If you don’t understand the title of this post then don’t worry. But for the rest of the b-boys out there maybe you can relate. This new Cadbury ad is set to the music of Freestyle’s “Don’t Stop The Rock” so get out the cardboard and the shell toes because you know what time it is…b-boy time!

Kanye shared on his blog these glow-in-the-dark LV hi-tops and these women’s sneakers as well. Would you guys (or girls) rock these?

The Chia Obama

What the hell is this world coming to? I can’t decide if this is racist or just plain creepy. You can get it at Amazon for $20 but don’t bring it to work. No idea how those HR folks will react.

Obama rejects Diddy’s smooth Sean John tuxedo designs

As we have seen from the Obama girls and J. Crew, wearing the right brand on Inauguration Day can launch the company to the next level with the added publicity. And if there is a publicity opportunity, then you know Diddy is not far behind. Here are two sketches that Diddy and Sean John designers presented to Obama’s team in hopes that Obama would wear a Sean John tux for the Inaugural celebrations.
I’m no fashion critic but to me the Sean John tux designs are pretty smooth…maybe a little too smooth for the President of the United States, but perfect for the President of the Bad Boy enterprise. Instead, Barack decided to go with his designer of choice Hart Schaffner Marx, a Chicago-based menswear firm that also designed a majority of his suits. As you can see this tux is a little more conservative in design but he still wears it much better than that Bush guy.

Kanye West’s new “Dune” Louis Vuitton sneakers

You saw the white Louis Vuitton sneakers that Kanye designed, where he went on record saying that was just one of five sneakers he created for the luxury company. Well now here is design number two, in the form of these all red ones inspired by the movie Dune of all things. Kanye unveiled the sneakers at a Louis Vuitton show where he talked about the sneaker design:
“The inspiration came from a jacket with a huge collar in the movie ‘Dune.’ Most sneakers focus on the tongue, so I wanted to do something different.”
The sneakers will be available via Louis Vuitton starting in June. No word yet on price and how exclusive these will be. Different colorway shown below as well. Pics via: CL


Video: Jay-Z vs. Kobe, who owns the power on the streets?
Our homies over at Jump Off TV sent us this video and we were instantly hooked. Footage taken from a barber shop in Queens where the debate jumps off about who has more influence in popular culture, rappers or athletes? Specifically Jay-Z or Kobe? This barbershop needs a weekly online show…very entertaining. Who do you guys think has more influence? Hip-hop ballers or real b-ballers?
