i dont know if you all know but

I HATE NICKI MINAJ!

her raps make my ears bleed and all that barbie face shit is whack.

i can care less for the girl.

the thing that really irks my nerves is the influence that

she is setting for the younger generation. last time i checked

barbie was fake and thats what she looks like. not only the

younger generation is affected by it but even my own peers think its cute

to look like nicki...this shit needs to stop. i want you people to see how far this is going.

ok im done.

hat tutorial...

2010-01-09T15:34:00.000-08:00

im an avid hat wearer. when i started, i used to

keep the sticker on the top of the brim but as of late

i thought that was pretty lame for people to care

about what size hat you wear. plus when the hat gets

old, the sticker starts to mess up. by that time

its too late to take it off. so here is a tutorial on how to take the

sticker off...for the uninformed.

im thankful but damn!

2010-01-05T13:02:00.000-08:00

i want to start off by saying that i am thankful for what i have. life, family, real friends, a job, a roof over my head, clothes on my back, shoes on my feet...ect. BUT DAMN!!! im having some bad luck with ALL my electronics. i know its material but good money was spent on this stuff and im lost.

lets start off with my 12inch subs...i think i got these around spring/summer of 07. i was blasting great music but that was the problem...i was BLASTING it. come to find out, i blew my speakers out and my amp (spring 08)...ive been so lazy to not even send them in to kenwood to get them fixed...i think its about time. yea i know, its 2010...lazy as shit.

next...i got my original xbox360 stolen when i was staying in the dorm in march 2008. i was pissed off. one of my good friends was selling everything in his house and had a 360 for sale. i got it for the low...cool right? NO! a few months later, i get the red rings of death. to make a long story short, that means my xbox is fucked. cant play anything on it. i tried a few tricks to fix it but it didnt work. its been sitting in the corner of my livingroom for some time now...i think its time to send it in.

last but not least, my baby...the macbook. got this as a present and is still very thankful for it. this thing has changed my life around. once you go mac, you never go back. i do a lot of work on this thing and now she is sick. my screen has been getting distorted. now i have to bang on the screen for it to work. no sudden movements or its all messed up. went to the apple store (genius bar) and they told me flat out, to send it in and get it fixed would be 300...SHIT! i put my baby in the bag and walked out. i dont have that money. so me and her going to ride this out.

i dont want to say whats next but damn...this is enough.

hopefully my luck will turn around soon.

the life and times of the UnCooL.

peace...

maestro knows - episode 3 (ibn jasper)

2009-12-25T09:55:00.000-08:00

maestro starts in venice at a skate park with ibn jasper. if you dont know who ibn jasper is, he is kanye west's barber and stylist. kanye named a shoe the louis vouitton shoe after him. they take a trip to rsvp gallery for the realese of ibn's hat then straight to chicago's famous shopping district.

before ibn jaspers release of the jasper, maestro was on ustream. i tuned in and he said that he was going to chicago. i then asked him, in the chat window, was ibn going to be on the next maestro knows...he read the question, laughed and said he couldnt tell me...it was dope that he read my question and "attempted" to answer. i was right...hahaha

:::Fred The UnCooL

its just my opinion...space jams

2009-12-23T06:50:00.000-08:00

to start off, YES i wanted the shoes so bad, i wont lie about that. YES i am a lil salty (mad, upset, down...however you want to put it) that i dont have them. BUT when it came down to it, i had responsibilities to take care of and that was more important.

perfect picture courtesy of got sole?

ive said time and time before that i am not a sneakerhead...i dont camp out for shoes...and realistically, ive havent paid over $125 for some shoes. i just dont have it like that. i commend those who do and no shots fired. so when it came to it, i was content with not getting the space jammys.

footlocker in atl...smh

i think the space jammys along with the yeezys are the biggest shoe release of the decade. i caught this video a while ago about people camping out for the yeezys in london. they documented people waiting in line and asked a random guy on the street about his reaction (3:05)...made me think of today's release.

"i was rather disappointed and rather sadden to find out
that they were just caring for a pair of trainers"

my opinions/thoughts:

i think that jordan knew what he was doing releasing 3 pair of shoes in one month. with 3 kids, 2 in college and one in high school and an ex-wife...i think he was able to take care of everything that needs to. right now mike is sitting back laughing. again, YES if i had it, i would be one of the people making him richER BUT i dont and i didnt.

fa'real though...if you do have the spacey's, grab this kreativ.sole crewneck! the blues match the jammy's perfectly...PHONE ORDERS - ONLINE ORDERS are accepted...www.kreativsole.com

real nigga separation vol.7.5

2009-12-15T02:53:00.000-08:00

i told yall i was done but i had a few people tell me to go in some more on people and situations cause they felt i was holding my tongue and holding back. yes it is true i was holding back because i know peoples feelings/emotions get hurt easily, i raise some questions of concern or just piss people off in general. here goes nothing...

this internet thing can be real dangerous. everyone is on it. grandma's are even techno savvy now-n-days. dealing with these social networks, it can be a good thing or bad thing...it all just depends on how you use it. if you use it for networking, fun and to maybe keep in touch with certain people, i think thats cool. if you use it to vent a lil bit, thats cool to (i know i do)...BUT if you using this shit to sneak diss...you can really get yourself fucked up. "if it aint directly directed at me, i dont respect it." ive surfed around and found that some people want to say some shit about me behind my back on twitter. also ive seen other people that really dont know me reply to females complaints that dont even know me. stop standing up for her and you dont even know me. just because you take her side or bash me doesnt mean she gon mess with you. then again i dont know...90210. what are these willy foo foo rif raf ass niggas on? i do try to be civil but mama and daddy aint raise no punk. there is no sneak dissing in this message, its straight forward.

"niggas cant fuck with me

im in a good mood

you lucky

i got a good groove"

the question was posed to me today: when are people going to make the transition from fitting to standing out? it was a good question that i hd to think about. unlike some people out here i dont try to do the most or try to be seen...im just me. i dont try to be cool...im just me. i surround myself with good people that keep me grounded and level headed. for all you people out there who really work hard to be this persona of cool. you can have it. it takes too much work. some of yall made tis cool shit whack. from now on just call me Fred The UnCooL.

"stop trying to be somebody

and

be yourself"

this wasnt going to be as long as the regular ones...but some things just had to be addressed. hate me for it...i dont care. talk about me some more...i dont care. this was just some things that i had on my mind and held my tongue about.

graduation & my bizness is on my mind

real nigga separation vol. 7

2009-12-13T21:50:00.000-08:00

im back again with a real nigga separation...i havent done this since nov. 1st. i decided to take a break cause even every other week seemed to soon but now this seems just right. so much has happened since vol. 6. this wont be like the others...

i would like to first shout out to everybody that blogs now. it is a beautiful thing. "damn it feels good to see people up on it"...i have respect for some out here but others are just whack. i check your shit out to see what you are doing different and i dont see much. ive also seen shots fired at me on other blogs...really? shoot yourself for that one. people should really think about adding a lil substance to their page instead of copying and pasting. it looks bad. i can do that in my sleep. just do me a favor and delete your blogspot. you aint even DOTcom...lol

women...damn i cant understand them for nothing...im just going to stick to focusing on graduating and money...nuff said about that.

school has been a beast. me being a senior has definately put some things in perspective. i have really started thinking about my future and what is next after may 14th. fuck teachers/Advisors (some not all) at A&M...they dont want to help you out for shit!

3 weeks ago, after the jay-z concert, i came down with pneumonia. to be honest, that was the worst. out of school the week before finals and then missed a week of work. check was super short. for that first week, it felt like i was on punishment. i couldnt go anywhere or be around anyone cause its contagious. i went back to the doc at the end of the week and they told me it was still in my chest but i would be ok for school and work...cool...wait, this past wednesday (12.9.09) i felt a lil cold coming along. really didnt think nothing of it until my chest was congested again. saturday morning went back to the doctor and they said i still have pneumonia. that really hurt to hear that. honestly im scared as hell because i dont know whats really going to happen. im scared to sleep cause i know this can cause death...im not ready for that. i just hope this medicine can really take care of this and i can get back to 100%

my new years started december 1st. i dont see why people try to con themselves into believing that they will do better just cause its a new year. i wrote out a resolution letter last year. it was supposed to be special but that thing flopped so i opened it to see how far or how well i was doing and i really kidded myself. im through doing resolutions. shit is whack and doesnt work.

bizness...oh man do i have some stuff up my sleeve. i went home for thanksgiving break and got inspired. i have a new outlook on things and what i can tell you is that 2010 will be something special for me. i dont know how many people SUPPORT me but when i think about it, it doesnt really matter cause in the end, i just wanna wear my own clothes. i plan on making my mark.

eventually this is what i want to get to...printing my own (inspiration)

uncool thoughts:

i appreciate everyone who reads the blog...its just my way of expressing myself.
wiz khalifa, wale, curren$y, chip the ripper, snoop, travis porter, kid cudi, lupe fiasco, boogy, nick-n-beans...i can go on forever but right now music is good. my itunes has been on blast lately.

ive become a hype for crewnecks...bout to rack up on some.
no haircut for a month...i will wait til school starts back and see what im looking like.
90210...

changes: this is the last real nigga separation that i will be doing. if you enjoy the RNS's then let me know. its nothing but my thoughts. also, i will be moving to a new site for the blog and it will be under a new name. thought i would give you the heads up now. if you are a faithful follower, i will keep you updated.

i love my mama, daddy, sisters, niece and nephew

something to think about...

2009-11-24T13:59:00.000-08:00

from day 1 something was different, interesting & ambiguous.

an adventure took place and a friendship began.

missed opportunity with shared passion for life, hip hop and fashion

created a partnership and here we stand.

creators of a new breed.

two completely different individuals bound for greatness...

"better than the past...untouchable by the future"

determination in addition to discipline creates boundless success

the jay-z experience...

2009-11-18T16:46:00.000-08:00

im in story mode because this was my first jay-z concert and it was once to remember.

so im about to take you through most of the journey...enjoy

jay-z, wale and j.cole along with n.e.r.d was on a college tour all over the nation. n.e.r.d's last show was the night before ours and due to some difficulties, jay cancelled the rest of his shows on the tour thus being the show at vanderbilt was his last one. rolling 14 deep we headed to phatkaps boutique to catch wale doing a in-store meet and greet.

wale in phatkaps...(we were late so we caught him on the way out)

the crew posted in phatkaps (dope photo...i know)

by the time we left phatkaps, it was time to head straight to the concert...this is when i started to get excited. before we went to the gymnasium, the whole crew had to jump fresh...in a hotel lobby's bathroom...hahaha...thats how we do.

walking to the door

waiting on everyone else...half the crew took a pic

uncle pip and c.lew

if we dont do anything else...its shoes!

this is what it looked like when we walked in...(video by jmillz)

hbcu experience...

2009-11-09T22:23:00.000-08:00

not ashamed to say it but i will be a 5th year senior that will be graduating from alabama a&m university may 14th, 2010. i have come to experience a few things and its one thats not sitting well with me...

in my opinion, hbcu's focuses too much greek organizations.

***BEFORE I REALLY START SHARING MY OPINION...I HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN EACH AND EVERY GREEK ORGANIZATION...I HAVE RESPECT/LOVE FOR THEM ALL AND I MEAN NO HARM OR DISRESPECT WHEN I SHARE THIS***

a few of my friends are in greek organizations and we were having a conversation, when it hit me...when on a hbcu campus...

its certain words or phrases you might not be able to say that you normally use in everyday conversation or in a joke because an organization has deemed it there's.

you cant wear certain colors to an event or sometimes period or they/people will think that you want to be in that certain organization with those colors.

you cant really listen to certain songs cause they are so called just for that organization when they stroll.

you may not be able to dance a certain way or people will think that you are doing apart of someone's stroll.

i thought to myself...that sucks. you basically have to walk on ice or people will jump down your throat. ***AGAIN NO DISRESPECT*** but damn can i live??? ive come to gripes that there are bigger things in the world then this but when you are in the atmosphere of a hbcu, they make it seem like either you're greek or just a regular ass person.

i will say, MAYBE its something that i just dont see cause im not in one...all im focused on is graduating, making my family happy and building my own empire. this petty stuff that surrounds colleges period is childish and very immature.

this is just my opinion...everybody has one.

im not hating...just my opinion(trey songz video)

2009-11-05T09:30:00.000-08:00

so within the last 24 hrs, trey songz web released his new video invented sex. this has drove the internet or should i say women on the internet crazy.

i would first like to commend trey songz on an excellent marketing scheme on twitter to promote his video. i didnt know that it was really that important. i would also tip my hat to him because the girl in the video is quite the looker. and one more big ups to him because actually like the song.

NOW...i really want to know what it is that trey songz did to make these girls panties all wet and ready to drop?...what?...grab a little ass?...bite a lip?...use some ice?...i dont get it! now im not about to put all my business out in the street, cause my mother reads the blog (hey mom, I LOVE YOU), but i know that plenty of you ladies have been treated like that by a man before and probably didnt get as excited as ya'll were to watch someone else get that same treatment. ya'll might have had an experience like that 2 nights ago and probably didnt appreciate it as much as seeing trey songz.

from the comments that ive seen on facebook and twitter, you would have thought that it was an actual porno by west coast productions. but it wasnt. we have seen that type of behavior in videos before. some of ya'll women looked kind of "bopper'ish"..."track star'ish"..."runner'ish"...if you dont know what those few words mean then ask somebody.

let me please reiterate that i am not hating at all. this is just my opinion but now you women are out here looking for a "trey songz" when you might have something good already with you, trying to get you or maybe havent met you yet. so dont miss out on something good thinking trey is going to walk through your front door. i hope ya'll can come back to reality now.

i cant be the HYPEBEAST, like most will, and post this video but i will give the link so you can watch it, if you havent already.

no hate from me...the song is still dope.

real nigga separation...vol. 6

2009-11-01T21:59:00.000-08:00

oh shit...its volume 6 (i like the way that rhymed). it seemed like yesterday when i was writing vol. 5...oh well. i dont have that much to talk about today. the past two weeks have not been that exciting. a lot of people told me that i let it all out on vol. 5 as if i was holding some stuff inside. i did get a lot out that i didnt even know was there. i just started typing. like im doing now...so lets see how this goes.

this past week i watched 1st and 10 with skip bayless and one of my favorite athletes, chad ochocinco. as i was watching it, ochocinco said something that applied to my life that i never thought about. he said skip bayless makes statements based on 'shock value'. i heard that and let it sit for a second. i then get back on some of the many social networks that im on and see that SOME people (meaning more than ONE) says things about me and its based on shock value. that means they are saying stuff to get my attention or a response out of me. so when skip bayless said something so blasphemous, ochocinco just let it slide off and kept his cool. that is what i deciding to do. so subliminal messages about me can keep coming. i got my eyes focused on more important things...'shock value'...look out for it.

this has been a great week for music. i cant keep up on my itunes. lets see...mike posner mixtape, wiz khalifa mixtape, new lupe, and micheal jackson mixtape (yea i said it)...oh yea and lil wayne. im pretty most of you have that lil wayne mixtapes because i see his quotes everywhere. i listened to it the first day and then i was tired of it. catchy phrases and all but it got boring quick to me. some people acting like its the best thing since barack became president. some niggas try to even rap like wayne...whack!

lets get to some positivity...Unmistakably CooL...ok thats positive enough. i just like seeing the name. i dont know if you know but its going places. there is no looking back.

look behind you, im bout to pass you twice..."

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.

real nigga separation...vol. 5

2009-10-18T21:59:00.000-07:00

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.

lupe fiasco - solar midnite

2009-10-16T11:40:00.000-07:00

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.”

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.

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

im a leave saying this: "As you grow you will outgrow people. It will hurt, we call that growing pains. Even grass grows...hair too, loose ends will stunt your growth."

real nigga separation...vol. 3

2009-09-20T21:58:00.000-07:00

here we go again...2 weeks later with a lot of stuff to get off my chest. let me reassure you that real nigga separation is like a journal/babershop talk for me. this is nothing but my opinion, thoughts and reflection on whats going on. let the separation begin...

im going to make this thought short and quick...lil mama need to sit her ass down...nuff said. the other day i wrote a status message on facebook about kanye west being a human and apologizing to ms. swift. soon after i had a whole book worth of people jumping on kanye about what he did. YES he was wrong for doing that but we all know kanye is a character and he does things like that. it shouldnt have been that much shock in the world. have you ever thought about what this is going to do to the both of their career? taylor will now sell way more records thanks to that stunt and the same people that was bashing kanye will still listen to his music and blog about him. enough about that situation.

there is something that has really been bothering me and my best friend lately. if a person passes away, then let their soul rest. as much as we may miss that person, the things we do when their gone is not going to bring them back. with this being said, i would need people to stop wring on my homie t.mac (tywan mcnulty) facebook page like he's going to say something back. i know it hurts...trust i know but writing on his facebook page is no it. its cool to celebrate his life but c'mon people. prayer is a good way to talk to him not facebook. if you get a reply, then keep writing. (rip tywan mcnulty)

i want to always shout out kreativ.sole for its growth and development. there is a lot of good things to come for us. teelarge, dre2003 & fred the cool...takeover status.

one more rant...INVASION OF BLOGGERS!!!...they are everywhere...shout out to Q from freshnproper.com for inspiring me to blog...but for a lot of other people you know the saying "monkey see, monkey do"...well this is how i feel...

2 week wrap up:

jay-z and kid cudi cd came right on time...it is what i needed in my life

is it possible to have a relationship while you are working on your own business and trying to grow as a person?

im slowly making the transition from loose fit jeans to straight leg jeans...ooo thats tough but NO skinnys for me...hahaha

im proud of my 2 best friends/brothers Mike and Sean for making things happen.

unmistakably cool. :: shirts are coming soon (i promise)

i thought i had my friend back but i really dont know...now i think i lost them to a group of people but thats what they want. (ias/mm...yea one of the 2 or both cause they dont talk to me no more)

"one day...this will be my world"...random quote from kid cudi thats in my head as i post. i could do more but thats sticking out now.

kinda home sick...i miss chicago or maybe just my fam.

as always, got some new theme songs...if you see me, im humming, singing and blasting it.

until next time...

i love my mama, daddy, sisters, niece and nephew

real nigga separation vol. 4...coming soon (2weeks)

peace,
