BILLY X. SUNDAY asks the question… “Why rap?”
Who said you had to rap in order for you to make a Hip-Hop record? The truth is that you don’t have to rap at all. How many Hip-Hop records have been hits with simple call and response chants? How many Hip-Hop records are simply instrumental compositions? How many Hip-Hop classics have someone singing? If you are younger than 25 or a fucking retard you should put Oran ‘Juice’ Jones inside of the YouTube search window, or DRS Gangsta Lean. Rapping is only a part of making a Hip-Hop record.
After listening to Fisty Scent’s latest leak ‘Heartless Monster’ I realized how he could make an entire album of himself simply ad-libbing random thoughts with the reverb turned up and that shit would be the most entertaining record of the year. As a matter of fact it would be the top seller too. Provided the beats were brutally hard as fuck. On ‘Heartless Monster’ Fisty doesn’t start “rapping” until the 0:22 mark. He then raps until the 1:29 position. The song is three minutes long. So essentially there is 1 minute of rhymes over 3 minutes of music. During the rest of that time Fisty makes shout outs and threats and amuses himself while saying random shit with the reverb turned up.
That was the best part of the song. Okay, he did have that line about having a baby with your baby mama and becoming part of your family. That was good but the most entertaining aspect of the song is Fisty Scent’s greasy talk. When he talks about sending the young goons out to beat up faggots or making his own R-n-B album you have to laugh. Not that Fisty wouldn’t do either of these things, but just the idea that he amuses himself with spazzing out is what makes for a good piece of music. I’m already imagining some of the titles that Fisty might use for his new album…
Fuck These Faggots
On FTF Fisty Scent speaks about how the music industry is overrun with faggotry. He talks about how auto-tune and skinny jeans suck and he says that your favorite rapper is likely to be homosexual. The beat is by Dre. Shit is a classic.Bitches Ain’t Shit
With BAS Fisty airs out all the hos that just want to spend up niggers monies. Fisty talks about some bitch he is fucking that follows him around the country with her man’s checkbook. Beats again are by Dre.I Will Kill You Man
Fisty warns anyone that would even think of using these beats by Dre for their mixtape that he will personally visit their home and kill them. This joint is produced by Lord Finesse, er, rather Dre.Fuck These Rappers
This is the Fisty track we have all been waiting for. He proceeds to air out The Game, Lil’ Wayne, Young Buck and Kanye West by telling us the story that they were all at an orgy together and only Fisty had sex with the women.Fuck These Homos
Faggots really piss off Fisty Scent and now he directs his ad-libs at the industry people that shit on his projects or just simply don’t think he is the best. This song is powered by yet another Dr.Dre throwaway track which was considered for Detox.
The beats are what make this Fisty Scent ad-lib album so memorable. They knock hard and they help him get out the aggressive talk that returns him back to the top of the heap of Hip-Hop artists. The next thing we see in Hip-Hop is a bunch of rappers turning the reverb up to 10 to talk shit. Haha, and some of you thought auto-tune sucked!?!
Blogger’s note: [ll] pause to this entire drop of course

If you think my sneaker stannery has some limit then you don’t even know the half. My shit is out there in the effin’ cosmos. I touch down on Earth every so often just to update this blog before I blast off again. There is nothing on my geek radar I go more apeshit for than Star Wars. If I have the opportunity to combine Star Wars x sneakers then I am happier than a clam is pesce poop.
I bought the NIKE SB’s that dropped in the fall that are being called the Boba Fett’s. I like them enough, but they made me really try to think about whether or not Boba Fett would wear them. I realized that Boba Fett was too bad ass futuristic for a pair of SB Dunk His. Don’t get me wrong, these kicks are awesome and the whole nine, but when you are talking about Boba Fett you are referring to the baddest Mandalorian bounty hunter of all tme. Sheeeeeit, the entire Imperial infantry was cloned from his DNA
So this begs the question… “What would Boba Fett wear?”
First off, it has to be hardbody futuristic for roaming the far reaches of the galaxy and the outer rim. [ll] to searching through the outer rim. Secondly, the shoes would have to comfortable since Boba Fett never gets undressed. Not even to deuce. His solid waste products are filtered into his jetpack as fuel. Boba Fett just redrinks his liquid waste. I told you sonn was hardbody.
This is a look at Boba Fett’s actual footwear. When I say actual I mean the shit that he wears to kick other people’s asses in. I wouldn’t be surprised if Boba Fett had a blaster in the toeplate. That is the future.
When I saw these NIKE Air Bakin shoes retro’d in a cool grey and slate colorway I knew I found the kicks that the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy would rock. If he were into that sort of thing. My lone customization from these pictures is that I replaced the white barrel rolled laces with slate joints so that you don’t even see them over the shoes vamp.
The best part is that Vault Harlem let me use my Jedi Force powers for the super discount.

Chopping it up with Clark Kent has got me on my sneaker fiend x superhero grind something serious. If you recall I did a series of NIKE iD’s that were reminiscing on some classic DC Comics heroes and villains.
Batman
Joker
Superman
Lex Luthor (I haven’t posted these joints yet)
If you wanted to see a Black superhero in DC Comics there was pretty slim pickings. They did have one Black dude though and they named him Black Lightning too.
Just in case some white dude showed up with the same power Black Lightning would have to move his ass to the back of the proverbial superhero bus. The Black Lightning books were always getting canceled after only a few issues.
And then when he would try to make a comeback someone would have his costume on
I came up on these Air Max Terra 90’s at Dr.Jay’s Fordham for a little less than MSRP. I had to have these joints. I love Air Max platforms and the blue and yellow/gold colorway is how Blu Cheez loves to rep this thing.
They are really a premium shoe. The leather is exceptional and the construction is supreme. This is an affordable high-end general release sneaker and if you can come up on a pair I suggest you do so.
Oh joy! The Black Lightning character is getting a new mini-series released in a few weeks. I will put that inside the box with my shoes.
Here’s an SNL video clip featuring Black Lightning a.k.a. the Black superhero that nobody knows.

Last night I had one of the best times on the internets that you can have that doesn’t involve downloading German smut videos.
NiceKicks.com presented their annual Kixpys sneaker awards and the show was hosted by my folks from Obsessive Sneaker Disorder. If you haven’t been part of the OSD live broadcast then you don’t know what you are missing. It’s the chance to argue, co-sign, show love and hate to everything happening in the world of sneakers. From time to time the show touches on stories that occur outside of that realm but the discussions are still framed around the love of sneakers. I don’t really know what else to say about the program other than the fact that if you are a sneaker nerd you will feel like Norm does every time he walks into Cheers.
If I’m not in the streets going in hardbody at an obama I am on the phone taking part in this one of a kind program that reaffirms the reason I am a sneaker fiend. OSD was the perfect venue for the Kixpys since this is the one place that spent the entire year commiserating and congratulating all the nominees. The big winner was DJ Clark Kent who took home two awards and also took the time to be part of the program. Clark Kent is a pretty generous and humble dude if you don’t know him, but if he feels comfortable around you he will talk that shit. Clark went in with everyone for the length of the show. He talked about his passion for sneakers as art and as footwear. He also told us that he had some projects in the pipeline that would eclipse his award winners.
The 112 Pack by Clark Kent
The 112 Pack was a tremendous release for NIKE and for Clark Kent. I think that Clark certainly give NIKE their street credibility. NIKE is already popular enough but the edge that Clark Kent gives them is non-pareil because there aren’t too many people that can document the fact that they were there AND are still here. The 112 Pack’s highlight was the Air Max 1 shoe. I am killing myself that I didn’t camp out in Brooklyn for those. That pair would be even sicker than my AM-1 NL Black Cements that I copped from the ATL DunkxChange.
Clark should have won for his NIKE collabo on the Black Friday Air Force 1’s. These are definitely on some superhero status. People are still buzzing about these shoes. The materials are str8 banana beans. I jacked some pics from HowFresh’s website just to show you how mean these shoes are.
Peep that HowFresh went in to pose these kicks on a DJ rig.
The Black Friday AF-1’s are a monster shoe that deserved to win out over the ?uestlove Air Force 1’s but only time will tell which shoe the sneaker heads love more.
