The Carter

Lil' Wayne is going down in history. No matter what negative we can think to say about him & his career, the reality is, that he will be remembered forever. There are just some artists that will live forever. Wayne joins that group of artists.
His documentary, The Carter is premiering at Sundance next year. Now that's some big shit.
Here's the teaser

New Lupe!

This NEW track is called Hustlers and Customers. Check it out!

2009 Grammy Nominations: Record of the Year

Check out the nominations for the 2009 Grammys, Record of the Year. Listen to the songs and decide for yourself who deserves the award. There are a lot of amazing song's in the running this year: Coldplay- Viva la Vida, Adele- Chasing Pavements and M.I.A.- Paper Planes are all incredible songs, all of which have become global pop culture icons. Chasing Pavements is probabley my favorite song of those three (plus the video is brilliant), but I'd be happy with a win for any of these artists, because it means a loss for Lil Wayne (in this category at least)! Win-Win! Just kidding. Not really. See more Grammy Noms here!

Check out the show on February 8, 2009.

Justice finally served

O.J. did it!
After being acquitted for the murder of his ex-wife & her friend back in 1995 (which we all know he did), O.J. Simpson finally does some jail time. But this is for a hotel robbery & kidnapping he did a while back.
What a fucking moron right! He's sentenced to at least 15 years & up to 33 years in prison. It's ashame that that 1995 murder has gone unsolved. I truly believe Simpson committed that murder. But you know the old saying, stupid is as stupid does.
Don't drop the soap O.J.

Hollaz!

ALIFE Shelltoe Warrior

Nitrolicious put us on to a long overdue Women's sneaker by ALIFE. These are called the Shelltoe Warrior & they come in 6 colorways. Available at the ALIFE store & ALIFE retailers at a cost of $95.
JUMP to see them all...and my commentary

I like the black & blue one's...I fucks with the yellow & red too..but Honestly...ALIFE did not put their best foot forward 4 the ladies. Their men's styles are waaay hotter...this kick has way 2 many mixed elements...snake skin, patent leather, a weird shelltoe. And that girly ass "A" on the side is uneccessary...o the tongue it's ok. And that wierd semi-circle patch on the side, what was the point of that?

Let's face it ladies, when it comes to sneakers we will always get the short end of the stick. They need to stop designing for girls and design for people. Make a nice kick & put it in both our sizes... c'mon man. I mean I do kinda like 'em, but I kinda don't too

Taz Is So Arnold

Domo, Fresh 5, & I were at our favorite spot Sway, on Monday, & you won't believe who we saw there. Taz Arnold! Front man of Sa-Ra Creative Partners. We were so fucking hype! (Fresh most of all). Taz was looking so smooth. His every move was a photograph. He noticed us gawking at him and started laughing. Fresh told him he's the shit & he was mad appreciative & shook our hand. One cool fucking dude.
Taz Arnold is not only apart of Sa-Ra, he's becoming a style icon, and he designs for MCM & Kanye's line Pastelle. He also designs TI$A VI$ION, which I told you guys about a while back. His style is so on point it's ridiculous. He puts his shit together like no other. And he carries himself with such confidence, I don't understand how you develop a swag so smooth as Taz Arnold's.
In this interview he says his style is inspired by the era & area he grew up in (starting from the early 80's in LA) & the style icons of that time like Prince & Afrika Bambaataa .

Check this dudes crazy cool Myspace to learn more & listen to his ill track Vote Obama!

TI$A VI$ION

So when you see me its not some random craziness—there’s a history behind all that stuff. And for the record I’m not a fashionable person. Fashion is a pre-packaged style. I’m more a style person. It’s about being original and being an individual. My look is my personal style.

The best way to educate is orally. I suggest that people learn about the history of this planet and its evolution and learn the history of different cultures. Find the commonality.

My goal is to educate and heal people through color, vision and art. In my case my dress is my canvas. My music is sonic art; sound heals.

The music I make and the way I paint my canvas is a reflection of what I feel inside.

Competition is none in a world of aggressive lames and frivolous biters

On TI$A: The brand effortlessly combines mediums of art, design and fashion creating a place where love, global harmony and oneness can be the new vogue.

I am the master of my existence!

Alicia Keys' organization Keep A Child Alive is making dreams come true. Noah is HIV positive and dreams of becoming a musician, so Alicia Keys gave him the chance to record a track with Swizz Beats. Here he is performing it on the Tyra Banks show. It's really great. I love this kid.

Child Welfare, WTF!

I hate to make sad posts, but this one is necessary.
A California teenage boy was chained and horrifically abused by two guardians, that claim his former guardian instructed them to do what they did to him. This teenage boy was given to his 1st guardian after he was taken from his abusive father a few years ago. Child Welfare officials handed him off to another abusive guardian who then handed him to more abusive guardians. It brings me to tears that this boy has suffered his whole life never being loved. All he knows is abuse. He was chained, burned, beaten, and unfed. You can read the full story here.
All of these people are on trial, but so should Child Welfare be!
Child Welfare Services are bullshit!
continue reading...

A lot of children who are abused are foster children. Who can we trust to keep our youth safe if the only government funded service can't? While all of our Presidents' daughters are sipping tea in the White House, other daughters and sons are being abused every single day, many resulting in death.
I don't understand how Child Welfare can "rescue" a child from one devil and hand him off to another. What kind of research are these people doing on the foster parents?
And what is me making a post about this going to do to help?

Go to the American Humane website to learn how you can attend conferences & get involved.
Pray everyday for our world's children, because no child should go unloved.
