Respect The Architects…

That dude in the pic above is my homey KyleStyle156.

KyleStyle is the dude that put me on into the graff lifestyle. Kyle brought me into the fold at this non-profit organization called ICRY which stood for Inner City Roundtable of Youth. ICRY would be all about getting graff kids public art projects. They wouldn’t pay the kids but when you are 13yrs old you want a reap and fame way more than money.

KyleStyle156 def had a rep. He and JonOneFiveSix were the last top to bottom kings on the 1 line. I used to post up at Chambers Street to catch their trains going to and coming from South Ferry. I just re-connected with KyleStyle via the interconnected networks at Facebook. Here are some of the pics he uploaded to his page.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

SneakerTUBE.tv is running a contest for the next two weeks called ‘Rep Your Sneaker ‘hood’ where they are asking members to upload a video describing their neighborhood sneaker store. It’s supposed to be a video about the places you copp your kicks.

Go to SneakerTUBE.tv for all the rules and details on the contest. There are gonna be some great prizes for the winners of the contest and since I’m one of the judges I can’t enter so now you at least have a shot.

I visited Richie’s on Delancey Street over the weekend for some Valentine’s Day retail therapy (loving myself >>>). I copped the Air Jordan retro 6s (L.A. Lakers) and the Air Jordan retro 13s (white) together for less than the box price of one of those shoes.

Delancey Street is STILL my sneaker ‘hood.

The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…

Monday, February 14th, 2011

The Timberland 68084 is another premium boot from my archives.

Timberland makes the best shoes so that you can have the best experiences.

This is the main boot I wore during the 8 months I worked on the Ground Zero recovery and removals project at the World’s Trade Center.

I also wore these boots the last time I went camping with my dad.

Timberland makes the boots. It’s up to us all to find the adventure.

Happy Valentine’s Day From Torae…

Monday, February 14th, 2011

torae

Hip-Hop is usually a euphemism for a bunch of sweaty dudes in a room looking at one another [ll]. Extra [ll] actually. Even when you hear ladies spit it’s still aggressive and threatening. No one remembers the LL Cool J who could be ‘BAD’ and still need love.


‘Fresh’


‘Point Of View’


‘Love Is War’

Torae’s ‘Heart Failure’ EP is like charting love thru the eyes of an emcee. First you have to seduce a bitch. Then you fuck the shit out of her. After that you go back to the studio to make more hits, but the bitch swears you on the streets seducing other ho’s. Y’all argue. You cut that bitch off but then you realize that she had some bomb ass pussy so you apologize to her. Then you realize that she is a crazy bitch and you are better off alone so you go back to the studio to make more ‘punch people in the mouf’ music.

Okay, that is a simplistic overview of the EP, but don’t front if you can relate. I’m fuxing with this EP for Valentine’s Day because I know exactly the place in his heart Torae is rapping from.

#329 – Killing Sprees

Maksim Gelman continues the carnage committed by single white males in the early part of 2011. If you already thought white was insane in the membrane just wait until 2012.

Apocalypto.
