Log Cabin Lifestyle…

Tuesday, September 11th, 2012

I love this time of the year. I’m already plotting my Outfit Architecture for the next few months. I’m going in for the nuevo-hikernati swag. I’m gonna be extra heavy on my Timberland grind.

I sold a few kicks on eBay so I could justify buying this vest in a meetup for $100

The plaid shirt and Tim 7-eye Goretex are from the archives at C.S. crib.

I love these Polo vests with the snap-off hoods. I have a black one as well, and now I just need the blue joint, or is that O.D.?

The 7-eye Goretex are sweet. I can tell you that I wear these joints without socks because they feel that good to my feet. That being said they aren’t my first choice as the footings for this ‘Fit. I’ve got my eye on a pair of Timberland x Rag & Bone ranger boots which are sublimely fresh. I’ma try and sneak this into C.S. crib under her radar.

I don’t even know why I’m putting these ‘Fits together since I don’t wear anything when I go hiking…

Lunchroom Battles: The Mixtape…

Tuesday, September 11th, 2012

What was it about rap music that made you tune in so completely? Was it the deft use of language? Was it the boom bap of the drumbeat? Whatever it was that made you fall in love with rap music when you first heard it is contained on this mixtape produced by my homey Gudtyme.

Lunchroom Battles is a compilation of some of the more rare early rap recordings from legends like NaS, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap and Slick Rick, plus other rap heroes gone but never forgotten. Lunchroom Battles is a document to how far rap has come since people were taking this shit as a joke, a passing fad with a chain and a rope.

Gudtyme called this first edition of what will be a series of mixtapes; ‘Lunchroom Battles: Desperately Seeking Vanessa‘. You have to read the drop he wrote to fully understand the title. BTW, the nude pic of Vanessa Williams is NSFW

Sucker For Love…

Today wasn’t a good Christmas for everyone who loves football.

For Chad Johnson it was like Ebenezer Scrooge came thru and gave him a lump of coal. Chad can put that lump in his chest, right where his heart used to be. If Chad Johnson hadn’t wanted to love the spotlight so badly would he have been Chad Johnson?

Marq Spekt has a track titled ‘Skin Is Thin’ from his EP project ‘Broken Mazes’ with Gary Wilson that I feel describes the place Chad Johnson is living in right now. Evelyn Lozada wasn’t even with Chad when he was shooting the gym. SMH

A Tale Of Two Cities…

The Barclay’s Center isn’t the only divide between the King’s County haves and the boro’s have-nots.

When Brooklyn isn’t a gentrification paradise, it’s a a nativist hellhole.

Even the Daily News is peeping game

I’m glad that Hip-Hop still has some young voices who want to question this social system of shadow proxy slavery
