Be Kanye West vs Be The Biggest Boss

VS.

This is a part 2. to a post I did on my jobs blog (Richmond Hood). I def had to re-post it because I seen something similar to it. For those that aren't familiar with the big Rick Ross issue and the media, stating that he was a correctional officer before his big "million dollar hustling career" and his rap career. You be the judge if it's true or not. For full Rick Ross story Click Here, for Kanye Video Click Here

Artistic Spotlight: Mel D. Cole

Mel D. Cole is a New York based photographer/promoter/DJ. He's been behind the camera for artists such as The Roots, Rakim, Taz Arnold, Lupe Fiasco, Wale and many many more....

In my opinion, Mel D. Cole is one of the most hardworking photographers in the business. This guy is EVERYWHERE.

Streaming Bootlegs

If you are like me a little to busy to make it to the movies for the release date but always behind your computer. Or just simply to cheap to go see it in the theater I found the solution watch-movies.net. You can check out current movies FOR FREE! Just dust off that cable modem because they are all streamed no downloads!

For All You iPHONE Lovers Here It Is!!!

In my opinion, Louis Vuitton has been responsible for some of the best Accessories to date. This Fall they’ve set the bar high with their "European Bank Robber" Theme.
Louis Vuitton will be releasing a new version of their iPhone case in a Damier Graphite print.
It's set to release August 15th at select Louis Vuitton stores.

SIDE BAR-Louis Vuitton is also incorporating the Graphite Damier print into their clothing this Fall. The “European Bank robber” theme their following has led to the makings of leather jackets, Denim, Sneakers and even Hoodies. (A couple firsts for the high end line)

Knowledge is Power!

In recent weeks, I've been reading, "The Autobiography of Malcolm X: As told to Alex Haley."
