I've never owned a pair of Air Max's, but I always kept a special place in my closet for these particular AM95 (Air Max). The neon catches your attention, but the comfort is Heaven to the sole. The Nike Air Bubble Technology is what makes the Air Max series easy on the foot, light on the sole, and durable for long lasting wear. This 2010 retro release comes with a signature windbreaker, sporting the 3M on the ribs. Available at Citysole.com (click the link under the products for direct link).

Black History Month #4

N!GG@$ With Attitude (NWA)

Do not let the derogatory "N" word fool you, these brothers stirred up the entire nation with their organic yet explicit lyrics. Beyond their lyrics they were inspirational factors to many aspects of society: Music & Arts, Politics, Culture, and even Language. Though the group no longer remains, you can still find a hint of NWA in 2010. Read up to see a cool video featuring Ice Cube (bottom left).

Heaven or Hell

"The Mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven." - Paradise Lost


To compliment such a quote, I stumbled upon EA's Dante's Inferno. You know "purgatory" the 9 levels of hell, the Divine Comedy, anywho the game looks extremely violent. I guess Hell would be. Not sure on the selling success of the game, but the storyline will be one for the ages. Look for it in stores on 2/9/10 on all major gaming platforms.

Black History Month #2

The Revolutionist
Robert Nesta Marley
February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981

"Bob Marley was born in the small village of Nine Mile in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica as Nesta Robert Marley A Jamaican passport official would later swap his first and middle names. His father, Norval Sinclair Marley, was a Jamaican of English descent, whose family came from Essex, England. Norval was a captain in the Royal Marines, as well as a plantation overseer, when he married Cedella Booker, an Afro-Jamaican then 18 years old.
Bob Marley was a hero figure, in the classic mythological sense. His departure from this planet came at a point when his vision of One World, One Love -- inspired by his belief in Rastafari -- was beginning to be heard and felt.

Black History Month #1

Dr. Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950)

Dr. Woodson served humanity a countless number of achievements, most notable as the
“Father of Black History.” Woodson (1875-1950) was the son of former slaves, and understood how important gaining a proper education is when striving to secure and make the most out of one’s divine right of freedom. Although he did not begin his formal education until he was 20 years old, his dedication to study enabled him to earn a high school diploma in West Virginia and bachelor and master’s degrees from the University African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University (the first was W. E. B. DuBois). Dr. Woodson began teaching black students in the District of Columbia’s public schools and at Howard University. What started as a week long recognition of African Americans in History, Dr. Woodson transformed this week into a month.

Too Trill


This King is more down to Earth than you may think,  I present Bun B's "No Mixtape". The fact that this mixtape is called No Mixtape based on a misunderstood adlib proves that maybe Bun just can’t quite stay away from rap even if he tried.With an album on the way Trill OG, Bun goes on any beat from Snoop's I wanna Rock to Gucci's Lemonade, and much more. Im not going to talk it up, listen for yourself enjoy.
