FAMILY JEWELS POEM

In this life time got to protect the family jewels, so I hold my sack hopin GOD balances the given tools, days when I knoww we have to deal with fools, brains cloudy as fog but in the long run it'll be to late to understand the dues, no blue dog or a green shirted man here to yell out the clues, so when you see the real us I'm sorry but you have to be excused!

WELL OVER DUE

It's been about 8 - 10 Years since I bought a album from a electronic store such as Best Buy, Target, FYE.... It's been about 8 - 10 Years since I felt the satisfaction or energy to wake up early as fuck to be at the store a hour before just to get the feeling of picking up the first copy, It's been about 8 - 10 Years since I felt almost 85 - 100% LOVE for music.. Today brings back all those memories for the awaited PILOT TALK from Curren$y. Woke up @ 8 A.M. drove to Best Buy got there @ 9 A.M. ate and kicked my feet up to wait til opening hours which was 10 A.M. and seen that beautiful green album cover.... those 8 to 10 years was well worth waiting for material like this.

JEEEEEEEEETTTSSSSS NIGGAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

P.S. GO SUPPORT SPITTA PLEASE AND BUY THE ALBUM. ITS WORTH YOUR MONEY IM TELLING YOU!

INSPIRING

I was recently on The Hundreds Blog and read Bobby Hundreds This Is How We Do It post and it truly inspired me. What I'm scared, nervous, stressing, tearing up, getting angry, working 10x harder, motivated about is to get to that picture right there. I want that, I want to fight for that being able to obtain a table dealing with business and creative minds just expressing all kind of vivid ideas to supply the customer, supply them with shirts they can relate to and feel good wearing. THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO BE!

I stole this from my homegirl Taylor's blog http://vivalalo.tumblr.com/(which is a fascinating blog stop by when you get a chance) as I was saying this picture I stole from her had to be the most gorgeous picture of Aaliyah I ever seen in my life. I mean I seen pretty pictures of her but to me none can top this!

I ASK YOU POEM

Do you really respect me as a friend after all my flaws and sins? All my
mistakes that will never be corrected til the end? I ask you do you still love
me from the day I impacted yo life? Can you really see me in the future with
kids and wife? While everybody in a fantasy I just wanted a life to live, never
wanted the attention just wanted the gig, can I live? Without being so fucking
Cliche, withoutpoppin all the pills and smoking anything just to stray away! I
ask you would you love me being goofy and little old me without having to act
something that I never wanted to be? I ASK YOU....

I was about to RANT on about how talented this man was and how he's pretty much better than your favorite rapper, but that would be to cliche'.

Taking the time out to say thank you Mr. Shakur and Happy Birthday, YOU LIVE ON THROUGH ALL BLACK KIDS (MATTER FACT... SCRATCH THAT, EVERY RACE) AND YES YOU SPARKED OUR BRAINS!

PHILLIP T. ARNOLD IS "FASHION"

You ever notice how remarkably HYPED, RAPED, ABUSED, BEATEN the word FASHION is? How overwhelming it has become. It has made me anything but disappointed. People getting carried away by what they call fashion now a days I cant fathom it. But you know through every dark cloud or doubt there is a person who can switch that all around.... (OH MY THERE IS HOPE YOU SAY?!!) YES THERE IS and his name is Phillip T. Arnold and his crew is THE MADBURY CLUB here to teach you how its suppose to be done! This guy represents everything fashion was made to be, and he doesn't have to put it in away messages, nor update his twitter, facebook, or pictures to let people know that either, and thats what I respect about him and his crew. They just show little small garments of their style and define everything from head to toe and why they chose it. Not to raise the HYPE nor to EXPAND it, but to keep it at a mature and ground level of respect and creativity. KUDOS TO YOU PHIL AND KUDOS TO MADBURY, I will be a daily viewer of the blog and so should everyone else LEARN SOMETHING!

His name was Phil and his brand is Award Tour http://www.theawardtour.com/ By looking at his tees I knew he was an inspiration from the start but my reading through his blog and looking at his artwork I became a fan OFF TOP a man of such character and grace it inspired me to continue my journey of being a designer and streetwear artist myself. To catch you guys up on what Phil has in store is a video showing off his new masterpiece called THE MADBURY CLUB, check his site and learn more about it, here is a video to start you off. ENJOY! BECAUSE I SHORE HAVE HAD THE JOY OF ENJOYING HIS VISION!

ANTHEM OF THE YEAR

This HAS to be the Anthem of the Year for me. I thought after Guru had passed I would never hear any uplifting music again. Music that would lift yo spirits up to a thousand after its been pushed down repeatedly to 10. Kudos to you Marshall “Eminem” for going above and beyond to write and rap REAL MUSIC!

UPLIFTED!

Today a good friend of mine Christopher sent me a link to a dude who was freestyling over "I WONDER" by Kanye West. Me not even showing any acknowledge to the fact that it's the bro Jensen Kirk back from Baldwin Hills Elementary spitting those fire ass lyrics. I was UPLIFTED to see the fact that knowing the streets we grow up in how hard it is to become something just to see him grace his own music videos is something beautiful to feel. Feels good to see him doing big things. Here's a few videos from VIMEO done by none other than Jensen Kirk aka JAY K!

REST IN PEACE GURU!

Its crazy I never really got in debth with some major original Hip-Hop because it wasn't in my time but as years progressed I lived to start honoring true pioneers in their craft and artist who really took time out to work hard on almost every or pretty much ever project they worked on. People like Tupac Shakur, Nas, Lauryn Hill, Mos Def, Common, Talib Kweli, J Dilla, Wu Tang just to name a few. Most Importantly "Gangstarr" reason I say most importantly because the words Guru would spit would be sooo uplifting you would get empowered automatically like he flipped the on switch in your beliefs. For example the song "Discipline" (catchy beat, great chorus, then he busts out "that's why I don't breath death in my songs, I breath LIFE"). Then you have "YOU KNOW MY STEEZ" (he says "Wackness is spreading like a plague, MC's lucked up and got payed but still can't make the fucking grade"). Its just rhymes like that that brings you back to reality. His passing today is a sad day for Hip-Hop, seeing as all people rap about the same stuff, Rappers using the same format, just to get by and get money, everyone doesn't have the mindset of Guru, the dedication that Guru had, the positive yet powerful rhymes he bestowed on our brains to think about and bring us back to reality when we frolick in our own fantasies! With pioneers dying what state is Hip-Hop/Rap in when all we hear are Raps that have little or no meaning in reality or real life events. Everything in 2010 represents fantasy and shit, we need more people like him to bring us back to LIFE!

Shake My Head, R.I.P. Guru. Forever will you live on in true Hip-Hop fans hearts and minds. I'm praying that some upcoming hungry artist can have the heart and dedication you had to really respect the gift of Hip-Hop instead of using it to get by in life!

LOVE/ HATE

LOVE: The whole concept of the collaboration; Vans shoes for each cities team with a Jersey is quite pleasing to the eye.

HATE: It costing more than $500. I mean i know its limited and I understand it's like "ohhhh if you can't afford it, stop complaining", but I feel bad for the REAL L.A. Dodger fans who have bills to pay who can't afford this rather than a fucking person rocking them for exposure and ongoing looks who can care 3 fucks about the Dodgers as an establishment and a baseball team.

BUT ALL IN ALL? THE PHOTO IS GREAT! AHAHAHA! L.A. STAND UP!

CLOUD 9

Last night while I was in line waiting to get inside a listening party, I ran into these two intriguing Caucasians. Throughout the whole time standing and waiting to get inside these guys had me and my friend laughing so hard, it made the whole 30 minute wait priceless! They seen my friend wearing a Go Deep shirt and was very overjoyed by my whole thought process and my plans for Go Deep Clothing. They gave me much love and respect for my tee. Then when they got inside they were yelling "GO DEEP". Throughout the whole listening party which was very overwhelming for me. You will be seeing these guys real soon sporting those Fall Tees. Got to give LOVE that was given to me. It's only right......
