Rocawear the Sneaker



Im so torn on these.. truth is I would never rock them but Im not mad, they are kinda hot... I guess it depends on what the goal was.. If it was to get into the malls of america (which is where the money is) then I get it.. But if this was an attempt to get into the "sneaker game" theres little chance... I love Jay but Rocawear is still stuck in the Ecko, Akademics, Sean John soup, might of been smarter to create an offshoot brand that can stand on its own.. Also while these are clean they look like any number of Clae or Supra joints that have been out for months..

Eminem + Marvel Comics = Kill You: Eminem and the Punisher




With Eminem recently re-entering the Hip-Hop world thanks to an upcoming May 19th album drop titled Relapse, Marvel Comics’ latest real-life to comic book transformation features the notorious Detroit lyricist as he teams-up with the super hero synonymous with heavy artillery, The Punisher. The comic by Fred Van Lente and Salvador Larroca features the synopsis “Who’s killing whom? With Punisher, Slim Shady and Barracuda all armed to the teeth and gunning for each other, expect plenty of bullets, blood and betrayals in PUNISHER/EMINEM: KILL YOU” which can be read in its entirety online through Marvel.

I AM DJ AM



I took this post from paulrosenblog.com which is a site you should be checking out for 2 reasons.. 1 its good and 2 its run by one of the smartest people i know in the business... On to AM.. he started his new gig at Rain in Vegas which means he collected yet another big ass check for doing what he loves.. Hes the one and only reasons my wife and I EVER go out anymore...

Eminem 3AM uncensored video...Mom dont watch


Ok this is what having a set of balls looks like... Who else could get away with this shit... Syndrome shot this video and killed it!! (pun intended)--- sure its over the top but thats what art looks like sometimes and hip hop has been stuck in quicksand for waaay too long visually.. I think this shit is brilliant and hopefully inspires other artists to start looking outside the box they are sitting in....

Deep thought

I always seem to hit a crossroads with this site since my opinion and point of view isn't the muscle I want to flex anymore.. In fact real strength would come from letting go of my commentary and seeing the similarities as opposed to exploiting the differences.. That's the person that left me hungry and unfulfilled.. A false sense of opinion entitlement or even worse a conviction that I somehow have the answers for others to follow.. Its a scary slope for me and one I would rather leave behind. There's no growth or strength there although my ego obviously thinks otherwise.. I now know without a doubt that the stronger my point of view the less I'm alive. Sure that goes against what a lot of people believe at their core, its usually twisted into some type of honor or pride as if we are stuck in our own version of "Braveheart." Our "story" owns us and many cling to it until we die.. We blame our heritage or our geography, our religion or our parents but in the end its all a copout and a filter that blocks out life as it actually is.. Before this is taking the wrong way, Im not saying its bad to have opinions or points of view, thats called being human.. what i am saying is, for me at least, its bad when the opinions or points of view HAVE YOU. Only you can know the difference..
I feel myself evolving and its amazing to be able to acknowledge what doesn't fit anymore without mental noise stifling the growth.

Classic Em.. This is why hes better than you

DJAM + Travis Barker + Coachella = Record Companies scratching their heads



These 2 together are about as genius as it gets.. both are ridiculously talented and are doing shit in a way that feeds kids the way they wanna be fed nowadays... Problem is what they do is almost impossible to sell commercially because of publishing issues...

Im breaking a major rule here

I have a long standing rule of never bringing Andy Milonokis into my life in any way.. Something just aint right with him. Is he 12? 57? Is he funny? Annoying? Animal, Vegetable or Mineral?
Anyway this shit is actually funny and sums up my take on Twitter.. I predict that 6 months from now being "private" will be cool again..

Nike.. I love you again... (today)




I feel like Ive been beating up on Nike lately but its only out of love..... today they reminded me of why Im a lifer.. These are SICK. Im 100% in.
Nike Lunar Lite Plus

Eminem Back in the Day (97)


Im down to have the conversation about the best rapper ever but to even have an argument about best lyricist is futile.. Nobody is on the same planet as Marshall.

This is NOT HELPING!!!


First off I stole this picture from Shanepowers.com which is my go to daily site.. Secondly I wholeheartedly apologize for posting a penis on thephuckery but this shit has to stop immediately.. As you know Im a huge yoga supporter and am on a personal mission to change its standing among the people who live outside of the coasts.. Well this shit isnt making that job any easier.. Try explaining to this to my uncles in Philly!! Go ahead I dare you.. Cmon fellas keep your fucking pants on, I dont care if it gets you closer to the "light." Knock it OFF

Spring is here!


Thats it. nothing more. Just appreciating it.

Next on the Nike Obituary: The Blazer


Dear Nike,

Will you please stop running through the classics like that Jamaican dude at the Olympics.. I am a sneaker guy, I am your demo.. Stop shitting on the core of the brand.. Please. There isnt much left to fuck up. Im the guy who wanted a Nike Swoosh on my grave and it might be time to re evaluate.

Fact

I miss my family... been in Detroit too long..

Thought for the day



Are eggrolls just Chinese Hot Pockets?

Dear Obama


Dear Obama,
With all the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Fox News stuff going on I wanted to let you know that I have your back. In fact I am 100% ok with you raising my taxes for the betterment of our country.. Lord knows I was one left turn away from laying sod for a living. I have no idea why things worked out for me but I know most people will never get the opportunities that were put in front of me. Life is too short for all the bickering and I appreciate your drive to get what you got elected for done. Sure you will always be up against those who refuse to evolve but the good news is that their numbers are dwindling. Its become more entertainment than movement.. Stay focused.. Im in...

Ok thats enough.. Im calling bullshit



I almost fell for this whole slip on converse thing when it started, mostly because I was prime for a new vibe after the whole Nike Air Force One fiasco... After seeing this become a flagship for the Abercrombie and Fitch crowd, its time to call bullshit.. a sure sign of this is Ed Hardy has jumped into the slip on converse game.. that is a reverse magnet.. Run for your lives

Deep



The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley just might be the coolest most insightful, brilliantly written thing I've ever read. It basically chronicles his experience with mescalin and how it changed his perception of reality.. Whats cool for me is you can basically replace meditation for mescalin (funny but true) and he nails it. Ive always been fascinated by consciousness and our extremely limited and narrow view of the entirety of it all and this is a bullseye for me..

Hello Im Glenn Beck and Im still a dick.

heres some of his awesomeness

Weight.



Im not a scale guy but i went for it today in my hotel gym in Detroit and by my calculations Ive lost 8 pounds since that "artist" told me I looked fat! Man Im trying... I cant be the fat guy.. My wife has gotten in the best shape of her life since we got married and I ate a bunch of tacos.. No more.. Im motivated!!

Legalize it!


ok enough already.. we are all adults right? so lets get past the reefer madness and legalize marijuana. I dont need some 80 year old congressmen telling me about the perils of weed while his entire family is mired in alcoholism. Im not an expert in much but I know a little something about pot. And im in the record business which means I have a masters degree. Bottom line is marijuana isnt the devil dragon its made out to be, and for alot of people its their glass of wine at the end of the day. The good news is there is no domestic violence on weed, very little crime, and literally zero crying about something that happened years ago. When I was in Amsterdam I saw the contrast first hand.. On one corner there was the "pot" bar where people sat and had quiet conversations, said hello as I walked in, (in fact some random guy offered me his seat) and had an overall peaceful feeling.. (Not in some hippie woodstock way, in a real way..) On the other side of the spectrum, one block away was the typical alcohol bar.. out front their were 2 "frat boy" types wrestling on the pavement.. One had a bloody lip and the other was screaming about some type of soccer game... Inside was a mess, loud testosterone filled mayhem, it reeked of potential date rape.. strong words but thats what it was.. Point is for those who are convinced pot is a gateway drug or a one way ticket to hell, get over it.. its neither, that is all up to the individual, just like it is for alcohol... For many its a relief from the stresses of life, especially now.. For others its an actual pain reliever.. to argue against its use for medicinal purposes is ludicrous. It works. Its sad i can go to a doctor right now and get a prescription for vicodin, norco, valium and xanax and wind up in rehab but marijuana is bad..
Its time to grow up... Bob Marley had a point

Beneath it all lies the glory, the infinite value and meaningfulness of naked existence, of the given, unconceptualized event. Where there is an obscure knowledge that All is in All and All is Each.

Detroit, What?



Someone forgot to tell Detroit that Spring is here.. apparently the memo was lost.. Im here for a video shoot and apparently its going to be 34 degrees tomorrow night.. 34 degrees!

Ive given Detroit a hard time in the past but with everything going on lately you cant help but root for it.

Attn Fox News Tea Party Anti-Tax Protesters



For those of you getting ready with your "God Hates Obama" posterboards for the big anti tax day tea parties on 15th I have some incredible news!!! Guess what? 99% of your are NOT gonna have your taxes raised.. in fact you will be paying less... Now for the limited few that will be paying more (Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, etc) you will be paying the same rate you were under the Ronald Reagan administration (your Michael Jordan)...

Now what are you protesting again?

You gotta give the Republican party credit, they sure know how to fool them into believing anything...
