Beyonce and Jay at Knicks Game


So I saw this picture from the Knicks/Bobcat game over on the People Magazine site and I thought it was HILARIOUS so I sent it out to some peeps and of course the voice of reason had to chime in...

No Jay, I'm serious, when are we gonna think about marriage?--voice of reason

earhustle #2
C'mon Jay, I really AM 24!--voice of reason


someone (who would like to remain nameless) also commented that the amount of fake hair on her head is absurd...LMAO!!!

Janet WHO?!


Someone tell me they are not serious with this mag cover?! Photoshopping should be outlawed...

Braggin' Rights...



Sorry I just had to take the time to brag about my new kicks!! woo hoo!! They're from the Nike Untold Truth Collection http://www.nike.com/nikeuntoldtruth/

I actually had the originals to these back in the day in like '91...those blue and orange Bo Jacksons and someone borrowed them and never returned them (Nike reissued them a couple years ago but the orange just wasn't the same)...so I immediately got excited when I saw these AND I only paid $39.99 for them!!! even BETTER!!!! I LOVE MY NEW KICKS!!!

Are you 'Jalouse' of Zoe Kravitz?




I saw the cover of this mag a couple days ago and was actually really impressed with it... Someone sent me a few more pics of Zoe from the actual layout of the mag and can I say this girl inherited the best traits of both of her parents?! (In case you don't know.. Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz are responsible for all this beauty) This girl is frickin' gorgeous...let's just hope she didn't also inherit her parents insanity...

SLEEP IN THE CAR?!


Why is Beyonce ALWAYS sleeping in the car?! The first time I heard of this nonsense happening was during the BET awards earlier this year and I didn't believe it. This is the second time I've heard it and this time I definitely believe it... this man has absolutely no reason to lie...


Maybe Jay should invest in getting her an 'adult baby blanket' ...she might get more use out of it than that Basquiat painting he bought her...

ish...


Oh yeah this is how you "challenge underprivileged students to make choices that will positively impact their careers and lives"...give them $80,000 t-shirts...Let's teach them at an early age that's it's all about striving for the most expensive ish to floss... and don't tell me that this shirt was meant as an investment and that its going to appreciate over time...they better put that ish up on eBay right now... trust... it's going the way of Von Dutch...and very honestly I can't wait... I might throw a party


How is this maintaining 'street cred'? Who's street are they talking about?


How is it that no one has told me that Prince has a club and show in Vegas? maybe I can see if I can stop by during NBA All Star weekend

Da Bishop


Anyone in LA knows who I mean when I say 'Da Bishop'. For years a lot of us have seen the green and gold Cadillac rollin' through the streets in da hood (ROLLIN'!). Like all Hip Hop Icons Da Bishop is getting his own tennis shoe (more on the next Hip Hop Icon to get tennis shoes a little later).

As soon as I saw the shoe I immediately fell in love (let me interject that sometimes people find my taste questionable but of course I always find it ill). Even though I consider my myself a true sneakerhead I usually don't venture too far from Nikes and an occasional Adidas here and there. I fell in love with the shoe for a couple reasons though. First, green is my absolute favorite color. I bought a pair of DKNY skateboard tennis shoes back in '96 because they were 3 shades of green (to my surprise the pair was later reissued like last year). Second, stars are my favorite shape so I absolutely LOVE the stars around the eyelets! They remind me of these Greedy Genius eyelet stars I saw over at Freshness Mag a couple months ago which I fell in love with immediately too. Now I WILL admit the shoes are a tiny bit gaudy... others would say completely gaudy but since when has Da Bishop not been gaudy? It's so befitting of him which brings me to the third reason I fell in love with them...because I think I can freak the shit outta them. I think I can flip them in a gaudy ass, pretentious, Miami, Versace, bling, Ginger Rothstein, lots of gold way and I'm sorry the PanameƱa in me absolutely loves gaudy sometimes. Hey I was raised on a lot of gold...we'll just say 14K gold barrettes when I was two and leave it at that. Fourth, I know that very few people I run into will have these kicks and that makes them look just a little bit better.


I sent these shoes out to a few of the 'heads that I know and the response was let's say mixed...

ear hustle#1
Bishop Don Magic Juan got his own shoe. Flavor Flav or Bobby Brown might be next--voice of reason


I was thinking more along the lines of '2 Big MC' or K-Ci (fromJodeci)--whateyesaygoes


Is 2 big mc still alive?--voice of reason


I don't even know. If he is I'm sure you can find him gettin' his "paper or plastic?" on at some Yay area mini mart.--whateyesaygoes


ear hustle#2
I'm going to go ahead and say, NO!--blkjoker


LMAO!!!! YOU KNOW I WANT THEM!!! I LOVE GREEN!!!! AND STARS!!!! those stars look like those greedy genius stars. I think I can freak them!--wildfire


You will look like a freak, with them on! LOL!--blkjoker



ear hustle#3
I can't advocate his lifestyle, yet these are VERY hot!--a well tailored man

ish...

I'm happy Dame can turn the other cheek... I'm not so sure I'd be able to...


I'm REALLY REALLY tired of people blaming things on Hip Hop.. what did Hip Hop ever do to anybody?


Here we go with the gay rumors...

Edvard Munch



Google happily reminded me today is Edvard Munch's bday...Sorry I LOVE art... I was actually once an art major..These are a few of my favorites...

Clean Diamond


In conjunction with the release of 'Blood Diamond' Amnesty International is selling red rubber bracelets that say 'Blood Diamond/Clean Diamond'. The bracelet can be purchased on the Amnesty International site for $2 (check under new products).

I love diamonds and unfortunately will probably always see the need for purchasing them (or having someone else purchase them for me only to demand them back in a month...but I digress...) BUT by making sure the diamonds we purchase are clean maybe we can all sleep a little better at night. Oh yeah and donate to Amnesty... they're good people... we all need a little more charity in our lives...

LA welcomes 'The Sly Show'


Fridays are always a little chill in the office so we're always able to get away with a little bit more than normal...


The show is on 11am-4pm PST and Sly is pure COMEDY. Apparently people have been calling him the 'Hip Hop Howard Stern'. I don't listen to Howard so I can't agree but I do know Sly is HILARIOUS! He's currently based in the bay but on the show today he mentioned he's moving to LA tomorrow!!! WESTSIDE!!! Let's give him a warm Los Angeleno welcome and show him why we LOVE LA!!!

New Adidas Sleek Series....WTF?!


Adidas has some new line out called 'Sleek Series'. Its an attempt to make the ol school kicks that we all grew up with a little more fashionable for women. I personally think these kicks are WACK. The reason I rocked Adidas growing up was because of the chunky clunky sole and the round toe. If I wanted something sleek I'd go get my hair flat-ironed.
