I had invites to three events in Manhattan last night and all were going down at the same exact time from 7pm-10pm.
1) T.I. LAUNCHES A CLOTHING LINE CALLED AKOO
Music industry starfuckers
2) XXL x FILA @ FILA STORE
Magazine industry starfuckers
3) NIKE ACG @ THE VAULT, HARLEM
Sneakerfiends united
I chose door number three.
Why?
Because NIKE was bringing their ass all the way uptown and at the end of the day I am a sneaker fiend. Yeah, I have a retarded Ralph Lauren collection also along with way too many action figures and comic books, but if I had the choice to be in a room with some of the most beautiful people in this city I would still choose to be around “my people”. For NIKE to spend some money in the ‘hood and not just at the stores on 125th, but the ‘hood is saying something about the realization of Black spending power and conversely, Black style.
This is where I belonged on this night. No pretensions and no industry people with hate in their blood. No obama (open bar) either for the kid although they did cater the party with some righteous soul food. Better yet, sole food. Catfish, scrimps, real mac-n-cheese, candied yams and collards. Somebody needed to yell “church” up in that motherfucker. The message for today party people is to know your lane, stay inside of it, and play it to the fullest. In that way there will never be too much on your plate.
SOLE FOOD
HARLEM SHAKERS
applaud this man.
got ya priorities straight son
Those were some righteous eats. I think I had 3 plates of catfish…
That plate has me real aggie right now…………………..scrimps and fish ahhhhhhh, I know what’s fo’ dinna tonite….
Anyways did they have any new flavors out there?
Dallas- good meeting you. You left that grub sitting stagnant for too long. Too much talking can fuck up a good plate. They had the mini-open bar- as in several cases and it was a wrap. So we improvised and made a couple of bodega runs to maintain the lush life. After 2 plates I had to fall back. But I’ll be hitting it shortly- Famous Seafood on 125 and Bway.
damn… iLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE catfish. I love it more than i love my moms.
Especially when it’s blackened and served with plate of red beans and rice.
I’m jealous DP. Damn.
Heard that Akoo event @ taj was poppin. But seeing Beyonce last night > last night’s events.
can’t go wrong with that plate of food. I need to get back up North (and then subsequently up North within the north, to uptown) ASAP. That event sounds legit.
T.I. may well be the best dressed in hip hop, but if I see another rap ninja tryna peddle clothes or rims that even THEY wont be caught dead in….
Yo Dallas-good BS’ing with you last night..You’re right, your spelling is a lil’ suspect but who’s isn’t!!
tk10705,
You try writing three-four drops at 3-4am

Dallas, just fuckin’ around!! Keep up the good work-I’m a fan!!
