R.I.P. Bowen Homes
This is happening in a lot of places, but this is a great opportunity to shed some light. Atlanta's historic Bowen homes housing projects were demolished last Wednesday. I'm all for improving a city and cleaning up the streets and such, but you never really here about what's being done with the people being displaced. They're being done dirty. I'm not gonna say too much more on it, but I'm feeling what Dax from SnortThis.com had to say about it.

Can't Knock The Hustle
ATTENTION: If you watch NOTHING ELSE on this blog...you need to see this. This is the story of Farrah Gray, a self-made millionaire by the age of 14!! This is crazy. There is no reason for any of us not to succeed in life. (I would take this opportunity to big up my city, but I feel as though it would undermine the importance of the message and take the focus from where it should be. So rather I'll just talk about how I'm not going to focus on that and subliminally do exactly what I set out not to.)

Moment of Silence
I really didn't even wanna post this cuz it's already all over the internet and if you haven't heard this yet, I don't know how I feel about you reading this blog, but I'm too much of a Hov enthusiast not too. HOVI'S BACKKKK!!! He'll be releasing the official first single to the album in July, a track called "Off That" featuring everyone's favorite rapper, but for now, allow "D.O.A." to invade your stereo. These drums are sick.
Jay-Z - D.O.A. (Death of Auto-tune) <--- This is the mastered, CD Quality version... none of that Radio Rip B.S. Only the best for my readers.

Take 3
The day is finally upon us. My beloved Air Yeezy's will drop their 3rd and probably final colorway today. I NEED these shoes, but due to the fact that I'm currently financially challenged and don't see camping out as a worthy investment of my time, it doesn't look like I'll be copping. But if you have a hook up, holla at me. And much respect to anybody copping...especially if you hit the trifecta.
