Oprah in Bedstuy ?

This pic is from a recent episode when Oprah roamed the Marcy Projects with Hova. I love how Jay can go from the block to the boardroom and thats what you need to become a successful businessman. I guess Oprah wants to bring in a young audience or just congrats the man on all his success. The interview was good but for more info you gotta check out the Oprah mag .

Only bosses wear horses .

Anyone who knows me knows that I love Ralph Lauren. First of all the man is a pure genius. Secondly the clothes I absolutely love. Third of all only bosses where horses , lol. But seriously I love love love going to the factory store. I own numerous polos . I sleep on Ralph Lauren sheets and of course my heads lays on the official Ralph Lauren pillow. The Bronx native continues to hold the fashion game on lock.

Fall is here and Winter is not to far away so its time for me to stock up on the sweaters. Something about Ralph Lauren sweaters that make me feel good.

Dont forget to check out Rugby , and to get the full effect of Polo go hit the Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store .

lol or LMFAO

First of all these dudes are poppin . Love their music and I just saw their commercial with the boyy Will.i.am , and I love the idea of making a world remix. This is something that I know that I am going to love. The sounds that come from the streets are so raw that its ridiculous and to add musicans into the equation , a killer is destine. "I'm in Miami Trick" is rocking but "La La La (On Top of the World)" is in heavyyyy rotation on The Pod.

We gettin Dubai money !

Ok this is one of the coolest spots that I have seen in Dubai , and Dubai def . has alot of. Its 220 square meters and designed by X-Architects.

Hip Hop Couture

Melody Eshani. Not only do her shoes bring you that old school Hip Hop feel but so do her accessories. Eshani def has the whole 80s Hip Hop vibe runnin all up and though her line. From door knocker earrings to two finger rings the girl is doing her thing. Divas like Rihanna and Angela Simmons have been caught wearing her line. Go check her out at melodyeshani.com . . . By the way this is a pic from '05 so everyone is madd late . Melody def a trend setter not a follower . Be Breezy !

P.S. That ring is t o u g h ! Love it !

guilt free cupcakes

I have to say that I love this line. Johnny Cupcakes is the man , and very creative. His line is designed all with a bakers theme, with his logo being a cupcake a crossbones. He uses the world around him to influence his shirts. One shirt has an image on it that looks like a Pez Dispenser but has an image on his head on top. He also has a cute shirt that is inspired by the movie ET , when ET was riding the bike in front of the moon , well he has a shirt where he is riding a bike in front of the moon equipped with a bakers hat. His line isn't limited to t-shirts. The Cupcakes brand also carries water bottles, belts, gloves, purses, key chains, shorts, underwear and so much more. Although there are 3 official Johnny Cupcakes stores ; 2 being in Massachusetts and the other in LA ; local retailers might carry it. The way this business is booming , I wont be surprised about several more stores opening. Visit his site : www.johnnycupcakes.com

the BiG APPLE

Steve Jobs did it again. Today he unveiled the new iPod Nano and iPod Touch. The new Nano has a built in camera that is able to record video as well as take pictures. The video is in H.264 VGA at a resolution of 640 x 480 at 30 frames per second with AAC audio.

[See the camera at the bottom of the blue iPod]

Now the Touch on the other hand doesn't have a camera but it is getting an upgrade. It will soon be available in 64GB. This is def. a huge plus to music lovers like myself. It will also run 50% faster and runs on the same software as the iPhone.

tha beginning of the end *

Today was the first day back to school for me . It wasn't that bad . I think I have senioritis already. Lol . Its gonna be a good year though . Excited for Homecoming week . Love MHS and all my seniors . Class of 2010 we run this !

Since going back to school is right around the corner I thought I should add somethings that make our new school year oh so fashionable. These Bape Chairs will make studying a little kooler.

Ever since I was a kid , I have always loved Kipling . Here is one of their backpacks in their Back to School Sale . This one bag comes in 7 different colors and are on sale for $55 . I like it because its simple and classic .

summah oh9 playlist

I spent most of my summer volunteering at a camp in upstate NY. The only way we were connected to the "outside"world was thru music. This playlist is created from iPods, and Hot 97.

So this is my playlist for the summer , I absolutely love these songs.

" Mira Mira " Al Be Back ft Fabolous

" You a Jerk " New Boyz

" Ride Dat Wave " DJ Frosty

" Tippin on my d*** " Yt

" Run This Town " Jay-Z ft Rihanna & Kanye West

" Bend Ova" RDX

" Make Her Say (Poker Face) " Kid Cudi ft Kanye West & Common

" Break Up" Mario ft Gucci Mane & Sean Garrett

" Pretty Wings " Maxwell

" Trick'n " Mullage

" Wetter " Twista

" B**** You'll Gag " Jay Karan

" My Ding-a-Ling " Baltimore Club Music

" Love Come Down " Dirty Money

" Sweet Dreams " Beyonce

" Brooklyn Girls " Charles Hamilton

" That Girl " KiD CuDi

" Chillin' " Wale ft Lady Gaga

For those of you that don't know . ALBe Back is Brooklyn from the movie ATL . Check him out on Def Poetry Jam , my fav is Super Negro. Also check out Wale , on BET's Rising Icons.

P.S. If you are wondering about the pic its a little prank a friend and I pulled . It was hilarious !

fierce ! ! !

These are the two fiercest women out there right now . Amber Rose and Rihanna. Amber first of all has come a long way from being a stripper in Mount Vernon , [shout out to my fam over there ]. This girl is the only one that I know that can rock that hair cut. This cut def. takes some swag. And don't let me get into those sunglasses of hers . LOVE 'EM ! Now onto Rihanna. Despite all the drama that she has been thru with Chris she has def. up held a certain image and managing to stay on top of her fashion game. Like Amber she too has come along well to. It feels like yesterday when she was singing "Pon de Replay" but she has def. evolved as a musican and as a person. Once she cut that hair , her swag was undeniable. From the bob cut to mohawk to the cut she has now ; Rihanna has girls all over the world getting those cuts. Good Girl Gone Bad ? No , Good Girl Became Fierce ! Poor Chris .

G.O.A.T

This man has been a major influence and has produced hit after hit after hit. If I had to list them I might be here all day but this post is to pay homage to Michael Jackson. Michael has broken so many musical barriers in his lifetime its amazing. As everyone knows by now the singer died 06.25.09 . The world was shocked by his death , and since his album Thriller has reappeared on the charts. My personal favs of his are : Smooth Criminal [that lean in the video was ridiculous] , Black or White , Remember the Time, and P.Y.T.

R.I.P Mike

Accueillir à Paris

I know you guys are thinking , "I cant read this , its in French." Well thatz exactly what I wanted to do. This post is dedicated to tha Diddy man . His new album Last Train to Paris hits stores 11.24.09 and already the buzz is big ! Of course Diddy is his own best publicist so he got the Twitter game on lock , along with the rest of the Dirty Money crew ; shout out to Dawn aka Neon , and Kalenna . And you know ya boy got Making His Band on MTV showing all the talent that we get to see out on tour and snippets from the album. The sound Diddy is going for is def. something away from his comfort zone and something Hip Hop really needs. Its a fresh sound that , well I think help diversify peoples music collections. Samples from the album come from all over the genre spectrum. Tracks "Love Come Down" and "Angels" have already been released and are hittin the air waves hard. To me Diddy , you have another hit on your hand .

The One . . The Only . . . KiD CuDi

Another one thats gonna be dropped on 09.15.09 is Man on the Moon : The End of Day by KiD CuDi . The way that CuDi lays his stuff down on these tracks , man he is ridiculous . CuDi created this album not only as another record but as an experience . Man on the Moon is broken into about four or five Acts . The deluxe edition has 3 more tracks to it and 65 minutes of live footage. Here are the track listings :

Act I : The End of Day

1. "In My Dreams (Cudder Anthem)"

2. "Soundtrack 2 My Life "

3. "Simple As . . . "

5. "Heart of a Lion (Kid Cudi Theme Music) "

6. "My World"

Act III : Taking a Trip
