Blakroc

In what seems to be trying times in my life, I can always turn to hip-hop to help me get through it. Here's something that's pretty interesting which just dropped a few days ago. I have yet to give it a listen but I will be doing this very soon.

Edit:

This song is amazing.

BET Hip Hop Awards Cyphers

So I didn't actually watch this this year? Why is that? I actually watched it last year just for the hell of it, and I didn't know they had cyphers in it, which was actually the best part, so here's the cyphers from the 2008 and 2009 Hip Hop Awards via Youtube.

Moscot: A Pioneer In Eyeware

Moscot is actually the first brand that got me into actually thinking about these things that I have been wearing on my face since I was in the first grade. I've recently thought about getting a new pair of glasses as well for a few reasons. Though I think that getting my first pair (Hesh's) was a good idea since I really do like them, but I went about it in a very half-assed manner. I didn't get them very well fitted, and as a result, the temple length is too big and thats why they always seem to be falling from my face. Because of this I was thinking about getting another pair from a different designer, (Shuron being my second choice after Moscot) but I think Instead I'll just go the distance and make sure my next pair will be exactly what I want, something that will fit me well, both physically and my style. The reason I actually got to thinking about this again was also because I stumbled on a video about Moscot on Hypebeast that was done by Complex Magazine and I think it's great that this brand is getting some spotlight that it deserves.





(Sorry for such a half-assed and rushed post. I'll be sure to do a more extensive update on eyeware once I finally make a decision on what I get next.)

The Tao of Wu

As you may have already figured out from previous blog posts, I am a pretty big Wu Tang fan. OB4CL pt 1 and 2, Liquid Swords, 36 Chambers, and Supreme Clientele are some of my favorite albums, so its no wonder I'm waiting to check out this book. Although I should have ordered or gotten my copy already, I'm putting off reading this book until after my Biology Exam Friday, because I'm pretty sure I won't be able to put it down. What I'm talking about is RZA's latest book, The Tao of Wu.

Here's a video that was on The Colbert Report featuring the RZA via Worldstarhiphop.com




Hopefully I'll be getting into this book by next weekend.

October 8th, 2009: APC update

So I've washed these around August, so I'm updating with pictures of how they're coming along.
I've had them for around 14.5 months, first soak around a year, but recently I got caught in them in a torrential downpour and they were completely soaked, I guess that could count as another soak.















Theyre starting to look a lot more like I wanted them to be, so that's pretty cool. The upper leg has a bit of fading and it looks great contrasting with the rest of the darker indigo.

You never know what you'll find

So Saturday I decided to hit my friend David up and go to the city, randomly. Luckily for me, there was a blockwide sale on just a bunch of used stuff from a store on the block (sorry the name of the store is slippin my mind, it might come to me later). Anyways I started collecting records after getting my first one at a thrift store, and at this block it was 5 records for 1 dollar! How crazy is that? Also if the record was a set of records (ex: The Firm album I got was 4 records) counted as one, so that was def cool.





Theres some Biggie, Jay, Nas, Q-tip, Mobb deep, etc in there.

Also at Uniqlo I was able to take a few things off my hitlist, a blue oxford and a brown scarf. Luckily they have a few other items I need so I'll have to pay them a visit in the near future.



David and I stumbled upon the store (Miz Mooz lolll) on Broadway, so I went back and got some Sand Wallabee's I've been wanting for a while for 50 bucks! Pretty good price considering the retail is 120 on them.



Random Shots of stuff on the walls of NY as usual.






We ended the day in Flushing, meeting my friend Edgar and getting some Left 4 Dead in. This was HILARIOUS when I walked into a bathroom in the Dead Air level, and moved my flashlight over the urinal, to see a dead zombies head in the toilet. Sounds like Julian was gettin some partying in before the infection.



(And yes I stopped playing during an incoming attack just to take this picture)

Anyways that's it for now. Hope all is well with everyone. Piece and Love.
