Nike Women’s Dunk Boot + Wale

Dear Nike, Thanks for finally dropping a women’s Nike boot.  As appreciated as it may be, the excessive use of pink (even in the black colorway) brings nausea and some basic ass female shit.  Who needs pink Dunk boots?  If you’re rocking this and you’re out of high school, please seek psychological help. As a [...]

Dealz Makes Beats :: Popular Lemonade remix

PopularLemonade needed a theme song.  As soon as the video dropped for Gucci Mane‘s Lemonade, a remix was needed without Gucci Mane‘s annoying ass voice. If I could give Dealz a cape and super powers, I would.  He came through with a super proper Lemonade flip (including a DWYCK sample, which is obviously fathers PopLemon‘s [...]

Kanye West :: Coldest Winter (video)

The latest video release from Kanye West‘s 2008′s 808s and Heartbreak is two things:  weird and Kanye-less.    Perhaps this is his final step out of his own ego prison and into the light of an artist?  In all honestly, 808s has remained one of my favorite ‘Ye albums ever because of it’s realness, lack of [...]

Edouard Salier :: Nike Woman & Massive Attack :: Splitting the Atom

Commercials are super cheesy.  Honestly, television and mass media isn’t my cup of tea, but I was super impressed with the commercial below that director Edouard Salier has released for Nike Woman just days after the video project, Splitting the Atom dropped for trip hop duo Massive Attack.  A lover video projects (you can check [...]

2010 Red Bull Thre3Style Competition (Denver)

Here’s what I really dig about Red Bull: they have been supportive at all sources of music from the dj to the producer and back around to the traditional party rocker.  The format for the 2010 Red Bull Thre3Style competition is unique and intriguing – djs have fifteen minutes to mix three different genres of [...]

Ayomari :: The PB&J Solution

Ayomari is dope.  I can’t really say enough or even justify how much I’ve rocked this album since it was released a few days ago.  I’m impressed.  Truly, a solid effort featuring production by heavy-hitters Just Blaze and Large Professor (and PopLemon‘s 2009 best mixtape award winner, Cook Classics) and also guest emcee spots by [...]

U-N-I + Miguel :: Lately

‘Lately‘ has been on the iPod for a week or so now, and I wasn’t sure if I liked it at first listen.. or second, for that matter.  Like all great songs, it grew on me and all of a sudden, my Last.fm scrobble count was weighted towards this track, which was leaked in honor [...]

Women’s Nike Dunk High Premium :: Grey + Blue + Yellow & Black + Purple + Pink

Gradients.  I love them.  In fact, I own the purple colorway of the newest Nike Dunk High Premium‘s which was an addition to the collection.  I rocked them with a snakeskin dress and handmade earrings (shouts to GrittyVelvet and The General aka my favorite stylist) and more tequila than I care to remember.  I will [...]

N.E.R.D. + MTV Diary of & Pharrell’s advice to new artists

I’ve been bumping N.E.R.D.‘S first album, In Search of… for a solid month straight.  I just can’t keep it off of the iPod whatsoever… It’s all I want to listen to lately, for some reason.  My friends are sick of hearing it, but somehow it sounds so much better to me now then when it [...]

Women’s Nike Big Nike High :: Valentine’s Day 2010 (pink flash/white & varsity red)

If there’s anything similar to a Grinch around Christmas time, I’m that around Valentine’s Day.  It’s not that love isn’t a priority or even important, but it’s the concept that spending a shitload of money on a bunch of things that are completely overpriced (flowers?  Seriously?) seems ridiculous.  I’ve always said, “just buy me a [...]

Sade + The Today Show

If there’s one artist who has continually rocked my playlists over the past 25 years (outside of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and a select few others), it’s Sade.  I had an advance peak of her latest album, Soldier of Love (in stores & available via iTunes today) a few weeks ago and fell in love [...]
