Birds of the Yard.

Hong Kong has always been one of my dream vacation destinations sometime within the near future. I really want to go mostly because of the food, but also because of the culture and the fashion. In a lot of ways, Hong Kong is really similar to Los Angeles, if you just take all the people in LA and make them Asian, you’ll essentially have Hong Kong. Or so I hear. I’ve also heard that the women they’re [Read More]

Hit-Boy’s Hits.

Screen shot 2012-06-13 at 11.52.19 AM

Currently one of my favorite producers, Hit-Boy, is really doing some amazing things right now. From his Throne banger, Ni**as in Paris, to his newest to-be hit with the Biebs, Right Here (featuring Drake), Hit-Boy has been producing for just about anyone who’s anyone. One of my favorites of his right now is his production on A$AP Rocky‘s Goldie. That track is fire. Apparently, not only is Hit-Boy a producer, but he also spits a rhyme or [Read More]

Ninjas in Paris.

ninjasinparis

As you guys might know by now, one thing we love to say is “Dashet cray.“, which originates from this past year’s hit, Ni**as in Paris from the Watch the Throne album by Jay-Z and Kanye West. I think, in a way, we were lucky that the song had that famous line that everybody says now because it was perfect for our brand and really was exactly what this brand represents. I actually designed this shirt months [Read More]

Zoning with Kanye West.

Do you still love Jay-Z and Kanye West‘s Ni**as in Paris? Do you love the breakdown at the end, but you never want to let Kanye into his zone? Well, do we have a treat for you. Someone has created a HTML5 web game where your goal is to prevent Kanye from getting into his zone. This is one of the funniest games I have seen in a while, and man its creative. Also for the web [Read More]

All-Stars in Paris.

I didn’t watch any of the games this weekend, but good thing I didn’t, I only heard disappointing things. But then again, I don’t really watch sports anyways. Apparently this weekend, they aired a mash-up intro themed around the Ni**as in Paris music video for the All-Stars game. The video is pretty dope and well made, they did a really good job of mashing the music video and NBA footage together. You can tell that a good [Read More]

Auctioning Otis.

If you’ve seen the Otis music video by Kanye West and Jay-Z, you’ve seen the Frankenstein Mayback that they created. And if you haven’t, well, lucky for you, I posted it below! This car is definitely something that will be remembered in pop/auto history just because of the people that were involved and what they created. And if you loved the car as much as I did (and if you are ridiculously wealthy), well, Ye and Jay‘s [Read More]

Ball So Hard.

Months after the song dropped, the video for the biggest song of the year finally came out. Ni**as in Paris is one of the most quoted and played songs of the year. And the Watch the Throne concert was one of the most amazing shows I have ever been to. Even after listening to the song 10 times in a row at the show, I’m stil not sick of it. There’s something about that song that just [Read More]

Glory to the Ivy.

I wasn’t going to post anything about this whole “Blue Ivy” nonsense with Jay-Z and Beyonce, but Jay just released a track called “Glory” dedicated to his daughter and even featuring samples of her first cries. Or what he says is her first cries. Hov really pours his heart out into this track and creates a bit more buzz to the already-famous Blue Ivy Carter. By the way, don’t get me started about her name. If your [Read More]

GOOD Music of 2011.

albums

2011 was an interesting year for me in terms of music. I think I listened to more music in 2011 than in any other year of my life. Especially since I started work at a radio station, I started being exposed to alot of music, specifically hip-hop. From real ratchet shit to the trash hip-pop as I like to call it, I’ve been listening to everything. From Drake‘s Day Care, I mean Take Care, to Amy Winehouse‘s [Read More]

Watched That Throne.

givenchy_bird

If you guys can tell me where the artwork for this bag came from without reading any further, we should be friends if we’re not. This is the laziest and ugliest attempt at a new piece I have ever seen. They literally took the Watch the Throne artwork, stretched it, and threw that shit on a bag. I absolutely loved the art campaign that Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci has created for the whole Watch the Throne tour. From [Read More]
