Friday, May 20th, 2011Chapeau Game Proper…
Thursday, May 19th, 2011
I come from that era where real men wore hats.
Back in the days we didn’t refer to New Era caps as ‘fitteds’ because we called them ‘pro hats’. Regular cats had snapbacks at that time but if you had a ‘pro hat’ you were balling. You had to get a ‘pro hat’ from a professional sporting goods shop. Not a Modell’s or some African dude on the sidewalk.
You had to go to Cosby’s in MSG back then for that OFFICIAL.
I still fux with the ‘pro hat’ hardbody. Here are my prospective pickups for this summer…
Minnesota’s classic Twin City interlock logo on a navy base with a red bill might be the most slept on joint of all time. Most heads that fux with navy/red combos hit the Braves or Indians cap and miss this everlasting classic.
Peace to Harmon Killebrew, which might be the illest name to have if you like to drink beer
Another one of my all-time favorites is the classic Milwaukee joint that the Hammer wore before he hung his cleats. The blue and gold also matches up with my Polo lifestyle program to a tee.
Sean Price and I might be the only dudes outside of Pennsylvania with more ‘P’ hats than a little bit. This is another cap I choose to connect to my lifestyle apparel. The American red and royal blue colorways are built for the days in between the Memorial and Labor holidays.
Summer In The City…
Thursday, May 19th, 2011
The two best things about the 2011 summer will be the Internets Celebrities video series – ‘I.C. NYC’ and CityParks Foundation’s SummerStage lineups throughout the city. For over twenty years CityParks Foundation has produced outdoor free concerts in NYC. They are responsible for some of the best concerts I have ever been to.
This summer will be no different and I’ve highlighted some of the performances where I will definitely be in effect with a picnic basket and a bottle or two of that rozay [ll].

Random AXE – ‘The Hex’…
Wednesday, May 18th, 2011
One of the most anticipated albums of the last few months has been this Random AXE project. Random AXE is rap music’s latest supergroup and is comprised by the combination of Sean Price along with Guilty Simpson and Black Milk from Detroit.
Why do all Detroit rappers spit as if they are rhyming for their lives? PrA’li because they are. Guilty Simpson is about to be on a lot more people’s radar after this album drops. Maybe even RapRadar altho’ they don’t really fux with this super hardbody shit.
The first video from the group is called ‘The Hex’ and it is the visual benchmark for what you might expect from these wild boys. Hide the women and children on June 14th because there will be a slaughter in the streets.
SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!
Wednesday, May 18th, 2011
Our favorite rapper is also our favorite sneaker fiend. Sean Price has created a series of kicks honoring Black cinematic heroes. The ‘LeVar Burton’ pack was official. Now he gives us the ‘Billy Dee Williams’ pack minus the Colt45.
Ruck keeps it classy for the internets.
Mahogany Premium Dunk Lo
The butter soft suede on these joints is irresistible to starlets and sneaker fiends.
Lando Calreezy Huarache 2K4
With the blue suede to match the Bespin guard uniform Sean Price again shows us Billy Dee’s swag is unstoppable
The Bingo Long All-Stars Air Max 95
Swag on a trillion. Word to Richard Pryor.
