Remy Ma is a dumb bitch and smh @ Papoose

So Remy Ma- the bitch that walks around with a two-tone weave as if it's a good look was found guilty of shooting her girl in the stomach. If I were a gangsta bitch, I would make sure that whatever transgression I made against the law, I can eat that charge up so quick that no one would even remember it for a second. That's really gangsta. Being gangsta aint howling loud enuff for me to hear you all the way from Joburg, South Africa. Yeah, she cried like a little bitch when they told her she faces 25 yrs. Dumb Bitch. lol@ Papoose tryina make an honest woman out of her skank ass before she goes to jail - you gotta love this Ghetto Love Story. Why don't hood moms teach their daughters how to be ladies? I mean, I'm somewhat rough around the edges but if I need your ass shot up, I'll make a call and it'll be done. I don't need to do the damn shit myself. Real bosses have minions. I got mines...

In other ghetto ridiculous (in this case, ghetto fabulous more called for) news... Trina aka the one who said Tha Baby, has her album "Still The Baddest dropping this week. No doubt there'll be a song in there somewhere dedicated to Weezy F. Baby, Please Say the Baby- I wonder if she ever got rid of that Wayne tat that she got back in '06. Shouts out to YBF for the pic.


And now for the Ghetto Ridiculous...Scuse my French but...

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH BEANIE SIGEL???? THIS DUDE CAN'T STAY OUT OF JAIL!

Hov is always going on about how Beans is his boy and blah, blah, blah and he's gonna free Sigel but how do you go about saving someone who clearly doesn't wanna be saved? He knows that he's got all that Jay money waiting for him so he's got the junkie brother/drunken uncle syndrome- he's got enuff money so he doesn't feel like he has to work too hard. He's gonna keep fuckin up til someone actually gets his mind right... Shouts out to the really ghetto mothafucka that keeps going back to jail...You can't blame this one on his environment, so now I'm just gonna put it down to a case of Natural Selection. All I have to say to Jay right now is that his boy is on a path of self destruction and instead of rapping about it, he should Free Sigel. They tried to make him go to rehab & he said no, no, NO! Drugs are bad, kids.

I'm on my sneaker shit...Chuck Taylor All-Star Gold Zipper

I have no words. Only available in Hong Kong or on ebay. Certainly not at your local South African Converse stockist. Watch me get em. Watch you sip on that haterade and hate, hate, hate!!

I'ma keep a cool head and stay out the news headlines...

....that was T.I's M-O according to his track Bring Em Out on his Urban Legend album...guys can't stay outta jail man.
It's been reported that T.I will be pleading guilty to a weapons charge that dates back to his October October 2007 arrest and subsequent indictment. Ja ne... It's hard out here fo' a pimp.

Since today seems like Sneaker Day...

Coming from S.A, the best Converse you’ll get are plain black/white/red
or corduroy or some other lame shit- and quiet simply: I'M FED UP! Through my travels and online surfing, I’ve seen some really interesting colours, shades and fabrics used on Chucks that go beyond the usual wack ass garbage that South African consumers are fed. I'd venture to say that the S.A market gives a sizeable chunk of revenue towards Converse, yet we still get all the usual and hella boring Chucks dumped into the market. Either Converse S.A needs to step up their game or employ some young people who are more in touch. (does Converse even really have an S.A office??? Those people don’t even have a real website.)

On another note, I’ve been seeing some nice Converse kicks released to mark the 100^th anniversary of Converse. Basically what they’ve done is commission 100 of the world’s creative designers, artists and musicians to design their unique Converse. 50 have apparently already been designed, expressing each individual artist’s commentary on HIV/AIDS. New releases can be seen on the Converse website. And no, it's not a local site. Pics below.

PUMA CLYDE - POISON PACK

I saw these a few weeks ago and wasn't sure if I was feelin em. So I went back tot he site and checked em out and I've decided that I like em. My fav's = the strawberry frogs

THE STORY SO FAR:

Puma dreamt up three patterns and colourways based on unique and distinctive textures taken from different species of the Poison Dart frog from Central America. In reality, the bright colours repel predators, and indicates their toxicity. But of course, just as humans do with their feelings/emotions; some reptiles imitate poisonous colours to outsmart predators.


First pair is Dendrobates pumilio (or Strawberry frog)
Second pair (the green) is Dendrobates leucomelas (or Yellow-Banded frog)
Third is Dendrobates azureus (or Okipipi frog)

A Sneak Peek...

Just a few of my babies...it's really hard to find hot kicks as a chick- esp in S.A. so I'm proud of my little collection. I have many more pairs of shoes and kicks but these are some of my fav's- plus I recently went on a binge; thanks to my brother's wedding. I have recently retired my tweed dunks (not pictured)-I think I need to hunt down another because they became such a staple of my look and now I'm ashamed of what they look like right now.

The Cool Kids- Gold and A Pager

Straight out of Chicago, these boys hit the e-streets with their track "Black Mags". Think Lupe and skateboarding, except these retro rap boys ride BMX bikes. Mikey and Chuck bring 80's type bass-heavy beats reminiscent of Eric B and the like. Listen to/download the track here and let me know what you think of these boys. Shouts out to my brother Ruli for putting me onto this.

Hottie of the Month: March

TERRENCE HOWARD

Although he acted in Dead Presidents and in Sunset Park ('95 & '95), I didn't much attention to Terrence Howard until he played the shit-causing friend Quentin in The Best Man. I fell in love, but I thought I would get over my crush...not so: it's almost 10 yrs later and I'm still in love with Terrence. I consider his role as Djay in Hustle & Flow to be his groundbreaking role: He made the most ignorant people turn around and take notice of the fine chocolate man with interesting eyes. I cringe when people mistake Cuba Gooding for him- they're so different and it's not fair. Not only is he sexy as hell but my oh my...what an amazing actor, and his awards and nominations are testimony to that talent.

D'banj on MTV Base Player

For the show that I work on, I had to create short aspirational pieces on influential young Africans. 2008 EMA winner D'banj was one of the people I chose to profile. Let me know your thoughts :)

Video: Olu Mantain- Yahooze

Big Naija flossin in this video lol It's a few months old but I dig this song.

I Need to put Superfly on Blast for this one!

I don't know dude and if I did, I think I would deny him straight the fuck up! I found him on my way out of Zambezi (or Club 676- whatever that place is called)and he was only happy to oblige. Someone told him it's a good look. What say you?
