Chocolate Snowflake ain’t neva lie when she said that I don’t need to buy any more kicks just to be able to coordinate my gear perfectly. I had these Dunks in the archive and I excavated them looking for deadstock pairs to sell at the Brooklyn Flea on Saturday.
The strings line up with the 5 panel lifestyle chapeau like a mother. Question now is whether I go to the Flea hardbody in my shorts just to let the socks rock flamboyantly?
PrA’li.
The Roots next album will be an experimental Hip-Hopera titled ‘UnDun’ about the brief life of a young man caught up in the streetlife.
Allow me to let Questlove tell the story…
“At this point in our career we’d like for our work to have a unifying theme, and an experiential quality. We’ve been intentionally making our albums shorter in length so that they can be experienced as a continuous work. The music is band-oriented with an eye on the moody cinematic. As a DJ, I am the King of playlists, but I don’t want our albums to feel like a playlist or a mixtape for that matter. We want to tell stories that work within the album format and we want the stories to be nuanced and useful to people.
Undun is the story of this kid who becomes criminal, but he wasn’t born criminal. He’s not the nouveau exotic primitive bug-eyed gunrunner like Tupac’s character Bishop in Juice… he’s actually thoughtful and is neither victim nor hero. Just some kid who begins to order his world in a way that makes the most sense to him at a given moment… At the end of the day… isn’t that what we all do?”

There is something very futuristic yet very alien about the Nike Foamposite shoe. I was having a hard time recalling why the shoes upper was so tantalizing to my eyes. Then out of the blue I remembered how the shoe was reminiscent of drawings I saw from that German nutcase H.R.Giger.
The exterior ridges on the shoe give it that exoskeletal appeal and the clear outsole is certainly how it is being done in outerspace. The shoes featured below are a player exclusive for Penny Hardaway himself. Lucky bastid.
The ageless prince of Hip-Hop lets the visuals fall to the song that set off the summer.
That boy good.
That boy NaSty.
Evidence of the missing link has been found in a remote region in Siberia, Russia. Finally, the industrial development of the planet in its furthest corners has uncovered this magnificent mystery.
I remember watching the Bigfoot ‘In Search Of’ episode when I was a little kid. Even tho’ I lived in the city I was still afraid I would see the creature in my neighborhood. I definitely thought I would see the animal when I went camping. I was scared shitless.
Now I feel sorry for the animal. The planet sux. The economy is fucked the fuck up and television programming is in the terlet. Maybe if they would bring back ‘In Search Of’…
God bless Bigfoot.
