Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

Its almost that time! FTYA Sneaker Battle is almost here!

Event: “Frshr Than Your Avrge Sneaker Battle”
Date: Saturday May 12th, 2012
Time: 12 Noon to 5 PM
Place: Public Assembly – 70 North 6th St, Bklyn

About the Event:

Frshr Than Your Avrge is a BUY/SELL/TRADE event with a major twist. It’s also a Sneaker Battle where the contestants in the battle as well as the winner are selected solely by the crowd from a registered pool of contestants. There are three (3) judges for the event who will serve as watchdogs for the following criteria under which all battle participants are judged:

(1) Condition of your Kicks
(2) Knowledge of your Kicks
(3) How well you “Rocked” your kicks.

Grand Prize for the winner includes the coveted FTYA Trophy, NEW SNEAKERS, GIFT CERTIFICATES, CLOTHES, AND OF COURSE BRAGGING RIGHTS!

Contestants must pre-register their kicks in order to lock in their spot and prevent anyone else from registering the same pair of kicks. Anyone looking to participate should go here for all the information.

DOOOOOOOOM!

Just don’t call these dudes a rap supergroup. I thought to call them rap’s Defenders (a group most comic heads slept on except maybe the ‘purists’) but Roc Marci let me know they weren’t becoming a group.

Large Professor (Dr. Strange?) put this concoction together and this is the outcome.

Action Bronson opens for the other rappin’ chef, Raekwon, at Princeton University.

I watched Bronson pull off this rapping while in the crowd stunt at the College Music Jornal in NYC last year and it never gets old seeing people have fun at a rap show.
