The MC + The Break Up Song

Just got off the phone with Kwarmz, who is having some technical issues at the moment. He told me to upload these two vids from his favourite mixtape of last year "More About Nothing" I still play the mixtape most days as well. #nobandwagon.

Lacoste 12 Legends

My favourite brand of all time, Lacoste, (check this blog's first post) have come up with a fresh and innovative way of reworking some of their most signature sneakers. Mr Renè Lacoste, created the world-famous L.12.12 polo shirt, back in 1933. Now Lacoste have teamed with 12 collaborators from different fields and industries to help bring some new and exciting design ideas to life. Record label Stones Throw have been tapped up, as well as retail giant, i-d Magazine and Japanese high fashion desinger, Ato, this gives you an idea on the variety of brands working together with the company. Lastly, the entire rage will be (smartly) available on 12/12, December 12.

Below, are just some of the trainers available from the 12 Legends range.

Spotted @ Hypebeast.

Christmas Has Come Early For Some

My HNW brother, Dante, might be just be busting his favourite dance move, the Stanky Legg right about now.  For his wildest dreams have come true, Gucci have made 3D glasses. Not that he will not care too much about the 3D experience, but more so relieved whenever he is at the cinema, he will not need to take off his glasses, and others will envious be in their geeky big 3D spectacles. At the moment, only available from American stores, I have already joined the mailing list, the moment UK stockists get their hands on them, I will be getting asked for online verification. One man's rubbish is another man's treasure.

Voicemail Season Again - Fifa VS Pro

Okay today, the excited folk are buying Fifa and already writing off Pro, these fools never learn, in four weeks they will no longer be in love with Fifa and its great cosmetic features. You see, Fifa is like a pretty girlfriend, that hooks you in with her looks, but doesnt do nothing, after a while you will be bored. Sure there a lot of nice accessories to play with, but its not long before you realise, she is not for you.

Pro is a decent looker, but is like a ride or die chick, who doesn't do everything to please but ultimatley knows what you want and what will make you push your buttons. Better gameplay, a new online Master League feature and an revamped Become A Legend mode, I will be foaming at the mouth on the 8th of October, the same day as other real football fans.

That will be all, thanks.

I'm Better Than You

I have been waiting to hear this tape for a very long time. Stumbled upon his catalogue over the summer, I have been going crazy over his witty punchlines littered all over his freestyles. Listening to the mixtape, whilst I am typing this, the first 10 tracks are something else. To give you a taste of what is on offer, listen to Mickey flowing over Drizzy Drake's 'Light Up'.

Lacoste Stealth Chevel Hi

Lacoste's premium line, Stealth, have been showcasing the looks of their trainers, expected in stores near you around autumn time. Just recently the label introduced the Broadwick Hi in three separate colourways, but what intrigues me more, are the the new Chevel Hi's. Not because I think they are great trainers, but because I didn't think my favourite brand were that interested in making great trainers. Also the reason I am posting, in the hope that, the fine people at Lacoste see this post and give me complimentary Chevel's to match with my polos from the same company. Anyways, feast your eyes (above and below) on the hi-tops.

The Week Ahead

Lil Wayne - Going To Jail.

After postponing his intial sentencing, because of dental problems. The rapper will start his eight months-to one year bid on Tuesday. He just shot 7 videos, the other day.

Twitter Madness - Petering out.

There has been a lot of hoopla over the last few days with some UK artists on Twitter. Here are some of the more memorable/greazy tweets. Wiley,  Jammer and Lethal.

Scratching my head at the XXL 10 Freshmen list for '10.

Some names, like OJ da Juiceman on this year's list and on the same list as J.Cole?

Wondering how its March already.

Like seriously. 1st quarter is almost done. Wow.

Trying to buy some kind of Marc by Marc Jacob Lacoste accesory. Either that or a trainer.

No that one. Allow me

Tis The Season To Be Jolly

If it has ever been the season to be jolly it is truly now with "snow falling all around us, children playing having fun" (literally) a few days prior to Christmas all is looking well and a white Christmas is on the cards. Upon my travels today, whilst not trying to slip on the icy roads of Colchester I came across a limited edition pack of Oreo's

They look exactly as they do on the box, unlike your usual Mcdonalds advert where your shown a cheeseburger with perfection, and when you buy it, it looks like some one was playing with lego!

If you are to come across them, be sure to purchase and share them as there are 8 in the pack plus it is that "festive season"?

Peace

All I Want For Christmas..

Since I like posting my shortlists or lists of any kind really, here is my Christmas wishlist, all my one-way Secret Santas look carefully.

Remember I was talking about a denim shirt time ago, still havent' found one. Well I still haven't found one and money is low, but you get the drift. One like this, will do just fine.

The Office Season 3 on DVD. Probably my favourite show on television along with Scrubs and Football Tonight on Sky Sports News. Every year, myself and HMV have an agreement in place where they supply with me a new series, only trouble, I still have to pay.

For my beloved Arsenal to shoot up the table and be as close as possible to the Premier League leaders. If we are top come New Year's day, I won't need any of the other present.

To have gone back in time, on been on the set of the Young Money 'Bed Rock' video. Looks like a lot of stuff.

Money To Blow

With student loans dropping any day now, some people might be going over hard in the first few weeks of term. I'm thinking we might see a lot of Plaid/Check shirts, Vans, beanie & wooly hats and jeggings on campus.

I know uni is uni, but don't go too hard on the alcohol, because memories (not including your own) and Facebook can be a bitch. You've been warned.

Best I Ever Had

Made In Ghana

This juice, no, drink is stupid. If anyone has had this, you might think too sweet. Nonsense. As soon as Kwesi Frimpong (my connect) and I are cool again, you might see me in a random rave with this. Just dont ask me for some.

Some people are onto Hennessy, Red Bull, and even Cough Syrup but my addiction is Muscatella.

Mr. Lacoste.

Forget the biography, just know that I have a love, obsession with Lacoste polos and that's enough. Even filtered to me wanting cardies, boat shoes and my current perfume is Lacoste Essential. It's a lot I know.

Named after the tennis player, Rene Lacoste, who was nicknamed Alligator, a friend drew an embroidered crocodile on his tennis shirt back in 1926, and in 1933 they entered the fashion industry.

My collection stands at half of this display. No lie. Messed up my balance, ask Nat-West and didn't even buy all at full-price (U.S. holiday in '07).

To my knowledge Asos, have now added a Lacoste range..
