Some sneaks that I want to get...

Well a lot of you guys must know how it feels when you see something hot but you can't get em' because you are broke. Then as soon as you get some money they sell out!! Well I'm here to let you know about some of the hottest sneaks out now -or will be soon- so if you have the money, you don't have another excuse for not buying em' if you liked them.

1) Air Jordan V Raging bull Pack
This is one of the hottest packs and will be released on the 30th May. There is a picture of the grey pair but its not good quality.


2) New Balance x Alife M1300AR1
Well these are pretty pricey (140) but I'm really liking them.


3) Air Jordan 1 Black “Polka Dots” (will prob cost around 85)
I'm really loving these air Jordans.


4) Puma Mid Ape King (105 pounds)
One of the hottest pairs of puma mids.


5) Reebok Sir Jam Emirates (70 pounds)
Pretty hot and nicely priced.


6) Nike Air Yeezy (150 Pounds) Release
I'm not too sure about the Air Yeezy's unlike some people who will ride Kanye regardless of whether the product is hot or not.

An old Kanye and 88-Keys promoting the blue pill

Kanye and 88-keys fooling around backstage at 88-keys' music video shoot for his single "STAY UP (VIAGRA)" the video should be dope, I'll post it when I get hold of it and maybe type up my review of the album that I have been delaying for so long now.

Speaking of Kanye, I included a video of his performance on American Idol after the jump.

My Two Cent on some music.

This is an album review. You might be thinking okay but this isn't any ordinary album review. It's an album review for the most important album of the year. Yes, you guessed it. This is an album review for 808's & heartbreak. Mind you the album cover probably gave it away. However I don't believe it is an exaggeration, 808's may not be the best album of the year but it is probably the most important. Why ? you ask. Well it's simple really, we all want to know how Kanye West follows up the magnum opus known as "Graduation". Not only that you want to know, what the hell is Kanye West doing ? Can he really make a good album with auto tune ? Who does he think he is ? Well if you care enough all these questions can be answered, all you have to do is press play.

But back to the review. I'll start off track by track like I usually do and as soon as you press play, you get what this whole album is going to be like. Say you will sets the mood and it's probably not what you expected from the leaks. The passion and direction Kanye is putting in is very blatant. However I believe this song is way too long, I actually got bored 3 minutes in and I really couldn't care less how it ended.

The next song is the whole album in one track. It has one of the best beats Kanye's ever produced ( up their but not quite touching flashing lights). It really stays true to the theme as well as giving you a proper introduction to the album.

I love heartless. The song is great, it's a story which fits almost every relationship. Anyone can listen to this song and relate.

Now what do I say about this one. I like it, Kanye sounds good to me with the auto tune aka vocal steroids. Turn your base up and this beat sounds beasty. It's possibly the most hip hop feely track on the whole album, even though in my opinion this hip hop feel ruins the track. Or maybe I'm just hating on Jeezy. This tracks aight.

Love Lockdown is okay I guess. I say that because at first I hated it, but this song is so catchy you actually can't hate it. I still don't like it but it's bearable.

The next two tracks are shit. I have nothing more to say about them maybe I'll grow to like them but some how I doubt it. They really don't fit the rest of the album once you listen to it, you'll understand what I mean.

This song to me displays how versatile this guy is. Street Lights is nice point blank .

And I'm gonna end the track by track there. You can comment on the other tracks if you wish. I'm gonna use this space to conclude my feelings about this album. I really didn't want to like this album, I really prefer Kanye rapping. So it comes off like I really like this album but I do believe it has it's weaknesses. It's really boring at times because Kanye isn't the best song writer. He repeats a lot of verses and lines or drops in a repetitive manner making the album very boring at times. Also it's by no means a hip hop album. To me it really felt like an RnB album. Kanye is new to everything he is doing artistically on this album and it really shows except in the production because he isn't new to that. It's actually a really really good album production wise. It's still not by any means Kanye's best though, I'd take the other 3 over this any day.

But due to his high standards I still have to give this album a 7/10. Guess this album wasn't that heartbreaking after all.

Yeezy - 808's and Heartbreak itunes cover by KAWS

Brooklyn based artist KAWS has helped spice up the 808's and heartbreak cover art. Kaws famour for his work with original fake nike bape and stuff, is a damn good artist. This cover proves it. Much better than the actual cover in my opinion. Album hits stores Monday btw.

New Music....(Eminem, KanYe & Mos Def)

I have three new tracks, so instead of posting em' all on separate posts, i decided to group them in one.

New Mos Def, Eminem, KanYe & Trick Trick. For artwork + Links click on


We start off with a new track from the mighty Mos Def's new album. The single is called 'Life in Marvelous Times'.
The album 'The Ecstatic' is coming out on 28th of Nov.



Another leak off KanYe's album and yes it contains more singing and more autotune. The artwork provided is the official artwork for the album.



Eminem spits another verse for the scary Trick Trick. The track is not that great, but it is always good to hear Em again. However, Trick Trick should stop rapping and stick to robbing other shit rappers' chains.
