Theophilus London: Wine and Chocolate

Brooklyn's own Theophilus London is back with more smooth hip hop. Overall, I enjoy most of his tunes (with the occasional wtf moment) and I usually chill out with the head bopping beats. "Wine and Chocolate" is really good driving music and the music video is rather interesting. The video, which is directed by Chris Dunn had my eyeballs swerving back and forth. Chris splits the screen and plays the video in real time and also in reverse. When you watch the video you'll see what I mean. Enjoy.

Publish clothing

Many brands come and go and rightfully so. There is not much longevity with many brands. However, one will come along once and a while with much potential. Publish clothing has been around for a couple of years now and what I've seen, I really like. This is their first look book video and I am hoping they make another, fast!

Virgil Abloh: Kanye's stylist

I know that many celebrities have their own stylists but I always thought Ibn Jasper was Kanye's. Nope, it turns out that it is Virgil Abloh who has opened up a shop named RSVP with one of his partners. I've seen this guy around with Kanye and honestly had no idea he was a stylist. Does Kanye need one? Here is a little behind these scenes of some of his work and I am truly digging his gold Jesus piece.

McFly's closet

What else can I say except...DAMN!! I just need one pair of these. But 2015, 2015 will have powered laces!!! This will change up the sneaker game big time. What's next? Flying cars? Not sure were ready for that but I am ready for these.

Vegas baby, Vegas

It has been a few years since I've been to Vegas. I wasn't entirely sure if I was going to head to Vegas this past weekend(Easter 2011). The trip for me was speculation. I knew about the trip because I was invited about a month prior. However, what was the point? I knew one person well and the others I meet once or twice. One of those member were drunk as hell the first time I met her (you know who you are). How much fun could I really have? "I need to work", was my thought process. With the insistence of my friend Nic and new friend Veronica (sis) I decided to purchase a flight leaving Los Angeles on Saturday night and arrive in Las Vegas an hour later. Why not? Not knowing people has never stopped me from engaging in activities in the past. I actually love to meet new people and experience different things.
Life has a way of working in your favor because as soon as I arrived at the Venetian hotel I was greeted with love (drink ready for me) and I should add that I was looking dapper with my bow tie. I also got us kinda plugged into club Marqee (Kinda, sorry guys, especially Jeff. But all the ladies got in free). So with my 6 new Vegas buddies we ventured off and I must say that I have not had as much fun or laughed as hard in a 24hr period in a very long time. We were busting jokes, drinking, meeting new friends, dancing, meeting more people, lost some friends, lost cell phones, some people were making out with girls who love it if your 28, rescued lost friends, ate a 4am breakfast, walked in on people having sex, busted more jokes and eventually got some sleep (very little). This was only the first night. The next day of course was a recovery day but the drive back (I did not fly) was even funnier than the trip. We had so many fun experiences as we began to recall our night. We also had to recall experiences for people who were too messed up to remember what happened. We danced some Michael Jackson, listened to some J Dilla and even popped in some Daft Punk.

I was super glad that I went to Vegas. I did not know what to expect, however I went with it. I want to shout out my Vegas hommies and say thank you to Veronica, Candice, Nic, Jeff, John and Nel. Thank you for a fun experience. Thank you for making me laugh and thank you for your love. This trip is one that will definitely be difficult to top, however I will try.

So, not sure if I buy what these guys are saying. Style, all of these styles have been done and they have copied them from other people. Artist are creative with some things, fashion is always an iffy ground. However, I do enjoy their swag and the way the video is shot more than anything.
