Lacoste /// Spring x Summer 2010

i don't bang with Lacoste too much cause they're not the official Polo creators, as much as they want to be. they do have some pretty fine things for men especially on the HIGH high end. they make some of the best khakis & breezepants for men; some of the best material & design work - butttt the reality is, that shxt is only made for white guys with a size 28 waist, smh. fail. i guess they don't believe that there ARE black men who DON'T dress or don't WANT to dress like what they always see. nevertheless, Lacoste, do your thing.

Si vous plait.

aight, today has been a music-driven day & most of it hasn't been hip-hop - until i found out one of my new favorite producers is & has been working on a new LP.
Onra put out "Chinoiseries" back in 2007 & that joint was crack. he took some chinese & vietnamese samples & songs, chopped them all up & made one of the best beat tapes, in my opinion. i was scrolling & surfing & ran into him about to drop a new joint entitled "Long Distance". its slated for April so this should be grand. i never understood why/how underground artists & producers/DJs can set a date & stick with it but mainstream people or people with a major deal, always end up pushing their stuff back & then WE hear it & it wasn't worth it, lol.

anyway, if you ain't got "Chinoiseries" download it here & be waiting on the new joint.

Saturday Fever.


i think i've gotten a little out of touch with the side of me where i keep my mouth closed & let life play itself out. under normal circumstances (nowadays) i attack anything & everything head-on, consequences included. but sometimes i sit & think about those consequences & retarded looks on peoples' faces i get when i just accept alotta things that can't be magnified, nor altered, for the way they are. now NATURALLY, i don't take alotta things for face value, being that i see more behind whats being given or shown - but i also understand that there are things that you CAN'T really put your finger on & just have to accept them. thats just how it is. recently i've accepted the fact that i think alot stronger & FASTER than most of the people around me; so apologizes to those individuals if what you tell, explain, cater or sell to me, has already been taken into consideration. just know that my mind probably has been there a few times beforehand & got no answer that was solid enough to go off of or to make a rational decision off of. *sips apple juice* - i think i put this side of myself on the back burner to ride up front where everything is more enlarged, fancy & at my fingertips --- & i got distracted. i rotated with driving & being a side-seat passenger, but the elements in which have been placed around me, have allowed me to initiate certain things that i, myself, may not have been ready for - or for me to GO the route of going head-on with individuals, delivering them (or at least trying to) from what they THINK they know, to what they ALREADY know & making it plain as the Bible says (KJV x Old Testament Habakkuk 2:2). so today & until i feel that its safe for me to do otherwise, i'll go back to how i was before everything turned sour about 3 years ago & take the backseat on pretty much 90% of what i know, deal with or have my hands in - & let the other passengers take the wheel. guaranteed its not gonna be a fun ride because my thinking according to them is to angular or "not solid" or BAD for a lack of a word, lmao. with knowing these things, imma make sure i wear my seatbelt.
