Malik Yusef - What You Made Me
Malik supports Fashion Geek real hard (wearing a grey FGC crewneck here). Kanye posted this joint today on his blog and it definitely could be “the illest rhyme of the year.”

De La Soul - Church
from The Grind Date (2004)
produced by 9th Wonder

For the second day in a row, I present to you a track from De La’s oft-overlooked gem The Grind Date. If you need a pick me up, listen to this song. If you want some advice, listen to this song. If you want to bounce your head to a full, driving beat, listen to this song. If you’re having doubts in general about life, listen to this song. If you’re…

Fresh new Obama shirts by Fashion Geek Clothing?!?

YO! I’m about to drive over to Leaders1354 here in Chicago (the southside location) to check out some new Obama t-shirts by Fashion Geek Clothing (that’s my BRAND and I’m doing the blogging/web stuff… check out the Fashion Geek Tumblr… you recognize the names in the pictures, repping the DOPEST logo around: a polo shirt sporting, black-rimmed glasses wearing duck).

OH. MY. GOD.
please tell me these are not limited and will be released elsewhere. I will pay upwards to $300 for these things.
davidcho:
The Marty McFly Hyperdunks are releasing at Undefeated in Santa Monica tomorrow, Wednesday, July 3rd.

The toungue is the cool part!

The Hyperdunk is Nike’s special Olympic shoe, worn by everyone from Kobe to the Chinese National Team.

Most of the colorways that are seeing a release are distinctly Olympic flavored, but these go a different direction…

These have GOT to be Nike’s segue into the Air Yeezy hype. Kanye’s model is clearly influenced by the original McFlys (I believe he’s already rocked a colorway similar to these) and… guess what… the McFlys “glow in the dark.”

What better way to continue building hype (taste?) for Ye’s sneaker than this! If I’m not mistaken, the Yeezy’s glow in the dark as well. These aren’t my bag, but they’re interesting.

Bishop Lamont ft. The New Royales - City Lights
from The Confessional Mixtape (2008)

L.A.’s Bishop Lamont has a ridiculous flow, something I discovered thanks to his 2007 collaboration with Detroit producer Black Milk, Caltroit. On this joint, DJ Khalil lays down an atmospheric, tweaked-out update of that 2001-era Dr. Dre sound. It’s The New Royales, however, that give the song it’s umpfhf (umf? Whatever… you get it).

As the chorus kicks in, the backdrop becomes a rock/rap/electro mash to surround crooner Erik Alcock’s impassioned cry. He’s a dead-ringer for Bono on this one… in the good way.

The New Royales are just appearing on most people’s radar. They’re an eclectic group, co-signed by some of hip-hop’s elite, and this won’t be the last time you hear (of) them.

“So, it appears that I’m in this for real. As such I feel compelled to lay down some guidelines for myself. Perhaps this will all look rather quaint years from now when I get bored of my mountain of million dollar bills and scan through my archives in search of a quick confirmation of my naivete, but, hell, this won’t compare to “Purdue 2005: 10-1, national championship contender.”

Obama works out in my building.

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 21:48:00 -0500

via AP:

Despite a whirlwind travel schedule, presumed Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama always seems to find time to squeeze in a workout.
The Illinois senator dashed to a gym near his South Side home for a short workout Sunday during his day off from the campaign trail.
Obama sported black track pants, a gray T-shirt and a Chicago White Sox baseball cap as he headed to the gym inside the Regents Park apartment building.

I live in Regents Park, no big deal. It’s his home gym. I missed him yesterday, though.

I pass his house every day while on my 5-minute drive to work, too.

I’m in the process of uploading an entire new batch of donuts for my J Dilla Muxtape. Recognize.

My hope is that it’s intense as hell and will reward you, the listener, for riding along from song 1 until the end. Because that’s the incredible journey through the human condition that Jay Dee a.k.a. J Dilla provides for me.
