THIS HAPPENED.

So facebook has yet again tried to mess up my day. Saw this post earlier that tried to compare men's fashion of the 1950's to Souljah Boy and Bow Wow?!? That's like comparing Miles Davis to Waka Flocka. True, there was a lot more standard back in the day, but there was also less crack, weed, heroin, cocaine, and meth.

Needless to say I felt a bit offended. Even though images of young black men tend to make them look pathetic, chances are society is to blame. Let's not be naive, the fact stands that there are still conservative, stylish, cultured brothers in this generation. This is my reply:

J DILLA CHANGED MY LIFE TOO

Today is JD's birthday. In my opinion, as well as yours, he is the greatest producer of all time. If you have never heard of him, check out the Stussy documentary below. Celebrate the life.

RIP Don Cornelius

Lianne La Havas - Forget (TIP's New Jack Thing Rework)

I wish I could explain why this song sounds so good, but I can't.

So just listen.

I Felt Like Posting A Picture Of Me

I had on this cool hooded cardigan with this blue jean button-up and it looked dope, so I asked  young Kaydin to take a picture of it, and I put it on my blog.

STOP SOPA!

via FightTheFuture.org

DEAR CONGRESS,

I am writing to you as a voter in your district. I urge you to vote "no" on cloture for S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act, on Jan. 24th. The PROTECT IP Act is dangerous, ineffective, and short-sighted. It does not deserve floor consideration. I urge my representative to vote "no" on SOPA, the corresponding House bill.

Over coming days you'll be hearing from the many businesses, advocacy organizations, and ordinary Americans who oppose this legislation because of the myriad ways in which it will stifle free speech and innovation. We hope you'll take our concerns to heart and oppose this legislation by voting "no" on cloture.

The video below discusses the Senate version of the House's Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). In the Senate the bill is called the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA). SOPA has gotten more attention than PIPA because it was moving faster in the legislative process. But PIPA is just as dangerous, and now it is moving faster.

PIPA would give the government new powers to block Americans' access websites that corporations don't like. The bill lets corporations and the US government censor entire websites and cut sites off from advertising, payments and donations.

This legislation will stifle free speech and innovation, and even threaten popular web services like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook.


The bill is scheduled for a test vote in the Senate on Jan. 24th: We need to act now to let our lawmakers know just how terrible it is. Will you fill out the form above to ask your lawmakers to oppose the legislation and support a filibuster?

Helen Marie - He Say She Say

My homegirl Helen Marie released this ill, soulful joint produced by Loose Screws. The lyrics are convicting and the sounds that blanket around her vocals are hypnotizing. The synths are flat out dope. I didn't see this collabo from Helen & Screws coming, but the execution is pretty flawless. Definitely gotta cop the Prologue project by Farfetched!

Give He Say She Say a listen
