MORE AMERICAN GANSTER

HERE'S SOME PROMO PICS FOR THE AMERICAN GANGSTER MOVIE & ALBUM

NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE ALBUM COVER, BUT IT DOES FIT THE CONCEPT, & IT DOES LOOK LIKE A THROWBACK OF "96" YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT...

MY 2 CENTS

WHY DOES NEO-SOUL & HIP-HOP SOUL GET A BAD RAP?, WHY DOES IT TAKE 5 OR MORE YEARS FOR AN SOUL ARTIST TO COME OUT (MAXWELL, D'ANGELO, DONELL JONES, LAURYN HILL) SOUL UNPREDICTABLE IS SOMETHING THAT'S NEEDED FOR A GENRE THAT HAS BEEN LABELED A "FAD" THERE HAS BEEN SOME ARTISTS THAT HAVE DONE WELL KEEPING THE GENRE ALIVE (JILL SCOTT, MOS DEF, ERYKAH BADU, COMMON & MARY J BLIGE TO NAME A FEW) HOWEVER THE VARIETY IS LACKING, THERES NOT MANY ARTISTS YOU CHOOSE AT A RECORD SHOP, MAYBE ITS JUST ME, BUT THAT TELLS ME THAT ONLY A SELECT FEW HAVE THAT "CRAFTSMANSHIP OR ART" TO MAKE THE NEO SOUL/ SOUL/ HIP HOP SOUL SOUND.

MCQ MEETS MAN CAT

DOES THAT CAT LOGO LOOK A LITTLE FAMILIAR? WELL IT IS THE CREATION OF ALEXANDER MCQUEEN, & HIS COLLABORATION WITH THE PUMA SNEAKER LINE. THE DESIGNS OF THE SNEAKERS APPEAL MORE OF OLDER DEMOGRAPHIC, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE MAN CAT CAN'T DELIVER THE SAME RESULTS AS PUMA.

I LOOKED AT THE LINE MYSELF OVER THE WEEKEND, THE SNEAKERS GO WELL WITH DRESS UP OR DRESS DOWN, (GREAT QUALITY DENIM OR LEATHER JACKET IS MUST COMBO WITH THE SNEAKERS)

MINORITY REPORT ROZZI DAIME

EROTICA, FREAKINESS & SOUND EXPLORATION = ROZZI DAIME

ROZZI DAMIE IS UNDERGROUND PERFORMER FROM CA, SHE DID A GUEST APPERANCE WITH THE SA-RA PARTNERS, "THE PREQUEL" THE HOLLYWOOD RECORDINGS,(GOOD MUSIC LABEL) HER SOUND CONSISTS OF AN R&B,HIPSTER & SOUL . SHE REMINDS A LITTLE OF ADINA HOWARD. SOME OF HER SONGS ON MY SPACE "STRIPPER & RIDE" ARE SEXUAL DRIVEN AND HAVE AN EROTIC TONE TO THEM, THAT SEPERATES HER FROM THE PACK OF LADIES OF THE MAINSTREAM. HOWEVER HER SOUND DESPITE BEING RACY TO SOME, HER REFRESHING HONESTY & AUTHENTICY TO HER MUSIC IS SOMETHING THAT IS REFRESHING TO THE INDY CIRCUIT. HER SONGS CAN BE HEARD FROM HER MYSPACE PAGE, HOWEVER MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT. (WONDERS WHY)

FAV TRACK - "SO SPECIAL"

LET'S GET BACK TO BASICS

LET'S GET BACK TO BASIC PEOPLE, A HEATHER GREY, BLACK AND WHITE TEE SHIRT CAN REALLY GO A LONG WAY IN THE MAN'S OR WOMEN'S WARDROBE, AND AA HAS FIGURED THAT OUT, IN LESS THEN 10 YEARS IT HAS BECOME A STRONG ENTERPRISE FOR BASIC TEES,SWEATER AND EVEN DOG WEAR... WOW. SOME UNDERRGROUND DESIGNERS HAVE MARKETED THERE ART WORK ONTO THE AA CLOTHING. ITS SWEETER THEN CANDY AND BETTER THEN CAKE INDEED...


but im not sure why the captured the photo of a black model in "blackface" the term black face originated back in the day when Vaudeville shows were all the rage (1880-1930) White entertainers (and later black entertainers) would often paint their faces with black makeup and proceed to caricature black people using hurtful stereotypes.

A LIFE IS MOS DEF

CHECKOUT THIS FUNNY CLIP ON BILL MAHER SHOW, I RECENTLY SAW SOME A-LIFE SNEAKERS, AND THEY LOOK GREAT, SOME OF THE DESIGNS ARE VERY CREATIVE. ALSO THE CLIP REMINDED ME THAT MOS DEF CD THAT CAME OUT BEFORE THE YEAR ENDED IN 06, THE CD WAS WAY OVERLOOKED, EVEN THE PRODUCTION WAS SO HURRIED, THE PRODUCT WAS STILL ENJOYABLE TO ME, BUT I KNOW THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES IN THE MUSIC GAME.
