Sneaker Beast of the Week

This week's Sneaker Beast goes to a big LeBron fan. The Don Juan tagged his photo of him rocking the LeBron X "Pure Platinum". I must say personally, these are one of my favorite LeBron X's. You have the multi colored upper with the platinum tongue and the light blue sole. To me these can stand out with whatever you have on and this can make an outfit look good as well. If you would like to see Don's LeBron stash along with some others then follow him on INSTAGRAM: @br1n6h3at

#TBT Music for the Day

This week's Throwback Thursday music is Dedicated to the Females that killed the early 90's

Obviously Everyone knew this Lady ran the 90's but words can't explain the magnitude of Mary J. Blige music. This track here is one of my favorites.

This group "Jade" busted on the scene with this smash back in '92 and had a small run in the industry but this song used to have every BBQ jumping lol.

R.I.P to my all time crush, the great Aaliyah! Here's one of many classics of her's featuring R. Kelly with "Back and Forth"

This shoe drops this saturday 3/8 for $170.

Allen Iverson Jersey Retirement

Its Been a longtime overdue im glad to see it happened. Allen Iverson got the 2nd best achievement in basketball (next to the Hall of Fame) this past sunday in philly. His career was cut short cause of off the court problems but in my opiinion he could have played at least 2 more years. Ending his career in Denver im sure A.I. heart has never left the game but overall im sure he is satisfied on what he has accomplished. If you have missed the ceremony take a look above. 

Sneaker Beast of the Week

Sometimes it's not all about Jordan's, Lebrons, Kobe, or KD's. I consider some General Release kicks as "Heat" as well. Which bring me to this dope shoe. Dana is rocking the Nike Air Zoom Flight- The Glove, which this is a retro to the great Gary Payton. This is the Miami Heat color way.

Rant of Cousin Jeff!! The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!!

Ok, This section is called "Rant of Cousin Jeff", where the homie expresses in his opinion (and many other like myself) on what is the negatives in the shoe game today.

For this segment, its called: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!!

This is my thoughts on foams: THE GOOD: rather the Greatest is the 1997 original Foamposite One til this day no foam has match the texture used on the Foamposite exoskeleton.

THE BAD: 2008's HoH Exclusive releases limited to 82 pairs this was Nikes first attempt to put HYPE on the Foamposite it didn't really set in until 2010 releases came around.

THE UGLY: After foams like the pewter, coppers and others brought Foams back the hyped up Metallic Reds where Followed but one of NIke highest Hype reachers ever the GALAXY Foamposite with it's galaxy print wrap it would send foams to a new level of hype, success, and corniness. The best shoe to follow with the print wrap was the Paranormans the worst is easily the Thermal Maps..Only time will tell what else will come from nike using the Foamposite as its base.

This Rant is brought to you by Cousin Jeff, stay tuned for more!!

Music of The Day

Today's hip hop has been resignating in the south for a long time now and is still popping! But after the recent rants from Kendrick self proclaiming he's the King of New York and Trinidad James stating that the south and/or atlanta is running NY musically, it really put some on edge (which in my opinion should've and dont really mind the comments) and got the hip hop world really taking a step back to look and consider whats being said. 

Therefore with all of that being said, not only did the homie Maino react to the comments in his own way but also got in the studio to make this ill mixtape "K.O.B" (King of Brooklyn). In my opinion which is a definet listen to from beginning to end. Maino gives you 8 solid tracks plus 3 bonus tracks with some decent features. If you know Maino then he still keeps it hood but the last bonus track he really goes in on all of the NY hip hop scene and also gets consigned by Jadakiss as well on this track. Take a listen!

#TBT Give yall some Classic Joints to listen to

This joint is definetly a classic song from a classic group that shouldve kept the movement going in my opinion.

N.O.R.E Superthug - This song can forever transend through all generations. Also this album is by far in my top 5 of all times.

Taking it to the south with this joint, all i have to say is OUTKAST!!! Im glad Big Boi and 3 Stacks is bringing us some new heat in the near future w/ a rumored upcoming album!!

Still keeping it pimpin and taking it to the Midwest, We got the classic group Do or Die ft. Twista. I think this song started me to listen to the midwest era a lil more.

Kicks of the Week

This week's "Kicks of the Week" is brought you by a true sneaker connoisseur. In this dope shot Darty is showing off his 2008 Retro Jordan "Carmine" 6's from the Collezione Pack or aka CDP 6's.

Super Bowl XLVIII

 

So we have our teams for Super Bowl XLVIII (48). To represent the AFC we have the Denver Broncos and to represent the NFC we have the Seattle Seahawks. Now to make an educated guess, I think I'm going to take the Broncos to win it but I really think the Seahawks will put up a oil fight. Now what I really look forward is to the commercials (me being a marketing major think they're interesting) nonetheless I'd like to see your predictions on the outcome of this game.

#TBT NBA clip of the week: Jordan vs Shaq

At exactly 21 years from today, I give you a historic moment in NBA history where the great Michael Jordan battle it out versus the big diesel, Shaquille O'neal for the first time in their career. When i say battle it out i really meant it. Meaning, the new rookie Shaq coming into his airness home and really going toe to toe leading the game into overtime

and both putting up tremendous numbers as well. Jordan putting 64 points, 6 rebounds and 5 steals all while having an injured shooting wrist. Nevertheless, you Shaq beasting with 29 points, 24 rebounds and 5 blocks and also getting the overall win in overtime.

URL Battle YUNG ILL vs K-SHINE

Back at it with another Rap Battle from the U.R.L. scene. Smack put together (in his famous words) "another classic" w/ the battle between Yung Ill vs K-Shine!

I have my opinion on who i thought won but i want to know your thoughts!

AFC & NFC Championship games

This Sunday will be the NFC & AFC championship games before the big dance. I call it the "THE QUATERBACK GAMES" (corny huh lol). There will be a true testament to each QB and each one has some thing to prove.

For the AFC Ole Heads you got Manning, who is playing like he was back in Indy. Fighting with "Father Time" Peyton is working really hard to hoist up another Lombardi trophy before he hangs it up!

You have Brady that's not having one of his best seasons and barely getting by on a few games this year. This is mainly due to the injuries of  his main targets that's been m.i.a.

Now for the NFC Youngins who also has something to prove as well. Starting with Kaepernick. Out of these four QB's he has the most to prove in my opinion. He has to get by the #1 defense in the league, get back to the super bowl and also capture his first title instead of getting snubbed again like last year against the Baltimore Ravens. 

Last but not least there's Wilson. just like his opponent have to deal with another great defense. Nevertheless, Wilson will have to really put up some major numbers to get over this obstacle. Meaning numbers on the score board as well as numbers in the yards passing category as well.

So with that being said, who will you take to play in New Jersey?

Weekend of 1/17 shoe releases

~The top release will be the Nike Zoom Kobe 7 Prelude- London. The design and detail that Nike put into this shoe is very defined. The shoe is based from when Kobe and the rest of team USA went to london to claim the Gold against spain. Hence the color way with a little London graffiti. Also has a gold wreath with the number 1 on the heel for when Kobe took the podium. This shoe will release on Saturday 1/18 for $200
~Next up on the release list is the Nike Air Up' 14 - Orlando Magic. Last we seen this shoe was in 1994 when Pippen and Penny was sporting these. This color way is the Orlando Magic CW which is pretty dope. They will release a Black/Red CW as well to represent the Bulls. This shoe will release Saturday 1/18 for $140.
~Last but not least is the Reebok Kamikaze 1-OG. In my opinion this may be the best shoe to release this weekend. This shoe is a classic represented by none other then the Seattle Supersonics Shawn Kemp. Obviously the CW is in the supersonic colors. This shoe is another early 90's retro that Reebok brought back in full effect. The Kamikaze releases Friday 1/17 for $115 (steal)

This week's Jordan Release

This week's release of the Jordan Brand will be the classic Retro 3. The retro 3 will be in a new color way which is Powder Blue. In which will consist of an all suede upper, black laces and tongue, and a gray sole. This shoe to be released on 1/18 for $170

New Track from Vado

My first Music post will be on one of my favorite under rated rappers named Vado. After making some great music in my opinion with his own album and also a collab album with Cam'ron under Cam's label the "UN". Now with a new deal with DJ Khaled's under the "We The Best" umbrella at first i was skeptical. Then earlier last year Vado dropped the anticipated mixtape "Slime Flu 4" in august which was pretty good. Now dropping this joint called "Be Like" to be his next track in his repertoire to keep him buzzin. Side bar: He gives you that feel of a popular old school track, Whoa!! Take a listen and let me know what you think!!




Vado - Be Like (Whoa Remix)
