*****UPDATE******

Here's the original....

Sole Sunday...

"Air Force Jordan's? Man, I never fuck with Nike now..." -Dom Kennedy

slated for a March 2010 release, the Air Jordan Fusion 8's are the latest in the Fusion collection... I'll say without hesitation that this is my 2nd favorites from the Fusion collection. My 1st? The black Fusion 12 (which are the only Fusions I own personally). If you dig these, you'll have to wait until March & be ready to shovel out $140... your thoughts?!






"Til the Foamposite Penny's come back, I'll be waitin" -Dom Kennedy

Wait not longer... well, only about 3 more months... they'll be here in Feb.

Converse announces the Terence Koh for Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists Chuck Taylor All Star.

Enlisted as a contributor to the 1HUND(RED) project, Koh's approach to the design of his shoe focused on subtraction. "I wanted to keep the DNA of the Chuck Taylor intact, while reducing the seams, and smoothing out the shoe's surfaces as much as possible". Terence replaced the usual curve of the ankle with a vertical construction to give the shoe a clean square look. A smoothed-out version of the signature Converse tread on the sole combines with a white on white All Star rubber license plate on the heel to round out the ultra-clean look and feel of the shoe. As a contributor to 1HUND(RED), a percentage of the net wholesale price of the shoe will go to help fight AIDS in Africa, giving consumers an opportunity to become agents of change and offering a way to turn design into power.

The Terence Koh for Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists Chuck Taylor All Star is available in a high-top, premium white leather version. The shoe launches globally on Saturday November 21st and will be available in the US at Opening Ceremony (www.openingceremony.com) in New York and Los Angeles and select retailers globally. Shoes will retail for $150 and will be available in sizes 7 - 13.

Sole Sunday....

DC join the ranks of trad-sports brands steering away from athletic/performance/skate and into the world of fashion with their Wings And Stones pack. So named because of the wing-tip inspired brogue pattern on the upper of both the Admiral and Sector 7, both shoes are double-dipped in a cement colourway and given a brushed suede once-over. Available from all good DC retailers.

Done up with a classic wing tip toe for a touch of luxury, introducing the Sector 7 WT and Admiral WT of the Holiday 2009 DC LIFE Collection. Built on DC's slim and comfortable dress sneaker outsole, filling the uppers are premium leathers and construction, a trademark of DC. The incorporation of cement and concrete colors, a staple element in skateboarding, runs as a key design thematic, and the honed stone effect on the collar and straps represent what ledges look like after they've been grinded. A unique double ankle strap-a first for DC-adds flare and class for days on the high top Admiral WT






When did brown become all the rage? We're not sure if you remember, but there was a time, not too long ago, when most of us sneaker heads wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of pookicks. Now look at us! We can't get enough of the earth-tone wonders. Dunk.com.cn threw these Nike Air Zoom Toki trainers online today and the blogs went ballistic. From the ultra simplistic upper to the perforated Swoosh tick, it's the brash brown piping that seals the deal on these fudge packers. No release date as yet.

I need that girl...

So, a while back I posted the "too much swag" video from Ocean's 7... well, they're at it again!! now, with a video for "I need that girl". I know what you're thinkin... yeah, it's taking too long for them to drop these vids & they are few & far in between... well, it would be kinda hard to get 7 of the hardest workin men in the biz together in one spot... anyway, here it is!!

Curly Tops & Nautica Jackets...

PLEASE pay attention to the names of the artists on this song... SERIOUSLY... that's all I'm gonna say about that! this will NOT be the last time you heard the fellas... get familiar!!

Worst Enemy...

So, Gucci Mane dropped his "worst enemy" video... & needless to say, it's interesting. I'm feeling it. My predictions for this album is... he finally gets the respect he deserves!! I've been rockin' with Gucci Mane since before "SO Icey" so I know this dude's hustle... I wish him MUCH SUCCESS!! He more than deserves it!!

Whiskey Foxtrot Tango (WTF?!)

So, after a GREAT weekend of PLENTY of liquor & hanging with the twit fam,
Shoutout to
Brandi
Croon
Stacia
Samoan
The Wifey & anybody else that participated in the random "fuckery" that was this past weekend.... anyway... I HATE to end a GREAT weekend with some Tomfoolery on Monday morning... but here goes.....


No, this little girl did NOT just win $1,000 playing musical chairs at the county fair.. Plies paid her $1,000 to LEAVE his concert... yes, I said LEAVE!! very commendable of Plies (even though she prolly knows all the words to "Becky" and "Bust it Baby"). But, who let her in... & where the hell is her folks?!?!?! *sigh* we GOT TO DO BETTER!!!!

ON TO THE NEXT ONE!!



Seriously?! I have NO words for this... *DEAD*

I honestly thought this was a picture of the shoes Marcus Jordan wore in his first game at UCF LOL... I'm not a big fan of that dude right now... shut up & put on the Adidas... seriously... you're a walk-on... it's not like you matter anyway....

GREATEST movie of all time....

on a REALLY random tip... this is by far my favorite movie of ALL time!!!



#dontjudgeme

I broke my left wrist, right arm & BOTH ankles attempting stunts from this movie... #TRUESTORY


Simon O'Brien really makes me wanna buy another bike...



Denzel Stein is SIIIIIIIIIICK!!!

DIZ GIBRAN ft. BJ THE CHICAGO KID - "Truly Yours"

Watch Your Mouf...

my favorite FLY girl Teyana Taylor has launched a lip gloss line called "Dope Lips"... not a big fan of the name... but, I'm definitely a fan of her hustle. She's really a far cry from the 16 year old tom boy we all saw on "My Super Sweet 16" a few years back... this is a good look.

#random: whatever happened to Saaphyri's lip gloss line... #KanyeShrug

No Lil Mama?!

Jay Z & Alicia Lewis... I mean Alicia Keys performed "Empire State of Mind" last night at game 2 of the World Series... must have given the Yanks that extra umph they needed as they beat the Phillies 3-1 (I think). The Braves aren't playing... so it doesn't mean much to me. I'm just kind of upset about Lil Mama not being invited... can we say #shady?! LOL

SERIOUSLY???

A STACK... HOLDIN!!

I've completely been WAAAY outside of my normal box lately & I've been on a lot of up & coming artists that are definitely destined to blow up... Dom Kennedy, Pac Div... & now Carter... I've only heard a few of his songs... but the few that I've heard are DOPE!! this $1,000 fit song kind of puts you in the mine of Kia Shine's "Krispy" but with much better lyrical content... #shoutout to Kia Shine & Kinfolk! CHECK IT OUT!!

ok, so it's not the real remix... but whoever did this blend did a GREAT job... iDig it!!





on another random remix tip... here's "Money To Blow" not remix.. but mix... it's dope with Kid Cudi, Wiz Khalifa & Lil Wayne

Sneaker Heads.... Check IN!!

So, now that MJ is an OFFICIAL Hall Of Famer now... I guess it's safe to say that he can do what he wants!! Like drop this new Jordan L'Style

At first glance the Jordan L’Style looks like a regular high-end fashionista boot, but on closer inspection, you get some idea the silhouette was actually initiated as a result of Michael Jordan’s love of motorcycling. A compromise from the hefty, steel-toed leather boots usually seen on race riders, the L’Style bundles all the needed protection while on road and infuses it with the all-important Jordan Air comfort support. Leave your laces at home, as the entire upper is strung together with an intricate system of Velcro straps to keep you from tripping off that mono! Get yours at Extra Butter.

CONTINUED....

This honestly just may be a continuation of the last post... i figured Bow would jump on one of those old Cash Money beats... good choice!

Yung Money let's get it!!!

aight, I'm back: get your panties out of a wad... I didn't leave. straight to business: the other day Lambo Moss aka Bow Wow announced his new label... CASH MONEY RECORDS... yes, the same record label as Big Tymers & Hot Boyz & every member of those two groups who released their own solo projects... well, he's dropped his first 2 efforts since becoming a "Cash Money Millionaire" what do YOU think?




he could have left out the "sippin syrup, smokin' weed" part... it came from a REAL place tho... iDig

WDDDA?!

WDDDA?! (Where Dey Do Dat At... for all my twit-illeterate peeps)... I usually don't disagree with too much that C. Breezy rocks... but for real Chris... the Herringbone? C'mon....

DON'T Hate!!!

This new Nike video is EPIC... Starring Velvet Hoop (the Thunder's Kevin Durant), Chief-Blocka (the 76ers Andre Iguondala), Ice-O (the Magic's Rashard Lewis), Fog Raw (the Cavs Mo Williams) and the legendary DJ Quik.





Big Ups to HOMETOWN Mo Williams... I mean Fog Raw, I see ya Mo Gotti!

Thankful

I woke up this morning not feeling so well. Nose was kinda stopped up, didn't want to go to work... just the same ol' UN-GREATFUL attitude that we as humans tend to show. I got to work & I complained about what I had to do & how little time that I had to do it in... as the clock ticked, I complained about how hungry I was & how I wanted to eat. Went to get my oil changed & complained because I have to buy a new oil pan because the bolt in the old one is stripped... I sat down and looked at the clock & realized what today's date is... it's August 13th... EXACTLY one year ago to day, one of my best friend had NO complaints... he couldn't complain. On Agust 12th 2008 my boy went to sleep.... & NEVER woke up. DEAD at the age of 23... life is TOO short people. SO, before I start complaining, I'll be thankful that I'm alive... every day above ground is a GOOD day. Much Love y'all, I'm out.



REST IN PEACE

I swear if I would have known that this was gonna be his last picture, I would have looked up...

That's how you want it?

SHOUTOUT to any man that can relate to this track!!

Random....

on a RANDOM mixtape tip... you GOTTA check out this "25th Hour" Mixtape by Dom Kennedy... he goes STOOPID hard!!!

Dear GOD,

before I show you this video, I want to say a prayer...

Dear God,
PLEASE let Drake's 2nd video be MUCH better than his first..
AMEN

My Playlist...

I've been feelin' all EXTRA cocky & shit lately... don't ask me why. For some reason, I've had the two songs stuck in my head for about the past week or so... Therefore, I feel obliged to post 'em....

Knock on WOOD....

Knock Knock
Who's There?
Nike
Nike Who?
Nike SB 7-Ply Blazer Customs

Evoking thoughts of various skateboard/skatedeck inspired releases from Nike SB in the past including a rendition by Michael Lau, Brad Douglas raises the bar to another level with his “7-Ply” Blazer customs. The detailed lasered wood grain leather also includes various grip tape hits throughout as well as truck hardware on the heel.

FUNNY!!

iSwear I just coughed up a lung.... *i'm crying laughing*



back to work for me
follw me on twitter HERE!!!

He goes HARD!!

What happens when you're so dedicated to your craft & pleasing your fans? What happens when you "skip" across stage with a torn ACL?
This:



This is an example of Drake's hard work and dedication.... GET WELL SOON... PAUSE!

THE WARNING....

ooooh, Mr. Cannon might wanna sit down after this one. Just face the facts... He had your wife WAAAY before you were in the picture... SO WHAT?!

VROOOOM!!

I've been slippin' on my dude Lambo Moss lately.... No matter what... you gotta give him his props... rap game has been stepped ALL THE WAY UP! whether he is able to make the transition from teeny bopper fans to the "more mature" crowd has yet to be decided... regardless I rocks with the dude... PAUSE.

What's the BLIZZ?!

so, it's the last day of the month & that means that i'm running like a chicken with my head cut off at work (my REAL job... not the blog. lol) but i ran across this joint today... if you like the sub-genre of rap that is kid cudi, tabi bonney, wale & the list goes on... you'll dig this kid blizz mcfly... check him out..




here's another joint called "the bomb threat"

Can't go Wrong....

just a quickie: you can't go wrong with Wayne....

BACK (pack) to school time...

Even though I don't have to do back to school shopping anymore... although sometimes I just wanna say "eff the REAL world" & go back to school, I kinda wish I could go register for a few classes.... JUST to cop these new Nike SB PacMan editions with the matching back pack... *sigh*.... I may just get it anyway (wait, that whole backpack thing went out in like '05) Sorry....

NOT again....

OK, so I GUESS Drake listened to the fans roar off about how HORRIBLE the "Best I Ever Had" video was... well, he dropped a "Director's Cut".... here it is....

Drake - Best I Ever Had - Director's Cut from kwest on Vimeo.

....still the same ol' HORRIBLE cocept to a GREAT song... let's go back to the drawing board Drizzy... Leave 'Ye at home this time... I think he slicked hated on you with this one... that's your boy I know... but you're his competition.

GET'CHA SUM!!

I'm glad that Big Sean FINALLY dropped a video for "Get'cha Sum". I can honestly say that I've NEVER seen a video that fits someone's personality as well as this video fits him... this is a good look, homie.

I dig...

I was once called "gifted"... umm... I guess I have a few "gifts". I THINK I've been called talented a few times... not sure. Well, I like the way I feel when I get compliments... so, I also like giving them. I've had the pleasure of meeting, well, not really meeting (we're actually just friends on facebook & followers of each other's blogs) one of the most talented writers/photographers I've seen. Her name is Sydni Michael (dope name, huh?). Well, I frequently make my way over to her blog Sydni Michael and admire her work... SHE'S ILL!! Her photography kinda takes me to this weird place... it almost makes me wanna get.... HIGH! check it out:

you be the judge....

not much to say about it.... think what you wanna think about it... i think it sincere... it'll all be over in a few months...

i HAD to do it....

first things first... i rocks with Rick Ross (even though he never shouts out his home state of Mississippi). But, i absolutely HAD to post this joint... i just about coughed up a lung laughing... Ricky Ross the C.O. (we've all got to make a living... ya know)... my job as a mortgage rep may not exactly be "hood", "street" or "gangsta", but it pays the bills... ya dig?!

OOOOOOOH WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

This is by far one of the DUMBEST shoes I have EVER seen (& I mean "dumb" in every GOOD sense of the word). Kris Van Assche ALWAYS delivers... I do mean ALWAYS... why would we expect something different this time??

New Music...

I'm only posting this one because Soulja Boy FINALLY recognizes his MISSISSIPPI roots in this one... & I'll be in Batesville tomorrow (where this video was shot)

We Knew It Would Happen...

Paying tribute to the King of Pop, premier vinyl specialists Hot Toys work up a new set of Michael Jackson figures, showcasing the masterful work exhibited on his famous Thriller music video. The figures will come in a 1/6 scale, featuring all the intricate details one would come to expect from a Hot Toys release. A launch is set for December 2009 with a suggestted retail price tag of ¥24,000 (Approx. $255 USD).

ALMOST FAMOUS....????

I honestly only posted this because Drake looks HALFWAY famous in this video....

Y'all know I rocks with Drizzy, but if you spotted this dude in Northpark, you'd think he was an English major at Tougaloo......




se what I mean??
Big shout out to Drizzy and the ENTIRE octobersveryown fam!!

WALK BACKWARDS

She hates to see me leave...
...But, LOVES to watch me walk away!

Lust For Life/Houstantlantavega Fan Video...

Fresh off the press from OVO comes a fan video that I think (& hate to admit) is WAY better than Drake's first visual effort (Best I Ever Had)... The concept of the Houstatlantavegas part actually fits with the video... although a bit dramatic...

Drake - Lust For Life x HoustonAtlantaVegas [mash-up video] from 5846 Productions on Vimeo.

Sponsorship....

I'm convinced that Jordan will NEVER stop making shoes... first he mixed J's with other J's, then he mixed J's with Forces... now he's mixing J's with... get this... NIKE boots... & it's definitely a GOOD look....

Thank Him Later...

I'm guessing that our favorite non-American rapper was feeling a bit generous yesterday when he posted 3 new joints from the upcoming mixtape "Heartbreak Drake pt. 2" and one from his upcoming album "Thank Me Later". I won't complain... I've been rockin with Drizzy since day ONE!
