Pete Rock's Nike Air Force 1 Sneakers

Threads (Hall of Fame & Futura)

Threads featuring upside down fitted hats from Hall of Fame and a Nike New York Yankees shirt designed by Futura with the Futura pointman in a Yanks uniform. 

Here's Futura talking about his love of baseball and other Nike releases.

And in case you missed it, Futura's Cathedrals of the Game photo collection of baseball ballparks is on a .406 level of greatness.

I have this habit of leaving multiple browser windows (with multiple tabs in each) open. There's a ton of cool shit on this internet thing. This is a habit that I'm working to break, so as I close some windows, here are some more great links.

• The 50 Sexiest Songs Of All Time - "These are, literally, the 50 most popular songs about sex ever, as based on each song's performance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart from August 4, 1958 (the inception of the Hot 100 chart) through the Jan. 16, 2010 issue." You can watch the video of every song and read the sexiest lyric.
• Stones Throw Valentine's Jams Podcast - on a related note... This is mixed by Dam-Funk, J. Rocc, James Pants, Peanut Butter Wolf and Mayer Hawthorne.
• Primitive Spring Campaign Video featuring Brenda Lynn & Shay Maria - I enjoy this video because of the music and big red cups.

• All Gone Book - Every year since 2006, All Gone has put the best "street culture items" of the year in a book. Some pretty dope stuff. You can check out the digital versions and buy the 2009 book on their site...but hurry up, before they're all gone. (I had to.)

• Ben & Jerry's flavor graveyard - I find this amazing interesting. I want to try about 87% of these flavors. For a straight up list, check the wiki BJ discontinued flavor list.

"Yous guys."

JIm Jones is wearing a Red Sox hat in his new video

He's also wearing a Yankees hat. Hey New York Jim Jones fans, how do you feel about that?...Na Na Nana Nana

Whak Hat

Seriously, who is going to wear a hat that says "WHAK" on it?

my soon to be new hat

The Benny Gold Doughboy fitted. Yup, it's a B (and not a Detroit Tigers D).

Time to boycott Undefeated

Yes, it's Celtics-Lakers in the finals. Yeah, it's a great rivalry that goes way back. I used to be a big fan of UNDFTD...until now. It's fine to attack the Celtics and say "Celtics suck" but this isn't cool. "Beat LA" means beat the LA Lakers, not beat the actual city. Boston's "Yankees Suck" chant (hate it or love it) attacks the team, not the city of New York. I hate the Yankees and the Lakers but I don't hate the cities they call home. Go after the team, not the city.

It's a Lamar Odom x Undefeated collaboration and some of the money goes to his charity, but it's still a huge goon move. Look for my UNDFTD shirts on ebay very soon.

"I guess that's why I'm here and I can't come back, home...

And guess when I heard that, when I was back, home"

Three and a half days in Boston and I made the most of them.

A while ago, Jessie told me about Kanye's Glow in the Dark tour and that's what got this trip home started. She deserves a huge thank you because we all know I don't come home enough.

Wednesday

- I landed at Logan and took the T to Government Center. I miss taking the train, so taking the T was both welcomed and relaxing. The T is so much better than LA traffic and $4/gallon gas prices. I walked from Govt Center to my brother's work and seeing everyone out with their Celtics (and Red Sox) gear on was awesome. There was a sports buzz in the Boston air that can't be matching by anything in LA; not even Laker playoff "buzz."

I went to game 5 of the Celtics/Cavs series. Jay-z was there cheering on his boy Lebron but it didn't matter: my brother and I were there. Vince had his "Paul Pierce throw your 3's up foam fingers" that he made and I had my Celtics gear on. Those 3 foam fingers are the greatest thing I've seen in a while and V is a genius for making them. C's won by seven.

Thursday

Kelly's Lobsta Roll

Kickass Cupcakes

Kanye West. Possibly/probably the best live performance I have ever seen in my life.

Seriously, I can't say enough about how amazing his performance was. If you still have a chance to see him live, go see him live. You can thank me later. Even if you think he's an arrogant douche, go see him. He was that great. 90 straight minutes of Kanye West. 90 straight minutes of Kanye giving it his all...he was on his game like a perfect game. The only person there who didn't love it was the dude sitting next to Jessie. He slept for Kanye's entire performance. No Joke. He was slouched in his chair and asleep for Ye's whole set. I have no idea what his deal was.

Pizzeria Regina

Lulu's cupcakes

I went to my friend's brand new condo. It was awesome; I loved it. It rekindled my desire to buy my own place. I hate renting...

Saturday

Henrietta's Table - Mother's Day Breakfast with the fam.

Bodega - they didn't have my size in this shirt but everyone loved my Roscoe's shirt.

Red Sox Day game. I love the Red Sox and I love Fenway park. Enough said. (But not really; I could write pages and pages on this.) Sox beat the Brewers 5-3 with Ortiz homering, Dice-K improving to 7-0 and me eating three Fenway Franks. So good. So good.  After the game I saw a few more buddies that I hadn't seen in a while...good times.

Every time I go home, it's never for enough time. Three days makes me want to spend three weeks there and I know that three weeks would make me want to spend three months at home...

Dunks on Ice.
