Sure Shot Party, @UBQ, Philadelphia




this is a video of the release i posted about a while ago. that thing was major. you shoulda been there...

Basquiat knew about the Illuminatti

"Melting Point Of Water" by Jean Michel Basquiat. what is the melting point of water? do i really have to spell it out for you?

now, i dont mean that as a way to sensationalize anything, but when i was looking thru pictures of his art earlier today, i couldnt help notice the signs and symbols that kept popping up in his paintings. it seems my man SAMO was up on the NWO. which strikes me because a lot of times, he's reflected on as a weirdo artist type who did a lot of drugs. he is a heralded artist, im not trying to say that he hasnt recieved the accolades he deserves, but there is little to no mention of this type of reflection in his work. and as i looked thru more and more of it, his collection of works are OVERTLY political and very conscious and aware of the nature of the power structure of the world.

for me, Basquiat means a lot because he's a graffiti writer. he has helped open these gallery doors to more graffiti artists seeking to make a living at what they love most. so this rediscovery this morning gave me even more reasons to respect an artist that i already admired. look closely, and tell me if u see what im talking about... and salute one of our own...




"Jackson" by Jean Michel Basquiat. an ode to the man that made the first stand against the Central Bank in this country. coincidence? 

"Liberty" by Jean Michel Basquiat. this one suggests a lot of things, all captioned in the color of blood...

"Price Of Gasoline In The Third World" by Jean Michele Basquiat. the title says it all...

Bboy Fresh: Custom Made Levi Jeans



when i saw this, i had to jump on it. as a person that has designed and made clothes over the years, this just jumped out at me. because i used to turn down requests for jeans, because, as i told people then, youd do better just buying some cause im gonna charge u for real. these are beautifully done, and worth whatever they are charging. its definitely worth checking out.





click here. the video shows exactly how much craftsmanship goes into each pair.

Cover Art: Kanye West: "YEEZUS"


Lets get the first part out the way.... the baw is gifted. nobody is gonna take that away from him. but dude is goin more and more the weirdo route.

let me take that back. i aint goin to call it weirdo, cause i understand what hes doing. or let me say i think i do. to me, i think hes doing that Prince/Madonna type controversy thing that looks like high art from the onset. i dont know, ill give him the benefit of the doubt, because dude is actually a real artist. so maybe he has grown into such. but something in me tells me that a lot of this is planning and not inspiration.

i remember seeing a video online of him when he was just gettin on, and he was quiet and humble and off to the side. but in that video he was talking about how he was gonna be one of those weird clothes wearing artists thats always in controversies and the press and followed by the paparazi. now mind you, this was when he had just started selling beats at Rocafella. he had it all planned. so i guess what im saying is, its not who he is, its who he always wanted to be. theres some pretention there.

now, what if im wrong? this picture is loaded with a bunch of symbols and occult leanings. what if thats his real agenda? now, i aint gonna get into everything i see... the man on his RIGHT side wearing the red gloves, the stairway, the inverted cross in the front, the inverted cross on the door, the 4 brides, the reptilian tongue...im leave all that alone... but he's trying to say SOMETHING to SOMEBODY.... stay tuned...

Brian Williams Raps "Nothin But a G Thing"






aww man! this had me dying laughing when i saw it! i know u gonna dig it too! im a big Brian Williams fan (i know, some geek shit, right?), he's the closest thing to Peter Jennings left... cool, calm under pressure... but this was way too fly! only flyer if he would have actually did it himself!
