Crazy shot no matter whether it counted or not. And still one of the best, if not the best, nickname in the game. FLIP FLIP FLIP… GAME OVER.

Kids. Part II

31 Mar

These are not the BUilding BLOX we want to be using.

I am not sure exactly how to raise kids, as I mentioned before, but seriously I do not think this is the way. I am not sure how I could support my kid doing something like this at that age. Not to mention people are already obsessed with scarface at an appropriate age, we cant put them on that path as a youngin’. Granted, its funny, but still puts me through a whole range of emotions.

Blitz The Ambassador

30 Mar

I met Blitz in my time in NYC last fall. He is a cool dude and an even better musician. He puts on a show with a 12 piece band, fully active. His performances ring true to showmanship that brought hip hop to the forefront initially. But, at the end, all you need to know is that its free… go check it you ::deuces::

Blitz the Ambassador and The Mighty Embassy Ensemble will be performing Live on the Columbia University campus on March 31st as part of the Art of Healing showcase. The show includes special guests La Bruja and Queen Godis. This Event is Free to both Students and Non-Students and open to All Ages. Blitz will be performing new material from his upcoming project ‘Ɔman-ba’ (Native Son) which is due out Summer 2010 and songs from his critically acclaimed debut STEREOTYPE which is in stores now.

Kids.

11 Mar

I love what RL does for kids, not to mention those little mixed models. Makes me want to have some of my own, but in due time of course. My question is how do you balance having your kids look fresh and fashionable, while also having them be humble and truly appreciate the clothes that they do have. This question is partially addressed in the Sewn for the Soul piece done by Street Etiquette. I imagine that at some point you have to set up a rewards system for your kids. Or do you feel like kids will inherent the work ethic of the parents, if the parents are able to spend a sufficient amount of time with them. Thoughts?

San Francisco, 1906

8 Mar

1906 was a pivotal year in the history of San Francisco. This was the year of the Great San Francisco Earthquake, forever changing the thoughts of Bay Area residents towards quakes and how solid the land under their feet was. This music video has footage of SF in 1905, a year before the devastation seen above struck the city. Telling. Its interesting to consider what things have changed and what things havent, as a current resident. Looking down Market street still had a similar feel of chaos mixed with amazement, the draw of a major city.
