When routine bites hard, and ambitions run low....

Its been a pretty restful week for the most part

We witnessed the last couple chunks of Greenland wash in the Hudson:

"Look Mommy! I think I see an Eskimo!" False alarm, just New York City sewage.

Went to Gonz's and learned how good Metal Gear Solid 4 is. Really good like...

Nail-Biting good.

Seem's 5

 Although I respect Wil's opinion, I'm going to have to disagree.  I don't think 2009 will be that huge for many sneaker companies. After all, nothing can return to the legacy that was Jordan Brand retro years 2001-2003 or Nike SB 2003-2005. Sometimes you have to question, how far can JB get along with re-retros with lack of quality and "new twist on classics" (Fusions? True Flights? TRUNNER Q4s!?!?) and Nike SB with some horrid colorways. And the hype. Oh, that motherf'n hype. But I wouldn't consider myself completely pessimistic, I really do have hope in my heart that my passion for kicks is re-ignited! And you know not everything is so bad this year. Nonetheless, this is my 5:

5. 90's Skater Boy Nike SB

Best SB colorway so far(Other than Twin Peaks, which will not, REPEAT, will not be mentioned here).  They made having colors you would normally wear for Halloween respectable in the least. Been spottin' them since leaking in 08. Way too underrated in my opinion, but then again, who likes attracting hype to anything anymore?

4. Air Yeezy

I remember being in Gonz's house watching The Grammys wondering, "Jacket sick. Sneakers...Ultra SICK!" Definition of hype. Thats why these are 4.

3. Infrared 1's

One of the only 1 retros that has not disappointed(and GOD there are many that disappoint). This kick combines the Air Jordan 1 with a legendary Nike staple, the Infrared colorway. Now all we need is some cement print thrown on to make this the ultimate Nike staple shoe. The only bad thing about these is that they remind me of the Bred 1's I was not able to get last year. Sniff, sniff. 

2. Air Griffey Max 1

Something I agree with on Dubya's post. Depending on the economical status, I will be waiting for these Varsity Royal's (with the big green Max Air bubbles!!). If not, I'll just pick up the black ones and be less happier. Who cares, Vote For Griffey!!

Funny thing is folks, I wasn't prepared for a number 1.  But umm..

If this pack exists, I'll take em'!!!

Wil's Top Five Pick's Of O Nine. . .

09' Is Gonna Be A Big Year For Jordan, Nike, And Other Brands That I Really Don't Care About. There Is Going To Be Alot Of Retro's, Alot Of New Stuff, Fusions, And Etc. But With No Further A Due My Top Five. . .

1. Air Yeezy's

These Speak For Them Selves. Expect (March)

2. Air Griffey Max

I Been Waiting For These Since They Last Came Out. Expect (April)

3. White Cement 3s

Must I Say More. Expect (Some Time Around Fall)

4. Air Total Max Uptempo

These Must Have Been The Best Uptempo's Ever Made Especially Because Of The Neon Color Way. Expect (Fall)

5. Air Max 95' (Aqua Green)

One Of My More Favorite Colorways Coming Out. Expect (Sometime During The Year)

BK . . . !

It Was The Nicest Day Of The Week Her In NYC. Here Are Some Nice Images Of One Of The Better New York Landmarks The Brooklyn Bridge Which Is A Marvel On Its Own.

"The Diet"

Obeezy At His Inauguration Ball With The First Lady

"Life . . .
I Wonder . . .
Would It Take Me Under.
I Dont Know."

-NaS

Obeezy!

In A Few Hours We Finally Get Rid Of Bush. The Biggest Idiot That Anyone Could Put To Run A Country, But I'm Sure Going To Miss His Speeches Like "I Dream That One Day Fish And Humans Will Coexist" And Other Funny Shit.

1600 Pennsylvania Is Where Obeezy Is Going To Live At. I Voted For Obama Because Not Only Was He The Better Candadite, But The More Eduacted And Better Spoken One. He Will Recieve A Nation In Great Dept And With Large Problems, But I Believe That He Will Bring Us Out Of This. Not This Month, Or The Next, Or In A Year, Or Two, But He Sure Will Make Change Occur For The Better.

Tribute to the Tribe

What is there to be said about A Tribe Called Quest? The Abstract, Phifer, Ali, (and sometimes White) redefined the rap game by showing you could be successful rappers by being self-aware and intelligent. Me and CJ have debated what Tribe songs are the greatest. (CJ: Check the Rhime, Scenario, Electric Relaxation, Seem: Electric Relaxation, I Left My Wallet in El Segundo, Lyrics to Go, Sucka Nigga). It's a beautiful thing when you can debate so many songs coz' it mean that artist has offered so much to the fans.

Bassline sick.


Ultimate road trip song


Horn sample in the song is amazing


Put it this way; if you don't dig the Tribe, you aren't a real New Yorker.

Hookah Hoes!!

Like Baseball Is The American "Pass-Time", And Blowin' Shit Up (Including Themselfs) Is The Middle Eastern Way. Our "Pass-Time" Is Hookah, Nuthing Like Smoking Flavored Shit That's Legal.
