Lethal Weapon @ SummerStage…

June 21st, 2012

When Action Bronson announced he’d be on the bill for the City Parks (SummerStage) show at Red Hook Park I knew he was gonna bring out Meyhem Lauren for at least a track.

I’m looking at the pictures of these dudes with the NYC sky turning to dusklight and I feel a sense of satisfaction from their accomplishments. Its a funny thing to actually know these cats and to break bread with them and to talk the artistry and lifestyle of a rap singer.

These dudes were all real before I even met them. Their trajectory is still pointed upwards and onwards. They gonna have to do a track now called ‘Excelsior’. Pardon me internets, I’m just in a New York state of mind.

Cashin’ Out In NYC…

June 20th, 2012

I went to the Akoo Clothing showroom just to meet this cat Ca$h Out because I fux with his single ‘Cashin Out’ so hard [ll]. I wanted to see about getting Ca$h Out on the Combat Jack Show because his song is so hot. He was cool and all, but I was really intrigued by his mom manager.

She had blue hair and that means she would make a great guest on the program.

The event I had gone to was to introduce the new Epic Records roster of rap stars. Ca$h Out, Uncle Murda, Fresco Kayne and King Louie from Chicago.

The super bonus was meeting Andrew Barber for the first time. Andrew runs Fake Shore Drive and he’s been an interconnected network for a long time.

The 24-7-365 Lifestyle…

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.

Southpaw Supreme…

June 20th, 2012

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
