Welcome Back!!!

Been cool since elementary school.....

After a brief hiatus we've decided to bring back the site. Call it boredom or whatever you want but were back. Arizona is poppin right now people. Weve got the Redbirds in the Super Bowl, FBR (the Phoenix Open) and NBA All Star Weekend in a span of 3 weeks. I'll do my best to take some pictures because we will be everywhere. I think a site re-design is in order, so if youre nice on the graphics tip holler at the kid on here. In the mean time follow me on twitter.

Some EARLY 2009 Predictions:

1. Kid Cudi is gonna blow up.

2. Wale's album will be dope if his subject matter isn't sneakers, clothes etc.

3. People will be fighting and or shooting when the "Air Yeezy's" drop.

4. Max B will blow up also, dude is hilarious.

"The Symphony" is one of my favorite songs of all time. I bought this record when it first came out and my Dad played this track for days. Kool G Rap murdered this track, safe to say this is a classic.

now relax on your couch in your new Wal-mart socks that grandma gave you and your sweet sweater that could be used as a door mat... congrats..

Brace yourself and watch Bill Maher's "Religulous" movie...

The thing that kills me about this movie, and I guess religious people in general.. are the ones who can't answer the simple questions...
I can talk about religion all day(because there are no answers, and I love to argue), most people don't like to talk about it because most don't REALLY KNOW about 'The Word'... but yet they pretend they are 'holier than thou'...I just find it quite humoris....

I don't know much, but I know enough to know that most of it is pure bullshit...

This is paradise, I'm tellin' ya.

Seventy-five n' clear skies in december. A bucket plane flies over the waves with diddy's new cologne; I Am King. I'm in Miami bitch.

Shout out to Momo for the hospitality at the Flamingo, where aspiring waitresses go up and down the elevator. Get it up.

Buck 15 serving goose in the same clear small-wide plastic cups you get your ginger ale in on the plane. Bumpin like someone's living room and the dj's playing hits you forgot were hits.

Wet Willie's mixes the best drinks on the beach!

Walk down ocean past the carlyle and stop to grab a cubano and can't help it. "Don't he think we could've got some other space cadet to hit Rebenga cheaper, too? Fifty bucks!"

Nikki Beach is literally the bed to crash in after staying up all night, cause they'll never stop playing house music.

Trent did his thing at the mansion on saturday. Pretty textbook, but wasn't paying attention in class anyways.

4 am in the club and a remix of the following and well...

My first east coach beach experience enjoyed some focused people for a change. Even the bikinis seem motivated. Be a while before I relocate to anywhere that requires a northface bubble anytime soon.

Ps. If you don't like house music, stay away from miami bitch!

KellenJamn! LA Recap!

2008-12-09T17:52:00.000-08:00

Been out in LA wit Snoop and Dre for so long, I'm finna Crip Walk and put some muf$%#@^ khakis on...

Took a guerilla style day trip out to Cali with the homie Alex aka "Chico Hundreds". Heres a recap of my trip.
The real Black Superman.

Stopped by Supreme on Fairfax to get laced, picked up a few things from there. Good people at the shop, thanks to the homie Val for hooking us up.

Next was SLB which is one of the most underrated spots on the block. This is a "man's store" with dope product like vintage Levi's, decks and fedoras. If you dont know who SLB is youre sleepin. I'll let you do the homework on that.

While we were in SLB got a chance to chop it up with the mayor of Fairfax, Carter. This dude is one of the realest dudes ive got to talk to. From "Streetwear" (I hate that word), music, the state of culture etc. Carter is cool as hell, stop by SLB and get at him soon he wont be there for long.

Last we hit LAX for Banana Split. Met up with the homie Glenjamn! and it was a wrap after that. Banana Split started off slow but Scottie B got on and KILLED shit. Peep the pics of the night HERE, thanks for the hospitality Glen!

If you didnt know the homie Carter was the mastermind behind this....(he also spit on the last verse)

It's gonna be nice to lay on a full size couch and a big screen tv... it don't mean shit to you, I'm just day dreamin as I write this... but the simple things you miss while living overseas.. ugh!

So I've had my Macbook for about 5 months now, and just found out what the iMovie feature is.. and yeah, I'm on that shit tough now.. I'm gonna start doin some 'Daily Livin in Japan' shit shortly.. but in the mean time.. this is somethin that i just threw together with the videos I already had..

This is my boy who was livin with me while I was playing in Spain 2 years ago... We were gettin sloppy in the streets of Spain, right before I left to play in Finland.. Fuck Spain

These are my boys.. 2 grown men; mind you.. Wrestling with each other- hungover from the club the night before, and now gettin ready to hit up a pool party...
watch- so homo..

But really these are just some trial videos that I was messin around with while I was bored in my hotel room in Japan.. But I'm gonna try and get on my video grind and put together some shit out here in Osaka, cause I know most of yall won't ever get out this way... keep sleepin though..

You cant front, it was Dewayne's year in 2008. Thats why he leads everyone with 8 Grammy Nominations, whether you liked it or not everyone and their mom loves Weezy. My mom the other day said "I dont get why everyone loves Lil Wayne?".

Thanks ma! Her sons name is Kellen too!

A few things....

1. T-Pain was quoted as saying that Akon was a better hook singer than Nate Dogg. NIGGA!?!?!............

2. Plaxico! Before I hear anything else, understand my non-black people. There's a difference between NIGGAS and black people.

3. Kanye was #1 on the charts and he even said he had nothing to lose on this album. CRAZY!

4. Who's taking out the Lakers in the west? These dudes looked unreal the other night.

5. Did you see what Derrick Rose did to Andre Miller the other night????

..can't relate with me..

2008-11-27T00:20:00.000-08:00

My useless thoughts on 808's & Heartbreak-

'The anti-pop record' It's a good album... at best.. Yes- it's better than 90% of the cRap music that's out now.. But he's not your average rapper, he is one of the best ever, so of course I'm gonna be critical, I expect greatness. In my eyes, I think he is top 5 all time... say somethin

The auto-tune is a bit much, the songs start to blend after a while... Why is 80% of the album a sad love song about his ex-chick?

I'm surprised there wasn't a song dedicated to Donda..

Every time I listen to it, it gets better, like a fine wine...

But it's still missing that Anthem!! oh and I'm a firm believer that he needs to drop the Wayne and Jeezy features.

What happened to Lupe or Jay?

--------

2 of my favorite tracks off the album-

Street Lights-

If your out there grindin on the daily.. its a song you can get down too. We all think we deserve to be somewhere better. But for some reason we ain't made it there yet..

"I hoped in the cab, I paid my fare; see, I know my destination, but I'm just not there.."

RoboCop-

I can't lie.. I used to date a semi-robocop chick. Shit kinda turned me on..

Love the Stephen King 'Misery' reference, If you havnt seen the movie go rent it, cause that bitch was crazy like a RoboCop..

"Up late night like she on patrol, checkin everything like I'm on parol"

The Arab Parrot x Black Moon...this show wouldve been ill. Black Moon is one of my favorite groups of all time. Is there a better album than Enta Da Stage?

Suge Knight is suing Kanye. This dude is broke and trying to get some of that Kanye paper.

Peep the Fourstar site, then click on 'zine'. Some ill photos in there. Between Nom De Guerre and Fourstar my winter is lookin real nice.

10 Deep ripper Jamal Smith. I heard he used to be on Enjoi flow? Please put this dude on, he's nice on the stuntwood.

Nate Dogg is a monster, get well soon! Remember this?

Thoughts:
1. ESPN reported that Lebron is now 6'9 274lbs. Dude got bigger since hes been in the league, hes only 23.

2. Do you like/hate Kanye's new album? The Autotune isnt for everyone, this is I understand.

3. Are the "Cardiac Cards" the real deal?

4. Why is it November and I can still sit by the pool during the day and bbq? Gotta love AZ "winters".

Kanye feat. Lil' Wayne- Tell Everybody That You Know-

I dunno if its just me.. or am I just sick of Wayne? Maybe im sick of this auto-tune thing that everyone does now.. Could this also be the same reason why I'm not that excited about Yeezy's new album???

***Can someone tell me what the hell Weezy is talkin about in this song???

*** And some real Bloods talk about Fake ass Wayne and Jim Jones bangin..

Before the NBA season started I told everyone that ATL is gonna be that sleeper team out of the east- Joe Johnson is an obvious monster, but everyone forgot how ill Mike Bibby once was- Oh shit.. wait... this is his contract year, and you know what that means.. it's time to get busy and get another contract.. Not to mention Al Hortford who should of been rookie of the year last season.... There goin to the Eastern Conference finals....

And don't sleep on how valuable Chauncy is in Denver- this might be what Carmelo has been missing all along... Mind you.. I don't think they have enough to get past the Lake Show and CP3 and co... But don't sleep- Let's Talk About It...

If you wonder how Josh Childress is doin over in Greece with his $20 million contract, 12-free plane tickets, and a 3- story crib, check out ESPN's recent interview..

Mark my words, all this talk about Greece and Russia and which one will sign the next big NBA player- Its not gonna happen in Europe- It's gonna be CHINA player, and LeBron is the best candidate since he is already learning the Mandarin language, and wants to be the 'Global Icon'... China is next-

And to leave you with some funny shit Rome just posted.. I was dyin laughing when I read this... I need to try this on my Oregon State debit.. see if I still get any love at my Alma Mater..

Personally, I love "the making" of all kinds of things. Videos, beats, brands etc inspiration for days. Peep the mini series, Epicly Later'd is the illest!

World Premiere!

2008-11-05T23:10:00.000-08:00

My life has been full of the title of this post as of late. Timmy covers things well, "we need more bottles tell mommy hurry up!"

Damn, very sick that a crail board made it this far. Girl/Chocolate/Crailtap is the illest.

Joe Budden's youtube channel is the definition of comedy. As far as "Slaughterhouse" goes, Royce came off (pause pause pause) sorry Joe!

Speaking of Royce, remember this?

I hope everyone was able to watch Barack's Primetime Infomercial.. If you didn't catch it, please please watch this.. it's only 27 minutes out of your day.. It's well worth it- Trust-
He breaks down everything... and he murdered it.. Go VOTE!!!!

Ray Allen Player Exclusive XI's super fire... Must be nice to have that Jordan plug..

Wait.. what? The Suns beat the Spurs finally? Is Terry Porter what was missing? or does this win mean shit?

The realist Tattoo of all time.... hands down..

Kid Sister- Get Fresh

TwelveBar has some dope threads that I could use..

2008-10-27T19:08:00.000-07:00

Im far from high end, I just know what suits me...

Joe Budden- Halfway House. Joey is one of the only reasons hip hop is still relevant in my life.

Basic Vocab- Come get wit it...The music director on Entourage is on his J-O.

Inquiring Mind Buyers Buyble Fall 2008, CDG & NDG is gonna break me. They need to update more, easily the best site on the internet.

I agree Ari Gold has been killin' it. This past weeks Entourage was dope. Felt like the season ender instead of just a regular show. Models, The W Hotel? Im trying to get there Vinny Chase!

Noreaga- N.O.R.E. "Banned From TV" is a top 5 posse cut of all time.

The definition of buttery. I love the "fall" that we have here in AZ. Any excuse for hoodies and cardigans im all for it.

The Pickup Artist 2 was shot in AZ. This show is hilarious, the homie Dante is all about opening "sets" and I.O.I's.

Kid Cudi x Jay-Z, safe to say Kid Cudi has officially blown up. Mel's column is hilarious!

Capo "swagger jackin" (pause) Kid Cudi...

2008-10-20T20:31:00.000-07:00

The only thing I'll say about this song is CLASSIC. Anotha Level was dope, everything about the group was ill. All of these new west coast cats show love to cats who paved the way. I call them the "Fairfax Rappers" Dom Kennedy, Pac Div etc. No diss, I like some of those dudes but this group did it first. And my favorite group of all time....

I miss west coast hip hop.

A-Trak around the world pt ii. This time he visits Osaka, Nick give us some time we'll get there.

DJ AM is back and did a show with Jigga. Peep Ben Baller's blog for the Jay-Z show and his welcome back party.

More video of the welcome back party can also be seen on Glenjamn's Veoh Channel. After seeing all these shows Im making it a priority to get out to LA monthly.

This Comme des Garcon Cardigan is so mean. The price tag isnt, if I can find it consider it copped.

I went here last night. Two words: Koston RIPS! Dont sleep on Malto or BA either.

If you dont like Kanye's singing and autotune dont bother picking up his new album. Read a review from his album listening party.

This is currently getting burn in the iPod!

I'm losing my head..

W- the movie of George W Bush- Directed by Oliver Stone.. I'm not in America right now so this could be blasted all over the tv already, but it looks like an interesting flick..

When George Meets Laura- "I'm not gonna ask for your vote, just your number"

------------

I was doin a bit of shopping this weekend, picked up some new denim, but thats beside the point.. I came across this new brand.. Cocolo.. They have alot of dope shit, and they are Osaka exclusive brand.. They did some collab's with XLarge, and if i didnt need a XXL, I would of picked up a couple shirts.. But everything in Japan is hella small.. So I'm left window shopping...

... and did you catch Britney's new video.. all naked like... you still would.. just sayin...

...Personal.. Life ain't no rehearsal...

This has been on every blog but this is hilarious. The most professional use of the word "pause" EVER! Gus Johnson is 100% class for doing this.

Life in Osaka

2008-10-10T03:35:00.000-07:00

Little update on how I'm livin in Japan..

What can I say?Life is good out here! I’m living in a 2 bedroom apartment and the doorways are a mear 5 feet high, which makes it awesome when you have to wake up at 4am to relieve yourself, or during those intoxicated nights when you forget they are 5 feet high.

When people ask me about Japan they usually start with the question “how is the food” and I tell them, its Oishii! Which means delicious in Japanese(yeah my Japanese is niiiice). We have a lot of American food out here, and Osaka is known as the "nation's kitchen. Of course we have McDonalds. But we also have Wendy’s(late night frostys!!), Subway, Pizza Hut, Hard Rock Cafe, and my 'go to' Outback!! We even have an American dude who's from Ohio, who owns his own Pizza shop downstairs from my apt which is crutial cause I get way to lazy to cook some times..
Yes I do cook.. and I’m kinda nice in the kitchen! When your overseas you find out how creative your cookin skills can get.. A young Bobby Flay if you will..

So as you can tell- food is not a problem out here.... And if your wondering about Japanese food... Yeah, im not a huge fan, mostly because I don’t get down with seafood to much, besides Scrimp and Crab... But my favorite Japanese ‘cuisine’ would be Shabu Shabu (Chang and Josh you know what’s up) or Sukiyaki.. To break it down.. It’s pretty much boiling meat in a little bit of water and sweet sauce, with a gang of vegetables and rice.. oh and a raw egg.. which is the best part.. I was scared of raw egg my first time too.. But its crack, and I can’t get enough now..

TV shows get me thru my days out here... I just started watching Dexter, arguably the best show on TV right now... In a close second, Califorincation.. Besides that, finishing Weeds which is also crack... Seems like HBO has fell off hard, Entourage constantly lets me down after every episode.. Ari is the sole reason I continue to watching.. Come on Doug Ellen, step your writing game up!

The time is now!!! It’s official.. The season starts tomorrow 11th. We open the season on the road @ Shiga, and please believe were ready to get in that ass(no homo) and show them what Osaka is about. Were on a mission: 4 peat!!! Simple as that, anything less would be a disappointment... I’ve never won a championship in my life, and I’m trying to change that this season... (I wasn't on the team the previous 3 championships)

Get your passport game up, and get some stamps in it. Come visit...

If you never leave your hometown, you never get a chance to embrace other cultures and people. There is so much to see around the world...

Think Globally, Not Locally...

Homecoming

2008-10-08T18:39:00.000-07:00

Ok, start with straight shots and then pop bottles...

Rome came back to AZ for his high school reunion. Besides that we went out to hear every DJ that was in town for the weekend. Some people go to Cheers to feel like theyre at home, we go to Suede on Fridays. A few bottles later Steve1der had everyone on the dancefloor, dude is dope!

We did it big last night @ Dirty Pretty. It was Rome's last night in town and Fashen's birthday party! DJ OB-one was on the wheels also last night and dude did his thing. All in all we had a beautiful night and epic weekend! Shout out to everyone that was involved!

"'Anyone who's wondering if there's a recession should stop wondering,' said Nigel Gault, U.S. economist for Global Insight....

--If the recession lasts from December 2007 until April 2009, as Gault suspects it will, it would be the longest since the Great Depression."

• 760,000 jobs have been lost this year.

• The job losses are picking up steam, not losing it: 159,000 jobs were lost in September.

Our official season starts in 11 days though.. The team is lookin real solid, it should be an interesting year...

Osaka City is a dope with somethin goin down almost every night.. Tryin to get out as much as possible "CAN'T SLEEP ON LIFE"...

I went to see Steve Bug on the tables last weekend.. No clue who he was, but he put it down.. I'm really juiced for Oct 17th though.. Gan-Ban Night is gonna crack- Crookers, Basement Jaxx, Justice, and DexPistols = Epic Night!!!

Steph your time is over as a Knick. Dude is one of the biggest cancers in sports. It'll be interesting to see who takes a chance on him.

Damn, Jonathan Bender is outta the League but dude is making moves. These stories rarely turn out like this, good for him. Wow @ dude only being 25, thats crazy.

Some thoughts for AM and Travis through A-Trak. This whole story still blows me away. I got the chance to see AM twice a few months ago. I got to meet and see Travis Barker last summer, both super cool and talented dudes. Next to a few artists I think these dudes are the most important people in music right now.

Everybody, move ya feet and feel united ohhhhhhhh....

So the man pictured above got to meet Seinfeld. The Picture About Nothing is a funny story. I like the Seinfeld x Bill Gates commercials even though nothing is fuckin with Macs.

I'm heavy on the skate links folks, but when Koston puts up The Berrics footage I have to. With these gas prices you might wanna grab a fun stick (pause ) and get busy.

The h(y)r collective blog, this is a daily read for me. I love the design aspect and insight they give you.

With baseball season about to get good and the football season just starting I watch hella tv shows. Besides Entourage, Mad Men is my shit right now. In a tough situation I ask myself what would Don Draper do? On Demand saves lives!

Be Yeezy, this is REALLY sad. Get your own steez people wow!

A few things....
1. I HATE TI's new single "whatever you like", ugh!

2. 90's Hip Hop and Electro/Club/House run my iTunes.

3. Arizona Cardinals fans I'm happy too, but its early in the season.

4. OJ Simpson just sit down, your black ass is gonna get buried under the jail. 9 felony charges???

Charles Gibson interview with Sarah Palin---- This interview has to put fear in your eyes if your thinking about voting for the "Mavericks"

"Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?"... "In what respect Charlie?? His world view?"...Haha.. I can't believe this lady, does she know anything about our government/politics? Wow, things get more and more interesting every time I wake up and check the news.

"Why did the hijackers hit the towers"? her answer- Freedom?? wait.. arn't we past that? Didn't Bush already say it wasn't because we are a Free thinking society.

This lady is gonna be our next VP?? Ohhh Lord... were in trouble.. Do you think she can actually look at Vladimir Putin in the face? The only other country she has been to is Canada and Mexico... This can't be serious.. Let's go Hockey Mom's!!

Please watch this video.. maybe on repeat.. Gibson should be our VP the way he shit on her...

Epic summer that will go down as the best summer of my life!!!
