I Want Those Flashing Lights

Colin Munroe did a great Remix to Kanye West's single, Flashing Lights. I' am absolutely in love with this remix. The lyrics and meaning behind the song are real deep and it puts a real good twist on the song

The remix is about not making it big, being outshined by others, and basically having nothing at all when you really just want everything. i can assume that we have all felt that. We all put in such an extended effort into so many tasks that we do daily and we just want to be recognized for our actions.

The video is super cool. I really enjoyed the whole form in which it was shot from the point of view to the fighting scenes.

I'm going to be keeping my eye out for some more work by Colin Munroe.

Kanye Nike's Confirmed.

So recently in an interview Kanye spoke about his outrageous Grammy outfit. Of course the question on my mind was what the hell is up with those sneakers.

Ye shed some light but very little,  "I had on a pair of Nikes too, but I can’t talk about those because they’re not out yet.".  

Thanks Kanye. Leave everyone anticipating these joints.

Either way, they are real interesting along with his whole outfit.

He also came to mention that the outfit was designed by Himself and His stylist. His jacket was lined with lights that were powered on battery and under the jacket he wore a Hedi Hoodie.

Dope regardless of who designed it or what brand it was.

Loopy Fiasco PErforms on Leno

Loopy Fiasco? Come On Jay!

Anyway, Lupe performed on Leno the other night.  

Lupe performed Paris, Tokyo  with a live band. Sounded absolutely amazing. One of my favorite tracks off of "The Cool", which is his newest album that I can't get enough of. The thing that really appeals to me about this performance is the different flow he spits with the live band. The song on the album is real relaxing and soothing. It comes off to me as a dream that I feel like I will never love. Just a careless ,laid back theme over the track. More often than not when begin performed live and especially with a live behind the vibe for certain songs gets sacrificed. Not here. Although the lyrics and vibe is the same the overall song is rather different, aside from the lyrics.

Two thumbs up.

White Supra NS Trinity

Wow. Supra keeps on dropping some real heat starting with the Gold Sky Tops most of his kicks have been straight heat.  

Just when you think that they can't do it again,  you get bitch slapped by these.  These are the Supra NS Trinity is an all white colorway. I can't pin point what makes these kicks so dope. It could be the cracked leather? Maybe the Crock Skin? Straps? Or could it be that we have not seen such a classy high top sneaker. I think that it is everything thrown into one.

I usually stay far away form products out side of Nike/Jordan. But these will have to be something that I get my hands on. Retail is $210 and I think it is well spent. With the Spring and Summer around the corner these kicks will be perfect for laying back lampin' on a clear summer evening. 

Be on the look out for these.

Nike Safari Air Force 1

A combination of two of the hottest model Nikes, the Safari Color way and the Air Force 1. With 2007 being the 25th anniversary of the Air Force One we saw a ton of Air Force 1 releases. But by far this exceeds all of them. Easily the hottest release of 2008 and I love it a lot more then what we saw in 2007. Also in my opinion i think these exceeds anything Nike has done with the Safari colorway from the Air Max line. 

This Air Force 1 has every feature on the original Nike Air Safari colorway. On the tongue tab, it features Nike Air Safari in an orange font which is also dope. 

I so glad to  see this colorway back, an absolute most cop for me. Love at first sight. Thank you Nike, it's about time.

Jay and Nas Album Rumors

According to Daily News columnist Rush and Molly, who are practically undefeated when it comes to Hip Hop rumors, Jay- Z and Nas have be preparing for their anticipated collaboration album. As you can see just by my blog I' am a huge fan of collabo's weather it is in fashion, art, toys or music. Two heads are always better than one. And two MC's that will lyrically murder your tops MC's together on one album should be a swell combination. 

Although the title fits these two so well, it is just way to cliche for me ...."The Kings of Hip Hop", I can only hope that is not the actual name of the album. Even if ti is, I will by it and Im sure it won't disappoint. 

Prudential Center

Made the trip to Newark yesterday for Islanders at Devils. Unfortunately the Islanders win streak was put to a hault at the game I attended, figures. 

Anyhow, an excellent facility. I really believe that they did a great job on the construction and the atmosphere during the game was real intense. I saw a ton of Blue and Orange in the crowd which was assuring. One of my favorite aspects of "The Rock" was the size of the hallways. in between periods navigating the halls was not a a hassle.

Considering it is in my nature to pick out all of the negative things that I noticed, I will now begin my nit pick. The biggest one was the bathrooms. To enter through the bathrooms there was two entrances. This was causing much confusion at the urinals with people entering from two different angles you spent half of your time in the lavatories deciding who was next up to bat. Now after you finished doing what you had to do, I looked down to notice no automatic flushers? That seems odd. 

My next bog flaw of "The Rock" was the "Beers Of Newark" stand. About a 20 minuet wait on line to get up to the register and realize only one type of beer on tap and no Bud Light. Not only were they serving the beers in cups but the process went something like this:

Me: "I'll take two Coronas and a bag of Peanuts"

Underpaid Worker: "Not a problem"

My Thoughts: Actually this is  going to be a problem because I have noticed you actually have to sit here and pop the top to each of these beers and actually pour it into a cup. This will take some time, you have to wait for all the foam to go down and the 3rd period is about to start.

Now this process took a total of about 5 minuets, for just 2 Beers and a bag of peanuts.

Underpaid Worker:: "That Will Be $25 Dollars"

As I sulk.

Overall the facility was far better then it was worse.  I just felt like the cheaped out on a few things at the arena like the Bathrooms Flushers, like the only 3 taps of beer that no one has ever heard of at Beers of Newark. Also i noticed things like poorly designed signs for sections and other things that probably no one else takes into consideration.
