So I’ve listened to this album back to front a couple times already, and it made me think that I should probably throw in my 2¢ about it. Now rap these days is pretty linear, and ‘Til the Casket Drops, is by no means an exception to the rule. Its so linear in fact, that I could make a flow chart to cover the contents of the entire album, instead I will do it with a bullet point list.
A few days ago, Nike CEO Mark Parker, as well as Bono and some of the world’s best soccer players, announced to the kick off of the “Lace Up. Save Lives” project. Nike and (RED) have teamed up to produce a of (RED) laces, which can be purchased from Nike online or at any Niketown for 4$ . All of the profits from the sales of the laces goes towards the Global Fund and to Nike’s youth-oriented football-based AIDS education programs in Africa. I’ve added a widget to my site that you can click on to learn more about the program, or just visit the Nike website for info. Definitely a worthy cause, and i’m glad to see Nike getting involved, probably gonna pick up a couple pairs myself just because.
Warriors of Radness, Gourmet, two companies I know very well, but never expected to do any type of collaboration, very happy to be wrong. The guys over at Culture Shoq, graced the internets with the first pics, of what will be a summer time staple shoe for me, the collabo Tre. Gray striped cotton canvas, with teal interior, should make this a very light weight, breathable shoe for the summer 2010. Price and release date have yet to surface yet, but keep your eyes trained on the Gourmet site and other retailers.
For most of use, when we go searching for items such as carrying cases, straps and various items for our cameras, we are bombarded with the same lame, nylon, cheap shit that you can probably find in Walmart or your local Shell Gas station. Having spent so much on a camera, I for one, would be more then willing to shell out a couple more bills for quality accessories. While this market is ever growing, it is still a small one, but Leather Factory Roberu is putting its best efforts into catering to camera owners such as myself. For their Winter 09 line of camera goods, they have created several items using using natural materials, such as dyed leather and silk, giving each item an authentic look and feel and probably turning a few heads in the process. Roberu’s full winter line of carrying cases, camera straps and holder for the small form factor camera, are currently available at their online store and other select retailers.
I don’t know how things like this happen, but I must admit, today was my first time stopping by the flagship shop for Brooklyn Circus. Its particularly maddening because I’m usually just around the corner on Post street every couple weekends. That being said, I did mentally kick myself in the ass a little bit after finally stepping foot in. Upon entering, the shop reminds you of an era when guys dressed to the nines on the regular, and could beat the piss outta you without breaking a sweat. Its something that you really need to experience to understand.
With an excellent atmosphere to the shop, top notch customer service and the threads to match, this is high on my list of shops you need to visit. Pictures from my Trip to the San francisco shop after the jump.
