Girl crush: Liz Rodrigues.

2009-10-30T11:26:00.000-07:00

Her name is Liz Rodrigues. She's one of the lead singers of The New Royales, a band that has finessed it's way to the top of my obsession list with the slightest of ease. You've heard them on the "Kinda like a Big Deal" joint Clipse & Kanye did & they have some pretty sick collabos with rap savant Jay Electronica, Self Scientific etc..In a nut shell, her voice is like sex & they're music is my heroin. Here's a clip from the show they did at The Viper Room last month.

Dear Santa, I know I like boys & all, but if you can maybe..well...you get the point. Long story short I told my boyfriend I wouldn't kick her outta bed. Thnx St. Nick. I owe ya!! Hear the Bella on the new Slaughterhouse single hook too, peroduced by DJ Khalil.

Save the melons.

2009-10-21T19:59:00.000-07:00

We all know it's breast cancer awareness month. Yes, you chumps that is why so many people have pink ribbons on the bottom of their twitter icons. More importantly, Burtons play on the Save the tata's is pretty damn cute. Oh and while you're on a Burton spree, might as well pick up some new gear to shred in. Yup it's that time of year again. Fuckin, finally.

Mizzle really is the coolest.

2009-10-21T19:54:00.000-07:00

My brother from another for what seems like forever now, has dropped some new tees on ya. You know the name. You know the site. Get em while ya can.

How cute are they?

2009-10-21T19:49:00.000-07:00

Remember when our favorite 90's good for nothin, Al Bundy lead his very limited friends in a club called "The He Man Woman Haters"? Well I'm kind of like that, just a chick version. I'm for the most part pretty anti-mooshy gooshy cornball shit that can't go hand and hand with a GhostFace track, but this my friends? This shit is fuckin cute. Eva snagged her hubby Tony for a shoot in London Fog.

Last Weekend.

2009-10-06T21:51:00.000-07:00

Alright okay!! I've realized that's it's been a while since I let all you dudes & dames in my business. So here goes.. I spent this weekend with my equally adorable and partially insane little sister that doubles as one of my very best friends. We went to a Lupe Fiasco/Talib Kweli show to get our sisterly bond on with occasional marijuana interruption just to keep the edge off. Mr. Fiasco did his thing. It was refreshingly appropriate that it was Talib Kweli's birthday and that Lupe stood on the side of the stage as Kweli did his whole entire set, rapping every punchline and acting out every mannerism. & they say that hip hop's dead. smh.

Badass bitch who's rated X.

2009-10-06T21:47:00.000-07:00

This time last year you couldn't get my bitches and I out of the house without doing shots to this electro gift from the music chick Gods. Here's a sneak peak of the official video. Lovesing.

Why hello.

2009-10-06T21:40:00.000-07:00

Why hello there MOB fall 2. I'm liking what I'm seeing. Jackets, Denim, Plaid, Risks, Line tees, Lace, Floral, Leather, Color splashes. Mhmmm I like it all.

just L.O.V.E

2009-10-06T21:13:00.000-07:00

Finally!! I got a hold of my new NoH8 pictures. Here are some others recently posted. Prejudices in 2009 I simply refuse to tolerate. You should do the same and support the NoH8campaign.com

That's right mothereffers, get off your asses & act like you care!!

Holly Hell.

2009-09-27T10:29:00.000-07:00

Here's a look at Hellz autumn/winter 09. They call it Midnight Riders. & wtf is the Hellz team doing? they're on their cut & sew grind. Every time I look up they're dropping a new collection, that much more different than the last. Impressive to say the least.

Bitch Power: Adrienne Bailon

2009-09-27T10:18:00.000-07:00

Apparently I'm one of the last to know, but my girl Adrienne has blessed Ghostface's new album with her angelic voice. It's a track called I'll be that, so lookout for it & like I told my little Latin princess who reps the Lower East Side NY like it runs in her veins. "Disney & Mtv may pay the bills but Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuttin to fuck with!" So proud of this Bella.

Badass boots.

2009-09-27T10:12:00.000-07:00

So, I'm not completely sure if I've made this clear in the past, but I'm kind of a sucker for a bad ass ankle boot and that is exactly what Charlotte Olympia has given us here. These black leather, chunky, platform gold embellished little works of art are that show, and truth be told, I doubt to see you in these bitchin babes.

A girls best friend.

2009-09-22T12:35:00.001-07:00

Diamond & Fly Society give us..
Well these bad boys drop on the diamond site in a little less than 30 min. I can honestly say that I love each and every one of these talented boys so support these muthafuckas, they gotta eat too. lol psshhh like that's a problem.

Oh Zoey.

2009-09-18T12:08:00.000-07:00

I shared a joint with this Bella in a bookstore parking lot last year. Then I fell in love with her just like Emile Hirsch did in 500 Days of Summer after seeing that movie. Now she's being her amazing self and giving us a glimpse inside her perfectly proportioned head via Nylon magazine. Do they ever let us down?

Bitch Power: LoveMe jewelery.

2009-09-18T11:46:00.000-07:00

Her name is Natasha Lianna. An L.A. repper brought to us by the beautiful island of Maui. Somehow this little beauty has found the secret to accessories and her up & coming jewelery line LoveMe is something I've admittedly become addicted to. Here are a few sneak peak pics of what she's got coming out soon, modelled by our mutual bestie, Anna Stimson. Yeah, it's exactly what you think, we're just a bunch of talented ass bitches. Catch up!!

Legal Trappin.

2009-09-18T11:37:00.000-07:00

In case you guys are too stupid to realize it, Carter dropped his newest shit on us. Check out his video for $1,000 fit. Get em Carter!!

Fuck You Security.

2009-09-18T10:57:00.000-07:00

In case you forgot, Tiron had his release party for his "Throwin My Money" video & pretty much the whole L.A. fam came out to support. Yup, that's how it should be. Tiron & Omari did their thing on stage, as did Pac Div. Actually, scratch that. I mean, Mibbs & Like did, BeYoung got kicked out for smokin weed & like lead the crowd in a big "Fuck You!!! Security!!" The rest of the night went a little somethin like this..
Tiron rocked the stage.
As did the PacDiv boys.
Jay & Diz Gibran.
Yours truly & Miss Jaye Bella.
The Pac Div fellas & Blu.

Made Me: Tough Love

2009-09-11T15:58:00.000-07:00

Yeahyeahyeah, I know, we're over the summer heat & ready for boots, jackets, scarves & all that good shit. Well, the answer to our prayers seems to be the autum/winter collection..Tough Love by the oh so popular Made Me. Ironically enough I usually love love love, their line pretty fucking toughly. Examine for yourself!!

How divine.

2009-09-11T15:56:00.000-07:00

YSL has dropped the divine peep-toe platform & I seriously just came!! This can't be healthy for my sex life, then again...

Throwing My Money.

2009-09-11T15:48:00.000-07:00

If you're cool like me, you got somewhat toasty last Sunday at the Do Over, stumbled to a mutual friends house afterwards where Tiron gave us a sneak peak of the video that will be released to the rest of the world on the 16th, however who in their right mind wouldn't go to this shit? Shouts to Shake the Hand & Tommy B, I've had the pleasure of working with both of them & would slice throats in their honor any day. Also Tiron, Blu & Pac I hate to break the news loves, but we expect nothing but the best.

Love.Angel.Music.Baby.

2009-09-11T15:39:00.000-07:00

I'm like Mary, I only have a little LAMB. Her jackets are usually amazing, I've been having regular fashion orgasms over that fitted leather, electric blue motorcycle jacket she blessed upon us last year. I just can't do the Jamaican color tennis sweaters, & over-plain numbers. However this season Gwen has shut my ass up. I love the lines and the cuts. Super casual 7 edgy, everyday where for the fashionably gifted. Oh the power of being married to Gavin Rossdale!!

By and means necessary.

2009-09-11T15:29:00.000-07:00

East meets West with these two. & their new site is up & at it WWW.MALCOMANDMARTIN.COM checkcheckcheck it out or be late on it, it's up to you.

You don't mind if I obsess over this shoot that Erykah Badu did for Giant mag, do ya?

Confessions of a Bella: Rage More.

2009-09-02T02:59:00.000-07:00

Well it's been a while since I just caught you up on regular everyday life & just said Yo! So, Yo! Right now I'm presently not in Vegas with the rest of the streetwear industry that I so willingly sold my soul to, because I'm sick off my ass, and who do I blame? My right hand man, well she's not a man, but my addiction to raging with one of my very bests has landed me in bed only accompanied by meds & vitamins. How did this happen you ask? Let me break it down for ya...
We hit the do over every Sunday like clockwork, it's just a time to unwind & a reason to drink our previous hangover off while the sun's still out...
She brings me big gulps full of vodka while I'm supposed to be working, just to take the edge off.
We recite vulgar & explicit rap lyrics to each other like it's our religion & we're oh so faithful.
She rocks the shit out of my designs, because real friends support your grind.
We take pictures of couples who are bumpin & grinding in the Hollywood streets from the fire escape & post them on the Internet.
We solve the eternal problem of "the munchies" with over-dosing on sushi, but only to bread our stomachs so the vodka has something to settle into later on.
We argue over who gets to wear the most comfortable flannel that's ever been made, even if it mean she wears it during the day & I rock it at night.
We smoke massive amounts of marijuana while listening to Bob Marley & I wait for her to yet again try to convince me that he sort of resembles octomom.
& when I get all better, we'll do that shit all over again. Hey, what are friends for?? Right?!?

Oh yes Mr. Sherman.

2009-09-01T16:54:00.000-07:00

Ben Sherman's new fall/winter 09 campaign is killer. I'm obsessed with the brit rock kinda mod-ish angle vibe, it's fucking fly & that's all there is to it. Check out what they've got going on at www.bensherman.com

Go to hell.

2009-09-01T16:48:00.000-07:00

I want this shit forever.

2009-09-01T16:24:00.000-07:00

I'm not gonna give you a z share, or some random link to go download this. I'm gonna post this so you can hear it right muthafuckin now!! Why?? Because this song is ill, why not? & I know what you're thinking, I know you're waiting for Weezy to come on with his "shit nigga, this what I does" but get ready for something else. Each verse is better than the last. Okay that's not completely true, but let's just say the last verse is off the richter scale. Eminem slayed these boys, and they're not easy boys to slay!! Hats off to you Mr. Mathers. He's a true manipulator of the human language. Please don't ever retire, you're too good for these fuckers. However if you're down to leave the beat game alone we won't argue.

Everyone loves sales.

2009-09-01T16:17:00.000-07:00

Get your back to school clothes game up!! That's right, we're having a muuhfuckin sale. Use the code & get 45% off, but act now, this typa shit doesn't last forever lovers.

T shirt & my panty's on.

2009-09-01T16:13:00.001-07:00

I guess you ain't the Most Official Bitch unless your panty's say so!! Say word!!

RIP D.J. AM.

2009-08-28T18:17:00.000-07:00

Dj AM has passed away. He was pronounced dead at 5:20pm est. He is proof of what they say, that only the good die young. I only saw him spin a few times, but let's be honest, he was fucking ill. Had an amazing ear for hip hop & a kick game that didn't stop. It's heart breaking & came as a shock to everybody. After escaping death last September with Travis Barker, I guess God wanted this one for himself, & who could blame him. RIP Adam Goldstein. You will be missed. Your music? Will still fuckin bang!!

Fix your face!! & Get a fucking bar!!

Once again RIP DJ AM.

Dimes have 9 lives.

2009-08-26T01:42:00.000-07:00

The unforgivably fly badboy princess, Cassie has teamed up with Dime Piece clothing. They put their heads together & came up with the new Fall/Winter collection "Nine Lives". The line screams bitch power & reeks with feminist rebellion. You can find it at www.dimepiecedesigns.com but ladies, don't be too eager, just like her bad ass haircut, it ain't for everybody!!

Inside my head.

2009-08-26T01:37:00.000-07:00

I've never been able to write about this particularly epic scenario that took place in my life, not that I am completely unattached to the emotions it involves I find myself writing about it with the utmost ease. Here's a look into my journal. Shhhhh don't tell!! & in case you've yet to notice, I'm slightly out of my fucking mind, but then again all the good ones are. =)

H&M is going pretty hard this fall & I ain't mad, because whenever they do they seem to step outside of the box, which chain-stores rarely do. Not only have they opened their arms to help spread the word & the awareness of aids in our community but also have made an effort to go organic. What can't they do??

Tonight.

2009-08-17T18:30:00.000-07:00

Go see these guys @ HOB tonight!! Then come party & the Standard!! & let's wake up hungover to the point where we complain about it throughout the whole day tomorrow!!
Then we'll always be able to bring up that one nutty time @ HOB & the Standard!! Want to?? Let's!!

No H8 Campaign.

2009-08-15T21:34:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow I'm shooting for the NO H8 campaign and I'm stupid excited. The silent protest is in support of equality through marriage & equal rights for everyone, regardless of your sexual preference. I'm a firm believer in equal rights & an even firmer believer in the fact that the government shouldn't be able to tell the public how to love. Can't wait to show you guys the finished product of the shoot. For more information, to send donations or to learn more about the cause check out www.NoH8campaign.com

Stick Em Up.

2009-08-15T21:27:00.000-07:00

Walk Like A Warrior.

2009-08-15T21:13:00.000-07:00

Hellz Bells The’ Style Warriors’ Collection has pieces that make your outfit better than the chick next to you. Pieces that make it look like you know what the fuck you're doing, like you meant to do it & like everyone else is an amateur. Just the way I like it.

The A get's a dose of Jay.

2009-08-15T21:06:00.000-07:00

Let's be honest most rappers are ignorant as all fuck. Mr. Jay Electronica is not one of them. Enjoy!!

Just Kick It.

2009-08-14T23:44:00.000-07:00

Lately I've been like the Goldy Locks of black kicks!! I'm looking for the one that's just right. The shoe I can always throw on no matter what!! Help!! I don't know what to do. The dunks, I just love the colors, fuck what you think. The Supras..um..that puts food on the exes table so I'm somewhat hesitant lol & the J's well the J's are fuckin classic. Things that make you go Hmmm.

Family business.

2009-08-10T19:02:00.001-07:00

Today's been a weird ass day!! I've had a few blows to the heart & was beginning to feel kinda like a softy, until I put my little brother Skeme's shit on & got back on my shit!! I love him dearly. Love him too!! All the cool kids do it!! Oh & if you don't love him, I suggest you hold your peace, because this little niggaz hood connected, yup they're like a bunch of legos!!

Fuck with it.

Keri does Complex.

2009-08-06T13:59:00.000-07:00

Killer!!

I'm your pusher.

2009-08-06T13:52:00.001-07:00

The fucked up thing is that they rocked the Fantasy Factory harder than they rocked Nokia last time they toured. I guess we'll have to see how they hold up when they come back to the LA with Mikey & Chuck!! Yup, The Cool Kids are coming to our neck of the woods with The Clipse!! Let's Go!!

Hide your lighters.

2009-08-06T13:40:00.000-07:00

Okay, you'll think I'm being bi est, & it's true I probably am, cause I do fuckin love Spitta, but I also love his shit!! & you know you do too!! Cop Cop Cop!!

x games madness

2009-08-03T21:56:00.000-07:00

Usually if there's some sort something or other in town, it isn't often you'll catch me out unless I'm working. No post or after party's for me. I'm over all that shit. Miss me with all that. X. Games after party's on the other hand. OH yeaahhh!! Here's a sneak peak of some of the shananigans I found myself in with some of my favorite fly society boys & one of my very best best best best little miss Anna Stimson.

Warning Shots.

2009-08-03T21:32:00.000-07:00

He didn't just say what I think he said did he?

If you ever catch me in a karaoke bar you can't pay be not to sing Mariah's Always Be My Baby or Fantasy, but let's be honest the bitch is off her rocker. She's lost it & hasn't been our 90's Mariah for quite some time!! On the other hand I might as well swallow my pride and admit that as a kid my walls were also papered with Eminem posters, which aslo translates into my steezy white boy fetish!! Here's the thing. This is what Em does!! So the fact that Mariah or Nick gassed each other up to say anything to the the lyrical bad ass is a joke within itself. & like he said Mariah DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT ISN'T TRUE!! The best part about it is that he chopped up her voice mails and used her own voice as punchilines in a diss song about her. Fuckin brillian. Fuckin hilarious. & Fuckin sexxy!!

Sorry Peta! Python's hot!!

2009-08-03T21:26:00.000-07:00

Damn you Nicholas KirkWood & your Suede Platform with Python cut-out pieces of heaven we refer to as shoes!! These are too amazing & too fuckin expensive. What a big bummer.

Fallin & can't get up.

2009-08-03T21:21:00.000-07:00

So everybody saw Heartbreak Drake take a fall on stage & Hey it happens to the best of em, but here's what the little yellow word player had to say about it to Complex mag.

Complex: How’s the knee holding up?

Drake: “The knee’s alright. Last night I had a bit of a scary moment. I saw somebody that had my mic and I walked backwards and I fell. But I got up and I had to go onstage right after.”

Complex: You tune down your stage show at all?

Drake: “No [Laughs]. That’s the scariest part.”

Street shit.

2009-07-29T14:15:00.000-07:00

This Thursday, July 30, LAartlab has invited Bobby Hundreds, Rick Klotz (Freshjive), and Lanie (HELLZ) come check them out as they give everyone a verbal cheat sheet on how to fuck the streetwear game sideways. Who knows better than them?
Get there.
this Thursday from 7pm to 8:30pm at the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy. (111 North Central Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90012)

I make her say.

2009-07-29T14:07:00.000-07:00

Too much Kanye!! Not enough Hoes!!

I'm sprung on the symmetry in this video & didn't even find out that this song I'd been addicted to for the whole month of May had a video until right this second. Let's bask in it & all it's glory. You can if you bring your friend!!

Suck my Kicks.

2009-07-29T01:08:00.000-07:00

Come check out us (GhettoRockClothing) this Saturday @ DunkXchange as we celebrate their four year anniversary with the ill stylings of Gza, Evidence, UNI, DJ Muggs & a bunch of other kick worshiping muthafuckasss. Get there.

Lily does Chanel.

2009-07-29T00:55:00.000-07:00

And why the fuck not? She rocks the brand like it's her religion, so they've asked her to be the face of their newest & truest!! I ain't madd.

Kinda Like A Big Deal.

2009-07-29T00:49:00.000-07:00

When asked about their first single off of the upcoming Till The Casket Drops album, they said that asking Kanye to spit on a track that he did was risky considering he was already married to the beat before laying his verse. & I must say they were right. Ye spazzzed on this shit. I dare you to argue.

Birthday Bitch Power!!

2009-07-24T15:22:00.000-07:00

How cute is Danille on this flyer?? Of course another masterpiece by Mr. Mike Reese. Happy Birthday to Carter's cutie & everyone should do the Hyde thing withe em!! It isn't too often you'll find this inked up babe hittin the streets so share the night with all the homies and toss a few back!!

Yesterday was the beauty all the way to the rights birthday. My favorite baby Bella, Courtnie, is growing up & everyone better be wishing her the most & best!! & yes to answer every one's questions: L.A. does have all the good women!! I'd say sorry to the other states, but Cali's pretty unapologetic about it!! Sidebar: shouts to Jen & Cara, they rocked that shoot too!! Love my ladies. On that bitch power shit!!

Silent but deadly

2009-07-17T14:35:00.000-07:00

A lot of people only think I'm the only chick behind GhettoRock(girls line) but you'd be oh so very wrong. I have a silent partner, that's right, there is another boss lady around these parts & her name is Gabriella. Camera shy & fly as fuck!! Gabby gives me the freedom to be the creatively neurotic cut throat bitch I tend to be. She takes care of business & could give a shit less about talking about it!! Get in the know!! Get familiar or get the fuck up outta here!! Till the casket drops Gabs!!

ww.ghettorockla.com

Yup they're some knuckleheadz

2009-07-17T11:17:00.000-07:00

Every time I was in the vicinity of Like he was attempting to play some shit off this heavily anticipated project they call Church League Champions. Now I see why he was always so proud & Hype off his shit!! Good job boys!! They them knucklehead niggaz that you heard about. Cop: www.churchleaguechampions.com

L.A. Bella loves the Pac boyzzzzzzzzzz!!

Bitch Power.

2009-07-17T10:55:00.000-07:00

I truly just realized that after giving props to all the chix deserve it, I never pat myself on the fuckin back. The streetwear hustle is usually mastered by fellas & when chix come up & can hang in the game I think they deserve recognition and support too. So fuck being modest as I put my humility on hold for a second and say that GhettoRock 4 chix is killin & we aren't the only one. Two of my favorite girls on the west are doing the same thing with their line Weekend Warriors clothing. Come check both lines out hanging with the big doggs this Saturday at Unlaced, (details in previous blog)

Comp for the guap but only love in the streets!!

Fuck you!! I support Hip Hop!!

2009-07-15T22:13:00.000-07:00

No point in lying!! I kinda got on some. I'm not posting any of the homies shit because everybody else is!! & then I realized, fuck that, I support the homies & further more I support L.A. Hip Hop & if you happen to have a problem with it, FUCK YOU: NO VASELINE!!! Yes I'm aware that some rather important people/groups were left out, but I've decided this will be a weekly occurance, so get familiar with the first batch!! The second will be just as ill!!

& I know I somewhat singled out L.A. hip hop & just wanted to say Spitta is heavily holding the NO down!! We see you Currensy!!

Kill or be killed.

2009-07-14T15:27:00.000-07:00

Yeah!! Um!! They killed it!!

I was just in the mood to post dope shit. Shouts to Rino & Maryss.

The 18th.

2009-07-13T21:34:00.000-07:00

I trust to see everyone on the 18th. Stop by the GR booth. Pic up some gear. Step your kick game up. Hear the homies rock the stage & most likely recieve some sort of overly sarcastic remark from my ass. What can go wrong?

Took long enough.

2009-07-13T21:24:00.000-07:00

For anyone who attempts to make plans with me on a Sunday evening. Don't waste your time. The boys are back in town & considering my current due strike, I'm also hopefully going to be living quite contently vicarious through E & Sloan if all goes according to plan. Oh HBO how you love me so good. Ari Gold is my hero!!

My favorite shoes I ever owned were these amazing balenciaga works of art, where I recently broke the heel. Lucky for me they make nauseatingly expensive yet just as fly shit all the time, not so lucky for my bank account. I'm quite into all of these.

Leave it to the bells.

2009-07-13T20:45:00.000-07:00

Yup!! You know it!! The bells are once again being rocked!! So check it out at a city near you & all that good shit. In case you live under a rock or possibly on an island that only distributes shitty ass music let me give you a simple tutorial on who you should be excited to see, if you wanted to maybe pretend you like ill shit...

Bitch Power: Alexa Chung.

2009-07-06T10:31:00.000-07:00

She hosts that new 30 minute refresher "It's on With Alexa Chung." & of course I love her because there's something very laid back and tom-boyish about the UK ex-model. She had a few fashion documentaries and TV show appearances under her belt. Alexa seems to be smarter than the average broad and quite clever, with a speedy word. You've gotta respect that. Check her out. She's far too like able not to. & for the record her high end chiffon skirts coupled with vintage rocker tee's and killer heels and flats are almost to fly to bare. Besides all that I'm a full on sucker for all European accents. Boys need not apply. I only like em on chix.

Red rover. Red rover.

2009-07-03T12:11:00.000-07:00

Lately (& by lately I mean, the past 3 days lol) I've had an obsessive addiction to red lipstick. I'm thinking about having a love affair with it throughout summer. Mac has some pretty fly red shade and so does Chanel, but for some reason YSL's Red Muse is working for me as of now. I'll keep you updated on my search for the perfect red. There's something about wearing red lipstick that makes everything else okay.

It definitely gases up my "I don't give a flying fuck" side & I love it. Muah. It makes me feel like I can make the rules & break the rules. Like I can do what I want when I want and why I want. Wait, is lipstick supposed to do all that? Got Damn, this might cause some trouble, but then again..who gives a fuck..it's summer!!

These muthafuckas here.

2009-07-03T11:53:00.000-07:00

Alright okay!! These boys dropped their mixtape!! & yes Spitta is on the shit too, so stop running your mouths, cause I love that fucking kid. As well as their in house producer Fuzzy Felix!! HighHouse MuthaFuckass!! & of course Mr. H.I.T graces us with his presence. I'm full of shit for leaving T till last, but I figure most of you fake ass bastards expect me to say some in too deep type of bullshit, so I won't. Pick it up if you're into it. If you aren't, then don't. Simple as that. Pick up Shante's This Ain't No Mixtape & Hit's A Beautiful Mind if you haven't done that yet too!! I vouch for both of em!! Deal with it!! From Long Beach to the NO. They got thier FS jets set!!

all hail McQueen.

2009-07-03T11:46:00.000-07:00

It is very possible that I would give up my first born child for the combo of these Alexander McQueen dreams. The glove clutch is too fly for comfort. I can't even take it & as for the booties. Can I please marry them? For some reason they give me that butterflies in my tummy feeling.

2nite Muuhfuckahh!!

2009-07-01T22:40:00.000-07:00

I'm com'n straight fromt he airport so you better show your faces chumps & suckazz!!

Take that D

2009-07-01T22:36:00.000-07:00

SO, yeah I'm gonna sound like a hater when I say that the beginning of this video is too corny for comfort. I mean, I get the whole ass and titties shit for the dudes, but c'mon. It gets pretty funny at the end & I wouldn't have minded if the eye candy chix could serve on the court. However my favorite part was: "Take that D" lmao comedy. Drizzy did it again. I guess.

A legend beyond all legends.

His family has been extended family of mine since adolecense. This is a sad day for all of us. For the world, for his friends, fans & family. My heart is with Joe, Katherine & the rest of the family. My prayers as well. Bro, I love you soo very much!! I'll be taking a break for a while

Only in L.A.

2009-06-17T21:40:00.000-07:00

You know it's summer when we officially claim our Championship (agian) & when kids start heading back to Do Over. I can dig both! Summa Summa Summatime!!

2009-06-17T21:23:00.000-07:00

Her name's Omahyra and she's a super model that tends to fly a little under the radar. You probably remember her from her Roc-A-Wear, Prada era circa Pharrell & Jay-Z's Change Clothes video. She was the bad ass tomboy that pretty much looked like she could take or leave being in a Hova video, & how could you not love that? The whole point is..where the fuck has this beauty vanished to? Book Book Book doll! I miss your face & the I don't give a fuck vibe that it so graciously gives off.

Best of both worlds

2009-06-17T21:15:00.000-07:00

I've been on these two chain smokers newest project pretty tough lately. I've always had a soft spot for the them. Maybe because they were the first people I ever masterbated to lol. It could also be because they're fucking dope. Plain & simple. I haven't really heard much in traffic about Blackout 2, but I'll vouch, for some reason I always seem to fuck with Red & Mef.

We aren't VR troopers.

2009-06-17T21:08:00.000-07:00

Mr Dearest Balenciaga, I liked where you were going with the chunky, motorcycle-ish booties, but this transformers shit has got to go. Get back to me soon. xoxo Brenn

Chick stuff.

2009-06-17T20:43:00.000-07:00

Long Story short: Chrishabana’ smoking lips Necklace is sick sick sick. It might just be me. I have a thing with photography involving smoke & shit like that, so when I saw this it fell right into the category as a must have. & fast!!

Well look what we have here. Lovemade and Hancholo Met, lusted, loved & left us with a pretty gnarley snake shape earpiece. Get this, you don't even need to have your ear pierced to rock this sicker than your average trinket. I can't lie. I'm ridiculously clumsy enough to lose it first day, but for those of you that have the luxury of poise, I'd hop on this. If you can pull this off, I gotta tip my hat to you. I'm afraid I might look a little space junkee-esque. You decide yours.

Jay Stays Paid Real quick.

2009-06-17T20:27:00.000-07:00

Diz Gibran is at it again. He just dropped "Dark End of the Street" produced by Moonshine. Seems like every time someone plays me some new shit, Dizzy's featured on it too. So stay tuned, this guy's not sitting still. Check him below, rockn at the Jay Stays Paid release last month.

All the proceeds went to Mr. Yancey's family. It was a good time with good people & good music. R.I.P Dilla.

Talkn My Shit

2009-06-10T13:54:00.000-07:00

We allow you to spit your game so allow me to talk my shit!!
This week over a few blunts here and a few bowls there, my friend Jen & I found ourselves discussing how dudes get at chix and then when the chick isn't into it they usually come back with "why you acting like that?" or maybe "why you trippin?". So fellas, please, enlighten me!! How are WE crazy because we're not into you. Like we lost all sense of logic & sanity because we're not trynna give you our number? There's only one response for all that.

Extra shit.

2009-06-10T13:49:00.000-07:00

Extra cash this check? Waste it on this!!

I've always wanted to clock some bitch in the face & say "Love, Brenn" but now it's the best of both worlds, cause I don't even have to say it. The imprint can say it for me. Perfect!!sidebar: by Chutapat Wittaya

Ahhhh yeahhh do you wanna ride with us?? Why yes Paul Frank, don't mind if I do.
I want the black one & I'm out!! Bitch get off me.

Clear out the runway.

2009-06-10T13:39:00.000-07:00

Well, the day has come where this niggaz face is on my blog. At the end of the day you gotta go to see Clipse, Pac Boys (shouts to them, we see you doing your thing, still fellasss & this time we want to hear "Shut Up" this time!!) & of course Diz Gibran (shouts to him too & if you're sleeping on Dizzy, I want nothing to do with you!!) Mr. H.I.T does come with bars & I couldn't think of anything bad to say about Fe if I was paid to. I love that muuhfucken guy!! & that dude in the middle that I spent way to much of my adult life giving a fuck about, well, all I can say is I'm sure he'll give you everything he has the stage this night!! There, that was nice, mature & clean, right?? lol Come on out!!!!

Thanx Miss Rose.

These "RockStar's below I can do without.
They look like an art project.
Or maybe glasses post Be-Dazzler.
No Thanx.

Calling all Hook Hoes.

2009-06-08T19:19:00.000-07:00

Sidebar: Common & Ye's verses are killer!!

So someone has to say it and apparently that someone is going to be me. So yes Lady Ga Ga your speculations are accurate. You are a hook hoe.
Hook Hoe: (noun) one artist that should only result in singing/rapping/talking on hooks as oppose to creating a full length song, or verse.
Long Story short: Stop harassing my ears, it's invasive. I can only control so much music around me & I don't deserve this. Sidebar: what do you look like without your wig and all that extra'd out shit?

Back when L.A. Bella was just an idea we took a meeting with a brilliant photographer by the name of Dirk Mai. I have since then been obsessed with everything he shoots & figured it was about time I let you in on this amazing secret I've been harboring.

What's the solution?

2009-06-05T19:46:00.000-07:00

This is some what old, relatively speaking, but it seems that most of these kids running around that claim the DJ title just play records. So, instead of going off on one of my wild rants I'll let Rev & KRS do the talking for me.

but wait there's more. DJ Rev presented us with the Malcom & Martin album, so let's see the boys do their thing.

Mr. Syliztik Jones & Mr. KB I.Mean I'd be lost without you!!

Oh so steezy.

2009-06-05T19:27:00.000-07:00

Okay so I'm supposed to hate other chick streetwear lines & usually I do for this simple fact that most of them are trash (especially in comparison to our shit) but in all actually MOB & Triumvir are so fucking steezy I can't help but love it. SonOfABitch!!

Knuck if you buck.

Bitch Power goes to Kristen Stewart.

2009-06-01T22:52:00.000-07:00

In a nut shell, she's fucking adorable. Miss Kristen Stewart (star of the teeny bopper movie phenomenon, Twilight, which I must admit, is borderline amazing.) Kristen caught a lot of shit for what she wore to the Mtv movie awards, but I say "Fuck what they think, so what you didn't want to wear heals & you threw on a dirty pair of chucks, fuck their Loubitons (ok ok I don't mean that) you're ill & different & it's always better to stand out rather then blend it, you're the shit K.S. & I'm type stoked for New Mood to drop." Whew!! & that was all in one breath. Leave her the fuck alone over-rated media posse, go pick on someone whose weight is fluctuating or something like that. Besides isn't Lindsay Lohan sucking on or eating out someone new by now?

Cop That! Cop That!

2009-05-31T12:37:00.000-07:00

The two of these albums had their listening parties last week & I can tell you first hand that you should not be taken lightly, the first week of June. Jay Stay Paid & The Ecstatic drop. Don't fuckup & forget to snatch em!!

So Lolita

2009-05-31T12:28:00.000-07:00

Hellz Bellz gives us their SUmmer 09 & not a moment to soon. They call it So Lolita & I love it. Loved the movie, love the line, love the collection, love the lookbook. Damn you Hellz Bellz, you've done it again!!

A message by George Carlin

2009-05-31T12:23:00.001-07:00

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and
smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees
but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more
problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little,
drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too
little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our
possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and
hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to
life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but
have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer
space but not inner space.

We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air,
but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold
more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less
and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of
two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer,
to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the
stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time
when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going
to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your
side.

Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you because that is the only
treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember,
to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all
mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep
inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday
that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak
and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind

Turntable lab turns it up!!

The Mos Def listeing party & DaeOne's belated birthday beat battle we mushed together sure did come out pretty damn ill. & let's face it, if you weren't there, nobody noticed.

2nite.

yes please!!

Props to a good cause.

My boy Skotch Davis made it down to New York to perform at the Aids rally, the least we can do is by a fucking shirt. Let's save ourselves, it's in our hands!!

This time around the collaborations include Yoko Ono, Katy Perry, N.E.R.D, & Dita Von Teese to name a few.

Applying Pressure or Kiss My Ass? Honestly. I'm a fan of both these dudes. You gotta know with Jada and Cass you already know what you're going to get. They're in the same lane. You know what they're going to spit about before you put it on. Just know that instead of expecting them to evolve or try the versatility of different lanes they're coastin in theirs & still spitting fire. That cook it, sell it, count it & bust first, snitch never shit. I guess it's that "if it ain't broke" mentality. I'm poppin em both in on my gully shit!! lol.
