Monday, November 19th, 2012Roc Marciano: Reloaded
Monday, November 19th, 2012
Rap music has always been enthralled with the tales of the unapologetic mobster. The gangster who is unbowed and UN-compromised by his environment and or circumstances. Roc Marciano is that persona.
Marciano reminds me of Raekwon’s character from the original Cuban Linx album. The rhymes are all raw, but where Raekwon is esoteric in his wordplay Roc Marciano is lucid and brilliantly shining.
Roc Marciano also produces haunting soundscapes filled with violins and violence reminiscent of the dystopia crafted by Mobb Deep. Queensbridge, Hempstead, NYC. Only rap nerds like Robbie might could connect those seemingly disparate dots.
‘Death Parade’
‘Not Told’ featuring Knowledge Pirate and Ka
This song features Brownsville Ka using his deep, mysterious flow. I’m waiting to hear the Metal Clergy project with Roc and Ka. I’m still pressing them to make a track called ‘Full Metal Clergy’. They not fuxing with me tho’.
‘Tek 2 A Mac’
This is MY JAM! I’m gonna give this track some fanboy treatment in few. I feel like I don’t really need any more music for the rest of 2012, but next week the homey Meyhem Lauren has another project dropping thru Mishka. Real Hip-Hop. It don’t stop.
Outfit Architecture…
Saturday, November 17th, 2012
I haven’t been too motiv8d to post Outfit Architecture drops because I thought it was getting boring. But when the homey Meyhem Lauren graciously allowed me to preview some of his upcoming work and he namechecked Outfit Architecture my whole demeanor switched up. Thanks Meyhem.
I’m in these streets try’na copp the Air Jordan Retro IX ‘Olive’ this weekend and this is my ‘fit. I popped tags on the Polo RL Millrose varsity jacket. I love this shit for all its inherent swag. You couldn’t tell me I wasn’t in the Olympics when I put this I.T. on. Or at least at the Millrose Games at the Armory.
I figured I should break down the components of the outfit that stand out to me and helped push my attitude to 1000. We gonna do the drafting of this emotional outfit from head to toe…
My fitted spot is Poleberg out in Queens. They ain’t gonna sell you a cap as cheap as they would to me personally, but if you mention my name they will cut you a disco.
Big shouts to Bobby Fresh for the tee and all the joints he produces to rock with your favorite sneakers. Get fresh, or get left
These are the bands that make me dance. SneakerTubeTV has the red, white and blue 3-pack and the bonus is that the clear white joint actually glows in the dark. Swerve.
There is nothing more important to your building than your footings. That is your foundation. You already KNOW how the kid feels about ‘Detroit Pistons’ retro 6s. And there you have it.
SNEAKERCONNNNNNNNNN!
Saturday, November 17th, 2012
Who’s going to SneakerCON today?
Who’s copping the Air Jordan Retro IX ‘Olives’ today?
Who’s coming to the Bronx to see the Internets Celebrities special presentation for the Bronx Documentary Center?
The only answer to all of these questions is simply: Dallas Penn
Cranberry Swag Lifestyle…
Friday, November 16th, 2012
In another week you are gonna be visiting your fam and eating that tryptophan turkey with the cranberry sawse. I wish everybody has a safe holiday with their family and friends.
I’m still putting I.T.’s on my holiday wish list hoping that R.L. has one of those everlasting online sales for Black Friday.
Navajo print hoodie since I have the socks to match this
I need another ‘USA’ themed I.T. like I need a whole in my brain but I like the colorblocking on this rugby enough to add it to the archives
I liked the blue of this piece and the details at the wrist and shoulder yoke. R.L. seems to be O.D.’ing with all these nationalistic rugby jerseys especially since these don’t even represent the sovereign colors of Spain. Kanye shrugs tho’ since I will be having international swag
Several of these pilot bombers have been issued over the last few years. I fux with the coyote fur collar on the older versions. I think R.L. newest vibe isn’t to use actual fur.
