dare to be different



So I was reading one of my favorite blogs the other day, F.M Phenomenal (also known as Ibn Jasper), and dude was talking about the aftermath of his recent trip to Fashion week in Paris.

Since this event is pretty big, a lot of photos have surfaced. And some cat's are little more closed-minded than others. I won't say I agree with all the outfits that were worn, but I respect the idea of originality enough to keep the clowning to a minimum. Mainly, because it was fashion week (and I'm pretty sure this dress is the "norm"), I respect these cats for what they're out to do (break down walls), and a couple of the fits look kinda fly to me (Ibn's, Bentley's suit, and Don C).

Basically cats were calling them out of there names. You know the usual joints people attach to people that are different...

"You look like a (punk, fag, etc.)"

That shit boggles my mind. For real. I've come to the realization that maybe I will never understand it. It seems like whenever some one or some people try to break ground or deviate from the norm (even in a positive way) there are always a gang of cats who feel compelled to talk shit. And the anoying thing is, like a couple years or so later you can't help but to see a lot of these muh sukkas hoppin on the same bandwagon they were denouncing earlier.

Fukkas.

The name behind the iconography

One of my favorite artists, Shepard Fairey, has recently become a low-key celebrity due to him creating the main image/artwork of Obama's presidential campaign. His work is consistantly political and stresses an awareness of governments actions.

Can you give me a minute to breathe!?!?

I really can't get mad at Ye. Part of the reason I'm a fan of him, is that he does things that I could see myself doing if I were famous. Like turning my crib into a museum of sorts,wildin out at award shows, or even creating my own shoe and then not releasing it to the public until I'm done stunting with em...smh. First the Yeezy's now these...



Damn son... I won't even get my hopes up for these tho. They're Louie's I already know they'll have something crazy on the price tag.

And you thought your parents put you though some sh*t

I may never complain about my childhood again.

Obama says get yo paper

One of the main reasons why I have no problem believing Obama can help the economy get back on it's feet is because even before he officially got sworn in The dude's image was already generating thousands of dollars. From T shirts, plates, commemorative coins, beenie babies, posters, stickers, buttons, and yes even...


Obama has all your old G.I. Joes looking like straight up bitches.

The greatest show on ERF

So I'm chillin at the crib, watching the boob tube. Minus the boobs... And one of my favorite shows comes on, "Law and Order". Anybody that hasn't been living in a cave for the past 20 years knows that it one of the best written shows on tv...Even after they added Ice T's non acting ass. Speaking of which, I've seen better actin in a can of Tough Actin Tinactin...

But that's neither here nor there.

Did you know that show's producer is named Dick Wolf?
