NEW MUSIC : Jay Electronica - The Announcement (Feat. John F. Kennedy) )





My view is aerial
Your crew inferior
My crew imperial
Mc Killers
Milk & Serial
Get it?
Forget it.
You’ll still be connecting the dots with smoking holes in your fitted
Those that got it be all at the shows throwing fits
The light from the dynasty sign froze all of the critics and nary a soul got on they frog toes ribbit



Shhh…
Was the night before the coming
Sugar plum candy coated lines for the dummies
Decoded hieroglyphics in the shrines for the mummies
We ain’t illuminati but out eye is on the money
My minds on the scripture
It’s beautiful, i see every line on the picture
So when the leaves Russel and the cock Crowes winter just know that the Black Gods mingled a bit
Then the fingers got pricked
Then the single got picked
Man I’m living out my brain I don’t dream about shit.
If I say dream, I mean Dream, Fresh not Hampton
I got a date with destiny I’m definitely not cancelling

Romancing
The Stone
The Roc
The Throne
The Elegant Celebration sent tremors through every nation
The Stars aligned like cars at grand central station

Elevation
Yours Truly,
My duty in obligation: The newly appointed ruler who moved with no observation like W.D.
Say my name on a record, W.W.III
I’ll put you niggas in a box like the WB
Here’s a footnote on the Blueprint
Whoms fucking with We?
Yeah
Bad grammar
Widescreen panorama
Paranormal activity seen in the camera

So if you want that turmoil
I’ll twitter facebook YouTube worldstar you
Rap radar nah right 2dopeboy you
Your plans is foiled
Your guns is borrowed
We living in tomorrow
A tissue for your sorrows

Moore & Giles

Moore & Giles Americana Bison Messenger Bag
If you're a gentleman that carries a bag (messengers, briefcases or duffels etc...) you will appreciate the craftsmanship of this designer. Moore & Giles have been around since 1933 and their bags are made from some of the finest leathers the world has to offer. I'm a messenger & duffel bag carrier myself so when I saw the leather on these bags I was impressed. They have a rich worn vintage look that you don't see much anymore. Reminds me of something Indiana Jones would carry.

*FLASHBACK*: "Great Day in Hip-Hop"

12 years ago, when the staff of XXL magazine first thought of redoing the "Great Day in Harlem" shoot, they had no idea how successful it would be. The "Great Day in Harlem" photo, taken in 1958, brought together 57 jazz legends on the front stoop of 17 E. 126th St., a brownstone between Fifth and Madison Avenues, for an Esquire magazine piece. (The picture appeared in the January 1959 issue.)  XXL's historic recreation, had over 200 Hip-Hop artists flow over three stoops...





The shoot on Sept. 29, 1998 commemorated the 40th anniversary of Art Kane's famous photo of jazz greats such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, Count Basie, Thelonious Monk and Lester Young. It also honored the innovators of rap—a musical genre that has influenced popular culture as jazz did in its heyday.

Artists came from near and far, representing the past, present and future of rap music. A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Jermaine Dupri, Canibus, Fat Joe, Da Brat, Wyclef, Pras, Kool Herc, Grand Master Flash, Onyx, E-40, Mack 10, Crucial Conflict, Run-DMC, Slick Rick, Goodie MOB, Luke, Kool Moe Dee, Heather B, Paula Perry and members of Wu Tang Clan and Goodie Mob were all present.

Anna Sui Spring 2011 RTW

Anna Sui Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear

I think the relationship between a customer and her salesperson is a special one. Trust is very important to the union. As a salesperson I prided myself on being completely honest with my customers when suggesting looks and when giving my opinion on customers interests. My point is that whenever I needed that cute dress or top for a customer I could always count on Anna Sui. Her pieces were very feminine and sexy at the same time and along with great style & fit they were the perfect choices for that summer wedding, semi-formal company dinner, and just for a night out on the town.


But here she gives us a large dose of prints and prairie inspired frocks and accessories. The prints are bold and beautiful (yes i said that).


Enjoy...



Anna Sui please keep it coming...
