UFFIE "ADD SUV"

UFFIE - ADD SUV (feat . Pharrell Williams) HD from Uffie on Vimeo.


I just got up on Uffie from checking out her interview in the recent Complex magazine (MIA/ Brandon Russell cover) and read how Ke$ha kinda took her style and ran with it to blow up (which is super weak to me) but to each his/her own. But overall from listening to other joints "Pop the Glock" she's dope to me. Im feeling the visuals to the new joint "ADD Suv" produced by Mirwais featuring Pharrell.

Her long awaited debut album, Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans was released in Europe through Ed Banger Records on June 11, 2010 and in the US by Elektra Records on June 22, 2010.

AIR JORDAN 6/17 FUSION



The Air Jordan 6 and Air Jordan 17 came together in a CDP pack some time ago. From the looks of things, Spring of 2011 will have them coming together as a single shoe.

Some multi-shoe hybrids have yielded great results, including a number of .5 Team releases and of course, the Spizikes. Mixing the 17’sheel and lace eyelets, the majority of this shoe’s styling comes from the 6, including the icy outsole forefoot. Where does this shoe rank among other Jordan Hybrids we’ve seen lately?

NIKE SB MID "UN-STRAPPED"


The Nike SB Dunk Mid has long possessed a certain design element that divides even the most devout SB wearers: a strap. For Fall, this Mid will appear without a strap in this proven color combination.



Pics of this shoe last week, but this is the first look at the actual shoe in detail. Sport Red suede is used for the upper’s majority, though black leather interjects on the heel, Swoosh and toe box. A white midsole separates the black outsole from the upper. Expect a Fall release, as well as more updates on this shoe as its release nears.

THE ROOTS "HOW I GOT OVER"



Today one of hip-hop greatest bands dropped their 9th album titled "How I Got Over." Production for the album was primarily handled by band members Black Thought and Questlove during 2008 to 2009.

Similair to the previous The Roots full-length, 2008's Rising Down the album features a wide array of guest singers and rappers. John Legend & B.O.B. appears on the single 'The Fire' and alternative rock group Monsters of Folk help The Roots remake their own song, 'Dear God' into an updated '...2.0' version which was released as the most promoted single. The album also feature a track that samples Joanna Newsom's "Book of Right-On," a track featured on her 2004 release The Milk-Eyed Mender, as well as new overdubs for the track, The Root's versions appear under the title 'Right On' here.

Other artists making guest apperances on How I Got Over include the ususal collaborators in form of Dice Raw, who makes several apperance throughout the album, P.O.R.N., Truck North and Peedi Peedi. Appearing for the first time on a The Roots album are Bay Area rapper Blu and newcomer STS, alternative group The Dirty Projectors does the intro to the record.

The album was primarily handled by the group themeselves, with Ahmir '?uestlove' Thompson and Black Thought being involved the most. Like all The Roots releases since the passing of producer and friend J Dilla, How I Got Over includes an homage to him as a person and his musical style (who ?uestlove many, many times credits for teaching and inspiring him more than anyone else in the music buisness) with the instrumental interlude "DillaTUDE: Flight Of The Titus".

DRAKE "THANK US LATER"

It was a difficult tape to pull off from listening because he usually works off acapellas but he pulled it off.

200 POST!!!!


Aight so this is post number 200... Just my thoughts...

The life I live is amazing and I love it. I made alot of new friends just off the strength of music, fashion, skating etc whatever. I build relationships with people and it turns out dope, together we stand divided we fall. When I broke my ankle I kinda got back into writing music and planning for my clothing line and more blogging. But as time went on I realized that I got used to enjoying hanging out and not really doing nothing that could benefit off of... I just felt confused. I realized that while Im trying to be good at the things I enjoy in life I had forgot about personal things in my life that I had to take care of. So its like work 1st, work harder then play later lol. I started spending alot of time on Facebook/Twitter than most and just was like forget this I need a life change. So by the fall my line SND will be out, my EP which is titled "Wish You Were Here" will be done and I will be a more together person?

SCOOTIE McB WAS HERE*
