To kick off the new year in 2010, Air Jordan will release one of its most sought after models of all time, the Air Jordan VI Infrared. The weapon of choice as Jordan and the Bulls captured MJ’s first of many championship titiles, the shoe’s only previous retro was in 2000. With the January, 2010 release date comes a suggested retail price of $150 USD.
One of my favorite songs off 808's. If you listen to this in the car it automatically becomes the soundtrack to life. This was done by Javier Longobardo. Hit the jump to see an equally dope fan video for this song that was made back when the album first came out.
"The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation."
Kanye featured in L'Officiel Hommes showcasing his Louis Vuitton sneakers. I'mma do a post giving a more detailed look at these kicks and Kanye's collaboration with LV soon. More pics after the jump.
If you have any hint of melanin in your skin, then you've probably seen the BET Awards by now. Yeah, there were some things that could've been better and some parts where I had no idea what was going on, but overall I definitely enjoyed myself and applaud BET for putting together the show that they did so last minute with the recent death of Michael Jackson. Sometimes we as black people get so caught up in criticizing things like this and focusing on the negative aspects (especially when it's BET), but I think for what it was worth I appreciated the show and how they paid tribute to the King of music. (And y'all KNOW how I feel about BET).
On another note, The BET awards opened my eyes to the effectiveness of Twitter and why it can be so entertaining. It was definitely a party goin' on. People kept things fun with all the comments and observations on there and the celebrity tweets from the awards and tweet pics were pretty cool. Tweet of the night:
@AndAllThatJas ....RT @whereUatRO: I wish BET died and Michael Jackson did a tribute to them.
"If you ever wanted to ever be anything, it always be somebody that'll shoot down any dream./It always be haters that's the way it is. Hater n*ggas marry hater b****es and have hater kids."
When I was li'ler, this was my bed. Parents were resourceful back then, couldn't be wastin bread on a crib so they took a cardboard box and made it work. I'll let y'all have it for the low Lo price of $255 or the best offer.
Simply the greatest. Michael Jackson is the single best entertainer of our time and the blueprint for most of R&B and Pop music as we know it. Everyone has their own MJ story or memory so I encourage you to post/comment on that if you want. This wont really sink in for a while. Hit the jump to see one of my favorite MJ videos.
I randomly caught an infomercial for Kidz Bop 16 last night. I've never really paid attention to just how ridiculous this concept really is. Not only is Kidz Bop hilarious because these kids have absolutely no vocal talent, but also because it is completely unnecessary. They choose all songs that are pretty much kid friendly already and compress them into pre-teen chants that all end up sounding exactly alike.
The above leads me to question who would produce such a putrid series of musical plagiarism. And furthermore who continues to listen to this stuff? Something tells me it's not kids. Have any of y'all ever owned a Kidz Bop album or know someone that does?
p.s. Here's the tracklist to the newest Kidz Bop album, I wonder if Kanye knows they're doing this.
... cuz she really doesn't give a f#@%. This video is the equivalent of having too much fun w/ the photo booth features on your Mac. Except this video is still cool.
