The new Lebron chalk joint.

Definitely one of the dopest commercials in a minute.

Q Tip: To Swag or not to Swag.

Q Tip discusses the era of "swag". Now, I'm all for looking fresh to death, but Q Tip has a point here. He states "your look, swag, and business acumen, have taken priority over your actual music". I think he is on to something to an extent. We've got dudes like Plies, Ace Hood, ect that can't rap, aren't interesting, and are essentially just jackin' the image of dudes like Lil Wayne. But conversely, I think this new crop of young guys: Wale, Asher Roth, Charles Hamilton, BOB, ect are coupling together that swag, appearance, and showmanship with some very creative music. And wasn't hip-hop born out of a highly stylized image? Just look at Africa Bambaataa:


Now that's swagger on a hundred thousand trillion.

Scal lookin' like quite the shotta.

I've always thought Scal was mad overrated and only a fan-favorite because he is a white Irish dude in one of the most white-bread sports cites around, but this pic just look so dope.

Some Dope Clark U Ish

I went to college with Mr. Green at Clark U in Worcester. Knew the kid, but wasn't best bros with him. The amount of ligit hip-hop heads in my class was pretty much limited to me, this kid George, and one of my best friends Andrew. Conversely the class above us seemed to have much more. Anyway, this kid Aaron Green aka Mr. Green is starting to do big things with the MC Pace One. This is one of the first tracks I've heard of their 2008 album The Only Color the Matters is Green. Once I'm done writing up these job descriptions and recruitment plans for this lame Strategic Human Resource Management class, I will head home and check the full album.

Also, I can't get over how hilarious this image is.

89' NBA Dunk Contest

Being a short little Italian dude, I've always been partial to short athletes. The Pats jersey I own is Wes Welker, and I was all about Mugsy Bogues. That's why watching Spud Webb throw is down is so amazing. I can't even get rim, let alone dunk a full sized ball. Anyone know where I can get a Spud Webb jersey in a size medium or small? I can never find jerseys that aren't L or XL. Also, this Kenny "sky" Walker dude can dunk. Being a mid-80s baby, I really didn't get to see much of him.

Big ebay auction since Manny's grill.

I know I'd personally love for Charles Oakley, one of the NBA's greatest enforcers to come to my house and make dinner.
