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.
