empire state of mind...

to be my only post of the day, i think its a great one. jay-z feat. alicia keys - empire state of mind. listening to this songs and watching the video makes me want to be from new york (not really) or maybe it just makes me proud to be from a big city, chicago. whatever it is, this is a great song and puts you in "that" kind of mood that is unexplainable. 

***chicago i miss you***

posters...

i was watching the nuggets/jazz game but then i fell asleep before i had to go to work. internet surfing a little bit and i hear this riff raff about MELO posterizing someone...(video above).

when a nba player makes a highlight play, it shows their real passion for the game. you can tell they are not thinking about any money, endorsements or any other problems. when you see how hype they get, it only makes me get hype and watch the replay over and over again cause truth is, i love basketball and that shit gets me excited. 

after seeing melo's dunk and all i could think about was...

what if...?

i remember my freshman year of college, there was NO wireless internet on campus. i was in the dorm and had the big desktop and aol dial up (lol)...next thing you know, my campus has wifi. i was hyped. but of course with it being the first year having it, there were so many problems. i never knew that the world would be so dependent on the internet. now you cant go anywhere without the internet. you feel lost and very much disconnected. it has become a major source of communication. what if one day the internet just crashed??? to be honest i would go ape shit but hopefully i would learn to adjust and be productive other ways...

real nigga separation...vol. 5

CAN I TALK MY SHIT AGAIN??? another 2 weeks has passed and a lot more stuff to talk about. real nigga separation vol. 5 is about to be lets say interesting. a few things to get off my chest. just to remind myself why i do this, i listen to wale feat. big sean, kenn starr & mike posner - "wonder why"...big sean said: "get money you still waiting on your reparations...weight of the world i live without preparations...and its time to make a real nigga separation". that line had a lot of meaning to me. 

as much as im on all of the different social networks (ie facebook, twitter, myspace..ect), a lot of it can really kiss my ass. its the way of the world now. i bet when people log on the internet, the first site they go to is either facebook or twitter. these networks has messed up our lives. what would it be like without facebook or twitter? not only that EVERYBODY is on there. moms, dads, aunts, uncles, cousins, teachers, employers...you name it and they are on all the networks. i am on twitter so i can network and occasionally speak my mind about stuff that cant be said on facebook. the 'book' (facebook) has become so common that family's are on there now. so if i say one curse word, a pic shows up that they dont like there is a comment about it. remember when facebook was only for college students with college email addresses? so i move to twitter...i try to say stuff on there to vent but when i do, i get text, fb chat messages, emails, phone calls or whatever telling me not to do that. WTF??? everybody else in the world can speak their mind and say what they want, including the people that tell me to be quiet, but when it comes to Fred The CooL...i have to keep my mouth shut? fuck that! im going to say what i want. 

time to address these niggas in huntsville alabama. YES i am the intern at kreativ.sole streetwear boutique. this is the first and only store right now in alabama selling the clothes that we do. A LOT of these people would not have heard of this stuff or still would have been in the dark if wasnt for us. i really dont like to bash people. i'd rather be there to help and put them on new stuff but dont come at us like we dont know what the hell we are doing. got a call the other day from dre2003 saying "man, some dudes was in the mall talking about 'kreativ.sole look like t.j. maxx'..." this threw me for a loop because 95% of the people in huntsville probably has never been to a streetwear/sneaker boutique before. all these dudes know is madison square mall and parkway place mall (malls in huntsville). little do they know, magic touch and man alive is not a boutique. 

ok...let me go into this one last time...im cool with people blogging. i know im not the first one to start this BUT please OH please do not turn this into myspace...ive been blog surfing and thats what its starting to look like. 

2 weeks have gone by and people are still doing stuff just because...so im about to have my just because moment again...

* just because you read a few books/poems or whatever...doesnt mean you can go around quoting shit like you are a philosophizer. if i wanted, i would do it too. 

* just because you go to church...doesnt mean you can judge me for not going. cause you're the most hypocritical person i know. 

* just because it has the jordan logo on it...doesnt mean that its cool. FUSIONS are not classified as Jordan Brand! 

* just because you greek...doesnt mean you have the right now to "try" other people like they want to be in your organization. you were lame before you got in the organization and you're more lame now. 

cool thoughts:

• thank you to ALL 35 followers of the blog...to the others, dont be afraid to hit the FOLLOW button on the side.
• unmistakably cool. x kreativ.sole is working on 2 collab pieces. look for it soon.

• its getting colder out...nuff said
• might switch up the blog...make an upgrade. same name but new look. (shout out to Skavenger Brandon)
• people are really starting to ask whats next after graduation...idk
• nephew just turned 9 (happy bday kid)

lupe fiasco - solar midnite

lupe fiasco comes with a new music for the New Moon soundtrack...

words from lupe:“Solar Midnite is my first commercial release that I actually produced as well as wrote. The New Moon team asked me if I could do a song specifically for the film. They invited me to an early screening of the unfinished film from which I pulled different elements that I thought would translate into a great song. I pulled in vocalist and bassist Graham Burris and acclaimed musician Matt Nelson to help fill it out my vision musically and “joila” Solar Midnite was born. The song basically deals with the chaotic love story that takes place between the characters. It’s more on the rock side of my musical catalog and comes straight from my die hard fanhood of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Anthony Keidis, one of my FAVORITE RAPPERS.”

neon = everybody look!

a few months ago, the internet went crazy when the pictures came out for the tennis ball hypermax. the homie Q from Fresh-N-Proper described the shoes right..."a car accident waiting to happen". as much as i wanted them, i didnt get them but i do have some neon and black dunks. to go exactly with the dunks is THE BRIGHTEST neon 10.DeeP shirt. i wore it twice and i must say it is an attention getter. today i had a conversation with the homie shawn about the hypermax's. we both know that they are an attention getter. he said that some people didnt really understand how dope the shoe was. basically he said some people just shrugged the shoe off and others was on it...

wiz khalifa x tattoos

going from blog to blog and ive been seeing wiz khalifa everywhere...for some reason i didnt want to give his music a chance just yet cause i was still vibing to kid cudi and jay-z...anyway, i was chillin in kreativ.sole and my homie kTims and jMillz was in there and i started talking about tattoos and what im about to get. kTims told me to watch this video of wiz and see how many tattoos he had...(the video is dope, watch 2:51)

so i watched the video and became a fan of wiz's music and also wanted to go get tattooed asap...whoever did his tattoos is a beast. i told mom dukes that i was getting my sleeve done and i dont think she is too happy about that. i been telling her since i got my first tat in 2005. i feel that now is that time. i wont be like wiz khalifa but somewhat close.

real nigga separation...vol. 4

im back again with volume 4 of real nigga separation. i dont really know the responses that people have to these post but then again i dont really care cause this is my way to vent. here we go...

i know for the past 2 post of RNS ive been ranting and raving about the whole blog thing. i can really care less now. i figured that people are doing it cause its the thing to do. i will continue to do mine and upgrade so that i can make a real nigga separation. (hahaha)

in the last 2 weeks, death is a word that im tired of hearing. chicago is really out of order for what the hell has been going on. it sadden me to see someone actually get killed on video camera. not only that, the video was being shown everywhere as if it was a new beyonce video. then as of today (10.4.09) i hear about a childhood friend being shot in the head. i dont know what to think about all of this violence thats going on but i do know that i will tell my family and friends that i love them and not take them for granted. what happened the chicago full of love?

i have been talking about unmistakably cool. and whats to come. ive been in the lab brainstorming and sketching up ideas. unmistakably cool. will consist of shirts with very bold statements and designs that are...what can you say, unmistakably cool. hahaha...it aint easy but i want to make sure that i have the right product that will last, unlike some of this piss poor shit thats out...

due to a large amount of people doing stuff just because...im bout to have a just because moment....

* just because you get a nice camera...doesnt mean you are a photographer

* just because you have photoshop/illustrator...doesnt make you a designer

* just because you put out one shirt...doesnt mean you have a clothing line

* just because i dont wear streetwear all day/everyday...doesnt mean im not knowledgeable of the culture.

* just because you have a 3 pair of kicks from footlocker...doesnt mean you are a sneakerhead

***before you claim any of these things...make sure you do your homework. its somewhat disrespect to those who really put in the time and have a passion for it.

cool thoughts:

• unmistakably cool. supports breast cancer awareness month
• school sucks
  
• job sucks...need more money
• maybe i need to find out who my teacher is for one of my classes...lol
• got a new blackberry...straight crack...i love it.
• im working on finding some real inner peace so that i dont have a care in the world. i think im getting closer to that. just gotta keep the right people around you.
• might start doing yoga...
• barbers in huntsville suck...other than me.
• need more tattoos...im ready for my sleeve.
• i wonder how many people are going to dress up as michael jackson for halloween.
• i think i made the right choice...nuff said.
• need 10 wings w/ xtra mild sauce and a mr. pure apple cranberry juice in my life

im just trying to live "the good life"...shirt by fli pelican available @ kreativ.sole
