For the majority of the people that are clueless and followers! For those that are into the same typical shit, listen to the same garbage ass music and buy the same wack fashions and even worse, rock it the same exact way, you fucking clones! Thank you for making people with their own vision look like the oddballs in life but remember, everyone stares at the oddball and in 5 years when you finally decide to stop being trendy you'll be like damn, Skeme was up on some other shit back them, he's a fuckin' genius! You've got these celebs rockin shit in their own fasion and then you got everyone else trying to be like him or her, it only looks good on the originator of that style!
Thank you world, but no thank you!

I know I've been slackin....
No not really because I've been working on alot of things plus trying to do some home improvements, painting, refinishing my hardwood floors etc. So forgive me for not supplying you with the daily reads, but fear not I'll be hitting you on the reg soon enough.
But here's a little something to keep your mouth watering, if you've been following the blogs you know that Im on my burger quest, so here's a little something I found tasty.
Nike Sportswear has commissioned 8 high-profile creatives to interpret 8 different Nike Sportswear icons. Creative director Olle Hemmendorff was chosen to do the Air Max 90, and without a doubt, he took the shoe to another level that makes us all drool with desire. Hemmendorff transformed the shoes into a burger with cheese accents and meat patty sole. These sneakers are probably as fresh as they come, but the question remains, does he only make them when we order it?

Selling Out! Its the only way to go....
No, not "selling out" as in selling yourself but Selling out of your product! Anything that this guy touches sells out almost instantly, if you didn't cop it on the early side now you'll be paying $600 on ebay. Limited and rare, such a deadly combination. Kaws needs to bottle his formula and sell it!
From vinyl figures to tshirts and other apparel.
Inspired by Japanese police mascot Pipo, KAWS in association with Medicom Toy are releasing two renditions of the popular cartoon-esque character. The vinyl features some trademark KAWS touches seen along the ears and eyes, with two colors available. The toys will release Friday at 12:00 pm EST alongside some new Original Fake products.

Wall Coverings
Growing up I've always been one who covered his bedroom walls with comicbooks, rap posters, album covers and more but when you get a little older you tend to gravitate towards more "classy" pieces of art such as rare movie posters (matted and framed of course), Canvas pieces (Im still waiting for an original Ewok graff piece)and other high end subjects such as some of the work that legendary New York and world reknown graff artist Mare 139 does. I would love to have work from him displayed in my living room! Door your homework on this cats history.

Money Makin' Manhattan Burger!
Ok, first let me say that I dont have a picture of this burger(but I will snap one next time). Every month when I'm on route to the good ol' NYC to do "The Go Off!", an all classic Hip Hop, Funk and Soul party I always have to stop at 7A which is this dope little restaurant that serves up an incredible burger. The thing that makes this burger is the way its cooked, flamed broiled! You can taste the charbroiled flavor throughout the burger and it even has the pretty grilled lines on the burger and bun! The spot is located on 7th and A, hence the name 7A.
Editors note: Get bacon and cheddar cheese on it!

(Coffee Table Status) Industry rule # 4080 1/2.....
Everybody in the business is shady! A Tribe Called Quest said it best!
No matter if your in the music, movie, car or any other type of manufacturing business theres always gonna be the shady shit going on, especially when its an industry that is relatively young and still being figured out. We've seen it happen plenty of times, but the masses only see the popular side of it, ie: music industry. How many people knew that the original creators of Superman just got their rights back for the Hero? Well another "Heroes" story gets told....When you say Spiderman you think Stan Lee, well thats only half. The other co-creater is Steve Ditko who was the artist that was drawing the early Spidey comics and who seems to have been "blackballed" from the comic industry. Ditko, the 80 year old still active individual is living in Manhattan and has a new book out "Strange and Stranger: The World Of Steve Ditko. This guy could make millions off of his original drawings but higher forces seem to be holding him back. His new book is a biography and has alot of his original artwork, this definitly gets the nod from me as July's coffee table status. This is essential reading for any comic book lover looking for a good storyline. I would love to have have some of this guys original Dr. Strange art framed and hanging in my crib.
