Dope.

To launch Puma’s new lightweight Travel Golf Collection, they suspended Puma clothing, shoes and accessories from thousands of golf ball shaped balloons in Antwerp city centre and let gravity demonstrate a unique ‘Travel Light’ concept. Passers-by were encouraged to reach up and grab the featherweight products…GENIUS!!!

Currently Bumping......

When Mariah met Minaj.......


Mariah Carey ft Nicki Minaj "Up out my face"

I'm just gonna say this. Nicki Minaj is currently killing where female MC's are concerned. She's killing every joint she's featured on and I'm looking forward to what her single is going to sound like. We must've listened to that song with her and Usher in cali a million times just because I wanted to run her verse back. Dope. And Mariah.....

Thinkers Thoughts......

"Attitude is the way you mentally look at the world around you. It is how you view your environment and your future. It is the focus you develop toward life itself."

Luv.


Is the word that comes to mind.

Red Tags..........

I can only see in the dark.
Because I forget to look for you in the morning.
Maybe because the sun never has anything interesting to say.
But the night holds us both captive.
Surrounds us in stars and tells us to celebrate.
Who am I to refuse it.
To not take advantage of this moment when so many lose it.
The lost.
Drowning in chamapgne bottles.
Fuck it.
This is afterhour royalty.
Which would explain the dutches.
Escaping into the moments that define us.
Until the morning after reminds us both.
We're still human.
But I don't mind it.
Rather I fall for your imperfections.
Beautiful flaws that draw a paralell to mine.
We're on the same shit.
Every time.
Drawing lines in the sand
Even though we both know we'll cross it.
Loving the future.
Embracing the past.
Knowing that tonight will never last.
Throwing answers at the pillows.
With questions we will never ask.
Rather we should bask in the limbo.
Between the full glass and empty promises.
When we're both the most concious
and honest.
One more shot from turning you on.
And turning off my phone.
So I'm not repeating the same things.
Hoping theirs truth in what we'll soon say we ain't mean.
Enjoying that the night brings about my daydreams.
Making sure I keep it all close to my pocket.
Until I change jeans.........

Fly like planes.......

Yea, the love is still there.

For Haiti......



The thing about the human race is that no matter how many wars, disagreements or ignorance we spread on a daily basis. When tragedy strikes, we usually find the humanity to help. What happened in Haiti calls for that type of moment. My prayers go out to that Haitian people and to the friends and family members here in the states hoping their loved ones are well.

The Rolling Stones of Rap........


Jay-Z's conversation w/Interview Magazine. Here
JAY-Z: I just really love the music. Everyone who makes music is a good collaborator at their foundation because in order to make music, you have to connect to it in a way that other people can’t. Other things can get in the way, whether it’s the boxes that people put themselves in, or the feelings they might have towards a person. But those things don’t get in the way for me. To me, there shouldn’t be any lines. All these ways we classify things as R&B and hip-hop and rock . . . It’s bullshit. It’s all music. If you put yourself in that box, then you won’t be able to hear that it’s all music at its soul.

Fire.

"On fire" -Lil Wayne

When fashion met fast food......







Pictures say 1000 words......

Bad Girls Club......

From a dope writer. This is my favorite piece from her.

I like the way it feels. Fleeting.

An hour glass flips, speckled beige granules fold into one another. I like chasing it. Guilt awaits with sunrise, tonight is galactic. Toast, raise the glass. Vodka burns down my neck, warms my chest, nestles near my lungs. With each tilt, I swallow my hate for myself, who I’ve become, and exactly what I am about to do. Eventually, I can’t breathe, I take him into me-- greet him with my face, lead him to the front door, revolve around the back door and any other place in between he can call home. His hands squeeze my limp body loosely enough to siphon air to my lungs, I suffocate into him. I remain. I punish myself. I poison myself. I never feel more alive than being in arm’s reach of death. Cold. Dank. Pitiful. Alive. As if sometimes, the only reason I still have a purpose on this Earth is to awake from a drug-laced rough sex splendor, the smells of salmon and olive flavored vomit, and the crisp chill of checkered linoleum floor.

I was HIV free and my organs hadn’t shut down, God must love me.

On that next shit.......

Jay-Z "On to the next one"

Dope. Am I the only one that feels like they just watched that tape from "The Ring"

So that was 09........


This is 2010.

2009 was an incredible year. Their was so many things that I wanted to accomplish last year and lucky me, most of them came to fruition. In some ways 09 felt like a beautiful ass blur, fueled on energy drinks and vodka shots. Somewhere between two mixtape, two music videos and URB Magazine placing me in their 09 Next 100 issue I found my voice. This year, summarizing this decade, has been a growing one. It has been one of both cocnfusion and discovery. Realizing who you are and what you want out of life is a beautiful thing and I hope we all found that this time around. I admit, I'm still growing, I don't plan on that part ending any time soon, but I feel like I'm headed in the right direction. I just want to say thank you to each and every person on this journey with me. I know its a long ass road, and we don't have GPS and gas is high, lol. To All the new characters in this television show of a life and the permanant cast still around after season 9. Thank you. I'm excited for season 10, because I have a feeling that this year, this decade, are going to be incredible. With -Purple- in the works, I'm hoping to capture this never ending journey we've all been on. The music I'm making now, just feels good, and I can't wait for you guys to hear it. I have so many things I want to accomplish this year, and I know I will. Ambition is a hell of a drug. I'm not going to say that 2010 is "our year" because honestly I feel like every year is our year. We just have to be brave enough to claim them. So let's claim this one out the gate. We know what we're capable of. This decade belongs to us, now let's see what we do with it.

Much Luv x Respect. 2 Fingers.

6 years of inspirement......



Let's run this back. Too around 2003, I was in my junior year of Highschool, still rocking the throwback jerseys and the gerbaud strap jeans. I had cut the fro off by then and anything that the ROC touched back then was fire. I remember when "Through the wire" came out and I thought it was one of the dopest records I heard, from the way the music was sampled to the rhymes themselves. For me, Jay will always be the greatest MC, but for a decade now I've been more inspired by Kanye. For better or worse, College Dropout changed the face of Hip Hop, from what the culture was wearing to what we were talking about. The album was honest, it was fun, it was catchy. It sounded both fresh yet classic at the same time, and suddenly their were soul samples in all of my beats. The genious of the album was that it offered something to any and everyone. It was pure passion, ambition, and creativity, and inspired the rest of us to pursue those same goals. TO ME, Kanye has always been one of the dopest in the realms of modern artisty, lol yea.....all that. Late Registration helped me see the light after my first huge relationship, Graduation was the perfect soundtrack to my own pursuits of proving myself as an artist of worth. 808's and Heartbreaks caught me dead in between the transition from losing the love of my life to coming into my own. Every time, after listening to a Ye album, I found myself inspired and feeling better than I had. Isn't the basic goal of this music that we make, to inspire people and to make them feel something. To always strive to make the best music that you can and to open people up to the thoughts and emotions we all have inside of us. To connect. That's what College Dropout did, and that's what Kanye has always done. Connect.
Thanks for the inspiration.




What you have........
