So whats good world? Hope ya’ll had a good weekend. I decided to take yesterday off and give B.I.G. a chance to shyne, since its been a minute since he wa able to talk direct to everyone. But his day is past and…

I’m Baack.

So do I have for ya, I spent all weekend trying to track down that dope sh!t. So just like last week I’m gunna kick it off with the shoe game. Straight from the pages of WIRED magazine two hot additions to your repertoire.

The First is a website that I came up on while at SXSW. GraphJam its like crack for cube monkeys. I found this site when it first broke and I’ve been checkin back about once a week since then. I even have one of the OG posts so check it out

The second gem I got for you this week comes from the same Wired article[ yeah ok cool its a cop out i read one article found a few cool things then tried to pass them on... hey at least i did some extra leg work bc not only did i find you the original but I got you INFO.]

The true hotness for back to school, that is if you spent all summer playing the same board game. Monopoly the game that trains you for a recession has teamed up with Reebok to make some of the tightest shoes since the Ben Sherman Blinky’s

But Reebok didn’t stop at one pair, This old school game board pair will be out this month, and even though the guy at Journey’s has no clue about when, where, how much. Someone will be getting them and this first pair is set to retail around $70. But forget the first pair because the Online Shoe Store has the whole line, all 7 designs, and whats in store for the future Real estate tycoon.

So since I still have my Monday leanover in full effect I’m out for now

Peace.

Ok so Rah hit ya’ll with your daily 80’s love, and normally I wouldn’t bite off his posts, but really man ABDC?

MK’s got your remote on Thursdays huh? The dances were tight though and except for AC Slater those are hot videos. BTW Mario how come Screech is the porn king and your hangin’ out with high school dancers still?

I’m glad he kicked it off 80’s style though, because on my commute this morning the local HipHop station was actually playing good music, like late 80’s early 90’s flava in your ear. This doesn’t happen much
normally my 40 minute drive to work consists of 5 lil’ Wayne songs [ usually lollipop 3xs] and 1 Rick Ross jam, but today on Friday they do somethin’ called the Funky 45 and for 45 minutes between 7:30 and 8:15 they play “old school bangers” so next week in your ride in Check out z90 or 90.3, I don’t care if you listen to that station alot but to get the weekend started RIGHT at least on Friday morning it’s hot.

So a ‘lil history

I rep Boston, if asked where I’m from it’s alway “the ‘Cuse [via Boston].” I mean I’ve DONE that city, @ Fenway and Foxborough, 4 straight BeanPot tournaments at the Fleet and the BankNorth, but I’ve left and since 2005 I’ve only been back 4 times. Twice for work and twice for weddings, never going to the tourist haunts always hitting up places like Wally’s on Mass Ave or the Last Drop, local spots. So I was stunned last night when I was watchin “The Works” and you’ll see this on your DVR and they showed one of the Illest shoe stores ever. First I was floored that a Nike tier 0 was located in Boston, after that shock I realized that I knew the Bodega, well I should have known it. Located about 3 Blocks away from 3 of my 5 Boston apartment this hidden gem Fronts like a Mexican convenience store to keep all the trend jumpers and fakers out so only true Sneaker Freakers can get the true limited editions. Now not givin out the address bc thats not what they would want, but use your skills and get your yelp on and maybe you can get back to the underground Bodega roots. If you can get there so it , and if they have some MC. Shan Pumas pick em up for me and I’ll pay you [Size 11 1/2]. Head over by the Christian Science Center and find the Shoe Mecca, I mean I swore off Boston 2 months ago, last time I flew back here, but this store is so tight I might make a special trip, Unfortunately this place wasn’t around when I was still at NU. Unfortunate for me, fortunate for my bank account and the local liquor stores.

Sorry to hold out on the address but I had to find it the hard way so you should too. Don’t say I never gave you anything though bc here is some stuff to get your Friday off right.

and show your we’re dedicated

And for some nostalgia

and this weekend remember.

peace
