Go Go Gadget Pen

A new writing gadget called the Pulse Pen is likely to change the way you take notes. The cigar shaped object allows users to coordinate recorded audio and handwritten notes by using specialized paper. The genius of this product lies in its ability to allow the user to later pull up a digital image of the notes on a computer and point to a place on that image to hear the audio recorded at the time the original note was taken. Users can also use the notepad to hear the audio play back through a speaker built into the pen.

Nigger...Nas is back with the "N"

Nas is back with another classic and controversial album. His single "Hero" featuring Keri Hilton was been blazing the air waves for a couple of months and it finally releases tomorrow, July 15, 2008. I've been highly anticipating another album from Nasir Jones and after listening to it, I'm proud to say he's done it again. There are fifteen tracks, one of which include Chris Brown. Hip-hop is still alive, don't give into the hype people.

Dolce and Gabbana Spring/Summer 2009

These photos are from backstage of the spring/summer collection of Dolce and Gabbana while it was being revealed. It features many silk prints, croc. The collection as a whole embodies the elegance of 1940s/1950s. Very tailored, sauve, asian inspired, boxer-chic (literally). Much of the outfits are like what boxers would wear, but very fashionable. Lots of warm neutral colors like beige, sage, periwinkle...many of the colors that see in spring and summer, but not bold and bright. Perfect for summer.

BLACK CEMENT

THERE BACKKKK! This October, the Jordan Collezione Pack IX (containing the IIIs/XXs). The IIIs to be released are the black cements (as pictured). The XXs are black on black with dark charcoal. I am very much anticipating this release.

Hip-hop is Vogue??

If you ask any true hip-hop head about the relationship between the genre and fashion, you'll find that they go hand-and-hand. Slick Rick and Ghostface a.k.a. Pretty Tony had pounds of dookey rope necklaces, Run DMC with the Adidas and track suits, the list can go "on and on"...in the present day hip-hop era, fashion and trends seem to be more or less evolving to a new standard or plateau. Know we have K. West who is always decked out in Prada, Ralph Lauren, and his infamous favorite Louis Vuitton. So infamous that he's known as the Louis Vuitton Don. Jay-Z is notorius for his fetish for Asian labels such as True Religion and Evisu. High fashion is at the epicenter of most major hip-hop. When??? WHY??? In an interview with Pharrell of N.E.R.D. by men.style.com he claims he wears what he once coudn't afford and always dreamed of having. "Hermes made a tote, kind of a weekend bag especially for me. Purple croc with gold accessories" Skateboard P explained. (as pictured). He also explained he would be getting other custom made goodies from Hermes. On a sidebar, he still is under contract with Louis Vuitton as a model. Will hip-hop and high fashion remain synonymous? It will be interesting what's in store for the future.

Air Jordan Olympic 1s

Another Olympic Jordan release. This time, it's the 1s (versus the previous victims, the AJ 6 and 7s). These aren't bad, IMO. I will edit this post as more info comes along about them.

Ne-Yo R&B artist/Rapper???

As many of you may know, Ne-Yo from Vegas, Nevada has done a ton of ghost writing and has continued to do so post debuting as a solo artist. So he can write songs, produce, sing, perform, and RAP??? Hold the phone, when did this guy decide to upgrade his resume? Take a look at the vid his did with producer, Bangladesh...so hilarious

"You're Crazy, Naw, I'm Shwayze"

Straight from the 310 (Malibu/L.A. area of Cali), a trip-hop group called Shwayze has emerged bringing a much needed swag to the hip-hop/rock underground (soon to be commercial) scene. They were apart of Warp Tour this year. There single "Buzzin'" featured in a Honda truck commercial (which I was how I heard of them)has a video. Check it out, pretty dope IMO

C.R.S. "Us Placers"

Current hip-hop's finest has chosen to grace the airwaves together creating a musical utopia. Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, and Pharrell a.k.a. C.R.S. have a video for their single "Us Placers". This song forces you to think outside the box on current issues and events. I can't stop listening to it, this song just haunts my brain. Take a listen...
