My apartment is an extremely expensive storage unit. All my hopes and dreams fill these brightly painted walls. I’m going to have to sell most of this shit tho’. And then put my apartment on the market too.

So I’m busy putting my sneaker boxes in cardboard boxes. I’m so OCD about my shit I deserve a television show. There’s my deadstock New Balance stash.

When I go to Atlanta I have to remind myself to rock these joints. I bought these LeBron 9s to wear when I visit with my mom on her birthday. Remind me to take these to Atlanta.

This video is called the ‘Reboxxing’. I put an outfit inside of the retro VII tray of the Golden Moments Pack. This is the type of shit I do when I’m in my archives. I got issues. LOL

GHETTO CELEB MATHEMATICS: HIP-HOP HONORS WEEK

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013

red math

New York City schoolkids are failing miserably in the state mandated standardized math tests. The schools chancellor says that the test is too hard. I say that we need to find a new way to bring math studies to these kids. To that end your favorite blogger slash political consultant slash relationship advisor turns his laser eye on new millenium mathematics prep.

If you fuck with this site with any regularity then you know that we have already done a Ghetto Celeb Mathematics drop, but this one has a decided focus on honoring one of DP dot com’s favorite Hip-Hop icons – RUSSELL JONES b/k/a OL’ DIRTY BASTARD. Ghetto Celebrity Mathematics brings complex theorems into a nice and easy reference guide using popular culture icons. We chose to use Ol’ Dirty Bastard because of his universal appeal and the fact that he loved the kids, but not in a MARK FOLEY kind of way. O.D.B. left us two years ago for a trip on the mothership, but his life was filled with quotes that let us know he wasn’t doing this rap thing for himself, but for the kids…

“I see things from a one-eye perspective and the four-eye perspective. The one-eye perspective is being able to see everything, as clear as my eye can see it.”

“… this is what Wu Tang do, come with something beautiful for you, like high science. Einstein has a formula, Wu Tang has a formula. A part equals a square and all that stuff, you know what I’m saying? We have a formula, too. The formula is to attack everything at any given time. Just attack and shit like a waterfall, or like water in rapids or more like a fucking whirlpool, fuck you.”

“I went and bought me an outfit today that costed a lot of money today, youknowImean?, ’cause I figured that Wu-Tang was gonna win! I don’t know how y’all see it, but when it comes to the children, Wu-Tang is for the children! We teach the children! You know what I mean? Puffy is good, but Wu-Tang is the best! Okay? I want you all to know that this is ODB, and I love you all, peace!”

We love you too DIRTY. Rest in peace. Wu-Tang forever.

ol dirtThe unpredictable lyrical magic of O.D.B. multiplied by the explosive nature of TIMOTHY McVEIGH gives you the political philosophy of North Korean leader KIM JONG IL.

ol dirtThe hair and charisma of BIG BAGY JESUS added to the sincerity of MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. that Black people might one day get their shit together = AL SHARPTON (circa YUSUF HAWKINS).

ol dirtThe orange jumpsuit of DIRT McGIRT times Pittsburgh pitcher DOC ELLIS on LSD results with former Mets pitcher DWIGHT ‘DOC’ GOODEN wearing an orange jumpsuit.

ol dirtThe crazy sex appeal of OSIRIS when divided by the vocal stylistics of BOBBY WOMACK gives us BOBBY BROWN.

ol dirtThe energy and uncontrollable Negro madness of OL’ DIRTY is added to the poetic genius of a young LANGSTON HUGHES = REGGIE NOBLE, the funk doctor b/k/a REDMAN.

Outfit Architecture…

Architecture doesn’t always have to be grand and overstating to be good design. I like the rowhouses in the District of Columbia. They are similar in width to the brownstones of Bed Stuy Brooklyn, but the difference is how they use their facades. I love how the D.C. rowhouses let natural light inside of their buildings. God is always in the details.

I copped this blue label down vest last spring while visiting my mom in Atlanta. Something silly like $65 bucks from Macy’s. The Peak vest has quickly become my go-to piece of outerwear. It’s lightweight, warm and allows me the flexibility of rocking layers.

The sweater is def one of those joints that would be itchy if I let it rock on my skin but I always wear a layer between myself and this piece.

I’m loving the silky holiday scarf. It even has a Black Santa vignette. The OG Santa myth is from Africa like everything else we love.

I freaked my footings with these classic Timberland trekkers. The architects and engineers in my office all sport this shoe. It’s too smart to be stylish, but that is why I selected these joints. Gore-Tex lining FTW.
