So this is why XXL can’t pay me on time?
Harris Publications is apparently too busy milking Rick Ross’ boobies.

Monday, May 19th, 2008This Summer Is Looking Mighty Healthy…
Sunday, May 18th, 2008
You know Mighty Healthy is 40 Dawg’s family. Them cats is my peoples too, and maybe one day they might could retro the Albee Square Mall t-shirt, esoecially since the developer is demolishing the building at this very moment.
I fucks with these cats because they represent for true Hip-Hop heads. Mighty Healthy gets down kind of like this website does. They produce shit that you have to examine for the subtext and layered meanings. I know what you’re thinking now, “GTFOH! These dudes are just a t-shirt company!” Yes and no. T-shirts now are first and foremost lifestyle items. They transmit your influence and your state of mind. I find a blank white t-shirt to be the favorite item of people with nothing going on in their brains.
Mighty Healthy studies pop culture on a professorial level. Seriously. That may be the thing that that has stopped them from going nuclear is the fact that they are too smart with their designs. I hope they get a liftoff this summer. With soooo many brands in the streetwear game it is gonna be a dogfight out there (no Michael Vick). I’m rolling with Mighty Healthy. Are you with me?
MORE PAIN AT THE PUMP…
Saturday, May 17th, 2008
The Wall Street Journal is forecasting doom and gloom in the world of women’s footwear.
I think its fascinating exactly how many consumer goods we import from China and what price we end up paying on our end. We know that the Chinese worker typically lives in abject poverty yet we still spend a kings’ ransom on the products they make. Where is all of the money going? It appears to me that U.S. corporate executives are disgustingly overcompensated.
This news should portend to higher prices for all of us sneaker fiends as well. This is going to require some drastic action on behalf of the Sneaker Fiends Unite! movement. Next weekend will be the first monthly NYC tour promoted by Sneaker Fiends Unite! Stay tuned for details…
Same Damn ‘Lo Sweater…
Friday, May 16th, 2008
I’m computerless until I get back to Freeport so bear with me party people. It’s 2am and I am sitting on a park bench on Eastern Parkway like the bum I am. Albeit a bum in a cotton RL knit and a crispy pair of Dunk Lo’s that I popped the tag on today.
I just got back to BK from the city and one of the best Obamas so far this season. Courvosier and LRG did it up big, Frank White style. Free food, free swag (prA’li members check your snail mail soon) and free top shelf ‘yac. Courvosier Exclusif. Ha! Niggas should like this shit.
First off, its fucking good. They flavored it with cinnamon and vanilla hints. If you are on some fancy negro thug Hennessy Privilege shit then you need to step your snifter game up.
Niggas like shit that is difficult to pronounce. I can’t say Courvosier properly now because I am fucked the fuck up. I got to turn around quick this morning too and get my day grind popping serious. The folks in my progress meeting better like the smell of sweat, ass and alcohol because those are the scents coming through my pores today. H.A.M.diggy.
Sheeeeeit. If I didn’t have those scents I wouldn’t have any because you know I ain’t got no more sense in my head. Three straight nights of totally free cognac and I may need a liver replacement by Sunday
40Diesel rolled through with the Mighty Healthy crew and after the Obama we hit up another joint. That Estelle song has been my shit for the entire spring. I get my bounce right off that joint. Coordinated bigman steeZo of course.
Depending on how hard I go in for Round 2 tonight I may not see you fools until next week. Bigup to the folks over at the radio show Obsessive Sneaker Disorder(Google that shit since making the code for hyperlinks on a blackberry is insane). I was building with these cats during their last episode and I sort of O.D.’ed. They had to shut my microphone off. Love is love though and they invited me back to promote the upcoming Sneaker Fiends United! NYC tours.
I will go upstairs and catch me some Z’s now that I am confident I won’t be vomiting.
Courvosier: For negroes what knows that classy shit
SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!
Monday, May 12th, 2008
True story is that when 40 Diesel hit me on the com-link this Saturday I was a few steps from my favorite sneaker spot of the moment.
Dr. Jay’s on Fordham Road is killing the game right now with their ridiculon sales of general release and urban account NIKE kicks. I’m talking about $20 and $30 for fly shit. And when you spend the amount of guap that I do on footwear its cool to come up on shoes for 70% off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, or MSRP as we say in the acronymonic game.
This week’s drop features the shoes issued as an homage to the groundbreaking action figure franchise that became a cartoon, then a comic book and now a soon to be released feature film. There were three(3) different styles that were created for the G.I. Joe pack. Dr. Jay’s was selling the Air Assault retro for $30. I had to get in where I fit in.
The camo print is on some futuristic nuclear forest type shit. I won’t even try to match these kicks with anything else. Why bother? Extra sets of laces is the minimum right now. I love the inside materials as much as the outside like the padded collar and the printing on the insoles. With all the outdoor music festivals scheduled for this summer I won’t feel a kind of way if by August these shoes are muddied up beaters. I wish I could score all my Air Max shoes for $30.
Can we get this popping Dr. Jay’s?
