I'm not the biggest fan of Drizzy (unlike Brennan over here haha), but damn this song is nice. Probably my favorite Drake song I've heard. Look out for 9th Wonder on Drake's sophomore album.

Apologies.
As you may have noticed, posting has been minimal lately. We apologize to you followers, we have both been busy with other things. Aristo has been juggling work, and midterms. I have been busy with work, work and more work. Right now, it is busy season at Momentum ... seeing as the weather is changing and we are receiving lots of new product. Also, we are working on designs for a possible t-shirt project we are going to release in about a month. We are really stoked on this. Please stay posted, and ListenUp. Sorry, for the confusion.
California: Day 8. (July 22nd, 2010)
It was so miserable that day, It was cold and windy. We went to the beach, I do not know why. People were swimming in the ocean, I couldn't understand that.
This isn't normally what I would wear to the beach:
Diamond Crew Neck, Comune Waxed Denim, and Futura Dunk Highs.
After about three hours of complaining about the weather on the beach. It finally got nice. I changed because I started to sweat.
The pigeon were back and better than ever...
Then it began to get cloudier and colder, so we left to do some shopping.
I was pretty excited to go shop because I heard about a cool sneaker boutique when I stopped by 5&ADime, they told me to check out Blends. Blends was super hard to find though, GPS told us it was at one place but when we got there, we were 3 blocks away from it, so we walked there.
I was super stoked when I got there, they had a NikeSB campaign for breast cancer going on. They had a DJ in-store, free drinks, and had these on display for bidding:
Keep A Breast was the campaign, it was exclusively to the 3 Blends stores in Cali.
There layout of the store was my favorite I have ever seen. Each shoe was properly displayed on the wall like a gallery for art. They carried the likes of... Jordan, Nike, Nike SB, Vans OTW, Converse Black Flag, and more.
I picked up some black suede Converse Black Flag boat shoes for $55.
The Campaign co-sided with the re-release of the Brainwreck Dunk High (that I already have) and the likes of other Todd Bratrud works.
The Brainwrecks were displayed along the way, I really liked this look.
They did carry some clothing, but it was minimal, and only carried 'Premium'(quote) garments.
Dangerous
As time crunches down, and we approach the release date of his Sophmore Album. You are going to start hearing more and more from Mr. Rager (Cudi) himself. I recently found out the he was performing at a night club in the city, I wanna go... but it's one of 'those' clubs... we will see what happens.
Here is a track that was recorded two years ago, but will be seen on an upcoming mixtape entitled "Biggy Jiggy S.G Exclusives 30":
In My Lifetime (Remix) prod. Ski Beatz
Heard this off the season 6 finale of Entourage a few weeks back. The song is a remix of Jay-Z's first single, which came out before the release of his debut and now classic album: Reasonable Doubt. I wish I had heard this earlier, but ah well, it's still one of my favorite Jay tracks nonetheless.
Doo-Wops and Hooligans
It is a rare occurrence to catch me listening to anything other than hip-hop. However, one thing I like to listen to that most hip-hop artists don't have, is a mellifluous voice. Peter Hernandez aka Bruno Mars is my latest favorite artist because of his geuninely good singing voice. He is part of a producer group called the Smeezingtons, who are responsible for many popular hits like Nothin' On You by B.o.B (which was where I first heard of him). Check out this video. It may not be the greatest song, but it's catchy and you can't deny that steez. His upcoming debut album Doo-Wops and Hooligans (set to be released October 5th 2010) is one I highly look forward to. Here's the tracklist:
1. Grenade
3. Our First Time
4. Runaway Baby
5. The Lazy Song
6. Marry You
7. Talking To The Moon
8. Liquor Store Blues ft. Damian Marley
9. Count On Me
As an added bonus, here's one of my favorite Smeezington produced songs:
Blue Eyes Meets Bed-Stuy
My cousin introduced me to this awesome collaboration back when I was in Grade 8. I wasn't a huge B.I.G fan back then, and didn't really start loving it until a few years later when I thought I was sooo gangsta. The concept is simple but it works surprising well: Biggie rapping over Frank Sinatra's instrumentals. Be sure to listen to one of my favorite collabs of all-time. Download here. My favorite song? Everyday Struggle/A Day In The Life Of A Fool. ListenUp!
California: Day 7. (July 21st, 2010)
We just relaxed around the house and then went for a walk.
We stumbled upon Batting Cages and a Driving Range at the bottom of the Canyon. I was pretty bad at baseball. I played 'little league' as a kid... but obviously was not meant to play it.
I was alot better at golf... look at that form.
After enjoying the Driving Range and Batting Practice... We were heading to the beach to play beach volleyball. My Aunty and Uncle are in a beach volleyball league... which is pretty cool. No ref, just for fun. So after our Cali relatives sized us up... Canadians who play volleyball (Mom has been playing volley ball for over 20 years, she also went to 'Worlds' in 2007 for volleyball. Leo played college volleyball or something. Jen, has been playing volleyball for about 6 years, club and school. I just played Senior Volleyball, and I am 6'3".) I thought they made a good 1 game deal, after seeing the team. Mainly, over the age of 50... We were in for a treat.
This is me... After we lost... Such a shitty game. Keeping in mind we played against only two people... We had four subs. They were pretty athletic though.
After the utter defeat... We headed over to a really nice beachside restaurant.
It started to get dark, and I got tired.
California: Day 6. (July 20th, 2010)
Today, we decided to check out an area near the bay, where they have little souvenir shops and interesting restaurants. We experienced a little rain and cold today, which was a little weird for Cali.
We sat on the patio at this Italian Restaurant, it seemed really dirty there... the food was good. But there was a lot of pigeons hanging around the tables. I was really annoyed and irritated by the pigeons and the little italian boy behind that tree... He kept on yelling, and running at the pigeons. I wanted to throw him in the bay.
Example 1: Pigeon on Table.
Example 2: Pigeons lurking.
This man really put a smile on my face(standing up with grey hair). He was heavily intoxicated and singing italian songs to everyone he could see. Party animal, that everyone didn't want to talk to. I did, he was rad. Serenading the woman. My future...
WDWWT (Just Do It Tee, 10 DEEP Shorts, Green Janoski's)
We then hit up a mall to do some shopping. There was a lot of rad shops in the mall, basically department stores and women's clothing. So, I just cruised around the mall. I actually purchased a hot beverage in the mall that was how cold it was, #OutdoorMallsInCali. Throughout the whole trip, I wanted to buy a couple of tank tops, so I checked out Macy's. Not only did they have tank tops... they were on sale for $9 and they were playing Wale "Beautiful Girls" (one of my favorite songs). This was the 'hippest' Macy's I have ever seen.
After leaving the mall, I wanted to check out 5&ADime. 5&ADime is a local SanDiego streetwear boutique, specializing in exclusive brands. The shop was really rad, looked liked an old school cigar shop (if I knew what that looked like). Basically made of wood. haha. The staff was really rad, and product was really nice too. Check out what I bought:
They even wrapped it up.
Pretty cheap too.
LA Dodgers Spin Off from Barney Zone.
Henley Tank Top from Amongst Friends.
