If You Havent Already

This weekend I checked out the Seattle Art Museum, (no I wasn't bored I quite enjoy the arts) and checked out a couple exhibits. The main exhibit was Smoke and Mirrors which was pretty thought provoking given the majority of the pieces were made with, well obviously, smoke and mirrors. There was some other dope stuff to check out down there, especialy the Black Art exhibit which I thouht was very interesting. If you haven't already I encourage you to ake a trip down there it's worth it. Unfortunatly some bitch ass security guard told me I couldnt take pictures so this is the only one I got. As you can see crazy shit goes down at the museum.

(You get to see tities and feel sophisticated at the same time!)

Kanye West-Love Lockdown

A bit of this song surfaced a while ago but it was stopped midway because Kanye's band fucked it up. Here's the full version. I kinda like this song, its a little something different for Kanye. I especially like the rhythm of bass...crackin

Common Feat. Pharrell-Announcement

Kidrobama

Looks like the whole streetwear world is gunnin for Obama. Kidrobot shows their support to Barack with their recent Kidrobama t-shirt set to release soon. I have yet to see a t-shirt saying something like Mccain'n Pain!

Like everyone else, I sat up last night and watched the Republican National Convention. Unlike everyone else, upon watching that douchebag (excuse me that was rude) Sarah Palin give her acceptance speech I realized I've met that mothafucka! When I was on one of my travels in Alaska she happened to be running for governor of that wonderful state. Her campaign consisted of handing out hotdogs and hamburgers to the village people at the Summer Solstice festival which I happened to be at. Yea I got a hotdog from Sarah Palin, for free! suckas! Tune in next time when I tell the story of when I met Wang Chung

Kooler's Cousin And Mos Def Freestyles At Magic

Kooler's cousin is Asher Roth which is tight, even though Mos kinda disses him right here.

No Air Jordan 24?

The Jordan Brand announced that there will be no more numbering of Air Jordans. Pretty much the 23's were the last numbered Jordans to be realease. Jordan still plans to release a top of the line sneaker this Feburary. Instead of calling it the Air Jordan 24, they are going to call it the Air Jordan 2009.....WACK!

Lupe Fiasco-I Know Why

I dont know this is just ok to me. The rhymes are cool, the beats ok, everything is just alright to me. Not a song to put on the album or anything but cool listening to.

The Cool Kids-Thats Stupid The Mixtape

For those of you who are real hipsters and didnt know that The Cool Kids dropped another mixtape all I will tell you is, CLICK HERE MOTHAFUCKA! The mixtape has seven songs, two of which were on their last album and one of wich is by Tennille. The songs that are new on the mixtape aren't classics like Black Mags or anything but for the most part they are quality Cool Kids tracks worth downloading for sure.

I Just Yacked Mr. Jordan

I'm not quite sure what is going on with the Jordan brand at this point in time, it seems as if they are just completely out of new ideas. These new Spizike's, featuring a cactus and violet colorway, perplex me in ways I never thought imaginable. Swear these look like I could buy them from the African guy who runs that shop on rainier for $30! I expect a lot more from one of the leading sneaker companies. These drop exclusively in Europe. No say on the release date.

Stars And Stripes

Come out and support this guy TH at the Stars and Stripes concert on September 11th at Chop Suey. Also featuring D Black, Peoples, Spaceman, and Gnotes. Come out and support.

What Happened To The ISH Blog?

Ok, alright I've been sluffin. As you can see the Ill Shopping Habits Blog has been on a brief break due to conditions out of anyones hands. Earlier this summer both me and kooler left the country to do some studying. Me in the Dominican Republic (much studying was taken place there) and Kooler in Panama. We both decided to leave Blog in the hands of my big brother Jacob the Jeweler. My big brother carried the load of the blog for a couple days but soon his hectic life took over and the ball (the blog) was dropped. I cant be mad at this man though, life is hectic. Upon my return I fell into the hectic lifestyle of being 16 during the summer time in the six and no blogging was taken place. No worries all is not lost, the summers over and I've got lots of time on my hands once againI! So, dont skip young world the ISH blog is back written by the BFK and affiliated with the infamous Laced Up....Stay tuned Me Studying In the Dominican
