Got Next: Edan

I discoverd this guy about a year ago. Edan Portnoy is an American alternative hip hop artist, based in Boston, Massachusetts. He is an emcee, DJ and record producer.
He is known for his eclectic mix of classic mid-80s till early 90s hip hop with 60s rock, funk and other styles. I dont really know how to describe his style. It's def. hip hop though. You can tell this guy listened to some old school hip hop before he picked up the mic. I can hear a Big Daddy Kane, Kool Moe Dee & KRS-1 in him.

NOT another Leggings Post! lmfao

Since Rich can go shopping...I can too right??
YES I CAN! So here's my shopping trip! As we all should know by now, Rich's favorite store is urban outfitters, so when I went to the one down town I copped a pair of Levi's which is my preferred denim, matter of fact pretty much the only denim I will rock[excluding the acid wash skinnys from American Apparel and Guess denim] cause they fit so damn good!!! So that's $54 for a pair of the 421 cut in a skinny, low rise fit with a lil spandex for comfort!

Of course my shopping trip would'nt be complete without a trip to AA for my favorite piece of clothing...a simple, white v-neck! $22

Finally....I was running low on cash so I headed to the dopest place you could ever want to even think about shopping...THE SALVATION ARMY/GOOD WILL! I know some of yall are prolly looking like wtf is she talking about but trust me, anything you want its there and it's literally a dollar! I racked up and got 6 plaids for about SEVEN DOLLARS! LIKE ONE DOLLAR BILLS, QUARTERS AND NICKELS!! When I say they were super dope, I mean all day at school people were like, YO! Where'd you get your plaids and how much did they cost....I was bullshittin like oh, these here are vintage! here was my look for that day! Disregard my cheesey ass face and my cheese-its! lmao


I completed the look with a pair of black suede and white leather Air Prestige II high's....

Rich's visit to the mall

So I went to the mall yesterday night. I didnt plan to buy much but when I saw the sales that JCrew had I couldnt help but swipe my card! Ok so first up is this lightweight flannel. My mom wasn't too wild about this one, she said that it look too much like a christmas shirt. That's kinda the reason why I liked it. It was on sale for $30 & 20% off all sale items plus you get an additional 15% off if you have a college ID. I of course had to use my cousin's ID. So that is a total of 35% off your grand total. I spent a total of $80.94, I dont think that was bad at all.



So this is the one that I really wanted. It was on sale for $30 also.

Relaxed-fit Chinos! These are my first pair of Chinos.

This is a BDG button down that I got out of Urban Outfitters. It was on sale for 20 bucks. I really wanted a shirt like this. I think it will go well with the Taka Hiyashi Vans that I am going to order some time today & a nice pair of denim jeans. I might wear a blue Cardigan with that also. Since they were on sale I brought the one in grey also. Sadly I had to return my first pair of Sperrys to make this purchase. I know :( But I thought since I was going to order those vans, it didnt make much sense to have two pair of brown shoes

Lilly Allen is back!

Got Next: Afghan Raiders

I discovered these guys on myspace while searching for a song to add to my page. I basically am attracted to anyone who has a good image & these guys looked pretty spiffy. The group is composed of two people, beans & mikey. They're from Las Vegas. Their sound is a cross between Digitech & pop.

Dope to the x23rd power!

I spotted this while dogpiling for things to post. I just find this amazing.
These were drawn by a guy name Designerman from New York. He's worked for Calvin Klein, Bill Blass, Perry Ellis and Sean Combs. He sits around & observes his surroundings. Sketching what's in at the moment. He must have a good memory because I doubt that someone would stand their letting him draw them.

Michael Jackson- Rock with you

haha I was on WSHH & I seen Raekwon from the Wu singing this. It made me realize how cool this song still is!

Dom Kennedy- Still lookin

This is a pretty cool track. Read his write up at Vibe

Clinton Sparks ft. The Clipse- I still got it for cheap!

Ayo this track is hardbody! Man these dudes are the most under rated rappers of our time. They just dont get the recognition they deserve. If you're gonna' talkin about drugs everytime around, why not perfect it. I read a magazine interview of these guys a long time ago & the interviewer was testing them on their knowledge of drugs. So he asked them a series of questions like how many kilos is 32 grams of cocaine. I forgot the answer but they got it right. So there's some proof that they do or have done what they rap about.
