The 24-7-365 Lifestyle…

Wednesday, June 20th, 2012

My lifestyle isn’t just about rockin’ Lifestyle, but yeah, it’s about just being free to do the things which give you peace.

I love my kicks but sometimes I h8 the game.

The Kobe 7 Supremes are slept on heat rocks.

On my way to this Epic Records meet and greet I fell thru Lord & Taylor on West 39th Street after I got the e-mail that today was the last day to use my 20% Off coupon on clearance items. Lord’s had this hat from the Modern Explorer series I had been scoping out. I was ready to copp that to top of my outfit architecture.

The cap I wanted wasn’t there but I found these two pieces in the $20 bin and with 20% Off that took them down to $16 apiece. A plaid newsboy cap and 5-panel camper joint with a little side patch action. And why the fux not?

After the Epic Records event I decided to slip into Midtown Comics and pick up a couple of books which have been on my mind. We’ll talk about those comics in a future drop.

R.A. Dickey [ll] got the Mets off their weekend skid and Johan Santana brought back the swag along with Lucas Duda’s homerun swing. These are the Metropolitans I want to watch play.

I’ll be in Queens this weekend for the Q-Boro tilt to the annual Subway Series. Holler when you see me in the streets

This footage was shot in June 2010 prior to the aborted launch of EA Sports Elite videogame which featured OKC Thunder superstar Kevin Durant on the cover.

Watching this reminds me to give a shout out to Major (the only store that matters).

Okay, so maybe Lupe Fiasco and Russell Westbrook aren’t the second coming of Steve Urkel, but it doesn’t hurt to imagine…

The Doppelgangaz: Beats For Brothels v.2

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

The black cloak gang is back with this Beats For Brothels 2.0 project. It’s more of those trance rap tracks with the laid back lyrics they love to spit. If there was ever a group who could restart the Tribe vibe it would be The Doppelgangaz. When I say Tribe vibe I’m just talking about music that makes you want to put your headphones on and take a walk thru the city on a quest for kicks, for gear, or for whatever you like.

I can’t say enough good things about the Doppelgangaz. Stream their new project and catch the DPGZ wave with me.

The Doppelgangaz: Beats For Brothels vol. 2


‘What Am I’
I posted the video for this track here a few weeks ago. This is one of those joints that I play several times a week because the groove is sharp and the rhymes are tight. What Am I is one of my favorite joints for 2012 (and beyond).


‘Schemes’
Here’s another joint that shows how sick the Dopp can get behind the boards. If this ain’t your type of rap then I don’t even want to know your name so don’t waste my bandwidth with your inane comments.


‘D.Flutie’
I’m not even mad at the Dopp for this joint. I was sure it was gonna be like so many other rappers who title a song after an nostalgic athlete but this joint ended up being an instrumental. With some flute solos. LMFBAO. Thank you Doppelgangaz for NOT being like anyone else.

HARK!
