Not sure if this is legit or fan made. Either way. Looks mad decent.
Neckface is on some "deep dark under your couch cushion" shit.....AND I LIKE IT. His new line wit Vans looks pretty dope. You can catch money out in San Fran if you're in the Bay Area. He's sketching on walls for some different exhibit houses out there.
A poem I read on a friends page..I'm going to call her Anonymous for now.
HELLA Fresh is you ask ME.
Black America, a poem.
It's high stakes now when she rolls
the highway tolls have been taxed by Jones's inflation
a proud Black Nation no longer exists
and although the boot straps of evidence still persists
the honest effort is no longer relevant
only eight figures pay the new cost of rent
forcing fast, luxurious cars to keep pace in haste and ignore the dents
until the green, silver, platinum, and gold is all spent
causing superstar Negros to holla, "Damn!
Where all my money went?"
while in need of cool-headed,financial consulation
and less heated, overemotional stimulation.ILLogy.
Slow music day, so I'm gonna drop some more gems before I head to my local Niketown because today is payday, and I need to feel better about my life as I just got a call saying that the new transmission arrived today, but was DAMAGED, so they have to ship out for some new parts and it'll probably be another 2 weeks because this weeks a short week with the holiday. WHACK ATTACK!
Moving on to the good shit though: this post is sort of... a combination of Okay ... PLAYER, Local Link-ups, and New Music. Triple Threat bidges!
If you haven't heard of exact science, well... I'm sorry. Fashion, Art, and Music all on their blog at www.exact-science.com and I can get down with that.
Fashion
This reminds me of a blog Top Flite had a while back (musta been like a year ago) about how some model only demanded to be paid in euros (which turned out to be false) due to the declining value of the dolla dolla bill ya'll. Which led Mike to say he was going to demand to be paid in Euros forever. Hilarity indeed. I smell an early christmas present for Mike coming up. haha.
Art
Dude, sometimes I think an emotionless, random, programed robot could play better songs than some of our Seattle Club DJ's. This is Illie!
Music
A dope mixtape. Brother Ali, psalm one, Cali Agents and MORE! Must be that robot DJ killin it. lol.

So I'm down in Portland this weekend for Memorial Day. And we went down to the Nike Headquarters to pick up some kicks. Well that night before we decided to hit the town so we go downtown and go club hopping. As were walking, I see an Upper Playground store to my left..I acknowledge, and then all of a sudden we run into a WINDOW FULL OF SNEAKERS! Unbeknownst to ME and the rest of us as well, there is a boutique in Portland named Compound.
Now boutique may mean small shop, but there is NOTHING small about the selection in Compound. With everything from toys to Artzines, Art Shows to Tier 0 Sneakers, Exclusive streetwear to Live DJ's; this shop SERIOUSLY has everything.
I had NO money to spend there, but best believe my next trip back I'm entering with a FAT pocket and empty trunk, but I'm leaving with an empty pocket and a FAT trunk. YA DUG.
Peep them out. You WILL NOT BE disappointed.
I mean just look at the pictures. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?!?

So Yeezy got reviewed by Entertainment Weekly on the Glow In the Dark tour's Seattle jump-off show. They gave him a B+. I can't say that I completely disagree with the review..but the thing is there was ALOT of stuff that wasn't ready in time so we didn't get the FULL effect of the show. I think that is definitely what comes with the territory when you're on the FRONT STAGE of the ENTIRE WORLD. Everyone's eye is on Kanye right now, and I was a tad bit upset how the Seattle show went too, just because of what they SAID was going to be there. We didn't miss out on much, and we still got 4-5 hours of complete greatness, so it's all good. Anyway here is an excerpt from KANYE'S UNIVERSECITY BLOG:
..What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash!...KILL YOURSELF!!
-Yeezy
