

Wednesday evening afterwork found me with the IC crew and our big homey, Jesse Thorn from The Sound of Young America. Jesse fux with us hardbody. We went out to the $.20cent wingspot and ordered 80 wings and two(2) pitchers of Yuengling. After that we fell thru Rich Medina’s party and chilled for a few. Rich had the deep soul grooves spinning and the IC’s were doing what we like to do most… Winning. The night originally called for all of us to convene at CitiField for the Mets v. Padres matchup but the rain changed that maneuver.

Thursday night wasn’t as rainy so I took C.S. to CitiField with the unused tickets from the previous night. The Mets young pitcher John Niese nearly pitched his own version of a perfect game but all the news stories about the event have been focused on Lady Gaga’s appearance at the game and the shit she was getting into. Which goes to show you that if you go to a beisbol game and do some ghey shit you are far better off than a group of guys trying to make a documentary.

So now it’s Friday night and I should be getting ready to go somewhere and spend the money I should be applying to my cellphone bill, or my light bill, or heaven forbid my gotdamn rent. Instead I’m here in the basement checking on all the shit that has been happening in the world since the last drop I posted a month ago. Oh what? It wasn’t a month ago you say? It was only two(2) days ago, but it feels like its been such a long time. Thanks to Diesel, $yk, Grand$, get, LionXL, Jerz, LM, Foster, ‘Spekt and everyone who kept the light on over here.

It’s summertime in NYC.

Ghetto Big Mac III Coming Soon…

fry king

If you think the Internets Celebrities are resting on their laurels after the critical success of ‘Stadium Status’ you are sorely mistaken. The final episode of the Ghetto Big Mac trilogy is the next target for a shooting schedule. But first, what will be GBM-3?

Ghetto Big Mac is legendary (Oh snizzap! Peep the tag ‘nigger’)

And the Futuristic Brunch is a slept on classic.

So the question remains… What is the final Ghetto Big Mac movie?

Summer Jams: Thank Me L8r…

drake

Drake’s debut album is the sonic event for 16yr olds worldwide. This album wasn’t as cheesy as I thought it would be. I mean, it’s pillow soft, but it isn’t Justin Bieber for Black people.

Drake isn’t going to bring back anything about rap’s golden era and that is fine. In 2010 I don’t think we should be looking in the rearview mirror to move forward. Rap has returned to its dancing at the disco roots and Drake injects his own type of Rap & Bullshit into the matrix.

Thank Me Later is all 808s without the heartbreak. It’s a fun album for the 2010 summer. It won’t make it to the fall tho’. And it honestly doesn’t want to. TML wants to have fun now and see how many groupies it can pick up without really trying.

Thank Me Later will own the aspirational rap niche this summer with all the guest features that fill this album up. I want to call this disk a pancake because it’s dripping with syrup.


‘Fireworks’ featuring Alicia Keys

‘Fancy’ featuring T.I. and Swizz Beats

‘Show Me A Good Time’

On my first couple of spins of TML I would give it a double Lutherburger [ll] rating with extra cheese thanks to all the features.

Summer Jams: Recovery…

recovery

WTF is wrong with this dude Eminem? This album is his 808 & Heartbreak. Eminem finally exorcises his Proof ghost on wax and I have to admit that Eminem went in gheyer than Drake. How did he manage that? With the worst singing ever on a rap album. EVAR! When Eminem harmonizes he makes Biz Markie sound like Ronald Isley.

I feel like there is a song on this album where Eminem speaks on going thru a sex change. This is a departure from his usual emo suicidal tendencies. Proof’s death was fucked the fuck up that’s for sure, but to cut your stick off is some other shit. This older instrospective Eminem is gheyer than a bag of dildos.

Oh wait a minnit… There’s a song eviscerating his ex-wife. He’s back. But no. This anthem filled Eminem is making rap into a fistpumping exercise [ll]. Yeah, the Situation will be masturbating to this album. If you hated the fake accents Eminem employed in Relapse (and I didn’t) you will hate the falsetto singing on the hooks. Eminem also namechecks KanYe in several songs.

WTF is this shit?!? My favorite song on the album is a Pink feature?

Am I going ghey?

Damn you Marshall Mathers!


‘Won’t Back Down’ featuring Pink

’25 To Life’

‘???’

The lyrical beast doesn’t show his face until the last untitled track on the album. I understand that Eminem had to express his love for his fallen brother and I hope that he finally realizes the way to shout out to your people is to be your best manimal. Unbowed and undefeated. There are too many songs on this album that require you to hold a candle in the air.

At a rap show in Detroit’s Ford Field this album means you are gonna need hell’a deoderant.
