Artistic Spotlight: Janelle Monae

It's official, I have a sick and immoral attraction to Janelle Monae. Janelle Monáe is an alternative, soul, futuristic, and rock performer and singer. Originally from Kansas City, Kansas she was first featured on the "Purple Ribbon All-Star's Compilation 'Got Purp' "?

She is currently signed to indie record label The Wondaland Arts Society/Bad Boy Entertaintment.

Diddy calls her, "His most important signing ever." Damn.

...and her choreography/footwork is CRAAAZY

Wallets by Comme des Garcons!!

I personally feel like accessories without question complete a persons outfit. The little things you put effort into such as a belt the right hat or even a wallet or what help define a persons style. While surfing the web earlier I came across some dope wallets that I just had to share. Comme des Garcons recently dropped a set of Letter/Number wallets which really caught my attention. Check the pics below....

(Personally Im feeling the black one most.)

Many colors to choose from.

Jay Z's Reasonable Doubt.

Me and Marty were diggin' up things on the internet today and found gold...The video is a little under an hour but really has you hooked after a couple mintues. Jay-Z and friends break down each track and the concepts behind the ever so classic Reasonable Doubt Album. He gets in depth and really makes you FEEL where he was coming from at the time.
In my opinion he's the best to do it...
Hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did.

Tonight!

Air Yeezy @ LAX

I guess big hommies love is locked down literally ahah. It's really crazy I was just with Kanye @ the Knitting Factory on Wednesday and this just happen. Kanye West was arrested at 7 am this morning at the LAX Air Port for vandalizing a camera. I don't like blogging about stupid gossip and shit. I understand where he (kanye) is coming from but sometimes with the life you live (artist,actor,performer etc.) you give up your freedom of just walking the streets and always being harassed so I can't fully fault him but it is what it is.
