I myself don't drink often but when i do a glass of henny always goes down smoothly Kanye must think so too because he was chugging on that bottle maybe that explains his outburst yesterday.

Rude Boy: Get That Ska Look

2009-09-14T16:40:00.014-06:00

So lately i've been noticing that the Ska look is gaining momentum which is fine by me. Ska first originated as a hybrid of reggae jazz and r&b. Along with the slew of banging jams Ska also brought along a fresh new style. Mainly consisting of selvedge denim cuffed intricately along with fitted bombers and quirky nerd specs the heads noticed. Lets have a look at at how you too can pat down the Signature Look.

Moscot nebb glasses anything will do really but Moscot always puts quality before anything.

Fluevog Suede Steps are dope enough said.
Nah son you ain't as fly as a pilot and you don't drive a motorbike but you can still rock this Ben Sherman bomber.
If you're going for the Ska look you need to re-up on button ups and you cant go wrong with Wings & Horns.
Wings & Horns is quickly gaining notoriety with quality made garments the Canadian handcrafters kill it with there double pocket cardigan.

A.P.C Standard Fit: The Original Selvedge brand the offers up the perfect denim to keep the Ska look fresh.

Kanye Murking This Rap Game

2009-07-30T21:42:00.001-06:00

Who Did Kanye body Worse?

Kanye West, GOAT Rapper? Believe it or not kanye has been bodying everyone on their own tracks. After the experimental detour that was 808s Kanye’s rapping has been unflawed everything from the flow to the schematics of his rhyme pattern. On “Kinda like a Big deal” he destroys the Clipse and its not even close. This is no small feat seeing as the Clipse are the kings of Coke-rap to bring more bravado and outshine the brother Thorntons, it cements Kanye into the upper echelon of rappers. That’s not even taking into consideration his most recent work where he shits on Hov. Kanye Once rapped “On that diamonds remix I thought I spazzed /till big brother came through and kicked my ass” But this is definitely his redemption. Not saying Hov was wack or anything but he certainly couldn’t keep up with kanye’s energy. Where Hov laments about the pitfalls of being a highroller, Kanye exercises the braggadocio we love “ what the fuck you think I rap for/ to push a fucking rav 4” where Jay-Z is cool and collective kanye is pure energy and witty persepective. This isn’t even getting into all the other tracks Kanye has murked as of late Tracks like “Alright” and “Flight School” in which you actually forget that Kanye is Just a Feature. Now the Question isn’t if Kanye Bodied ?just who did he body harder?
Take a listen and decide.

Anyways Asic decided to do a collaboration with Sanrio and ta daaaa created these kicks right here. Now i wouldn't necessarily rock these kicks but I'm posting them up as an ode to my childhood.

Visvim FBT Lhamo Folk El

2009-07-19T21:12:00.003-06:00

What can i say Visvim is basically killing it on every frontier when it comes to kicks. Yes the kicks are pricey but the level of detail is simply astounding and doesn't quality > quantity. The FBT is a favourite so its only right Visvim release four classic colourways of the model.

What You didn't Know!

2009-07-19T20:43:00.003-06:00

False is a staple among real heads, but recently their brand has seen their global presence skyrocket. Their intensive hand screen process on all tees is widely renowned and their witty play on current fashion is executed masterfully in their "better off dead collection". In an over saturated market False stands head and shoulders above the competition. Creative director Le Messie has continued to evolve the brand moving it away from the mixed media, to more mature and minimalist graphic design and then back again to a mix of all of the above. So if you didn't know now you do

I thought i was a consumerist whore but homie right here takes the cake. That is the Play Cloths logo tatted on his abdomen. Either this young man was heavily inebriated or he is straight off his rocker He didn't even get the small jack logo like on the polos, he went all out and got the XXL jack on himself. Hit that man with some tee’s, TTCD bootleg or something… dude is crazy

Colette X Timberland

2009-07-16T22:36:00.006-06:00

Funny that I just came across these today. Earlier on I was reading this blog post by Combat jack in which he stated that timberlands are dead . All of us here completely agreed with the sentiment. They've been dead for awhile now. Now now I must confess that back in High school i rocked a pair of Timbs , I must've been one of the few girls in our school who did, but rock em' I did. Maybe it's because I suffer a bit from Napoleon Complex but Timbs always had a way of making me feel empowered. I was a definite empowered GEEk with my Timbs on. Eventually I grew out of that phase and timbs for me personally have remained buried ever since. Now today I came across these. As we all know Colette is one of the top of line street wear brands out there and they have decided to do a collabo with Timbs. the boots come in your typical beige timberland colour accented with blue and are tagged with Collette on the tongue. So I must ask " Is colette the defibrillator that timberland needs? What do you think ?

FAIYATORIKKUBOBU - Jet Power Bike

2009-07-16T22:00:00.003-06:00

The other day we were talking about whether we would trade our whips in for bikes. Alex(Young Haiti) was pretty vocal and adamant that if he had a cool enough bike he would get rid of his whip ( but it might've been the coronas speaking). I hardly believe that when the weather would be 30 below that he would be riding his bike. Anyways this post does have a point, I came across this super cool JET POWER BIKE designed by the Japanese Company Rintendo which even has 4,4 HP and get this it even features one litre of JET FUEL mofo JET FUEL. It's a pretty fresh bike and it can be all yours for a cool 10,000 beans (usd)

2009-07-08T22:54:00.004-06:00

I have on occasion proclaimed the death of Stussy with their recent collections being stale and Stussy seemingly being the go to gear for lames. However one can never count out the originators of streetwear and here Stussy comes correct with their Wayback Throwback set. So while Stussy may not be the creative powerhouse they once were they obviously have life in them yet.

Acne is one of those clothing companies that consistently delivers great styles of clothing season after season and their Spring 2010 comes through once again. With this collection they are pushing the envelope in trend-setting (mind you not everyone can pull all these looks off) but they also manage to showcase a variety of basics too. From slouchy trousers to waistcoats to t-shirts there's something for all the true sartorialists out there. Ohhh and check out the sneakers too , might I say they're looking pretty fresh to me.

The Sound Of (My) Summer (Part I)

2009-07-03T11:42:00.029-06:00

It has thus far been a loud summer with so much going on Jay. Z killed autotune, T-pain bought a big ass chain. Jeezy used to pay Kobe but now he pay Lebron, Drizzy Drake Rogers ; "Best I ever Had” gets played 15 times a day on stations and is driving me mad, Pruane and 50 are bff’s while the Game is trying to be 50 bff again. Dear Lawd !! Anyways if your like me and needing an escape I suggest you read on! I always find music to be my release my escape, my source for inspiration and motivation and when summer rolls around my car is sure to be blaring at deafening decibels usually to drown out the cacophony that is produced by city traffic( It relieves my road rage) and during the recent months I have come across some great music that eclipses the rest of the f***ery that happens in hip-hop. So here’s a few artists that you should definitely not be sleeping on and if you are I’m about to wake you the f*** Up!!!

Dom Kennedy
Last month I definitely had Dom Kennedy in heavy rotation. The leimert park native proves to be a contender in resuscitating west coast rap. He contains all the ingredients that make his music really pop off. To me personally west coast music is just a feeling. When I listen to it, I picture myself; car cruising On the PCH, making me want to light up a J even though I don't smoke(chronic asthma) and Dom’s music has a way to make me feel this way. His laid back beats match with his flow and style. His latest mixtape which we posted on here awhile back Futurestreet/Drugsounds was cosigned by The Hundreds which speaks volumes in itself. I’ve posted some of my favourite joints , take a listen

WALE (not the movie)

Stand Up D.C!!!!If there’s someone who doesn’t get the recognition he deserves is definitely this guy. I remember the first song I heard from him was W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E off of his 100 miles mixtape and I thought alright alright this is good, it drew me in enough to keep a tab on his projects and what he brought next was nothing less than Dope ; his mixtape “ mixtape about nothing” received praise from the "blog world" . I remember hearing artistic integrity and thinking this guy can spit and this is what the state of hip-hop should be in. Now with his latest ‘back to the feature” produced by none other than 9th wonder I see that what WALE is definitely sick, his consistency In the game is really remarkable in this day and age.

He incorporates the sub genre of go-go flawlessly into his style.
The bass drums, snare drums, hi-hat in coordination with some conga drums there is nothing that this mixtape ain't have.

WALE

Download all mixtapes here

There are of course of a few more artists out here that you should take a listen to such as curren$y B.O.B and Wiz Khalifa, J.cole All these artists IMO are skilled emcees, but I'm saving them for Part II , so sit tight.

Young Haiti made me this playlist the other day of songs that are a bit older that we might’ve forgotten that are in our ipods anyways I thought I would add it to here. Enjoy fresh boys and girls.

Forgotten Memories

Non hip-hop alternative

Phoenix

As much as I love hip hop, I have an appreciation for most types of music because diversity is appreciation. Phoenix has been getting some rounds in the ipod and ride . They're a French rock alternative band . They came from Versailles and have been put into the same category as Daft Punk . They're really good at achieving and maintaining that analog sound. From what Ive heard they consistently make good music with vocals and melodies that will draw you in to listen to more .

2009-06-26T09:04:00.002-06:00

With Toy Story gearing to make a comeback it is only right that the people over at Nike Sb create the Buzz lightyear backpack. Often colorful combinations can get out of hand but this Eugene Backpack from Nike Skateboarding is a good balance of colors and features.
