Only In New York....

Via mobile

So I'm on my way to BK after being in the studio with the kids from my internship all day... I hop on the 2 train and I randomly meet up with Ra and his brother... so that's like an only in New York moment in itself...

...but we on the train, and this man walks on and starts playing his guitar, and singing about people standing next to him, real funny too... so that's an only in New York moment as well...

... but THEN a man standing next to us, out of nowhere just starts talking and he's like "I'm really sorry to do this, but can ya spare 5 or 10 cents" and he's like buggin out, kinda has that crackhead bop going on... and that's the real OD only in New York moment...

...sidenote... the dude playing the guitar, when he's asking for money he says "I take donations, I have 3 kids at home and they all need iPods"... lmao

The Start Of A Beautiful Union...

Ight, so about my exciting day I told ya about...

Today was my first day working with this organization called the Social Services of Hip Hop as an intern... I am soooo excited about working with this org and helping grow its brand... everything that they are working on just seems so interesting and I'm looking forward to getting into it all...

I met with Jineea Butler, who is running the org, at her apartment in Harlem and I also met another intern... we basically spent 5 hours talking about the program, Jineea was schooling us about what she was working on, we told her about where we were coming from and what we wanted to do, we talked about the NBA Finals lol, we talked about some upcoming events, and I really can not wait to get started and learn more about SSHipHop... working on this is probably closest to what I envisioned myself doing as a career than anything else I have done, so I am very very ready to get it crackin lol...

...my first assignment is to critique the website, ya can help if you want to... this is the website=> ss-hiphop.com... let me know what you think...

this next week is going to be a nice ease into seeing what the org does... thursday we are going to a school in the Bronx to see one of the programs, Friday we are going to a recording studio, Sunday we are going to a performance space to see the space and sit in on a rehearsal, and then next week Thursday we will be working at the performance... if the performance is open to everyone I will post more info about it here...

Dope Commercial: Toyota Prius- "Harmony"

seen this commercial a million times, I'm sure everyone has... but I think it is so ill... the way the people are every element of the enviornment (trees, grass, water, sun, etc.)... I think it is so visually appealing and the message is crystal clear...


^

my favorite element is the way they create the water, how they even include people dressed in all white to be the foam and how they jump up as if the river is bubbling... sooooooo dope

Men.Style.Com 10 Essentials: Kanye West

swipes: men.style.com


In an installment of Men.Style.Com's "10 Essentials" series, Kanye West goes through his 10 must have fashion pieces... (I've included pics of some of the ones I really like or agree with)


1. Heather-Gray Balmain T-Shirt

-I love me a heather gray T, though I'm personally into v-necks right now

2. Black Air Yeezy's

-My favorite of the 3, I really really REALLY wish I owned these...

3. Dark-Brown RRL Jeans In Slim Boot Cut

4. iPod Nano, iPhone, and MacBook Air with AirCard

5. Vintage Levi's Jean Jacket

-I've been thinking about doing the jean jacket thing, but I don't think I can pull it off as well as Ye does... recently saw Drake rockin' it pretty well at Summer Jam '09

6. Blacked-Out Rolex Submariner

7. Calvin Klein Boxer Briefs

8. Lanvin Seersucker Dinner Jacket

9. Louis Vuitton Monogramouflage KeepAll

-Man bag!!!! yes, I am with it!!!! lol

10. Retro Super Future Flat-Top Sunglasses

-I'm really trying to find some nice sunglasses that I can rock, don't know why but I never like sunglasses on me... these are fly though, might work...


... I think these style essentials are very nice, basic pieces... kind of an everyman's essential list lol, only Kanye's is just a bit more... but I mean think about it: a basic t-shirt, shoe, pant, music player, phone, computer, jacket, watch, underwear, blazer, bag, and glasses...

... Men.Style.Com has a bunch of celebs for this series, I'll probably post a couple more that I find interesante (interesting)...

...

...oh, and I learned how to take screenshots (basically a picture of whatever is on your screen) recently and have been using it in my last couple of post lol... could you tell????

The Bible According to Goggle Earth

swipes: creative review

Scenes from the Bible have been imagined by countless artists over the centuries, but never quite like this. God's Eye View portrays four key Biblical events as if captured by Google Earth.

It's the work of Sydney-based "creative collective" The Glue Society. The project was commissioned by Eric Romano of Pulse Art, New York for its Miami art fair. Romano had seen the group's Hot with a Chance of a Late Storm installation, a comment on global warming in which a melting ice cream van oozed across the promenade and onto the sand at Tamarama in Australia last year as part of Sydney’s Sculpture by the Sea event, and commisssioned them to create this new work.

- Garden of Eden


-The Cruxifiction of Jesus Christ


-Moses parting the Red Sea


-Noah's Ark

Weekend Review: June 5th- June 7th

Friday June 5th:

Went to the place called Eden (8th Ave between 46th and 47th Street)... the entrance was this random door with a bouncer standing in front, walked past it twice before I realiezed I was there lol... I was with my brother and we were going to a friend of mine's birthday party... walked up 2 flights of stairs and then we were finally at the place...

...it wasn't bad, it's pretty small, but its dope because it has an outside area... so in total there are 2 dance floors, a bunch of seating, one main VIP seating area, one DJ booth, and 2 bars... probably a maxium capacity of about 200-250 people, including the outside area, so its a pretty small venue... if Friday night had been nicer it would have been really cool cause we could've been outside partying, but all in all it was tight... despite what the pic with a bottle in my hand suggest, I only had one drink, big brother got me a rum and coke when we got there...


Saturday June 6th:

So I was supposed to accompany my boy Mike to some fish fry (yeah, for real lol) in Wash Heights, but we started the night at my friend Keenan's house and never left lol... it was me, Mike, Keenan, my boy Jonathan (aka J. Storm, aka I.Q.) and my boy Sean (aka Cappo), and we were listening to music at first, then started listening to instrumentals... Sean and Jonathan just started freestyling out of nowhere lol... now see, Sean and Jonathan rhyme and everybody knows that, but only Mike and Keenan know that I rhyme... and then I joined in on the freestyling and spit some ill ish... then we decided to start recording the freestyles and we have a bunch of footage now lol... I'm just waiting on Mike to get me those videos and they will def be up here...

Sunday June 7th:

Went to shorty's house and chilled with the fam... watched the game (sorry Orlando, that was def ya game to win...)... sunday was pretty chill...

LeRoy Smith- The Man Who Motivated Michael Jordan

swipes: sneakerfiles

Leroy Smith is the man who motivated Michael Jordan. Known for his “Balltastic” skills on the court, Leroy Smith (played by Charlie Murphy) claims to beat out Jordan for the Varsity Team at Laney High School. From there, Smith says it best “After I beat out MJ for the last spot on our varsity team, he went on to become the greatest basketball player of all time”.

This is so hilarious... there is an official website and everything, with wallpapers, videos, and even a game lol... here is one of the videos, they are all worth checking out, I'll post some other ones later...

Fashion Against AIDS 2: Designers Against AIDS x H&M

swipes: broccolicity / DAA

H&M’s campaign for Fashion Against AIDS is partnered with Designers Against AIDS with the goal of raising youth awareness of HIV/AIDS. This year’s campaign lists an impressive array of heavyweight ambassadors from the entertainment, fashion, and music communities including Dita von Teese, Yoko Ono, Katy Perry, Estelle, N.E.R.D., Cindy Lauper, Robyn, Moby, Dangerous Muse, and more (many of which are pictured above wearing their FAA creations.) Going graphic with the designs in various racer-back cuts, easy tees, body suits and t-shirt dresses, the collection is sure to please fashionistas/os equally while 25% of the sales will be donated to projects helping raise youth awareness of HIV/AIDS.

What’s more, the collection is very reasonably priced for consumers and boasts 100% organic cotton, making it that much sweeter for those of us supporting a greener fashion world.

Mr. West Is In The Building...

so here are some swipes from Kanye's blog...

first up is a video for Kanye West's song "Spaceship" off of his debut album The College Dropout... he directed the video, but didn't release it because he wasn't feeling it at the time, but I guess he has had a change of heart recently and decided to let the fans judge for themselves... I think its pretty dope, def very College Dropout Kanye and not Graduation or 808's Kanye, but I think its pretty nice and fits the song and his style back then perfectly

Spaceship from kwest on Vimeo.

^
^

kinda wish he released this as a single, think people would have appreciated it, though I can def appreciate it for what it is even though his videos are on a whole other level now lol...

...next we have the much anticipated video for Paranoid, starring Rihanna (you already know)... I know I speak for many when I say that I have been waiting to see the official release of this video... I love the song (2nd favorite on the album) and of course when I heard who was in the video I had to see it... here ya go...

Comedy Greats: Rodney Dangerfield

trying out this new segment for the blog, and I know Ra would probably have some good ones for this so lets see if we can do this every so often...

..lets start it up with a very hilarious man... Rodney Dangerfield... got this idea from watching Jay Leno's last Tonight Show, and he attributes one of his sketches to Rodney Dangerfield and then they played some clips from the comedy legend that were fricken hilarious

couldn't find it, but I found this and it had me cracking up...


^
^
^
I think this man was pure comedy gold lol... here are some more classics from the late Mr. Dangerfield...

-Last week I told my psychiatrist, "I keep thinking about suicide." He told me from now on I have to pay in advance.

-When I was a kid I got no respect. The time I was kidnapped, and the kidnappers sent my parents a note they said, "We want five thousand dollars or you’ll see your kid again.

-My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

-My mother never breastfed me. She told me that she only liked me as a friend.

-I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

-When my old man wanted sex, my mother would show him a picture of me.

-I’m a bad lover. Once I caught a peeping tom booing me.

-Last night my wife met me at the front door. She was wearing a sexy negligee. The only trouble was, she was coming home.

-A hooker once told me she had a headache.

.... oh man, I am crackin' up as I blog, truely LOL'ing hahahaha...
