ASHER ROTH "FAMILY MAN"

"Lucas never walked the Skighs if is wasn't for Darth Vader"

Mr. Roth brings us another track. Crazy beat with the unique quirky lyricism of Asher Roth. I hate to bring up Eminem while talking about Asher, but the way he tells this story in this song, as well as the hook, is kinda sorta reminiscent of Eminem's weird shit (once you listen to it, you'll see what I'm talkin bout). Don't get me wrong, I've always been somewhat of an Asher Roth fan though, and track is dope

THE "SKIGHPELICAN" TEE...MY FIRST LOOK IN PERSON

So if you haven't been peeping my blog, or the Fli Pelican blog, I recently did a collab with Fli Pelican...

Wait wait...let me be totally honest:

Nino hit me up a while ago and showed a design to me that he said I inspired. Upon seeing it, I had to come up with the name "Skighpelican", and as the rest is...well, I shouldn't have to go there, lol. Anyways, I'm glad to be a part of Fli Pelican history and really appreciate it. Hopefully, we can do another collab in the fall.

Anyways, got a package in the mail last weekend

Opened it up

BANG BANG

the name on the back seals it

Big shout-out to Nino and the whole Fli Pelican crew

JADAKISS FT. RAEKWON & GHOSTFACE "CARTEL GATHERING"

SKIGHWALKER SIGHTING: MYSPARTANTSHIRT.COM

I went to the MySpartanTshirt blog the other day and saw that I was featured in one of their posts. I know I know, I'm late on catching this...don't judge me, lol. I started reading the post and saw some major writing gems such as:

"If you haven’t heard of Cliff yet, you should get the hell off TMZ.com and stroll over to http://www.CliffSkighwalker.blogspot.com and suck on the breast of knowledge."

LOL! Classic...I'm not done though. This one was dope to me too:

"Hennnnnyways, as bunked as the economy is right now, we can’t all be like Hova and walk around with euros just to make a statement. You want financial savvy? You want stock options? Invest in some swag with MySpartanTshirt. We take most kinds of payment, except beer cans. Take yours to Willie and get your currency exchange. I’ll see ya at Ricks on Thursday Willie (dudes a regular)."

I was also knighted with a new nickname that I'm thinkin about rollin with momentarily. Anyways, I don't quote the entire post, so peep the rest of the post by CLICKING HERE

NIKE AIR MAX 95 BLACK/ELECTRIC LIME

The black-on-black upper paired with the subtle accents and 3M is money...these are dope.

LOG ON TO HIGH SNOBIETY AND WHAT DO I SEE

So after I did my 5:03 this morning, I went to sleep. I woke up, and headed to the caf for some breakfast. In the midst of making this delicious waffle that I had put together, I get a call from Rick. We chopped it up about school, MSU's bus system, and BR stuff among other things. Anyways, Rick told me that High Snobiety did a feature on the Burn Rubber custom G-Shock...So before studying for this exam I have to take, I logged on to High Snobiety and see this...



Very very ill...Thank you High Snobiety

Feels like I haven't done one of these in a minute...I dunno...I've been up, just haven't been on the comp...or I'll get on the computer, have a million things running through my mind, and get ready to do one of these, and then my mind will go blank...

Another thank you to Hypebeast for the feature on our Burn Rubber Custom G-Shock...if you've been living under a rock, you can peep the feature by CLICKING HERE

Big shout-out to Frank The Butcher.

Um....fuck snow...it's supposed to be Spring and it was snowing crazy yesterday...

Thanks to B.P.B, I now feel an urge to have some JOYRICH Sunglasses in my life...ASAP!!

Probably one of the funniest things I saw last week was a twitter account for Megan Fox's Thumb. *dead*

Shout-out to Emilio Sparks....he's the one that inspired that last random.

I gotta give another congrats to MSU for proving me wrong and winning this game. Kalin and Durrell whatupdoe! I already know Kalin is gonna call me and say "Well, I hate to say I told you so...." yeah yeah yeah, lol...

Can't wait for these Yeezys to drop. I hate Big Sean for gettin them early...LOL

TO all of my Burn Rubber fam: Can we come to a clear consensus on how to spell "Blahow"???? It's been irkin' me for a minute now, lol...

I love every girl in Electrik Red right now...they can do no wrong...I'm dead ass.

HUGE SHOUT-OUT TO FLI PELICAN on the collab...I'm gonna post the pics soon...

RAPPER BIG POOH "THE COMEBACK" (VIDEO)

N*E*R*D PREMIERES "SOLDIER" ON JIMMY FALLON

featuring Santogold & Lil Wayne...should be dope.

OH NOTHING'S SWEET ABOUT ME

Video: 17-year old Australian Singer Gabriella Cilmi preforming "Sweet About Me" on Jimmy Fallon.

Peep the bass player in the black-on-black Yankee fitted. No, that's not Mr. Cheeks, lol, that's my homie Ben Williams, bass player extraordinaire.

sidebar: I'll never forget I was in the Music Practice Building Lobby, waiting for my Music Theory class to start. Ben Williams, Rockelle Whitaker, and I just chillin, and Ben had his upright bass with him, and was foolin around, playing the upright bass on its side. We then got into a convo about Michael Jackson, and I was talkin about the song "The Girl Is Mine." This guy Ben proceeds to break out into the bassline, and I end up singing both Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's verses. It sounded dope as hell. I should've taped it, because it was pretty funny, but definitely shows that when you bring dope musicians together, even when we're just playin around, quality shit can occur. I digress...

Anyways, Ben WIlliams is probably one of the coldest musicians I've ever met. If he's ever in your town, I would encourage you to listen to what he's doing with this music...

Video: Keri Hilson ft. Lil Wayne - Turnin’ Me On (Jimmy Kimmel)

Now if I could just find the NERD performance from the jimmy fallon show last night I will be good....

SIDENOTE.....

I dont know if its the economy or people just not caring, but Beyonce, I mean SASHA FIERCE (SMH at that name) opened her world tour in Alberta Canada to a crowd of 8,000......which is not a big number if you were wondering....maybe if she changed her name back people would care about her horrible music.

TELL ME THIS IS NOT THE DOPEST BATHROOM EVER!!!!

So in my normal perusing of the interwebz I came across this dope bathroom. I know its a little bit off from the norm that we put on here, but all things considered its pretty dope. It has auto sinks and showers, voice activated temperature controls and a sink for your feet....I dont know why but add that to the super playerish demo feature where it changes color via LEDs and you have a bathroom that adds some swag points.
