AiR JORDAN SPi'ZiKE => BLACK/WHiTE/iNFRARED

I never used to like Spi'zikes besides the Kings County's (seeing as how they were made for Brooklyn..Mr. Jordan's birthplace [=) but I copped the pair that dropped in January & I can now say that I approve of them. This is the next pair that has caught my eye. Drops in May. I digg it. Fresh!

What's good world? Didn't give yall a quote yesterday because I thought Kanye's new blog was all yall needed. But I got a good quote for yall today. Our ambition is what drives us ever closer to our goal.I don't know of a person who has reached success without ambition; having a deep desire and passion to reach whatever they want. What are we without ambition?

“A man's worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions." - Marcus Aurelius

KANYE 2010

What's good yall? No "Quotes of the Day" for today. Just dropped in to give yall some news. If any of yall are readers of Kanye's blog, you'd know that he had a whole new blog in the works coming soon. That soon has come NOW. He also took all rights it seems to his video for "Coldest Winter"..which is why it wouldn't play before. But the one below works now. It's also on his blog if you haven't seen it yet. Click HERE to reach your destination.

P.S. When you get to the home page..click on his name..I'm sure some of yall will get confused because I did..lqtm.

AiR JORDAN 25th ANNiVERSARY EDiTiON => Release Dates!

Sooooooo..as we know..Jordan Brand is putting out White & Metallic Silver/Grey versions of each of their 25 Jordans all this year as part of the 25th Anniversary Edition collection. The i's came out last month and the White/3M Silver ii's drop ths Saturday. Now the release date for the next three White/Silver pairs to drop is confirmed. The iii's, iV's, & iX's will ALL drop next month, March 20th. However, different pairs will be sold at different retailers in order to diversify the distribution of the sneakers. EITHER WAY, that day will be a hot drop date. Keep checking back for more information. FRESH!

New Vids..

Video for for one of the sadder songs off of 808s and Heartbreaks. The theatrical quality in it is clear evidence of Yeezy's genius. Definitely love this vid.

Coldest Winter => Kanye West


New music. One of the hottest tracks playing down here right now. Hearing the beat gets people live. The vid isn't bad either. I'm still confused as to who really sings this..Travis Porter or Roscoe Dash..or both? I don't know. But anyway..peep.

All the Way Turnt Up ft. Soulja Boy => Roscoe Dash


New vid from Luda off his seventh album, Battle of the Sexes, out 03/19. Features everyone's favorite lady rapper. Peep the vid.

What's good world? Hope all is well. Make sure you go hard for what you want. Nothing is given; you gotta take it. With that said, have a great day.

NBA Trade Deadline Deals!!

In case yall haven't really been UP-TO-DATE on the NBA this past week, there are a few updates after the trade deadline.

MAJOR POINTS
1. Cavs get former all-Star Antawn Jamison & add Sebastian Telfair for bench depth. Good move for the Cavs. Definitely strengthens their chances (even though I think they got the Championship this year).
2. Knicks lose a great & passionate player in Nate Robinson to Boston, BUT get shooter Eddie House, comeback T-Mac, AND clear up enough salary cap space to be able to potentially sign TWO of this summer's stacked free agent class, including LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare' Stoudemire, etc.
3. Rockets add another high scorer in Kevin Martin to the team. Definite boost to the team. When Yao comes back, this team WILL do damage.
4. Mavs add Caron Butler to a team already loaded with weapons. Great addition to the team for the second half of the season. Look for them to go at least to the second round of the playoffs.

That's my take on the major points of the trade deadline. I'm happy for my Cavs & my Knicks. But peep the vids below for the "real" analysts take on it.

NiKE AiR FOAMPOSiTE ONE => EGGPLANT

With last weekend's release of the Copper Foamposites & this weekend's release of the Grey/Teal Griffeys, Nike has been hitting us hard with hot kicks already in the first two months of the year. And we see that they are NOT stoppin ANY TIME soon. The Eggplants will be RE-releasing this year!! Sooner than many might think. Drop date: MARCH 6th, 2010. Yessssssss.

We Are the World 25 For Haiti

I never blogged about what happened to my mother's country..my country..but we all know of the devastation that has occurred in Haiti. But it is beautiful to see that in light of that horrible situation, so many of the music industry's biggest names came together to remake the same song that had such a great impact on the world 25 years ago. Just know, even though it's been a month, that does not mean we need to stop helping. Anything we can give helps. So if there are donation stations at your schools..collection agencies..anything! Even the free texting to donate..it ALL helps. Keep it going.

The Xi's are deffy, if not the best, on of the best Jordans created. And these continue that same idea. The white on white with the icy bottoms is too clean. People are gonna go crazy when they drop.

Dopeness.

Akron Hammer v. Superman Dunk Contest

Out of the many Super Bowl commercials we saw last Sunday (many of which were lame), one stood out to me. McDonald's had a commercial featuring two of the NBA's brightest stars: LeBron James & Dwight Howard. The commercial spawned off of another hilarious McDonald's commercial from 1993 featuring Larry Bird & Michael Jordan playing a game of H.O.R.S.E. This new one's a little shaken up tho. Peep the vids & see what I'm talking about.
