Andy Allo feat. Blu - Dreamland

Sorry for not posting in a minute, but school/money was the motivation behind my absence... plus, I wanted to make sure you got a good look at my musical endeavors below lol. Anyway, this track has a very mellow feel and I find the video creates complexity within simplicity. And Blu is a beast on any track he's on. Can't wait for the I'm Beamin remix. Cheq.

The Preface

DISCLAIMER: THE VOCALS ON SOME TRACKS ARE STILL KINDA SOFT! This project is more of a purge than anything at this point. Didn’t know a thing about recording when I started or how to flow over a beat when doing it, and I still have a lot to learn. But consider this a stepping stone… I’m already at the next plateau. Still, I did it all on my own (mostly) an believe there is plenty potential if you give it a good listen. Next project (The Epilogue) already shaping up, an... now that I know what I'm doing, there will be no issues (except with datpiff lol) So, without further ado, here it is: The Preface.

KMD on "Freestyling"

Kool Moe Dee on varying definitions of the word freestyle: "A lot of the old-school artists didn’t even respect what’s being called freestyle now... any emcee coming off the top of the head wasn’t really respected. The sentiment was emcees only did that if they couldn’t write. The coming off the top of the head rhymer ...had a built-in excuse to not be critiqued as hard."

Forest in a Box

Here's the skinny from Gizmodo.com

In a public plaza in Oosterdokskade, Amsterdam, DUS Architects installed the Unlimited Urban Woods. On the outside: a non-descript white box with a few square meter footprint. On the inside: a forest as far as the eye can see.

Using a series of strategically angled mirrors, DUS made the illusory forest from just a single full-size tree. Hedwig Heinsman, one of the architects behind the project, said, "It's a space with its own horizon, where you can flee the city in the middle of town." Of course, all those mirrors mean that you'll always be sharing your forest-in-a-box with a whole crowd of people who look uncannily like yourself.

Blu "Big Bang Big Boom"

BIG BAG BIG BOOM - the new wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

This is not the musician Blu. This is the Blu that breaks ground in stop animation. And this is his most prolific piece yet. Watch all the way to the end, and learn about Blu's views on how the world came to be. Not my standpoint, but the message at the end is thought provoking.

Adidas Leather Wings 2.0 High Top

Jeremy Scott continues with his wing theme for the footwear line of his Adidas Originals by Originals Collection. For Fall/Winter 2010 he presents the new Leather Wings 2.0 high top sneaker. While previously the wings were attached to the laces, this new version has the wings features on the heel. The sneaker comes in a classic white/black colorway.

Idk how to feel about these... I wanna say they're fly, but that might just be because of the wings on the side lol idk... I'll sleep on it.
