Nike Zoom Kobe V “Away”

27 11 2009

The Nike Zoom Kobe IV made such an impact in the sneaker world that everyone expects the Kobe V to make an even bigger one. But with the recent released pictures of the first colorway (Chaos), many started to doubt the V and are starting to believe that the IV is the best Kobe shoe ever made. But with the black/purple Away bring some Kobe lovers back to appreciate the V? You be the judge…..

The Tao of Wu

13 11 2009

If I ever had to recommend a book to someone, it would be The Tao of Wu. The RZA has done it again, if you ever wanted to know what drove him to be The RZA, then pick up this book. After reading this book, you view life in a different way, hip-hop culture in a different way, and get an even stronger respect for the group we’ve all grown to blast in our speakers, The Wu-Tang Clan.

I can’t even begin to go into detail just how much knowledge and wisdom is in this book, with excerpts from the bible, poems, personal lyrics from the RZA himself, I guarantee you will not be able to put this book down. Stop by a bookstore near you and pick up a copy of The Tao of Wu.





GANZA Art Show at 50/50

10 11 2009

Ish accompanied by his girl Mari, stopped by 50/50 to meet with Rob and Tasha and check out the GANZA Art Show taking place at 50/50.

GANZA is one sick artist, has a great way of expressing himself through his art and bringing todays issues and conflicts to life.

We got a chance to check out the shop again as well, checked on VP sales, and just had a good time while the DJ played some sick underground hip-hop instrumentals.

Here are a few flix from that night.
