Drake f. The-Dream - Shut It Down | New Hip Hop Music & All The New Rap Songs 2010

Drizzy links up with The Dream to give you a little sample of what to come on "Thank Me Later" In my opinion its more of a track for So Far Gone

5519 vs. The TV


Over Spring Break we were disheartened by some of the images of black men on TV. So we decided to take it out on an old "idiot box". We gave it our own little makeover

Controversial Cologne by Tom Ford

Tom Ford’s latest cologne ad might be considered a little crude, but the sexy advertising technique is certainly proving effective. The commercial is getting a lot of attention for the provacative image of a woman grabbing her unnaturally round, full breasts with her manicured hands, pressing them together to show off a bottoel of Tom Ford for Men Fragrance in her cleavage. Any thoughts?

"...It Was All a Dream..."

Eventhough I am still a Cali Boy till the day I die, I still have respect for a hip-hop legend...RIP Biggie "every March 9th another 20 is mentioned...clones, imitators knowing for imitating"

You may not find this as interesting as me but being that I am advertising enthusiast and a brand believer I thought this was simply amazing. Please pay attention to the message the piece is trying to tell us...materialism+greed+over-consumption= destruction

We Got for It Cheap....Yeah Right


So I'm in Commonwealth the other day and see the new Play Cloths collection for the Spring dropped. They got some pretty dope sets. Some wind-breakers, hoodies, scarves, tees etc. Then I scroll down to the price tag and see the shirt is retailed at $45...

Now I'm a street wear enthusiast like the next man and know that quality costs. But daaaamn $45 for a tee? No shade on Malice and Pusha but this would make me start hustlin'! lol

But like I said before diff'rent strokes for different folks. And the thing is, as much as I'm griping about it now, I still may cop it! lol So if you like me in the words of Pusha T "if you addicted to the Fly...go head and cop" Playcloths

Photog Appreciation Day!!!

Shout out to the fine folks at Village Slum for piecing together this website. Their B/W work is phenomenal and for a long time thats all we would see. But lately we are seeing a lot more full color photography and the imagery seems to be timeless. Check the website. Village Slum
