NIKE ALPHOLUTION SUPREME TF - G.I. JOE PACK "COBRA COMMNDER"

Haven't seen the Alpholution in a minute. It's dope that Nike brought this silhouette into the light with the G.I. Joe Pack, which is supposedly dropping at Quickstrike accounts across the country, which means that you can catch these at Burn Rubber fairly soon. This colorway is nice too.

BIG SEAN IN XXL

The homie Big Sean has a dope article in XXL. worth the read. Click the pic to enlarge it.

RICK ROSS FT. TRIPLE C'S & MAGAZEEN "YACHT CLUB (REMIX)"

Visuals to my 2nd favorite song off of Deeper Than Rap ("In Cold Blood" is my first)

PACIFIC DIVISION "THE MAYOR"

this record is so reminiscent of late 80's/90's West Coast/LA hip-hop to me, when a dope beat laced with perfect delivery was all you need...the visuals are illy too.

BLOCNOTES "EEN IJIN"

For those of you that don't know, Koen from Blocnotes is producing most of OhShitRoSpit's (Ro from Burn Rubber) album, which is coming very soon...Even though this is in a language that most of you won't understand, the beat is still cold. And see if you can peep the Burn Rubber 5 panel hat in there as well...

MAESTRO KNOWS - TOUR EDITION (EPISODE 4)

Can't wait till I make my trip to NYC this summer...who's rollin with me???

THIS IS MY SHIT!!!

Video: Matt and Kim "Daylight"

Attention Rappers who want to get shine and/or more shine then they have at the present moment: you might want to see how you can use Matt and Kim to your advantage, whether you do a song with them, or spit a verse over "Daylight." Any rapper who does either of those things needs to cut me a check immediately. Thank you and You're Welcome. Don't say I didn't give you a heads up either.

DJ STEPH FLOSS 100TH VLOG

The homie @djstephfloss just put out his 100th vlog, which is somewhat of a way for those of you to catch on what you've been missing from the first 99 vlogs. Steph Floss whatupdoe!

NIKE WMNS CLASH PACK

Nike did their thing on this pack just for the fly ladies out there. This pack features the Blazer High, Aero Flight High, and Court Force. The combination of colors and patterns is really dope. I know a lot of guys are mad that these are for the ladies. Hopefully they make these up to a women's size 12, lol.

GOTTA GET HER OUTTA MY HEAD, AND GET ON WITH ME

Video: Anjulie "Boom"

I love shit like this. The lyrics are so dope, and the instrumentation to this record is crazy! I've been listening to this song a lot the past couple of weeks. Her voice is so sexy to me. I dunno what it is about this video either, but I get damn near hypnotized watching it...maybe I just have a small crush on Anjulie right now...LOL yeah, that's probably it.

CROOKS & CASTLES X VANS MODA HI

First off, thanks to everybody who participated in my live chat. I appreciate it...

This Fans Moda Hi definitely caught my eye. The textured striped patterns and leather on the upper ankle are a win...be on the lookout for these Spring 2010.

AIR JORDAN SPIZIKE BLACK/VARSITY RED SPRING 2010

Looks like Jordan Brand took the road most cliche-ishly traveled and took a colorway from one of their classics and threw it on the Spiz'ike. This isn't dope to me...at all actually. Just give me the Bred IV and keep it movin...yes please, thank you & you're welcome.

AIR JORDAN VI RETRO WHITE/BLACK SPRING 2010

Here's a simple black/white colorway of the Air Jordan VI, which will drop next year. The speckled accents on these are perfect. For those of you that don't know, 2010 is gonna be the year of the Air Jordan VI, a favorite on many. I really hope JB doesn't OD on the VI and make it wack (which would be very hard to do...)


CLIPSE FT. KANYE WEST "KINDA LIKE A BIG DEAL" (VIDEO)

5:03 AM RANDOMS



I find myself sittin at the computer this morning feelin as if I'm in one of the most lukewarm moods I've ever been in my life...eeeeh, whatever...let's go

I've been lovin this summer so far, but not satisfied with the moves that I've been making. I have so much shit to improve upon and it seems as though it's overwhelming at times...

Not gonna lie, I was kinda surprised by how aggy some of y'all got about some things in that last 5:03...like everything I wrote was about one person......pshhhh! Pardon me I HAD to laugh at that.

to Charles Hamilton: YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT...Marv ether'd you... that is all

One of my pet peeves is when people hype up everything they're around/doing like it is thee dopest/illest/any other adjective that allows the usage of -est or most in front of it...shit's uber weak

^some people use too many superlatives too, lol...

Yo FF, what's good on this party this weekend???? I'm trynna join the Yacht Club!!!!!

Rock The Bells this weekend too...the after party is gonna be crazy!!!

My Father's Day was dope. I was gonna do a separate post about this, but I figure I'd do it now. After work at BR, I went over to my Pops crib to chill for a bit. Lemme go back to one moment where I touched upon how certain music brings up certain emotions in people. For example, I'll never forget the first time I sat down and listened to the John Coltrane/Johnnie Hartman album in its entirety.....wow....anyways, one track that gets me is Lupe Fiasco's "He Say She Say." Parts of that song represented the way that I used to feel about my dad many years ago, & still get to me no matter how many times I listen to that song. I remember a couple weeks back being in the car with this person that I've been feelin for a minute, and when that song played I couldn't help but talk about how I felt about that song...fast forward to Father's Day, talked to Pops about it too...really dope convo btw. Not to mention my dad is the biggest low-key Mike Posner/Big Sean fan too, lol...

KOBE shitted!

Since I'm on the topic of sports, kinda bummed about the Red Wings...would've been dope if they got that W...oh well

I'm so zombie mode right now, and I've played THIS over 20 times just now, and at this particular moment, it's somehow so funny to me...

Got an uplifting call from big bro the other day...I needed it too. I hate dwelling or even mentioning my lows, b/c nobody likes people like that....you know the types: complaining about shit goin on in their lives when they're clearly in a position that others perceive as 'dope' in their life at that moment. It's calls like that where I see who's really lookin out for my best interest out here in this fucked up world

Shout-out to Deezle's Dad Kevin...Hope your leg feels better fam!!!

Remember that there's 2 sides to every story.

Shout-out to all the customers that come to Burn Rubber on the weekends. It's really good to see you all...especially the certain people that stop by primarily to kick it with me during the weekends. Y'all are the best I swear! I know sometimes I'm in there and it may seem like I'm not paying attention to you all, but just know that I feel blessed that y'all stop by to spend time with me.

You can't curse one who's blessed...

I psych myself out sometimes into thinking that specific things are becoming unattainable to me. Wishing shit could just work out in some cookie-cutter, happily ever after, fantasy type way...lol, not really, but I do at the same time. SEE YOU AT THE CROSSROADS EATIN BALONAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! LMAO!!!! (Bone Thugs N Harmony reference... anyone catch it??? anyone??? Bueller???)

Sprinkle Me, Sprinkle Me, Sprinkle Me, Sprinkle Me, Sprinkle Me, Sprinkle Me, Sprinkle Me, Sprinkle Me, Sprinkle Me, Sprinkle Me, Sprinkle Me, Sprinkle Me

Once again, shout-out to Maestro & BJ...that was a real good look.

Aight, I gotta wake up early to box... might go up to Ann Arbor later today.....stay tuned

ADIDAS ORIGINALS BY ORIGINAL KAZUKI KBALL MID

These caught my eye on the 'Beast...had to post them. One reason why I love these is the way that Kazuki uses high quality clean leathers. the dopeness of this shoe completely outshines my shoe pet peeve (all-white midsole). Be on the lookout for these in August.
