The Green Ghost Project…

Styles P featuring Jadakiss and Junior Reid – ‘Invasion’

Styles P is the last of a dying breed. In five years will there be anyone rapping like this? The underground rap scene is being transformed by dance music and single white females (those are the new rappers). Enjoy this boom bap dinosaur rap while it still breathes.

Last night my peoples at Obsessive Sneaker Disorder put together another classic podcast. Amsterdam sportswear designer Patta came on the show to talk about the recent Nike x Patta collabos that have hit the streets. I’m partial to these Air Max 1s in the hydro green colorway. These joints are smoking.

You do know what the official plant of Amsterdam is right?

SNEAKER STUNTIN’ 101…

Monday, January 11th, 2010

lebron 7s

LeBreezy was killin’ ’em in the streets for the Cav’s away game in Portland. Being an earshot from the Swoosh headquarters must have meant a special trip out to Beaverton before tipoff. LeBreezy went on to drop 41 points and stunt extra hard by simultaneously wearing two different colorways of the LeBron 7’s.

These kicks are supposed to match the Cavs early 1990’s throwback jerseys but the colorways are totally repping for the Mets and the Knicks. I did the same thing in 1985 with the Nike Dunk (word to Rory Sparrow). I’m just glad that LeBreezy is getting his footwear into a New York state of mind.

American Crapparel FTW…

american crapparel

“From the craps tables down in AC, back on the block/Jay-Z mother f*cker from tha’-tha’ the ROC.” -(c) camel

I fux with American Crapparel hardbody (props to The Arab Parrot for coining the phrase).

Their heather gray zip up hoodie goes perfect with jeans and any manner of Nike steez:

douche mustache

Unzipped [ll], you can showcase your favorite t-shirt whilst staying warm. Throw a flannel underneath and you’re on your West Coast B.I. Wear nothing underneath and show off the taco meat [ll]. It’s whatever’s your pleasure, really.

But what really gets me fired up about AC is the models. Their website is better than pr0n. Like, pr0n wishes it could be as gullyriffic as the AC website. What do you expect? Their CEO is a sexual deviant. No shots – at DP.com, sexual deviancy [ll] is mad celebrated. Ixpecially if it leads to the creation of something as dope as AC.

AC goes in on the artsy hipster pseudo-pr0n photography tip something hardbody. For instance, why is this broad bending over backward with her hands on her tushie? No answer for that. But me likey:

easy access

These jeans bring a brother back to the early 80s, when it was considered sexy to wear jeans that came up to the belly button, well before the low-rise fad kicked in and took over. Know what? Shits look bangin…all over again:

old school bellay

And this is the simple shit. I’m not even talking about the fly unitard that just came in for this season:

WOW

But hold up, you didn’t think that’s the best pic they could come up with, did you?

can u dig

And Exhibit C (no Jay Elec-Hanukkah)…show me whatchu twurkin wit:

i'm ready

On the low…this one got a bubba:

BUBBLE BUBBA BUBBA

This one is just filthy…I ain’t mad atchu, guh – get that $:

on the track like jackie jurna

Mack, I’m gawn in:

do u love the web

I’m in love (no sucker for love; no Cappin Save-a-Hoe):

what a bubba

Need I say more:

sheer byooty

If you’re like me, any website that displays half a nipple is blocked by your company’s Haterware – but AC will never be blocked. Thusly, for an afternoon diversion, you can’t beat the AC shwag. Poke around [||] the site for an afternoon – you’ll never be able to predict what sort of innocuous piece of clothing Dov Charney has repurposed in a shwagged-out, 70s pr0n star sort of way. Thank me later (no Canadian Jewish rap star.)

Rostislav Rossky >>> Rick Ross…

Friday, January 8th, 2010

russian mafia

Just like the Russian mafia is more hardbody than anything we have ever made (except for maybe our CIA), the Russian Rick Ross is way more hardbody than the rapper Rick Ross, who is actually a former corrections officer named William Leonard Roberts II.

Yo, is Ross wearing mascara [ll]?!?

Peep how this Russian dude is so bad ass that not only is his profanity bleeped, but he has to have a blackout strip placed over his mouth so that you can’t even read his lips. Rostislav Rossky is so gangster that he shakes down pimps and even the ONLY African dude bootlegging in Russia. Sonn is more hardbody than John Gotti.

This isn’t simply vodka money he is playing around with either, this is that fur-trapper Siberian prison oil money that the Russian Rick Ross is flaunting.

Officer Ricky might can make it rain, but Rostislav Rossky can make it Ruble.
