Kobe Does GQ Mag Spread

I like this shoot, good to see Mr. Bryant getting his Euro look on.
Can't lie, I look @ some of these pics and instictively think House of Pain - Jump Around ... lol

Play Cloths x Triple F.A.T. Goose

One of my close homies, Mc Sir Lancelot & I were talking about my Canada Goose Chilliwack winter coat, & if he should get one this late in the game. I was telling him I like mine, cause it doesnt have a hood & that model of Chilliwack you dont see often.
Regardless, we were thinking of other brand jackets to cop, like a Penfield or Moncler, but nothing stuck.
*Voila*This jacket is well dope, & is a collabo from 1 timeless brand that makes coats FOR ARCTIC TEMPERATURE & the other whos upcoming line is looking better as time passes. I'd cop if I could.

Michael Jackson - This Is It

Love this song.
Video for this timeless joint directed by Spike Lee.

Long Live the King.

Andrew Ferguson, doing what he does best.
STYLE.
I was fortunate to enjoy his "Exhibit of Styles" showcase @ Camera Lounge earlier this month with my dudes Breazie & Mayor Corwin Miller.
I was blown away by the video coupled by mannequins draped in his outfits from the vid.
Enjoy.

All I Want For Xmas... Adidas Originals Edition

I stay greedy, so I want alot of things.
I want 100% in my Marketing Course. I would relish the oppurtunity to travel to Italy or Spain...tomorrow. I would love to put her personality, with her face, on her body. Unless you're rich or practice skin grafting, not all of these are instantly attainable.
Neither is this Shoe Crack, as these Adidas Originals Highrise Sneakers are to be released in Early 2010. Retailing for approx $80, this is to be one of Adidas' more premium releases, using materials such as fine leather & suede.
Mr. King would like the Grey or Red please, thanks.

Royce 5'9" - Shake This (Prod by DJ Premier)

Where was I when this video was released? Why doesnt heat like this ever get played???
I think this is lyrical mastery.

While you're at it... go out and buy Royce 5'9" - Street Hop

Raekwon - Pyrex Vision

Sixth video & among my Top 3 joint on the OB4CL2.
The New Wu
Walk With Me
Have Mercy
Catalina
Surigical Gloves
Pyrex Vision
Artists really going hard on promotion that can go viral, with most making several videos per album, regardless how large or small the budget.

I...uh...really like this video.

"All I Need Is Money & Guns"

The kid really says that. Money & Guns. I'm still shaking my head. Check the video for the latest craze for your local gangster. It's called cyber banging; and everybody doing it.
Thanks a lot Smack DVD.

Stuck In The Villanous 2000s

I'm in love with this joint. I'm rediscovering the masterful work that is Madvillian.

Thank You HipHopDX for your Top 10 Albums of The Decade.

You're Guess As Good As Mine

Somebody point me in the right direction with this one.
I'm lost.

Combat Jack x The Clipse

My Brooklyn dude Combat Jack (@Combat_Jack) got a chance to do an interview with the Brothers Thornton & play some word association games.
Just cause you see bloggers havin' fun, doesnt mean they arent working.
Peep the response/pause when asked about 50 Cent's BISD album.

Fat Shout to The Daily Mathematics.

Throwback Thursday: Comparitive Hieroglyphics

Above is the original to the Hieroglyphics joint "Make Your Move". I love this piece featuring Goapele, who to me is the new school Sade(I'm sure someone got offended by that one).
The original above, & remix found below produced by 9th Wonder (aka 9thmatic) are both tight, but which beat do you like better?Finally... just because I like these dudes, lets add prob their biggest record to date, "You'll Never Know".Peep the TDot shout out @ 3:00 mark.
Enjoy you bastards.

Today's Special...Impromptu

I...can't...beleive...this.
After the smuggled midgets hopped out her pants, my reaction was similar to that below...

Pharrell x Moncler

New collab featuring Pharrell x Moncler.
N*gga looks like the Alphabet Boys.... would you cop this Moncler Vest?

Chris Bosh Does Documentaries

So here is a movie/short film that Chris Bosh is putting out... in 2 days.
I aint hear about it until now, why?
"First Ink follows NBA all-star Chris Bosh as he trains, relaxes & makes life changing decisions during one of the most important off-seasons of his career. To be released in November 2009, this film reveals a previously unseen side of Chris, & the professional athlete."
Regardless, I hope it does well & I'll be sure to check 4 it.

GO TORONTO.

Throwback Thursday....On Sunday.(Hampster Wheel)

If you stare long enough, you can see the lil guy in the cage making the wheels turn in my mind. The catalysts are:
1. Hayes from Detroit recently signed to Aftermath by Dre & Timbaland(?I dont know how that works either?). He has written on Detox & they boost the hell out of his storytellin' abilities.

2. Outkast's Big Boi recently commented on his album, Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty will be coming out shortly, as well as an Andre 3000 album, perhaps followed by an Outkast album. Oooweee.

This joint is one of my favs from one of my fav albums.
Thought process complete.
Enjoy.

All I Want For Xmas... Supra Vaider Edition

So those of you who know me, know I got a thing for Kicks & Wristpieces. Those 2 types of items amongst others would def make my wishlist.
You know...the wishlist I've made every year since I was 4 that never even remotely came into fruitition? Yea that one...sigh.
Being the month of December now, with snow politely creeping its way into our weather forecasts, I'm starting to feel the Christmas spirit, or I'm just feeling the December shopping bug that licks me every year.

Without further adieu, here is item #1, The Vaider, made by Supra. Shown below is the Black Gunny TUF *my fav*, Black Grey Blue Leather, Black Red Suede and classic Black Suede (not pictured).Available in Toronto at:

Pharrell x Louboutin

SO here's Pharrell in some unreleased Christian Louboutin Freddy Flat "Las Vegas" shoes.
I uhhh...dont cosign those, I dont care how much they cost (approx $1200). He must have signed a deal with these guys, because he was recently spotted wearing another joint from Louboutins' Spring/Summer 2010 mens shoe collection, as seen below.

Throwback Thursday: O.C. & A.G.

O.C. & A.G. from the legendary D.I.T.C. crew released a joint album on Nov. 24 2009, so it's only right we feature 'em on Throwback Thursday.

In the line there will be t-shirts bags and weaters featuring autographs, album cover art, as well as BAPE customized Beatles designs.

Throwback Thursday: Kelis

I'm on my Kelis ish right today, & she got some videos that are a lil out there. Kalidescope gave birth to the woman's anthem "Caught Out There", which was a platoon of madwomen parading around the streets after they men probably played 'em like xBox.
On a totally different vibe is the video above is called "Millionaire" featuring Andre 3Stacks. Been a fan of this video, for the same reason I like CRS's vid for "Us Placers".
Below is on a more eerie tip, so take in the "Get Along With You" vid. No kids in this one, just Tim Burton type animation.
"Dont ask bout the loud screaming chick w/ the hair..."

Snoop D-O Double G @ NYSE

Here's Snoop Dogg opening up the New York Strock Exchange this morning.
Unbelievable.

Music Monday ft. k-Os & The Clipse

Above is the new video for k-Os ft. Saukrates - "I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman". It's clear Sauks woke up early '09 & decided he was making a significant impact this year. Huge fan of him & k-Os.
Good look on Babel, he stays making cameos.
Shouts to all things Homegrown.Virginia Beach wordsmiths The Clipse decided they needed a New York record, & sought after King Joffe Joe to lace they track: "Popular Demand(aka Popeyes)". Having requested Cam'ron's prescence on a track before & being denied, (2003s "Grindin"), it's good to see them finally collab & get it in.
"Til The Casket Drops" In stores December 8th.

Drake & Colin Munroe - Runaway Girl

The Goodfolks @ Kamakacci wanna deliever some hometown heat, featuring Mr. Man of '09, Drizzy Drake Rogers & Colin Munroe, Runaway Girl. I'm into the beat, they ride it nice, (||)!!

Damn.

Sammy say it aint so...

Throwback Thursday: Diddy Bop

This post is about Diddy. How many all Diddy songs could i possibly post? Not being down with the shiny suits, I went hard (||) & piggybacked off Nas for this Hate Me Now joint.
I say that to say this, & introduce the new... Below is Dirty Money (aka Diddy, aka Limelight Theif w/ back up singer & dancers) with their new single "Love Come Down".
The Mr. Carter sample is muuuurderous.
Enjoy the video HERE, peasants.

Moncler Gamme Bleu Jacket

Blowing the dust off it, we previously featured the Moncler Gamme Bleu 2009 Fall/Winter Collection.
W.Game was geeked about the jackets, then shown in White on Black & an animated AshGrey. This colourway tho, W.Game was rambling about how its something else... I remember him saying something ridiculous like its exagerated casual class.
He was feeling himself that day. Here's Singer & Songwriter Sean Garrett borrowing W.Game's jacket to go to this year's Soul Train Movie Awards.
I heard that this guy & Lance Gross went shopping for this event to purchase lip balm, briefs & boots together. Questionable behaviour, but nevertheless check Lance's post here below to decide who made off better with they kick game.This post is brought to you by Killa Lipstick by Way of Wild.A.Game.

DJ Spoonz - "Evolution of The Blueprint"

The first installment of the DJ Spoonz “What We Talkin’ About” Mixtape is here! Of course it’s only right, that he start it off with an artist he’s grown to love and who made a significant impact this year. So significant, he wins MVP @ the BET Hip Hop Honours Award Show. I’m sure by the name of it most of you know who I am talking bout. Evolution of the Blueprint is a combination of some of the biggest hits from the 3 Blueprint albums as well as clips from various Jay-Z interviews. This is definitely not your average Mixtape, but a younger DJ trying to approach the mixtape scene differently.
