Cosby & Kittens

..Cosby Clothing's recently released summer lineup has taken those howling wolf and Jaws inspired tee shirts to a whole new level .

I can just see Dapper Dave in that kitty shirt right now hahah ..

peep more photos from the release and where the line is available at cosbyclothing.com

Cap. Hill Block Party ..

..The Capitol Hill Block Party is back once again this year, just another good reason to be drunk in the middle of the street and listen to good music. Un-fucking-fortunately their lineup does not include a single hip hop set except for the physics.

The headlining band is Vampire Weekend whose cd I've heard a million times (courtesy of being employed at Urban Outfitters) and it's pretty good I'd definitely check em out if you make it down there which you should.




Their first single Oxford Comma


You can also purchase ticket at Urban (i swear i'm just trying to save you money and NOT plugg them) without the service charge so they'll be cheaper at $18.

Graffiti In Seattle


Just days ago, some friends and eye looked throw a picture book filled with Graffiti in the mid 80's done on street cars. We thought to ourselves, wouldn't it be cool if we had the balls to tag the new Light Rail. Apparently we weren't he only ones who thought it was a novel idea because just Saturday morning it was reported that the Light Rail that was being displayed was "Vandalized" by taggers. The car was parked near I-5 South bound on an elevated platform. It was said to be there to exhibit the progress of Seattle's Light Rail and that they were confident in security of the car. Little did they know that Seattle taggers are quite the ambitious bunch and the first to tag a new light rail gets mad props. Here in Seattle graffiti "Vandalism" as it is referred to by adults and some responsible teenagers, is on the rise by 40% since last year. I myself have seen a rise in tagging around my own neighborhood with prominent taggers like Eckel, Loser, and The Chicken Kid. Adults fear that nothing is safe anymore from these terrible people who vandalise property with no regard to its owners as they refer to them as. Seattle spends over a million dollars on painting over graffiti and installing cameras to parks and graffiti hot spots. Graffiti is not a very high priority for the police, simply because it doesn't matter! I for one believe that people are a little to uptight about the subject of graffiti, so I'm here to explain this for you and clear up any confusion you might be having. There are two kinds of activity's that can be used with a pen and can, one is able to either tag or graffiti. Tagging is simply going around various places in your neighborhood and writing what you think is a clever "tag name" on just about anything you can think of. Tagging is not art in any way and is truly vandalism. Then there is graffiti, graffiti is much more then writing your tag name graffiti is art. Graffiti takes time, it takes first and second drafts just like any other piece of work. Graffiti should not be looked down upon by society or confused with tagging, a graffiti artist is an actual artist and should get the due respect of an artist. Too often the term graffiti is used with tagging and is confused as being the same thing, but if we look closely we will see a clear difference in tagging and graffiti. Society as a whole I am petitioning you to pay a little bit more attention to what you may think is a vandal, because on second glance you may find an artist. Graffiti is art don't discount it for anything less.





Real graffiti art is done here.



This is no graffiti, its Vandalism!



Art? Or Vandalism?

Nas Feat. Keri Hilson -Hero

This is some real Nas right here, very refreshing to me after his recent infatuation with the N-word. The beat is clean and is more of a mature sound for Nas. The song "Hero" comes as a much needed break in terms of content in Nas's upcoming album, entitled Nas, which mostly talks about subjects pertaining to the N-word and race in America. Some of his recent song titles include: Ya’ll My Niggas, N.I.G.G.E.R. (The Slave and the Master), and Be A Nigger too. The album is set to release July 15th.

Air Max 90 Infrared Retro

In my opinon the most desireable colorway of the Air Max 90. Re released once already these are sure to fly of the shelves in days. Look for these in selecet Nike retailers late July.

DC 80's pack

The DC 08 fall collection presents the 80's Pack. These sneakers are inspired by Tokyo nights hence the bright colors and Japanese writing on the side. These are absolutely ludicrous, I love them. Look for them at select retailers.

Ether 2?


Ok so maybe not but Nas finally appears to retaliating to shots thrown at him by 50 cent on tracks "piggy bank" and "Queens get the money" New Nas lyrics seem to be directed at 50.......


"Niggas is still hatin/talkin that Nas done fell off with rhyming /he'd rather floss with diamonds/they pray please god let him spit that oozie in the army lining that shorty doo-wop rolling oowops in the park reclining take twenty-seven mc's put em /in a line and they out of alignment/my assignment said she said retirement hiding behind 8 Mile and The Chronic/get rich but dies rhyming/this is high science/now add 23 more from queens to b'more/i'm over they heads like a bulimic on a seesaw/now that's 50 porch monkeys ate up at the same time"
