Oh good grief, Lil Wayne.

A preview of the artwork for The Drought is Overpast 7 was released a few days ago.  Let’s see who may find this offensive:

1. Anyone who loves Jesus.  This is currently 2.1 billion people worldwide.
2. Anyone who was in New York on 9/11/2001.  I’m pretty sure they may find offense of another fallen NYC monument surrounded by fire, war helicopters and human skulls.  Causalities are estimated at close to 3k people.
3. The NYPD, as indicated by the diagonal crucifix support stamped with ‘NYPD.’  There are currently 35k NYPD officers.

We’re looking at around 2.1 billion people offended overall.

Nice work, Weezy.  Somehow, Janet’s nipple slip during the Super Bowl in 2004 isn’t looking so offensive, right?

Here’s what I absolutely adore about French graffiti artist Fafi (outside of her characters reminding me of my absolute favorite female graffiti artist – Miss Van)… She always seems to have her eye to the fashion corner.  I remember her limited edition makeup stint at MAC fondly (and even have her art adorning lip gloss which is currently residing in my purse), and she brings a fresh perspective on adidas Originals for their Spring & Summer collections.  I can’t say that I’m in love with all four pairs, but the low brights (top left) and the metallic high tops (bottom right) are both a nice balance between texture, pattern, and color.  The other two are a bit lackluster in my humble opinion.  The bottm left reminds me of the old Bape print and the top right reminds me of some sort of Mi Vida Loca Sad Girl print.

I’ve always, always said that Weezy has had a ridiculous obsession with two things:  toilets and shit. He’s almost branded himself as the toilet king.  One of many, this is one of my favorites off of the Young Money LP, We Are Young Money.

Big house, long hallways, got 10 bathrooms I can shit all day, nigga

To me, this sounds like a huge problem when you have four children and numerous women in the house.  I can just hear Lil Weezy number 1 complaining to Little Weezy #4 about dad running back and forth between ten bathrooms aiming to shit in each of them every day.

Also, be sure to check out Weezy on the cover of Rolling Stone this month – speaks about his upcoming jail sentence.  I’m pretty sure they won’t have 10 toilets in his jail cell, but you never know – the F is for phenomenal.

After being in the radio and promotions industry for close to six years now, I can honestly say that there’s not a whole lot that impresses or surprises me.  More often than not, the inbox is full of bullshit which serves more as comedic relief than sparks any sort of creative interest.

U-N-I has always beat the status quo.  I’ve been on the edge of my seat, waiting for A Love Supreme 2.0 to drop (to contain remixes & a few unreleased tracks, scheduled for March 9, 2010 – along with a special “making of” documentary which captures the creation of 2009’s A Love Below aka one of my favorite albums in recent history).  Check out the video above, which is narrated by Dj Hyphen and features producer extraordinaire Ro Blvd.

If any of you are interested, Thurzday’s favorite rapper is Nas.

Here’s my problem with Nike’s Women’s Blazer Mids:  The swoosh looks like shit.  It looks like a poor Photoshop design job and I hate it.

However, I fucking love silver shoes.  Anyone that has seen my pair of utility high top Dunks has noticed my love for both shiny shoes and snakeskin prints.  These may just be one of the few Blazers that joins my collection – silver glitter with a nice set of bright blue shoelaces would be proper (who the fuck would rock white laces with these, anyway?).  The sequins are enough to make me forget the close to horrendous white midsole… Maybe.

Can I be honest?  I don’t know much about Kendrick Lamar whatsoever.  Here’s what I do know:

1. The video above is dope…. except for knocking on tattooed women.  Thanks, K.Dot.. errr.
2. I LOVE two-track videos.  Love them… especially for new artists. Take notes.
3. It was obvious within the first 30 seconds – this dude is from LA.
4. He may or may not be related to Lamar Odom. My guess is no.
5. I liked this song enough to download his first EP, link below.  What do you think?

ATL-reppin’, MC Donnis spent a lot of 2009 climbing the hip-hop ranks with live performance videos, profuse freestyles, and attention-getting tracks that leaked much to our delight. Having a mixtape with 10 Deep ain’t a bad thing either, just ask Kid Cudi and Wale.

All this grindin’ brought Donnis a deal to release the single “Gone”, with a video under A-Traks, Fool’s Gold label. Ant Hull recently caught up with Donnis to talk music, plans for 2010, his fashion game, and how he is definitely no longer the underdog.

Donnis dropped the first single, Gone, off of his new album yesterday.  Be sure to cop that shit via iTunes.  In the meantime, you can check it out below… Probably one of my favorite singles to drop this month.

I have quite a few pair of Vandal high tops from Nike, althoughI have always strayed away from the super shiny plastic looking colorways because they remind me of boxing shoes.  You know, the Muhammad Ali type float like a butterfly sting like a bee joints.  Not that I don’t think that a proper ass kicking deserves proper footwear, but seriously… not so sexy.

Enter, stage left: One fabulous pair of nicely contrasted purple, black, and white Vandals with a nicely contrasted white outsole, purple stitching and sole, and black piping that’s made out of the same boxing shoe like material.  Throw in an almost snake-like black and white print and, my friends.. we have a winner.

Finally, Nike, you made this shit work.  Kudos.
