The Couture Manicure by Yves Saint Laurent

Unsung .

Ok so as an avid music listener I believe that much talent goes unnoticed . Example Drake has been on my iPod for about 5 yrs now ; obviously not his new ish but he was out for a minute with fire mixtapes and went unnoticed . He and Trey Songz even dropped the video to Replacement Girl and I believe that it didn't stay on the 106 & Park countdown . So i have said all that to say this : Stop listening to the radio for a minute , hope on youtube and find talent !

My fav artist that I feel don't get enough respect/radio play :

1 . Lupe : Dude is stupid ! Listen to that Say Something Remix he did . So cold .
2. Solange Knowles : Her sound is so refreshing . Breathe of fresh air .
3. Fabolous : Need I say more .
4. Kid Cudi : His sound is odee futuristic . He has what I call high music .
5. MIA : Real female rapper . No offense Nicki

Bee Tee Dub [ by the way ] these aren't in any specific order . I was just going off the top .

Khaled . We the Best ?

Ok , T-Pain is back. I have some mixed reactions to that . I wish he would give up that auto tune but any way by now you have probably heard " All I Do is Win " by now , if not you need to get up from under that rock you living on . But the remix to that has dropped and I'm pleases for the most part. Best Verses go to Nicki , Fab , and Kiss . [ Bee Tee Dub have you heard Fabs mixtape . one word : ridiculous ] But as you know Fab has thee best punch lines in the song , and Khaled hopped on the track and dropped a warm 8 instead of a hot 16 .

Check it out .

Sorry for the wait .

2. Love Jones ( 1997 )
3. The Best Man ( 1999 )
4. Love & Basketball ( 2000 )
5. Brown Sugar ( 2002 )

But I got a cute wristlet from Dooney & Bourke. If you don't know that brand , imma have to ask you to step ya game up. True Religion and Lucky Brand had a sale but all the goods were gone when i got there . Here is a treat from me to you tonight. Two songs in my fav 20 of all time .

Quality a lil bad . Sorry :(

So the padre just picked up some clothes that he had in storage from forever ago . So you know what I did ; I grabbed anything I could get my hands on that was worth keeping . Walked away with some vintage scarfs , a disney sweat shirt that I got the perfect fit for and a purple vintage hat [ i know it sounds different but watch what i do with it ] . We also found a New York Jets hat that was from the 70s that a bunch of players signed . Now that's what's up !

Step Ya shoe game up .

Ok guys pay attention , the Jordan's is hot and all but its time to get grown and sexy . So here are the not so new boots that MEN are rocking . Its important to switch up ya style . The Desert Boot is where its at . No if ands or buts about it . Here it is by itself so you can see it :

thoughts at the moment .

So after my huge resistance to the matter, all my guys friends have convinced me to watch the NBA All-Star weekend stuff . It's not as exciting as everyone acts like it is . All I want to watch really is the Drunk Contest . Who is even in it ? Any who last night I was watching Digg on his ustream , and im not gonna lie the kid got ill swag , which at times can come off as cocky but I guess it depends on the person . He said something that stuck with me tho . He said its not about the money you have and that ya wardrobe could be tight like his even when you shop for clothes at reasonable prices . But personally I feel like if you were born broke , obviously he wasn't , it is always about the money . I'm not saying im broke all the time but I don't have guap to be dropping around like he does . Keepin' it 100 that rubbed me the wrong way . I don't hold my tongue for anyone and if you don't like it you can def close this window .

Call Me .

Joell Ortiz is killing it with this track !

Rude Boy _ Rihanna . Peep .

Peep This .

Jimmy Choo sneaks that are about to drop. With the usual snakeskin, Jimmy's new line has 8 pairs of sneakers that are in his new collection. They appear in both high top and low cuts . I wanna see the real sneaker heads who cop this .

Who Dat ?!

So like I said , the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV . And personally though a Giants fan, the Saints truly deserved it this . After Hurricane Katrina , New Orleans needed a hero, and America was there for them for a short time but the Saints are the true heros . After a rough first quarter , the Saints came back with avengeance in the second and total took over the game after Halftime . Bourbon, Canal , and the French Quarter will be celebrating well into the morning as true New Orleans residents know how to. Congrats to all the players and their families . It was a though season . Continue to strive for the best .

Sidenote : Rumor has it that Bush proposed to Kim last night . hmm we will see . More pics coming tomorrow .

Mr. Do It For The Ladies .

Don't Call it a Comeback .

Check out the boy Drizzy's new mixtape . Entitled Comeback Season 2 it packs heat with Lil’ Wayne, Lloyd, Trey Songz, Gucci Mane and more . If you have recently become a fan of Drizzy when he dropped "Best I Ever Had" then you should also check out the prequel to this mixtape Comeback Season . Comeback Season's songs include "Closer" ft Andreena Mill , "Replacement Girl" ft Trey Songz and "Missin You Remix" .

Stalk Me .

Get at me on twitter . I will follow you back . Keep up to date on my latest ventures . @justeB

Guap .

So I have been hearing about the new federal reserve notes . They are having more of an International look to it . I kinda like it . It will def take a minute to get accustom to but its kinda dope . So I noticed that they have dropped the $1 and added the $200 dollar bill . Peep the new $200 bill :

I'm an Uptown Girl with SoHo flavor .

Confessions .

I love how Usher is no holds bars when it comes to his music . First he drops "Papers" which was obviously about his divorce with ex wife Tameka . Then he joins the hit maker Trey Songz and Keri Hilson on "Invented Sex Remix" aka "Re-invented Sex" . "Which one of yall? / Which two of yall? / Which two of yall goin home with Usherrrr?" Gettong over the divorce fast I see and finally his latest with Plies "Daddy's Home" . I honestly love all these tracks and can appreciate the effort he puts in his craft . Truly talented .

Side note : fav song "My Way" . Throwback ;)

2009 Rap Up

Leaders of the New School

There is a movement going on in which kids are no longer waiting to make things happen but are making moves by themselves . Perfect example Diggy Simmons. Digg is the middle child out of the boys in MTV's television show Run's House . If you watch the show then you will now that he getting a clothing line together but one thing that I wasn't ready for was for the young lad to rap . If you don't know me by now I am a huge Hip Hop fan and an even harder Hip Hop critic . So I downloaded his mixtape and it amazed me that the boy can spit ! No lie the kid has a bright future . He is also down with the " Young Crafters " movement . Follow him on Twitter to keep up to date on his latest moves and make sure you check out the blog .

So there is this kid name Angelo Logan who hails from Virginia and like Digg [ who I heard he is good friends with ] is on his grind . At the young age of 16, Angelo is a free lance web designer , and editor-in-chief of solediction.com makes all people who see his work step up their game . I personally don't know much about him but im sure that this wont be the last time that we will be hearing about the lad here on my blog or in the mainstream . Stalk him on twitter , and make sure that you peep the blog . One word for it : Dope .

Mac vs PC

Ok imm sure that you guys have seen the commercials but honestly which is better . I personally love all things Mac because their graphics are wayyyyyy better for me designing but business wise PC is killing the game . In order for Macs to stay in the public eye something new or and upgraded version of something is released . Now Mac had been holding down the Smart Phone world with the iPhone but Microsoft ( PCs running system ) is playing ketchup with Android . The major reason that a large portion of the population are still PCs is because Macs have their own operating system while on a PC Microsoft is the standard . Whatever floats your boat .

And Apple continues .

A little late but here it is , the iPad . Ok so personally I dont like it but there is room for discussion on that . Basically to break it down for you all it is , is a large iTouch . Seriously . It will set you back about 499 US Dollars .

thoughts of the moment .

So as you can see I haven't blogged in a long time . School is crazy as ever and my life is equally as complicated . I live a simply complicated life and have no problem with it . I have really been grinding it out down here, making a ton of video conference and playing phone/email tag with a bunch of people . Finally got back to my passion of designing ! Since I haven't in so long a ton of sketched are floating around my house . Recently did some on camera work for a new virtual high school . I thought it was a little sketch for a minute but I actually have a lot of fun with it . I did such a good job that they want me to do some studio work . We will see how it goes , a little excited . Hope things stay on the up and up . ily guys .
