WINNER OF THE LIFE TIME HATER AWARD...

Often we forget the forefathers, the people that have been doing this for years, the ones that have made a career out of hate. Nelson Monts has been hating on people as long as i can remember picking up a remote. You have swayed an impressionable young boy from a boring life of love and appreciation. You bullied the weaker and incapable, you scorned the meek and good hearted, you’ve crushed the dreams of the dreamer. Who could ever forget your signature "HAHA" after every hateful deed. So for all of this, I commend you Nelson Monts on a life time of hate. Again(with a tear in my eye), I give u Nelson Monts, winner of the life time hater award.

BAPE x Original Fake(ohhh yeahhhhhh)

Comes in black or white, with both set to release this Sunday, May 3rd.The white version will be available at Original Fake flagship. In the meantime, the black version will be for sale at the BAPEXCLUSIVE just around the corner in Aoyama(viafreshmg)

COME ON!!!!!

With all do respect, is anyone else tired of eminem using the same flow, same style, same beat(with minor alterations)???……ok not that most rappers don’t do this, its just that I expect more from him. I want to see where he can go, WE GET IT…you had a fucked up childhood, you pop pills, you have suicidal and homicidal thoughts but come on…I WANT TO SEE YOUR MUSIC EVOLVE!!!! I mean it could be that he’s run out of material, which is understandable (perfect example, American Gangster by hov) but damn I’m tired of this bull. It could also be the production, often when an artist works with the same producer for a whole or multiple albums, the music tends to suffer due to lack of fresh eyes. As for his whole body of work, no one can argue that’s he great but if this single is any hint of his new album, I want no part in it

Terry Kennedy is "SO HIGH"

Although there’s been numerous hints into both of these colorways, here now is a closer look into the Supra Society, which will mark the debut signature sneaker of team rider Terry Kennedy. The ultra-hi tops can be seen in both a perforated purple suede color scheme and fully perforated black leather and red version. Both will surely draw some interest within a revamped Supra lineup for 2009, which includes the Skytop II and Antwuan Dixon signatures(viafreshnesmag)

SINCE ITS A NEW ERA, GOT A BRAND NEW CAP

UNDFTD’s newest collaboration with New Era are these four different “Champions” 59Fifty fitted hats that feature the UNDFTD Strike logo on the front of the hat and “UNDEFEATED” written on the back of the hat. The hats come in various “Champions” colorways including an Oakland Athletics colorway in addition to various other colorways that are inspired by various Major League Baseball teams(viafreshnesmag)

CHIKAPOW!!!! AMAZING

Amazing from kwest on Vimeo.
THE FACT THAT HE MAKES A VIDEO TO ALMOST EVERY SONG HE PUTS OUT AMAZES ME....no pun intended :) What has been written about Kanye West’s latest album, 808s and Heartbreak can fill a book. It has been praised for it’s raw emotion and criticized for it’s auto tune heavy singing. Whether you love or hate the album, it is certain that it has become a new watermark for popular music. MCs have already started to mimic the album’s format and advertisers have utilized the cinematic compositions for dramatic effect. “Amazing” featuring Young Jeezy is one of the least somber songs on the album but just as emphatic as the other tracks. The song takes the age old Hip Hop braggadocio mold and gives it an epic feel. The visuals to the music provided by veteran music video director Hype Williams captures the enormity of the track by simply pairing it with breath taking shots of landscapes and oceans.(viahypebeast)

Converse (PRODUCT) RED Chuck Taylor All Star Hi “Lupe Fiasco”

I HATE CHUCKS BUT THESE ARE DOPE

Learning

the more i do
the more pertinent it becomes
seems like the whole world is on
like everything strives for it
at times even making destiny
id never thought i be on this voyage
came in and knocked it everything out of orbit
never thought id fight so hard
for something i didnt know i wanted
i pick little fights cause its my way
sort of desperation to counter yours
i always kept a smile on the costume
never let the stream through the mountain
still, back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
row row ur boat, ur blood forms the stream
dont know if ur my little devil or the worlds angel
live and let live, die and drag everything within
i could stand here and defend every action
but in the end, as in the begging, im not driving
love never dies but bonds fade
fire's the beacon of life
but at times it burns, scorching the earth
and sometimes it simply as to be put out
after the smoke clears, and the scars remain
time will settle and regret will fill the void
they say the soul snatchers comin
but ive made up my mind to define my own destiny

2 OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS TOGETHER

i realize its old and coldplay steals shit but its still fire and lost is speaks to my life right now soooooo

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I would cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get
What I deserved
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one

And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting until the firing stopped
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off


Ohhh and I...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I..
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Audi RS 5

I WANT THIS SO BAD!!!!!! REMINDS ME OF THE CLK 430

When Audi released the RS4 back in 2005, few expected it to be a true competitor to BMW’s benchmark M3 coupe but with the benefit of quattro AWD, a high-revving V8, and better weight distribution, the performance sedan managed to upset many, if not all, of its rivals. A replacement for the RS4 is till several years away as RS variants are usually only released in the final couple of years of a standard model’s product cycle, but to fill the gap a brand new RS5 model is due.The car will also likely get the option of Audi’s newly upgraded S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox along with a manual transmission.(via motorauthority)

NEW SHIZZZZZzzzz

For those continually memorized by the graphical works of artist KAWS, his OriginalFake brand has provided a cheap(er) and more easily available format to acquire his popular art. Two new designs are seen here for the month of April in the form of the “New Text” and “Ct Liz” t-shirt. Both feature some strong visual designs which incorporate liberal uses of color, especially in the case of the New Text tee.(via hypebeast)

Precious Moments

Why do I feel so...alone
pretending not to be so pretentious
smiling when it warrants tears
laughing when…

my mornings are warm…
the sun kisses my eyelids, as if to gently welcome me back
a split second between unconsciousness and this world
just for the single moment where my dream is...true
just before my eyes see clearly
before i encounter the heart wrenching void my day faces

my mornings are warm…
i wish life only existed in this realm
where i dint realize the coldness that is reality
where the dream world and this one don’t quite meet
if this was the purgatory that those old ladies in head scarves warned of, then damn... let me stay

my mornings are warm...
i don’t really know what to think of heaven
but damn, if its anything like this morning,
i wouldn’t feel so...alone
i would have you, now, later, till i take my last…
that however doesn't exist...right?
so i laze in those 2 seconds
where my dream girl isn’t in my dreams...
shes real, just as beautiful
just as.........
i don't know how long dreams last
but i would imagine its until they come true...

COMPLEX MAGAZINE COVER (west)

Knock You Down

[Kanye West]
Tell me now can you make past your caspers
So we could finally fly off into NASA
YOU WAS ALWAYS THE CHEERLEADER OF MY DREAMS
to seem to only date the head of football teams,
and i was the class clown that always kept you laughing
we were never meant to be, baby we just happened
so please don't mess up the trick,
hey young world, i'm the new slick rick,
they say i move to quick but we can't let this moment past us,
let the hour glass pass right into ashes
let the wind blow the ashes right before my glasses
so i wrote this love letter right before my classes
how could a goddess ask someone that's only average, for advice
o-m-g you listen to that bitch?
woah is me, baby this is tragic
cause we had it, we was magic
i was flying, now i'm crashing
this is bad, real bad, michael jackson
now i'm mad, real mad, joe jackson
you should leave your boyfriend now, i'ma ask him

Space Jams???

apparently these sick 11s are due to drop this December...which brings this years total of j's to 4!!!!

Pooh Bear

the cooling breeze carries relief
at the same time, it hints at bitter intent
so what in the world am I suppose to feel
what exactly is the path the leads to everyone winning
because secret potions don’t exist
simple answers never arrive on time
noble intentions are often warped into cruel actions
how do u apologize for incessant mistakes
hurting you is both unintended and deliberate
trying to build bridges leads to unwanted connections
remaining stagnant is a map to the end
but it seems only then can all the variables be satisfied
go straight to pain, do not pass hurt, do not collect
remember when we christoper robin and poo bear
nothing in this world could hurt us
nothing could come between our HONEY
shes my day, you’re my night
the sun rises when shes with me
the moon illuminates the darkness when you smile
so really, truly, from the soul, im sorry
everyone else’s joy seems to be contingent on my unhappiness
for foreseeable future, I know this is how it has to be
and that I can live with and die for

CAUGHT ME SO OFF GUARD

i had a mouth full of chicken sandwich which never made it to my stomach because of this..haha

Family Guy Spinoff???
