im back bitches

JD YO

Jermaine Dupri is the man...but that photo above sucks..and despite dating a very talented graphic designer I still havent hit her up about my layout for the blog...

I lost faith in JD...why? Hes the man tho right...hes small and tried having beef with Dr dre, who finished him...so why the enfatuation...if so I should have arie gold as an avatar as I aspire to be as great as him (the real him and what he embodies of course)

ALIFE...an obsession

I have a problem...its ALIFE...i love it...i always have...its the hype...im not a hypebeast but i love the collab shit...if its alife and some other brand i need it...reebok x alife i got it...alife x asics i got it...alife x wu tang i got it...and now alife x fila...dayyyym shit looks aight, ALIFE whored themselves out for a while but now they keeping it real...their new website www.rivingtonclub.com if sweet and sexy...every tempted shoppers nightmare, encouraging ever growing visa card fines...my man james (www.thekidspresent.blogspot.com) made a fair enough call on the ALIFE chaser model which went wickity wack and took some D12 X zebra based purple stripe to an already wack model...but FILA has done them proud!! 

www.karmaloop.com just had a massive sale on ALIFE and i raped the shit out of it...literally bent it backwards and ate a doule quarter pounder off it while i pinned away on paypal...i have a rep code as well but its buried amongst my junk email box shared with penis pills, adopting russian wives and how i missed the phone call that i won a million trillion dollars...if u want it hit me and it gives you 20% off...mean aye yeah hard out G!

I got those J5S on ice aka pic above...3m is average but the red suede is buttery like eating red riding hood...is she a blood? Who knows some of that gang war fare shiaaaat! Jordan 1 countdown pack coming soon JUly i think might be a cop but not to sure, unrelentless spending aka useless but well see...Im still fiening for the AIR MAX 95 neon release ... dope sneaker, dope model, just eating arse about the price...will need to ponder on that biatch too! and plus i have to pay felila back...

Daniel Merriweather is cool...aside from the biblical name shared by me...his parents named him after me, his last name is rad...its like his parents conceived him on christmas eve with mean weather...aka merry - weather....yeah dry!

PNC - BAZOOKA KID

What's up people?
How are ya?
Im back...whats been happening?
I got demoted after i got back from holiday, but thats all good, now I just can focus more on the music and making something out of my life...
I have heavily relied on smokes + booze, but im kickin the habit and taking on this bullshit head on...
So 2nd June the album dropped...today...yes...and i bought it, en route to lunch with Marino apres the gym...I feel like im Kirsty Alley, constantly dropping and gaining weight, and then twittering about it...fuckin tweets!

aaaaaa....nyways

PNC - BAZOOKA KID
-----------------------------------
Leading up to this glorious day We all had been launched into the new PNC steez with bangers like FIND ME, MOONLIGHT, TAKE ME HOME, WHATS UP and recently TONIGHT...

But hold up theres more of that goodness/funk/electro meets eiffel 65 goodness wrapped in this album marked at $29.99 like a bar of wonkas chocolate son!!

BAZOOKA'S THEME
----------------------
This track is my shit!!! Its hype, funky beats produced by Forty One & Evan Short, the dude Sam's lyrics butter the track like a hot cross bun on easter weekend when you really want to buy only one but go for that second one anyway! The opening seconds make me think, if I was Michael Bay or the dude who directed Teen Werewolf and was going to do a Kirate kid movie, about some fat kid whos loses weight and fucks mother fuckers up at the end, and has a crazy orgy on the beach with a bunch of sweedish models who's boat stopped working,....(breathe)....then this song would play....seize the day muh fuckers!

1/2 KAST
-----------
I like my slow songs...i like them when i know big dudes sing on them too...i like them when the lyrics make sense, I like them when its raining and cold, and u can just remember shit like ... where all my money went, or how rude i was at some point, or aspiring to be greater (or not) ahaha....but this track is a def sunday thrasher, chilling at a cafe sipping some of that sizzurp aka hot chocolate with two marashmallows (one pink+one white) and 2 sugars...with a "thugs mansion" twang to it, its a keeper, in my "sentimental" playlist on my ipod...its no often i got gooze bumps unless i hear something great or its actually really cold...but i got em!

NEW DAY
----------------
Tyra sounds hot...i havent met her, but sister has some soultry vibes running thru the track...this is the kinda track that belongs on a SNATCH movie when all that shit goes slow mow and dogs are chasing rabbits etc...its some real hype run to the gym despite the snow and smash a boxing bag shit...u gotta hear...its hype.

I love this album, even if sam was a dick i'd still like it, but he isn't which is cool...but either way the album is destined for sucess and is rare to see albums exceed such a steller bench mark set by ROOKIE CARD..i commend you my friend, and as always as are the rest of them proud to call you a friend, doing what you do best and that is some serious music!!!

BUY NZ MUSIC ... or youll end up like blanket man listening to some country american bullshit...what a Nz music hater dude!!

PNC - WHATS UP

People gradually realise i post alot of PNC and P MONEY and etc etc on this blog and thats also because a lot of people that may stumble on this blog are generally lost...and under the grand scheme of things could post up any shit i wanted to and know deep down that this would get discovered by some lil homie in his room eating porridge in bermingham UK looking for the tim westwood shit...then he hits me and scrolls down, plays the song, and tells his mate...thats how it works, its called pull my finger and ill fart...nah wrong game...ahaha anyways...its a dope track..a back and forth banter of fans and love for music and hate that comes alongside, a true tribute to what can be an ambassador to real hiphop minus guns, drive bys, 40's and some ho callled rosa parks...5 stars...yeah thats right i said it!

DONT SWEAT THE TECHNIQUE

WEEZY F BABY

Signed, sealed, and delivered to my feet, hands, box, bag, fuck it i got em and Im going to flaunt the shit out of it...Fuck that haters, i bite the hype, i hunted and i achieved!

People hate the Yeezy cuz its hype...thats all it is...this is the first time NIKE ever actually created a shoe name after a musician "kanye west"....and its dope...parts of bape and jordan 5's alike with a glow in the dark sole...These shoes make the collection for now and will an ever impending retail increase on ebay its not just a dope sneaker, but also an investment!

So...i tried everwhere, called norway, states, poland, france holland even the kilates boys didnt have them...i then head down to LIMITED EDITION...leaders in the sneaker game WORLDWIDE hands down...holding tier 0, consortium, acg, bbc, jordan etc theyre hype with a store set like a library its ridiculous....anyways i see the yeezys but in my mind im thinkin nah theyll only have a us 9 or 8 left like the other stores...so i ask this dude, and i tell him my story...he looks at me up and down, he smiles, he makes me wait, he smiles, and he politely says to me and felila, come with me...

So we walk, and walk down winding streets, illusive buildings tower over us, alley ways approach made better by great conversation (his name is angel...oooooh yes u are) and he owns and runs LIMITED EDITION in barcelona...look out for sneaker freaker 15 for a write up...so he takes us to show room/stock room and low key store called OPIUM thats affiliated with him...I look in and thought i was in SUPREME LA...dudes jamming OG jordan 11's (you like that aye sam!), fragment tennis classics lyyin round, a clock made of jordans and under a glass platter thing was a pair of yeezys

He says to me that everyone has wanted it but for the wrong reasons, i.e ebay or just cuz its dope...i told him about marek (who i work with) and how i had to bring this home to show his new born child (mika...this ones for you bro)! and there he had it the last pair...fit like a glove and where as 3 other stores I went to were selling them for 300 euro a pair he spot it for 250 for me...what a dude...he really was the nicest dude in the game...he mentions openinig up a sneaker store in London and that recession is bullshit, and we talk about the carharrt store and how you have to ring a bell to get in (but why when no ones inside ahahha)

1 hour later, a friend later, a yeezy later, and a great girlfriend who helped me fund them, i walked away a happy happy chappy...so ANGEL thank you and yes I will email you that stuff, and thank you for the next 3 colourways to come...your truely are the man

And that was it...after being told to eat shit, that it wasnt going to happen and way to many phone calls...i got them...its a hobby, its a passion, but at the end of the day they are just sneakers...but for me it was telling myself i wasnt going to leave europe without them, and i haven't...mind over matter mother fuckers and right now the mind is proving a whole lot of people wrong!

1 love...t minus 20 days till the next colourway!

dave chappelle move over

We saw this dude today before we had to train, bus, and fly back to Italy...this guy dressed as a clown, with a real squeeeky voice held the whole street on lock down and basically ran a show on the other side of the street...dude had like 200 people stop on :la rambla: and watch his antics...everything from hasseling old spanish ladies, to kids, and groups of dudes...check the homage he pays to 007...all you could hear was deafening laughter for ages...
I wonder if he pays taxes?
any if he did what would his job description be...i dress as a clown, and immitate people and chase any demographic up a street...ahh yes youre a jahovas witness?

either way dude made everyones day so whoever you are keep on slappin that paint on your face, and keep on not paying taxes...we love you for it! OLA!!!

ON THE GRIND t-i-p

So this dude above pretty muchs pulls the crowds on la rambla...hes the man, the vid speaks for itself...dudes official...the street im filming on was a stone throw from the hotel and at night turns in to gotham city minus batman...(sorry andy...batman on holiday) its run by scody indian dudes selling cans of beers for a euro each..tried buying one last night wasted for 70 cents ... no luck..he didnt know what he missed out on .. every cent counts! ahaha and then to complement that, the streets filled with prostitutes aka :whores: ahaha...god a movie script in the making..."while batman in on holiday indians with cans of beer and crasy whores attempt to govern the citys income" I NEED A TRAILER!

Barcelona ... what can i say?

So on friday flo and I took off to barcelona as you do (not) and grabbed a ryan air flight to gerona which is like 1 hour out of barcelona...the plane was shit, leg room was crap and you dont get pre booked seats so its a free for all...stand your ground son! ahaha...aaaaaaaaaanyways touch down in gerona hit up the bus, which is pretty much like the plane but on wheels minus the A/C...
So we left buno siera and arrived in OLA SENIOR!
hotel we stayed at ballin, nice low key right on the main strip and close to everything in need to be seen! So we drop our bags, wash our face, change my undies, lace my feet and we walk and walk walk...around 9pm we roll down to 24 KILATES a store in barcelona that I have become "friendly" with and LOADED has sold their collab with NB shoes...hype beast 101 son!

We walked around the whole of the city, checked out the zoo ... random yes, but whens the last time you saw lions, tigers and bears (oh my) and dragons and shit...ahahah jizz jokes...nah but seriously the funniest thing on this planet is watchin a hippo go for a swim with his mate...and casually take a shit in the pool that theyre swimming in and watching it all float to the top...and at the same time the other hippo yawns and almost eats his mates shit...friendship taken to a whole other level...WORD!

fuck i just relised theres so much to write and im getting impatient so ill split it...but anyways shits crazy son ate heaps of food, saw some serious funny shit down "la rambla" which is the main street in barca that has all the clowns and dudes who dress up and stand still in costume and this juggling soccer guy on the grind...the official man!

I got yeezys thats on the next post...

met dudes from all walks of life and deal with nike, reebok and puma over there, how they access certain shoes, tier 0 and the whole consortium + the hype behind the originals by orignals range...and how important themed stores are...which is ever so evident in barca...the city seriously shat on italy on so many levels...any homies speak english...unlike the stubborn italians...

Ill leave you with the pics and next post will have all that hypy videos!
