Drake's first studio album, Thank Me Later released June 15th 2010. I have been listening to it everyday, more than twice a day since June 7th 2010... About 18 days. Thank Me Later sold 1,447,000 records in North America in the debut week. Potentially, my pick for the best album of 2010.
I have not been more thoroughly impressed by a debut album. I have been waiting for this album for quite some time now, honestly I was worried Drake would crash into the hype and not get past it. But, he didn't disappointment me. I have been trying to narrow down my favorite track of TML but it was so hard to find my favorite track... seeing as every track is a potential hit. Every song has a good amount of R&B and Hip Hop. After, discussion with inno and Hello Saskatoon, here is what I came up with(Best to Least Favorite):
-Shut It Down (Feat. The-Dream)
-Unforgettable (Feat. Jeezy)
-Up All Night (Feat. Nicki Minaj)
-Karaoke
-Light Up (Feat. Jay-Z)
-Fireworks (Feat. Alicia Keys)
-The Resistance
-Over
-Miss Me (Feat. Lil Wayne)
-Find Your Love
-Cece's Interlude
-Show Me A Good Time
-Fancy (Feat. T.I. & Swizz Beatz)
-Thank Me Now
Since I am such a big Star Wars fan, I've been following this line ever since it was announced last year. Check out this awesome Adidas Originals video, which is a spin on the Cantina scene in A New Hope. Featuring the likes of David Beckham, Daft Punk, Snoop Dogg, Jay Baruchel and DJ Neil Armstrong. Classic.
This video is super sick! It makes me wanna throw on a suit and bike around!
British accessory designer, Harris Elliot tapped film maker Manny Bonett to produce this film for a new H by Harris collection called Manouevre, based on “the fixed gear individual. Men and women whose lifestyle is on the edge.” The line will be stocked in premier retail outlets such as DSM and Browns, Harris saw it fit to celebrate his first year of trading with a short web film. Enjoy!- Hypebeast

“When Dallas isn’t working hard; selling refrigerators at Rona, you can find him at Momentum Marketplace being a ’shop rat’ … every Saturday”-Brennan Elliott
HUF has been probably my overall favorite apparel/streetwear line this entire two season span. They always bring that clean look to a colorful and unique concept. They never over-do it. HUF snapbacks are like no other, if you want something that fits properly and looks hella 'tight'... check it.
The burgundy one is mine... (I hope I can have it... haha)
I really think the biggest change to my wardrobe this year will be tank tops... I have worn tank tops in the past, but I do not have enough to make a bi-weekly cycle without wearing them sooo many times.
I am stoked on these Freshjive tank tops that are shipping in the Summer, they give off that retro/summer vibe... it makes me want to wear a vintage NBA starter cap and grow a greasy mustache... that is good in my books.
M.I.A. is about to release a new album called, Born Free. Being featured in numerous magazines and press the last week, you know she is going to produce something good. I have heard a couple tracks from the album, I like what I hear... very different from one of my favorite albums, "Kala".
