KiD CuDi, new artist and Cleveland native.... Ohio Stand up... Especially Cuz this dude represents


Yo, so I been bumping this dude on my ipod like non-stop since I download the mixtape. Obsession you might say, no just my new crack. This artist gives us something hip hop heads havent had before, proclaiming fame through originality. It seems as if we have heard many rappers do and say this. However what makes him different is the fact thay he raps about being, broke, his love/hate relationship with Cleveland and his stoner habits, by topping off and saying,"...they called me lame because my swag was different. "You disagree, well you should and this should give you a reason to check out the mixtape. CuDi is definitely bringing something different and might I say good to the table.

"Where the Wild Things Are" Lakai Series

These are 2 previews out of the 4 kicks that Lakai will drop in collaboration with "Where the Wild Things Are." This was my favorite book as a kid. I definitely have to cop these. Can we say back to school gear, or am I too old for back to school shopping?




The classic children’s book by Maurice Sendak “Where The Wild Things Are” is currently being adapting into a feature film by awarding winning film and skate video director Spike Jones. Since Spike is always wearing the Lakai MJ3’s, Lakai decided it would be fitting to make a shoe to tie into the film. Instead of doing just one shoe, Spike thought it would be cool to take it a step further and do something like the Wrench Pilot and Quiet Life Series’ Lakai has done in the past, and the result is a four models series consisting of the Telford, Mariano 2, Howard, and MJ3. The movie has been pushed to late 2009, however; the shoes will be available in stores mid-Summer 2008. Price range from $56 to $76 USD.

Jerry Lewis is a Gun toting Gangsta....




By Alex Dobuzinskis

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian Jerry Lewis was detained by police in Las Vegas late last week when airport screeners found an unloaded gun in his baggage, authorities said on Tuesday.

Lewis, 82, had a small .22-caliber handgun when he arrived at the security screening area on Friday at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, said Officer Ramon Denby, a spokesman for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

The comedian was briefly detained and the gun was seized. Lewis was cited for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, Denby said.

Lewis, half of a wildly successful comedic duo with singer Dean Martin in the 1950s, was traveling to Mount Pleasant, Michigan, to perform a one-man show, a source close to the comedian said.

A spokesman for Lewis, the star of the 1963 movie "The Nutty Professor" and the 1982 movie "The King of Comedy," could not immediately be reached for comment.

The weapon was registered to Lewis and he will need to attend a court hearing to get it back, Denby said.

Since 1966, Lewis has hosted an annual telethon to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Last year, the telethon raised $63.8 million.


I'm weak the "Nutty Professor" is a gun totin' dude. I guess he was tryna do a 187 after the show....LOL!

Kehinde Wiley



A dope artist.



Kehinde Wiley’s portraits of African American men collate modern culture with the influence of Old Masters. Incorporating a range of vernaculars culled from art historical references, Wiley’s work melds a fluid concept of modern culture, ranging from French Rococo to today’s urban landscape. By collapsing history and style into a unique contemporary vision, Wiley interrogates the notion of master painter, “making it at once critical and complicit.” Vividly colorful and often adorned with ornate gilded frames, Wiley’s large-scale figurative paintings, which are illuminated with a barrage of baroque or rococo decorative patterns, posit young black men, fashioned in urban attire, within the field of power reminiscent of Renaissance artists such as Tiepolo and Titian.

Lil Wayne vs. The Rolling Stones

Apparently, the song "Playing with Fire'" on Weezy latest album Tha Carter 3 is similar and a jock from a Rolling Stones classic "Play with Fire." I heard the 2 versions, and they are definitely similar. However, this album has been out for more than a month now and they have beef now? But I think in the world of art you have to ask to borrow, stuff from other cats. I dunno. Do the Rolling Stones just wanna piece of this platinum success?

MIckey Factz - Incredible...

Hey earthlings,

I admit I have been sleepin on killer artists this summer and perhaps my whole hip hop loving life. I'll try harder in the future to give everybody a try. SIKE! Yo, but this kid is mad ill. This is a talent i shoulda been awake on...




Born in the Bronx, the birthplace of hip-hop, Mickey Factz was exposed to music at an early age. As a child his father would rap to him, untill soon enough Factz would start reciting his own rhymes. Mickey watched music videos, studying the performances of his favorite artists. This combination led Factz, at the early age of 8, into a love affair with hip-hop that continues to thrive till this day.

As hip-hop has culturally evolved from it's original days, of the b-boys to that of the d-boys and so forth. Mickey Factz has been steadily crafting what he's coined as "Uber" music. When asked what "Uber" music is, he gestures at the sky and says, "undeniable global music...I don't care where in the world you are, you're rockin' to this shit." To Factz hip-hop music in it's truest essence is about being able to rock out on any track like the forefathers did and currently that lack there of in the genre is what's stagnating its growth. "The music my generation and younger are listening to has expanded beyond funk and soul, we're listening to rock, electronic, house and so forth. I'm always going to be clever with the wordplay and lyrics, but very few rappers can do that on a Royskopp record. That's the lane I ride in. I'm going to do me, and trust, you'll love me for it."

Iraq banned from the Olympics

BAGHDAD (AP)—Just two weeks before the start of the Olympics, Iraq was told Thursday it’s not welcome in Beijing because of a political feud in Baghdad that angered the games’ guardians and exiled a country that arrived to a roaring ovation at the opening ceremony four years ago.

The International Olympic Committee told Iraqi sports officials in a letter that it would uphold its ban imposed in June after the government in Baghdad replaced its national Olympic panel with members not recognized by the IOC...

Obama in Berlin....

BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- Standing before a massive crowd in a city that once symbolized division, Sen. Barack Obama warned Thursday about the dangers of allowing new walls to come between the United States and its allies.


Sen. Barack Obama addresses a crowd Thursday at the Victory Column in Berlin, Germany.



"People of the world, look at Berlin, where a wall came down, a continent came together, and history proved that there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one," Obama said in a speech at Berlin's Victory Column in the Tiergarten park.

"The fall of the Berlin Wall brought new hope. But that very closeness has given rise to new dangers, dangers that cannot be contained.....

On the real this dude needs to stop denying the accounts of him being a CO. I mean records of his past income has been leaked on the internet by people that he use to work with. The fact of the matter is that more than half the rappers that actually talk about drugs and violence made that up in the studio. Lets not forget that it's "only entertainment."

On another note however, if he loses fans or his cred is crushed based on this, it goes to show the feeble mindness that saturates the hip hop culture these days. Cred in the rap game should not mean just guns and drugs.

Obama is a Slave shirt...

When a 25-year-old Manhattan graduate student who was assaulted Tuesday night got dressed that morning, she probably didn’t anticipate that her T-shirt would provoke four teens into shoving her, pulling out her earphones and spitting in her face.

Wearing the $69 T-shirt that sparked the alleged assault, designer Apollo Braun flashes a peace sign. (Photo: )

Then again, with a shirt sporting the slogan, “Obama is my slave,” it may have been wise to consider the possibility.

Now she’s suing the $69 shirt’s designer, Apollo Braun, for “all he’s got,” the designer claims.

But the Israeli-born Braun — born Doron Braunshtein — says what allegedly happened to his now-disgruntled customer isn’t his fault — and that his outrageous design reflects not his views but those of “ordinary WASPs.”

“For a lot of people, when they see Obama, they see a slave. People think America is not ready for a black president,” Braun told Metro from his five-year-old Orchard Street boutique.

Braun claims that after the customer — who did not return repeated calls from Metro — threatened to sue, he contacted his own lawyer, who assured him he was shielded by the

First Amendment from any legal action.

The ugly incident over the ugly shirt took place at 8:30 p.m. in Union Square, Braun told Metro, when four African-American female teenagers accosted the student, cursed at her for her shirt and pushed her. According to the designer, the student walked away, but the girls followed her, one pulling the earphones out of her ears, another spitting in her face.

This isn’t Braun’s first sartorial criticism of the Democratic presidential presumptive nominee. He has also sold shirts with slogans such as “Jews Against Obama,” “Obama = Hitler” and “Who Killed Obama?” — which he claims was so popular, he moved 1,200 pieces.

“I can’t stand Obama,” Braun says, adding that it’s not because the Illinois senator is black. “That’s the only thing I like about him. He opens the door for other minorities.”

“He reminds me of Adolf Hitler,” Braun explained, adding he does not like Obama because “he is a Muslim” — a thoroughly debunked myth.
