Guess who’s back! Yeah it’s been AGES since I’ve posted but I will be back at it and since I’m moving back to NY in a few months, I think the blog will head in an awesome direction in the coming months and hopefully beyond that. I think I’m gonna hit you guys up with a good amount of music and news. I won’t leak anymore of 808’s & Heartbreak than you guys have already gotten on blogs across the web, instead I’ll bless you guys with some new music I’ve just got my hands on and a couple bangers we all know that I’ve been rocking with.
First things first though guys I do want to update you on a couple things, KR’s marker & ink company KRINK has just released something pretty impressive. The K-66 steel tipped marker which comes in 10 different colors, I haven’t gotten word or tested them to check their opacity, ink flow or price but stay tuned for more info I cant wait to test these babies out!

In a fashion industry where the occasional bite is acceptable and often times hyped beyond expectations we often see a high end brand taking a page out of the little guy’s book. There’s no better example than this recent effort by Louis Vuitton I stumbled upon. It looks like LV has drawn inspiration from the skateboard culture’s OG brand Vans and whipped up this new collection. With obvious beefed up soles and what seems to look like the legendary SK8 Hi’s and the Lo’s rich cousins these shoe’s are pretty damn clean, released for the re-opening of one of LV’s Japan stores these sneakers should appeal to anyone looking for luxury in a classic sillouhette.

Now for the MUSIC portion of tonight’s program, just a little while ago I stumbled upon these tracks from a dude by the name of Pase Rock. Fusing hip-hop and electro in a funk ass package full of shit I would find myself saying Pase does a good job of making fun and funny music we can all dance and laugh to.
Another group I’ve found is Heads We Dance, yes more electro but this is different….this sounds like robot orgasms. I know what you’re thinking “Fucking great another electro group raping the shit out of a vocoder/auto-tune or talk box!” And yes you guys are right they do use a vocoder/autotune, a lot but they do a great job of getting your head nodding, hipster girls 2 stepping in their fedora’s and swaying to the beat. Warning: HUMAN TOUCH IS HEAVY ON AUTO-TUNE/VOCODER LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
This track right here nigga….this track right here nigga…this shit’s DEF! Well really it’s closer to Bad Boy, Felix Da Housecat employed P.Diddy to feature on his track Jack U and my boys Jesse and Al of MSTRKRFT have taken the liberty of remixing and making it dope track even DOPER!
Now moving away from all things electro, I’d like to share with you a little of my favorite crack…..rap that is. Pusha T and Malice are The Clipse ( if you don’t already know) and when you added Ab Liva and Sandman you had The Re-Up Gang. Now unfortunately Sandman no longer is associates himself with Re-Up due to unhappiness with the politics of their last album but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate that fresh out the mayonaise jar, in your mom’s good pots baking soda-ey goodness that they once provided. So I reintroduce to you R-E-U-P-G-A-N-G!
Now,I know I said we we gonna move away from electro this post but just as I was about to wrap up I got a little surpise on my computer screen. The name of the band reeks of awesomeness and their sound is pretty much the voice of our generation ( fucked up by internet porn, fruit snacks, 90’s cartoons and college experimenting )and straddles the electro rock fence, as painful as that sounds. Their name, Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. Yeah, that’s right no typo no mistake and no I’m not bullshitting you, those of you that know me well know that I have an unhealthy obsession with Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson( see first post ) and without hearing a tune this band was automatically cool with me. Let’s have a listen shall we!
Well guys that about wraps it up for now, I did not forget the eye candy though so kick back and enjoy!
P.S. As a tolerant heterosexual male, I urge all of you guys to go out and fight for the civil rights of Gays and Lesbians in America, their right to marry is just as legal as anyone else’s. Think about it as recently as the 60’s if a Black man were to want to marry a White woman that marriage would not be recognized legally. There was a time when Black men couldn’t even marry Black women. Honestly, stop using the Bible as an excuse to rob these individuals of civil liberties, there is no sanctity in marriage because if there was, people wouldn’t be forced into it, it wouldn’t be given away as a prize on a reality T.V. show and it wouldn’t be used as a way to gain wealth. All these people want is the right to have the same 50% chance of lifelong happiness that you have. Their union does not threaten American society, homosexuality is not a disease and it does not threaten this country’s future. So honestly, what is it to you? How will two people who honestly love each other and want nothing more than to share each other’s lives hurt you, how is it your business? Those of you who voted for Propositions 8&2 have successfully stripped away the right of happiness from your fellow citizens, so hug your big book of Jewish fairy tales and rejoice that you made a mockery of the freedom that this country promises.
