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, ... Continue Reading
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 ... Continue Reading
N.E.R.D. + MTV Diary of & Pharrell’s advice to new artists
Published By Miss Rachel On Thursday, February 11th 2010. Under Exclusives, Spotlight Tags: MTV, N.E.R.D.
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 ... Continue Reading
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 ... Continue Reading
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 ... Continue Reading
The Empire + Lil Wayne :: The Drought is Over 7 (cover art)
Published By Miss Rachel On Monday, February 8th 2010. Under Mixtapes, Ridiculous Tags: Lil Wayne, The Empire
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:
Anyone who loves Jesus. This is currently 2.1 billion people worldwide.
Anyone who was in New York on 9/11/2001. I'm pretty sure they may ... Continue Reading
Fafi + adidas :: Spring & Summer 2010
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 ... Continue Reading
02.03.2010 :: earth to Weezy #2
Published By Miss Rachel On Wednesday, February 3rd 2010. Under Earth to Weezy Tags: Guicci Mane, Lil Wayne, Young Money
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 ... Continue Reading
U-N-I :: A Love Supreme 2.0 (trailer)
Published By Miss Rachel On Tuesday, February 2nd 2010. Under Spotlight Tags: Dj Hyphen, Ro Blvd., U-N-I
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 ... Continue Reading
X-Girl + Nike Blazer Mid
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 ... Continue Reading
Kendrick Lamar :: She Needs Me + I am
Can I be honest? I don't know much about Kendrick Lamar whatsoever. Here's what I do know:
The video above is dope.... except for knocking on tattooed women. Thanks, K.Dot.. errr.
I LOVE two-track videos. Love them... especially for new artists. Take notes.
It was obvious within the first 30 seconds - this ... Continue Reading
