Barbie goes BERSERK!
I was web surfing a while back and stumbled across these photos of fabulous yet demented Barbie getting away with murder (literally)!
This woman by the name of Mariel Clayton spends her time recreating horrendously graphic scenes with dolls, then she snaps photos of them. I was startled at first at the way this artist portrayed Barbie & Co. in such a graphic light, but after a few views I began to appreciate the artistic approach of these flicks! Of course I’m not a doll type of guy, but I figured the ladies & guys alike would get a kick out this depiction of the All-American doll.
ENJOY!

21 Love Salute: A Tribute to Sade
Every fan of Sade Adu let us rejoice in the name of GOOD ol’fashioned QUALITY music!
All you UPcoming songbirds, take notes on how Sade will give your auricles the hypnotic sound of a siren. I LOVE “The Best of Sade” & it may easily be one of my all-time favorite CDs hands down. In my personal opinion, it’s the perfect collection of music to relax and sleep to, make love to, and more.

Fashion Spotlight: R.I.P. Alexander McQueen
Michael Oliveira-Salac says McQueen “turned fashion upside down”, by being different. (BBC News)
Once again we are reminded of how limited the time we have on this green globe labeled Earth can actually be. Yesterday the realm of fashion lost another icon by the name Lee Alexander McQueen, (16 March 1969 – 11 February 2010). McQueen was an English fashion designer known for his unorthodox designs and outlandish runway shows.
News has it that his mother had just passed away and he was going through a difficult time coping as he was extremely close to his mother. Although his Twitter account has been deleted you can view it here, where he expressed himself in his final tweets.
If you are fashion illiterate, you might recognize some of his work donned by Rihanna & even more noteworthy: Lady Gaga. The critically acclaimed UK fashion designer earned the esteemed British Fashion Designer of the Year award four times!
I found out about the tragic news via my pal Sash’s Facebook post as soon as I got home it REALly saddened my night believe it or not. I am very much into fashion and very familiar with his eccentric work. ‘Tis life, we celebrate life so let us not mourn death, but celebrate the legacy of one whom is deceased so that that individual may live on forever through our work, in our thoughts and so on & so forth. Just like the legendary and very much so iconic Yves Saint Laurent, Mr. Lee Alexander McQueen will most certainly be missed.

N-O VICTORY: Super Bowl XLIV
“I think I could kiss him,” owner Tom Benson said of Coach Payton.
WOW!! The underdog New Orleans Saints have become triumphant & won the Super Bowl.
Coach Payton held the Vince Lombardi Trophy high over his head in a victorious manner and ran into the end zone towards hundreds of fans to chant famed Saints’ rally cry:
“Who dat, who dat, who dat say gonna beat dem Saints?”
Who dat indeed.
Superb Super Bowl like play from Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees allowed for New Orleans to come back from an early first half 10 point deficit to beat the Colts 31-17, but NOT just any comeback!
We’re talking matching the biggest comeback in a Super Bowl ever.
Drew even influenced me into adopting a new moniker (Drew Breez) as he Breesed pass the d*mn near impeccable Colts & NFL season with a 32 of 39 passes for 288 yards 2 TDs and 0 INTs!
He also had thee 2nd highest completion percentage in Super Bowl History with 82%. Now if that doesn’t scream GREATness than I don’t know what does. I mean, should we trace back to my prior post debating the regular season NFL Associated Press MVP award!? Hmm.. (scratches head…).
Mustapha Farrakhan Jr. Dunk!
I see countless highlights of dunks and etc. as I am a religious viewer of ESPN and I always feel that most of these slam dunks are overrated when the sportscaster get all ecstatic.
But as I viewed this highlight of Minister Louis Farrakhan’s godson this past week, Virginia’s own: Mustapha Farrakhan Jr. dunking on opponent then giving him the mean “WHAT NOW!?” face, If I could utilize one word to describe this play it would be: Grrr!!!
OBEY x Artists for Peace & Justice ‘ Haiti Relief Tees
Studio Number One’s Cleon Peterson, Casey Ryder and the famed Shepard Fairey created an iconic Haiti graphic from a photograph by Tao Ruspoli , who epitomized the sense of wonder and hope for better days in the eyes of children, through his photo. The intriguing beauty of it all is that the children of Haiti continue to smile in the wake of this calamity. Profits generated from the sale of this product directly goes to the Haiti relief effort by Artist for Peace and Justice.
Available styles are now available for pre-order (mens/womens) on 8ospurple.
This means a whole lot to me.
Since the earthquake has hit Haiti on the 12th of last month I have remained quiet and have opted not to discuss it on the site because It is a very extremely sensitive subject for me. This is especially since this is BLACK HIStory Month, I have a profound LOVE for humanity, & last but I NOT LEAST of course: my family is of Haitian descent.
I have a whole lot on my mind & when I feel I am ready to vent, I will. I CANNOT neglect that I too have a voice and this site is an outlet for my voice and all the other umpteen existing blogs/sites that do exist as well.
I have also taken the liberty to include the original piece here.

PEACE.
It’s STILL BLACK HIStory Month! & I remember this alluring video that I’ve had the pleasure of viewing a few months back. NOT to impose anything on anyone, but I for one has cut the word out of my vocabulary for the most part for personal reasons.
PLEASE feel free to drop a comment or two about how you feel about the N-Word & about this video pertaining to the N-Word.
FatShouts to Maurice Garland providing this video.
HAPPY BLACK HIStory Month!

Change is GOOD! NEW YEAR! NEW ME! NEW NEW!
It’s a WHOLE NEW YEAR! So I’ve taken a firm stand that everything (well NOT EVERY thing) should, but rather would change. Change is GOOD for the mind, body, and spirit. Some may consider change NOT always GOOD, but rather bad in fact because most people have an undeniable fear of thee unknown. Nonetheless change is the prime catalyst for growth. When I mean growth, I mean in every aspect of the word so when I stumbled upon this theme I jumped at it because It was all that I had imagined in the first place before I had chosen the former layout that was BREAD & Butter.
I hope you all enjoy the NEW look! This is going to be a HUGE year for ME and (HOPEfully) this site as well!
Stay tuned and you WILL NOT be disappointed!
Greg Street Presents Dr. King – The Speeches (Mixtape)
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Wooow… this picture speaks volumes that I can’t even fathom, but I SERIOUSly think that Martin Luther KING Jr. Day should be Martin Luther KING Jr. WEEK!
But then again, what do I know?
(Shrugs shoulders…) I’m just a skinny black kid from BROOKLYN.
Anyhow I came across this post a few days ago on The Smoking Section and found it pretty interesting so of course it deemed a repost by moi especially with my previous post. It’s a mixtape consisting of 3 tracks. The 3 tracks are basically The KING’s speeches over some instrumentals from Dr. Dre’s CLASSIC album: The Chronic.
Enjoy.
Tracklist/Download link available after the jump…
HAPPY Martin Luther KING Jr. DAY!
Just CLEANed UP, now for an hr or two spent listening to the PROLIFIC & emPOWERing speeches of Martin Luther the KING! I don’t think you people overstand how pivotal of a holiday this is for us NOT ONLY as BLACKS, but minorities as a whole.
I haven’t read ONE HAPPY MLK Day post ALLDAY!
Have we forgotten ALREADY!?
Or are we too busy indulging in the very things we would have never been able to have/enjoy if this martyr didn’t give his life UP for ours!?
The KING Center
“Remember! Celebrate! Act!
A day ON….NOT a DAY OFF”
P.S. JAH BLESS Haiti.
Lupe Fiasco – I’m Beaming
Ahhhhh! Nothing like some NEW Carrera Lu! Especially when it’s produced by The Neptunes!
Strange enough, this song had originally leaked a while back and it started this ‘big’ thing where it was pulled and Lupe made a post on his site expressing his distaste on the matter. However and ironically enough, the GOOD folks over at Atlantic decided let it out!?
(Shrugs shoulders…)
I’m so hypnotized by this DOPE track as I literally can’t stop replaying it.
Enjoy.
