Rugby Lifestyle Remix…

rugby

I’m sad that Rugby won’t let people buy their patches anymore. Hyper-exclusive retailing is the aspiration of poor people attempting to be middle-class… Looking.

I’m glad that I bought my patches years ago and started the trend. I’ve been sitting on a pile of patches and a pile of knits copped from Marshall’s on the come up.

I figured I could marry a few I.T.s with DP.com as the congregation [ll]…

Internets. You need to have several colorway programs to be fully lifestyle. The PRL sport red is basic swag that you can rock all year around if you are a lifestyler from Florida to Texas. This knit was reduced from $34.99 down to $27.00 at first clearance. In all honesty I usually don’t copp from Marshall’s until second clearance or less than $25 bucks. The Rugby patch is funky. That cost me $12 on a sale at the store.

The African tailor on Washington is a good dude. I overpay him with a dub for applying the patch, but I make him do some fly shit to make the patch really popoffavitch. Cross check, outline the numerals and put this material in between the shirt and the patch.

This material gives the patch a nice puffy (no Last train To Paris) look and the material also picks up the sweat from you big sweat-back lifestylers [ll].

The next I.T. is actually a short sleeve rugby knit. Most of you know that the classic Polo short sleeve is fashioned after a polo match knit? This Polo is a rugby shirt. Crosshatched stitching re-inforced shoulder yoke. Marshall’s first retail price was what? $24.99?!? I’m gawn innnnnnnn!

Even tho’ I’m no Yankee fan I can top off this I.T. with the classic navy fitted on some school uniform shit.

The blue/grey program would get officially murderated if I copp the Air Jordan XI ‘Cool Greys’. BONG!

Santa Came To The Ghetto…

ghetto santa

I copped this image from a racist-apologist website. Apparently anything with a Black man on it is automatically ghetto, even if he is wearing a classy tophat.

For this year Santa found my chimney again [ll]. He knows I’m the dude that has almost everything so to hook me up he has to think outside of the box. In this case that means socks.

Dirty Jerz and Chocolate Snowflake came thru with foot coverings that appeal to my heartstrings. Jerz also laced me with more items not pictured here but trust me they are official. Now I feel a kind of way that I haven’t sent my package to him yet [ll].

C.S. also blessed me with a couple of books I’ve needed.

The Anthology of Rap has been buzzing around the internets and I am already enjoying some the songs I’ve seen they have published. I always worried that some white would come around to give rap and Hip-Hop culture the ol’ National Geographic anthropologist treatment and they would inherently fux shit up since they are examining the freedom song without having the right amount of soul.

Yeah, it happened.

At least I have this Willie Mays autobiography to get me hype for the spring. I read this Hank Aaron bio last year that fuxed my head up. It appears that the Hammer and the Say Hey Kid weren’t as tight as I had hoped to believe. Aaron was angry with the Mays comparisons he had gotten all of his career, at least up until he eclipsed Willie on the all-time HR list. Willie was described as a bigot and somewhat of a clubhouse poison. Last I remember both Aaron and Mays have won the same amount of World Series. One.

Anyhoo, I hope you all had a merry Christmas with your folks. I’ll see you on the flipside.

GHOSTFACE KILLAH: Tony Pretty Great…

ghost

When you look the career of Ghostface Killah you might have to put him on the all-time GOAT list. Over Jay AND Em.

Who has been doing Hip-Hop this good for this long? Ghost still spit like he was in the cipher on Broadway and 4th Street outside of Tower Records.

I like this joint right here he rocks with Trife the God. I think Ghost gets a pass for letting his son merc’k him on his own shit. It’s like the second coming of Carlito.


‘Black Tequila’ featuring Cappadonna and Trife

This is the track that reminds you how ill Redman is when you mix him with the Wu. These rhyme bars is all drugs.

‘Troublemakers’ featuring Raekwon, Method Man and Redman

I’m giving Starks his props for letting Black Thought hop on this track. Thought loves killing niggas on they own shit but you can’t defeat a master in his own chamber. Why Ghost had to say Pink Champale? Jellies?! Shamz daBaron?!? Murder.

‘In The Park’ featuring Black Thought

Starks blacks the fux out on this joint. Ghost has one of the rawest rap styles of all time. If he isn’t a GOAT candidate then who is?

‘Starkology’

‘APOLLO KIDS’ was better than it needed to be since it got zero promo from the machine. There is some town on the Russian/German border that is bumping this album hardbody, and they don’t even speak English. This is rap music from the very beginning of Hip-Hop but it isn’t dated its more like timeless. Timeless truth.

TRUCK NORTH: Jamboyz Framboise…

truck north

I need to return to Philadelphia to check on my peoples Truck North and Dice Rizzy. The Jamboyz project is still rolling along and about to pick up steam. The Jamboyz killed the stage at the OKayPlayer holiday jam and Truck North killed this track.
