The Carter Documentary

We all love Weezy!!! Even with his dredlocked gremlim, cough syrup'd, New Orlean self. And when his album 'The Carter III' sold a million records in a week (pretty impressive!) he was firmly put on the top of the list of Rappers and male artists that were to be WATCHED for 09 and the coming milestone.

Having appeared on almost every recent award show possible, collaborated with just about everyone (even Jay Sean!! but not Miley Cyrus...yet!!!)brought us Hip Hop that rocked (literally. I'm sure this dude wants to be a rock star!)and served up one of the best lines of 09 "i got tattoo's on my face and these don't come out, (referring to the diamonds in his mouth) im a mutha furckin gangsta!!, Lil Wayne keeps up our interest in this weasel with The Carter Documentary. A behind the scenes look on Weezy's life as he goes on tour, promotes his album, chills with friends and family and does what those who have fame and money get up to.

However the feeling i get from the trailer is that life as Lil Wayne isnt necessarily all that we think its cracked up to be.

Sneaker V Shoes

With the winter party season ahead (ohhh, maybe i should take this time to mention that its my birthday soon....yeah!!!!!!!!!!) im starting to look at party outfits, which kinda means party footwear for me. And as im struggling to find my perfect pair of autumn/ winter sneakers, footwear infact as im looking to kop something a little different, ive become increasingly obsessed with SHOES!! And for all you'll hard ass sneakettes, take a look at these beauties;

MOBO Music

As the MOBO'S go under way today (today!! already!! what, no one's been saying nutting bout no MOBO's......yeah, i know!) and i saw these new video releases from two of Britains finest m.c's (is that even the right term?), take a peek at Bashy's Life (who just keeps making really really good videos to boot with extremly well produced tracks...big big) and Kano (good to see the bruda back although this autotune hype is slightly jarring) with his new track Rock N Rolla

Casette Playa x Nike Dunk Hi Redo

After the huge collaborative sucess on the Blazer Hi with Casette Playa, Nike once again hooked up with Carrie Mundane for a Fall 2009 Dunk Hi release. However unable to match the par set by the eye catching and quirky SS09 Blazer, the initail design of this model looked like this:
and in turn, didnt really get the juices flowing. So after some creative updating with twicks here and there, the Casette Playa x Nike Dunk Hi now looks like this:
The clear swoosh remains, and the orange sole carries that Casette Playa vibe alongwith one of her graphics on the toebox, but all in all these fall pretty short of anything 'wow-ey' especially in comparision with the Blazor that seemed to get everyone loving it once some sunny days came to play.

Make up your own mind about these though as they get an October release.

Tongue 'N' Cheek Pre-Release

Last night saw the pre-release of Dizzee Rascal x Ben Dury's Nike Air Max 90's. With Q and A's from one half of duo, Ace & Invis, bbq food and beers to boot, it seems like the nights fun and sale's will set precedent for today's official release at 1948, Arches 477-478, Bateman’s Row, Shoreditch, EC2A 3HH.

Tongue 'N' Cheek

'On Friday 18th September, Nike Sportswear and Mercury Music Prize winning recording artist Dizzee Rascal will release the Nike Air Max 90 ‘Tongue N’ Cheek’ sneaker. The sneaker was created in partnership between Dizzee, Nike Design and long-time Dizzee collaborator and creative director, Ben Drury. Will go on sale exclusively at Nike’s1948 store in London’s Shoreditch, ahead of the release of Dizzee’s fourth LP, Tongue N’ Cheek (Monday 21st September)' Highsnobiety
I have a feeling these are gonna sell out quickly. Despite the fact that im not That keen on these pink/ salmon/ chalky white AM 90's, details such as a reflective image that shapes like Dizzee on the heel and raised 'tongue' and 'cheek' text on the tongues are features that'll make the youths of london town and the stylish keisha's and kim's go bonkers for these. Running streets, goin on dirty, going on stank!



'This promo video has been created specially to celebrate these two releases. Art directed by Drury, shot by hype photographers Tim & Barry the same creative team behind the album artwork, also includes the skills of up and coming director/animator James Copeman. Set to ‘Chillin Wiv Da Man Dem’ – the sound of Dizzee at his most laid-back- the film fuses elements of the album artwork with additional footage, and is a light hearted look into Rascal’s world.'

Converse x Patta x Le Le Collection

As Amsterdam’s favorite sneaker collective turns five, Patta joins forces with Converse to create a unique anniversary pack rooted in their mutual love for music, friends and classic street style. In true family-fashion, (these guys like looking after thier fam which i love!!) the collaborators teamed up with the quirky Amsterdam-based music trio Le Le (who work closely with fellow family member, artis Parra) to produce a 12-inch record with ”banging inner-city chic” tracks commemorating the anniversary.
With a nod toward street culture and Converse’s basketball history, the anniversary pack features a classic Varsity Jacket along with two of the brand’s most iconic silhouettes: the Chuck Taylor Hi and the Pro Leather 76.
The Varsity jacket comes in burgundy corduroy with a reversible grey quilted fleece lining. The Pro Leather sports a deep burgundy corduroy upper with quilted grey lining while the Chuck is the polar opposite with a quilted suede upper and burgundy corduroy lining. With 'Le Le' and 'Patta' written on the heels of the Pro Leather 76.

Crooked Tongues x Foothills

They say that in bad times; a recession for example, the real hearty brands have the best opportunity to shine. And amongst all the tough rides that the streetwear market, (especially here in the UK) have dealt with, Crooked Tongues have managed to thrive, standing tall, leading the way in this sneaker loved world.
Working alongside éS, The Foothills Project is a ‘back to before the basics’, hardworking, outdoor adventure concept, consisting of a jacket, backpack, cap and shoe that comes in three colourways.


Now available in store, Crooked Tongues adds another success to their collaborations.
And with the launch party at Slam City Skates last Friday (following from their bbq (of the Year), Crooked Tongues seem set to soar!

Search engines

You know how it goes; you’re looking for some information on something on the net, typing in all the relevant words, going to all the relevant search engines, to find nothing! Nudda!!!
Well, today wasn’t like that. Today, all the information I needed on a variety of some very obscure things came up straight away, with the correct websites too :-) And even better, when I typed in adidas silver by mistake, I got presented with these:
