Blueprint 3 SO FAR...

If you follow my blog you will know i go on and on about this album! HAHA. sorry. But excitement is taking over! Here's a few tracks that i have so far, all thats left to do is anticipate the drop of BP3 :)

We Made History

Brooklyn Go Hard

Swagga Like Us

Jockin Jay Z

D.O.A - Death Of Autotune

We Run This

Sneaktip Apparel

Sneaktip - Love Me Or Leave Me Alone

not sure what the appeal is but i love this range of Tee's. This color-way is my fav, the gold looks hot. Are we agreeing? :)

Playing For Keeps MJ Tee

I think i might have to get me one of these!!? Check out this and other designs/color-ways at PickYourShoes or peep the new Playing For Keeps website coming soon.

Died In Your Arms REMIXES

I first heard this track on GTA Vice City haha, driving around in the car listening to radio doing drive by's! Then by chance i came across a Jay Remix... this was years ago now! Then just recently i came across a T Pain version. I love Jay's, but T Pain did good!

Hook yourself up and see what u think..

T-Pain ft Smitty - Died In Your Arms (Remix)

Jay Z - Died In Your Arms (Remix)

Keyshia Cole ft Monica - Trust

Keyshia Cole is one of my favorite artists and i cannot wait for her to perform in the UK. I love this track, being accompanied by Monica just tops it off for me. Both of them deserve a track like this. NICE!

Keri Hilson Black Sheep interview

I liked this so i posted it! :-D

MAESTRO Knows Ep.2 (Berlin)

Maestro Knows - Episode 2 (Berlin) from Maestro Knows on Vimeo.

Travis Barker Drum Solo

This truly amazes me! Took my breath away when i watched it for the first time. I have never seen drumming in the air before, although i realize it has been done before.

Impressed is an understatement!

J.Cole NEXT BIG THING

I dont wana overload my blog with J.Cole posts, so i picked a gooden to share with you... peeped it on Semtex's Blog posted by Roy. This guy is my favorite emcee at the moment as far as new comers and talent goes! Drake it doing his thing too, but he has had the hype surrounding him which makes the playing field a little unbalanced. Cole's flow and lyrics are next level shit and i think Jay Z definitely left a banger on the shelf when he turned this track down for the American Gangster album. DAYMN!

Fabolous ft Keri Hilson - Everything, Everyday, Everywhere

So iv had this track for a bit but i heard the video was about to drop so i didn't post it! I really like the track and Keri is doing her thing like always which makes it more appealing. This girl is so photogenic its disturbing! lol. The production is HUGE, props to Ryan Leslie, you went hard in the Lab!

Supra Skytop - Steel Blue

I think you know by now, my love for Supra's is not yet dead! I like this color-way of the skytop. it has a vintage look about it yet still upholds a modern stylish look with the white accents on the vulcanized sole and the laces. Keep em' coming SUPRA!

Big Sean - Getcha Some

So i was having a bit of a bad day a few ago and i started bad mouthing this vid on Semtex's Blog because i thought it was a complete rip off of KanYe's 'Good Life'. I am never too affraid to admit that i was wrong! Video is DOPE. watching it all the way through, i noticed small things that impressed me most, like the way some of the animated colours jump and change to the beat of the track. Nice. I like the work, simple but effective! Obviously there was some influence there from Ye's vid, and more then likely the production on this vid had input from Ye himself, so there you go! Nice vid for a new comer. MUCH better then Drakes! LOL

R.Kelly ft Keri Hilson - Number One Sex

Im a bit concerned about how Graphic these pics are! A bit too saucey for my liking! But i think the question is...Will this be a chart topper for R.Kelly?

NeYo - Discipline

This is one of my favorite tracks right now, And you know i always hit you with my fav's! I like the beat and the high key singing, the beat in its entirety sounds like a combination os Robin Thicke and Anthony Hamilton when i listen to it. But most of all, i love the melody in which he is singing. A lot of songs are based around the beat or backing track, but here i feel like NeYo is making his own song! He could go acapella on this one and still pull it off.

NeYo - Discipline

Converse Chuck Taylor - Quilted

Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars - Quilted

Iv always liked the Chuck Taylor Quilted range, especially the hi tops, but one thing i dont like about them is that the converse logo in on the inside panel of the shoe. I do like this this range though, i am attracted to the light orange ones! The black ones could look fly too.

ALL BLACK EVERYTHING!!..

Jay Z ft Rihanna & Kanye West - Run This Town

TRACK IS HUUUUGE! im a Jay fan so im probably coming across a bit biased, but this track is big! Rihanna's part captured me straight off, then when the beat comes in i cant help but frown and bob my head! lol! deeeep. KanYe went very deep on the production. Like i said on Sem's blog, it has elements of KanYe's 'Jesus Walks'. I think this is gonna blow up... bigger the DOA. :-o

Download it (here)

Kid Cudi ft Kanye West & Common - Make Her Say

I LOVE this video! peeped it on DJ Semtex's blog and i was very pleased with my find. The split screen that they convey in this vid is an original interpretation. I like the way one half will be a close up and the other will be a long shot! Reminds me of some Quentin Tarantino's stuff... Kill Bill for instance. Ha, there's also something about the balloons that i really agree with. The track just seems to go hand in hand with the video design and production!

:)

Mr Hudson/Kanye iTunes Festival

AWESOME! im in love with the music these 2 are making right now! shouts to ROYSTON for introducing me! ;)

Nike Air Jordan Girls' Collection

Let me just start by saying Im not in love with these! However.. theres something about them that is striking and it is luring me! haha. I like the fact that Jordan is now branching out with womens ranges and differing styles to past releases. They have gone down an avenue more stylish and less basketball orientated. This is likable.

What do you think?

I can really picture any other color-ways in these that i would like, probably because of the material! I think patent leather would look fly for the black parts.

These will be released sometime this year, not sure how well they will do.

Chanel Record Purse

This is TIGHT!!! i like this a lot. Doubt you would be able to fit much in there, but i love the thinking behind it! i think i want one! haha

i love the strap, its so Chanel! Has been featured on many items over the past couple of years, from sun glasses to head bands! Nice, Chanel is doing a lot right now! ;)

Angie Martinez interviews Kid Cudi

The Pen Story

I peeped this on KanYe's blog! The only reason i have re-posted it is because of the smooth stop motion animation used! Nice work PENStory

NO I.D on D.O.A

I like this! Knowing the background to a track always makes me like it even more then i ever did! i LOVE the production on this track, so i have a lot of time for NO I.D to tell me how he came up with such a nice record!

Jay Z talks to Westwood

Ha! I dont even like westwood, but i had to post this link as i found the snippet of the interview quite interesting to be fair! He speaks on the rumours about him wanting to dead chris brown for boxing rhianna! He also speaks on his new single release and the current beef surrounding him and the Game. im holding tight for the full radio version on saturday!

check the snippet (here)

More so, im waiting in anticipation for the Jay interview with DJ Semtex to be released! This occured today and my boy Roy was there to witness it! PROPS son PROPS! haha.

MAESTRO KNOWS season 2oooooooooo!!!

I've told you before and ill tell you again... MAESTRO KNOWS baby!!! haha

I respect this guy. For 1, he has an interest in something and has pursued it (his own show). And 2, he is UP on his sneaker game! You only need to peep the kicks he is sporting in this pic to know that... The Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro's! NICE. i still want the yellow and black! hook me up Maestro!

Follw Maestro on twitter to get future updates on episode releases and just interesting info in general!

Maestro Knows - S2 Ep1

Nike SB commercial

Love the production on this. It made me chuckle!

Supra Keyrings

If you guys have been following my blog for a while, you will know by now i have a weird fettish for Supra sneaks! So to my glee and joy i peeped these keychains on the Kicks on Fire website! SO DOPE. haha. i love the gold one, then the black one! plus the little sneaker box it comes in! Nice. If i got this as a gift i would be v.happy. Easily pleased! :)

Huf Converse (red)

Huf Converse (red) - Skidgrip

So i peeped these a few days ago (as i have been out the loop for a bit), although they havent actually been released yet, so im still on my shoe game right?! lol

Anyhow, these caught my attention. I think i like the simplicity of them. They look extremely slick, and i like the red lace holes on either side representing the (red) range for africa. I love the black on black with the laces, and i also like the small details like the small Huf logo on the side of the sole - NICE! They in face remind me of the Lupe Fiasco converse release a few months back, the shape is very Lupe, slimmer then usual 'skater' converse.

All in all... tasty! ;)

Colin Munroe ft.Joell Ortiz - Piano Lessons

I love this track! reminds me of something The Streets would put out. Even more so, i like the video! I usually hate the use of overlayed transitions as they can look pretty shit and rushed. But this vid captures my attention and the layering is nice!

Angie Mar and Kid Cudi's Shoe Game!

Yo!! you know i be keeping you up to date on the sneaker game lately! (well, shit that i like anyway, haha) Check out Angie's Chanel joints in this pic! DAMN, i cant say i have peeped a sexy Chanel sneaker before! First for everything, and these are POPPIN!

Im not sayin much about Cudi's! i havent yet and not sure when i will catch onto this Salmon flex!! **shakes head side to side** just not feelin it mayyyyn! KanYe tried his luck with me and failed, he has to stop with these pastel colours!!

ANGIE KILLED IT!!!!

Follow her on twitter (here) this is where i peeped the kicks!

Glow In The Dark

Pi Kappa Alpha - Anchorsplash 2009 (Virginia Tech)

I peeped this on KanYe's Blog, SO crazy i had to share it with you! If you ever saw Kanye's Glow In The Dark tour, you would have seen similar features to this... minus the dance moves obviously! LOL. I remember The Scissor Sisters did something similar at the 2007 Brit Awards but this one is a billion times more effective and creative. Very interesting. i like light art..

Mr Hudson - Anyone But Him

This is my favorite track off the up and coming album. I thought 'Supernova' was crazy, but KanYe came back with something even better. The beat is tight, so props on the production Yeezy, and i just love the song in its entirety... Do yourself and favour and download it!

Pharrell talks MJ

Adidas Vulc Range

Adidas Campus Vulc Hi

Adidas Campus Vulc

Adidas O'Connor Vulc Hi

So i've discussed this with my buddy Ade and we have come to the conclusion that i'm gettin the red joints and he's gettin the blues! Either way we got this on LOCK! i was instantly impressed with this new design by Adidas, some of the best releases for a WHILE! The red ones are all me. The black ones are cool too, i like all the Hi versions. I wish the stripes on the red ones were grey or silver! These designs wont hit the market until 2010. ANTICIPATION...

Drake - Heartbreak Drake pt2 MIXTAPE

I haven't got round to listening to this yet, i hear it has a few tracks from previous mixtapes mixed with some new shiiiit! So i look forward to it. Hook yourself up and tell me what you think.

Adidas Stan Smith Trefoil

Adidas - Stan Smith Trefoil x White iPod

These are nice. Over the past couple months, i have witnessed the release of the metallic versions of these, but i wasn't feelin them! They were a bit OTT! But these look fresh! You could only rock these on a sunny day haha! If anyone stepped on your toe, its GAME OVER!

It looks kinda timeless. The ankle strap is old skool, but also new! and the Stan Smith shape is also dated, but still looks new! I like the way they have labeled it the iPod! The all white flex is very tempting!

MAESTRO REALLY KNOWS!

VANS - Acapulco Gold

VANS - Acapulco Gold x Moda Hi

You know, i didn't think i was ever gonna catch on to the mid strap which KanYe very generously bought back on his Nike Air Yeezy's! But i am definitely warming to it now and these caught my eye today. There's something i'm really liking about these, I love the color-way, i think the only thing i would change would be the ankle cuff to grey! The green looks too shiny n cheap.

Im i going crazy? who's feelin me on this one?

p.s, i wouldn't actually rock these... i think its very much a guys sneaker! i always appreciate, for men or women! ;)

B.O.B - Put Me On

Iv had this tune for so long! Snagged it from Roy before i even knew what bloggin was! lol. I dont think i ever posted the track, but i should have, it deserves a shout out! Peeped the vid on DJ Semtex's Blog today posted by the one and only Roy and i have to agree with him.. "Video is very very fresh".

Im an animator, so i like new yet simple idea's like this. Fresh is definitely a nice word to use!

B.O.B - Put Me On

Blessed Beats ft. Charlie Brown & Wiley

I peeped this track on DJ Semtex Blog. Im not really too much into the british grime scene. But this is mild i think, easier to handle! I really like it... nice shout Sem!

Gonna have to cop this tune today at some point.

Porsche:Legend Advert

This is the best advertising i have seen in a long time. Smooth and elegant in terms of compositing and design. The camera angles and the transitions! NICE.

I apologize for posting a random on my blog (for those of you that aren't into cars) but Porsche is my favorite brand of sports car by a mile. So for those of you that like.... enjoy! :)

Nike Blazer High

Nike Blazer High SB - Grey/Charcoal/Orange

These are BAAAAAAD! i want a pair immediately.

VIDEO: Drake - Best I Ever Had

Im a little thrown off by this vid! wasn't really what i was expecting. And i thought it would be much more special... 2 reasons, its his first vid and kanye directed it! I dunno man, im just a little disappointed! Not really funny which i think it was meant to be! Maybe my humor isn't on point today, or yesterday, or the day before! lol

Maestro Knows Best - Ep 5

I think i have mentioned it before but... Maestro really does know best!!

Eminem - Beautiful

Trey Songz Mixtape - Anticipation

Trey Songz is one of my favorite artists and has been for quite a few years! I haven't had the time to give this Mixtape a listen, but i wanted to share it with those of you that haven't been fortunate enough to receive it any other way. 

The cover looks SO sexy, haha! im in love.

Nike Air Jordan 1- Polka Dot

So when i first peeped these AGES ago, i didnt like them. Thats pretty obvious as i didnt even give them the time of day on a post. But i recently spotted them on Maestro's Twitter Blog. He was rocking them in a way that made me fall in love instantly! Maybe they are the type of kicks you need to see on a foot before you can judge what they would look like. As soon as i saw them on his foot, i want a pair.

Check 'em...

VIDEO: Mr Hudson ft Kanye West - Supernova

Loved the track now that i have blasted it on full in my car and have been anticipating the video as the stills got released a while back now! But here it is... i like it, how about you?

If you cant comment, sign up please, i would like feedback from my fans! ;-)
