dip like a lo lo, with my verbal fo fo….

I played against Davin White when he was a sophomore and I was a senior in high school. Dude had a mean hands up and a cool jumper. I’m glad he made it to the Suns, dude works hard and deserves it.

$imon Bentley…this site is the definition of potential.

$58 for Kaws pillows is a super good look. I grabbed one.

Killer Mikes I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind is the best mixtape in the streets right now. DownloadPick it up and pick up 2005s, The Killer as well.

Air Max 90, 95, and 97s x 360 are such a good look. This is going to be an expensive weekend for sneaker fiends all over the country. Between 2 pairs of the Jordan 5s and the 3 pair of sneakers I mentioned above…UGH!!!

Pictures from the HUF/Diamond/Brown Babies party are way official. The fact that there is a sense of “unity” amongst all of these stores and brands is a good look for everyone involved. None of the boutiques have opened in D.C. yet and there is alrady animosity, mud slinging, and side taking.

WHY NOT MOTHERF-CKER!!

Even though he pretty much sucks in the NBA, Carlos Arroyo is a good look for Puetro Rican fans to get interested in the NBA. I see you Stu Jackson.

I’m 26 homie so is the dubs…

Apartment Therapy

I’m not sure if we’re going to be able to comepte but Hampton University plays Univ. of MD Nov. 7th @ the Comcast Center. Don’t sleep on the squad just because we are from the MEAC - ask Jamal Tinsley.

Vegetate Wednesdays are a good look. The food is beyond ill and the atmosphere is very nice. I might fall through just to check it out aka network and open from 5-7.

Catchdubs is on his grizzly something serious.

BALTIMORE!!!

OK seriously….a 14 megapixel camera? Are you looking for water on the sun?

Cmon NYC….a ban on restaurant trans fats? Whats that about?

Sleepy Brown speaks on his album??, production work, and the bs of working with major labels.

This old, yet solid, Gino Iannucci interview is an excellent read.

homies in new york know how to throw up the westside…

New Camp Lo ahh…

And in the fine art section of your life…this Evan Hecox print is a solid pickup for your apt/loft/room. I have been a fan of dudes work since he was commissioned by Chocolate. Solid pickup to start the fall.

The Return of Ironman [via Dork Mag]

Early pictures (scroll down) of the Nike P-Rod 2 have them looking kinda fresh. The blk/gold combo always wins.

I’m not really in the area as much as I used to be, but is Adams Morgan getting thtat bad?

Dude is much more than a Just Blaze sample…..learn about Weldon Irvine.

Weezy F does own epidsode of cribs….I can’t understand what the hell hes talking about.

i’m leaving, please believe it, me and my heathens….

Holla @ Dallas over @ XXL this week has dropped two very solid posts…dude is doing big things (and for real, if you drop that BTY link that’d be EXCELLENT).

SF Heads: Is Pier 7 back?

Oh and by the way: F-ck EL Toro…

Pictures of Lupe from his show on Tuesday night in the Chi [first spotted @ Spine].

I purchased this edition of Mass Appeal for the graf articles, but the Young Jeezy interview featuring the “new and improved” Jeezy is an interesting, if not hiding interview. Is Jeezy not wearing jewelry due to growing up or baby mama issues?

When your invitation to a party is a skate deck you are definitely playing the right game. Fader want to send me that deck?

A Mr. Kim x Heron Preston interview??? Man talk about young dudes who get it in real big and have the streetwear scene on lock - excellent read and pictures people.

Vans x 1992 Skate His are on the way to the house people.

I have somewhat of an acessories fetish (watches, wallets,) and this Stussy wallet is another addition to the collection.

Speak on it:

People how is the new site compared to the other one? Design? Content? Comment on it all people so we can deliver the best to you. Music is coming just been working on my own, so eff promoting other peoples (sike I just don’t wanna get harassed to much).

Did u cop Lupe? Even if you don’t like dude, you should purchase just to support “better” hip hop than whats been droppin all year.

I can’t front though, that Diddy and Nicole Schrezinger is a club banger.

Friday:

money I’m earning cuz I’m still learning that the world will keep spinnin, turntables keep turnin….

Speak on us James, why don’t ya???

This Obey hoodie is already in my closet yatches, therefore you are LATE!!

DeadStock Mag…I met the owner/writer, etc. of this online publication this weekend @ the Rock N Roll Hotel and we chopped it. We then got up again on Sunday night @ Sneaker Pimps in Baltimore. Good dude and that site is redic.

Buy.Serato.Now:

Kid Sister “Damn Girl” (prod by DJ A Trak) over @ her myspace…

Is GrailStatus the same as the next Hypebeast?

I don’t really care what it is but any NBA news or coverage is good. Training camp is less than a month away folks, lets go people!!

SGV got it poppin labor day weekend and at ASR/Agenda show in SD. Don’t sleep on SGV, they get it in.

Follow Jesse Lee/Dunfrequency as he gets it in at Magic in Vegas…

My main man (and fellow sneaker dude) Dallas is doing it VERY F-CKIN BIG….thats what it is right there.

Stickers coming next week….Stefan get @ me!!

I was married to a state of mind and divorced it….

We’re doin it people!!! Check OBESE Skateboards for a “Boring Sunday Afternoon” clip. As soon as I get the link, it’ll be up here!!!

oh sh-t: SMARTENUP NAS!!!

BALLLINNN!!!

Its always good to get a look at how it is to be one of those athletes who made it. On the Road w/the Class of 2006 is a great look at the early NBA lives of soon to be rookies.

Shout to Cosmo Baker for sending me his latest CD, Love Break 2. I’m gonna save the review for the majority of Mondays post (oh sh-t the sample for Dillas “when I was bad” just came on). Yea Monday will be a thorough break down - I’m not burning copies or making yousendits/sendspaces… COP THE LOVE BREAK 2 HERE NOW!!

MIGHTY HEALTHY PARTY IN NYC TONIGHT:

Man I just want to open a party with my 30 minute soul set and I’d be good (wink wink hint hint).

Jeff Staple breaks down the opening of the Reed Space Japan for the sneaker heads out there. Dude has turned hiss love of sneaks into a impressive force in the design/sneaks/marketing world. I’m watching.

Dude is a hustler homie…

Chad Tim Tim:

i don’t regret what I say, cuz I know what I spit

Its crazy that its been 10 years since Tupac died. In honor/celebration of the day nothing but Pac on the iPod today with these songs on uber-reapeat:

Pain
It Aint Easy
Straight Ballin
Death Around the Corner
Definition of a Thug N-gga
Picture Me Rollin
Bomb First
The whole Me Vs the World album

Dallas Penn calls me out on the illness of his Air Max 90s….do I smell battle? Let me break out….sike, Dallas will prob smash me when it comes to sneaks. I’ve been slippin, pickin up Js and real general stuff. I’m not gonna lie after these Grape 5s drop I’m chillin til X Mas. January ‘07 might be the most expensive sneaker month of my life.

The new Girl Skateboards site is official. There are some must have and must cops on there. My personal style is actually moving away from the streetwear and closer to “skatewear”. Weird.

New ipods, iTunes, iTV, iJesus, and iskateboards from Apple. They pretty much run this rap music/tv/comp sh-t. PCs are cool, no doubt, but that apple is a solid deal. I am gonna grab an old shuffle right now, for cheap if they are still on the apple website.

Larry from Commonwealth is in town and I’m gonna see if he’ll let me take some pictures of the inside of the store and post em here.

Speaking of Commonwealth, they have 10 Deep Chain Gang Hoodies in stock now, but they’ll probably be out of stock before Wednesday is over.

Charles Barkleys keeping-it-realisms have made him a media favorite? So people actually enjoy his attitude now?

Get your (album) rape on.

Jimmy Cozier is back?

y’all get shot at, homie I do the shooting

Shout to Larry from Commonwealth for the hat. I’ll be posting up more photos from Adams Morgan Day that jumped off later today.

Also check Commonwealths website to peep the gear they have from a renowned NYC skate brand.

Jerry Hsu is an ill skater. Read his Vice Mag leftover interview and find out what its like to be on tour, to be d-cked over by distributors, and the importance of good pictures w/your girlfriends.

Swizz Beatz (the Monster) is a partner in Kid Robot? Thats a hellified business move. That place is on my list of spots to hit in NYC next to the New Era store and Alife. Anyhow the read is solid so check how my homestate of AZ is helping get his artists mind right.

Y’all already know between Dilla, my moms, and my not having enough DJ & production gigs (yet) that I read Dwell all day. Peep this months set of Dwellings and in particular my favorite, the dwellings in Dallas are like that. Time for the extra grind.

A-Ron and aNYthing did the damn thing again….i think they are a movement people.

The Black Weblog Awards were announced last week and congrats to all the winners. We’ll prob never win anything, which is fine, but respect to all of those who did.

Get more of the lowdown on what happened at ASR here and here. What exactly was Bishop Don hustling there?

Get the low down on skate legend Sal Barbiers new shop, SLB and how tricky it is to run a retail business in todays fickle and unstable market.

Yo-Yo Black Pearl

So as the housing market forecast continues to worsen and people ask for money they are not going to receive this will delay my entry into the world of homeownership and buying a lawnmower - fine by me, cuz I’m looking for a loft (not a converted 2 bedroom apt into a condo) to get my grown up thizzle on.

Anyone know if this Lomo Fish Eye Lens Camera is any good? I think it’d be a dope addition to my current camera stable.

According to killer camel what happens in Vegas ends up all over the internet…

DangerMouse x Banksy…been a tough few weeks for Paris.
