Never let Money or Politics corrupt Creativity

I AM THE WEST...is the name of my new record. After completing about 65% of my music, this is the perfect title. This s**t is cocky, no apologies, West Coast gangsta s**t. I can't help it. That's what I do. June seems too tight for a release, but July is very doable. We'll see how things go. Now that I have my title, I can work on the concept of my photoshoot and artwork. I want to provide early merch before the drop date.







For 7 or 8 years now the West Coast has been trying to do music that appeals to the South and Mid-West. The words, "too West Coast" would be heard throughout the industry whenever our music was played. Even by our own DJ's. Left coast MC's were now trying to change their sound to cater to all the followers. We lost our way. Thank God for b-boys like Snoop, The Game & WC for keeping the West alive, but we were all guilty of over reaching. No more. At least not from me. I do it how I feel it; not how I think it should be done. Radio f**ked us up. I hate the politics at radio. I don't know who to pay to get my s**t played. Having a hot song is not enough. Ridiculous.






I AM THE WEST. It's coming....

Fashion love the Dutchies

For the latest issue of Vogue they have picked the gorgeos Dutch girl Mirte Maas and Rianne ten Haken. Makes me ask myself why I don't run in to these bitches in the streets.. or do I?

Pretty Little Dutch Girl..

Lara Stone is slowly but surely becoming one off my top fav models. Right above she picks up another cover and this time around it's for Andy Warhol's Interview Magazine. Below a few more shots of the Editorial.

Pretty Rose is En Vogue

Rose is the first black model to get a solo cover of Vogue Paris since Liya Kebede back in 2002. Needles to say, this cover is a slam dunk and proves Black girls deserve their spot in the spotlight. A few more shots below!

Love is: Nude supermodels

Love’s magazine has done several different series featuring very cutting edge (or naughty depending on your maturity level) photos of some of the industry’s biggest models. The latestfeatures Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell as photographed by Mert Allas and Marcus Piggot. The image on this page is one of the least racy and features Kate Moss’s legs in a pair of Louboutins. The photos are amazing as is the level of intimacy revealed.

RIP Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen spring2010       

This is what he last tweeted:

“From heaven to hell and back again, life is a funny thing. Beauty can come from the most strangest of places even the most disgusting places.” A few minutes later, he posted: “Why people ignore the ugly things in life but within this they are missing the beauty that lies under the rotten fruit!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Joy o joy! The opening of a new mens store is always reason for celebration. Tomorrow, New Yorkers will be treated to the opening of the first ever Hermès Man store, located at 62nd St and Madison Avenue – directly across the street from the Hermès flagship. To celebrate the store’s opening, the luxury label produced a custom, limited edition custom baseball glove and ball set. The glove is done in a deep, almost-burgundy, red leather and features an embossed Hermès “H”. The ball also feature the signature “H” front and center.

According to All Hip-Hop.com Mr. Amillie eat one to many lollipops. Ok i know not that funny but hears what I got from Allhiphop.com.

Lil Wayne was supposed to start his one-year sentence today but the supreme court postponed the date by a month to get dental surgery. Now the only question that pops in my mind is, how many more carats is he going to put in his mouth?

Here's what Young Money artists Mack Maine and Nicki Minaj, rapper Talib Kweli and singer Erykah Badu had to say about the situation sentencing.

"Extension till march 2nd!" an excited Mack Maine Tweeted. "Thanx for da prayers LOVE y'all...and Wayne said thanx for da prayers too..ym!"
“God Bless Dwayne and those who support him,” Nicki Minaj Tweeted.
“Hold ur head,” Talib Kweli Tweeted. “We hate seeing our brothers in the prison industrial complex. We need them in the world.”
“I hear anybody on here sayin one Ill word toward my brother Wayne,” Erykah Badu Tweeted. “That's a great brother. Growing just like us. Salute. I WANT YALL TO BLOW Twitter UP tellin Dwayne Carter how much we love him! That's our brother !! May his time away bring lessons & peace. Wayne is a great human being.”

10 out of 10 for Ten Magazine spring/summer '10

The Spring/Summer issue of Ten Magazine inspired me in so many ways. Her we are in this dark and cold country where we look for magazines to show is some light. One Spread inspired me in particular and remembered me why I want to ride this Photography thing till the end. Thank you Anna..

50 Years of Pop Art all in one "little" book

We all love Pin Up so we all Love Mel Ramos. I Was gone for a minute but I've found my Blog Mojo back in this Retrospective wich bundels the best of Mel Ramos in the past 50 years. As a contemporary of the king of Pop Art, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein Ramos borrows motifs from mass media and commercial advertisements.

Introducing: The Chanel Motorcycle

I always said I would never ride a motorcycle but with this one I can die  ride with style.

According to Vincent Prat of Southsiders MC: 

"We didn’t want to make the thousandth café racer or Triton; we decided to follow our own road. We started designing a mix of Batman’s motorcycle with a T.Rex fastback and Cat Woman’s curves. Inspiration came directly from the culture of comics.” I think Batman would have traded up the Batmobile and Cat Woman would have hopped on the back."

Siviglia's SS10 Campaign ad is another home run in a long line of hits in ads that came out the past few week. Lars Burmeister is doin his thing-thing right here and below what he has been doin for the past 6(!) seasons for Hugo Boss.

Nicholos Holt for Tom Ford SS10

The Star of A Single Man had been picked by mister Ford himself to be the face of his new campaign ads. It's ok but to me.. it's just another actor trying to model.. Nice bresteses though..
