Recently, Nike has been putting out brands of shoes that are “New Schoolish”. I understand the marketing scheme of supply and demand so, more power to them. But these shoes here are RIDICULOUS (in a good way!). Although the shoe seems to be kind of secret, I managed to find THREE colorways. This “NY METS” colorway to the left I personally think is the dopest design. But as I mentioned in the “Air Yeezy’s” topic, you can almost never go wrong with a Black based Colorway. And fortunate for those who plan …

Today we have the first post of its kind. And thanks to Anno Domini Beats, we can expand our field of entertainment an inch further. Who doesnt know “Kool G Rap”? Despite his lisp (not funny) he has definitely left a huge mark in the hip-hop game. This is where a Beat by “The Hypnotist” from Anno Domini and Kool G Rap Collide, A remix of KGR’s single “Foul Cats”. Enjoy.[Audio clip: view full post to listen] ***You can also check out Anno Domini Beats at www.myspace.com/annodominibeats or www.soundclick.com/annodominibeats.***

Lets get this out of the way first before we continue on. Now, I know you R&B guys like to have the shirt unbuttoned to show off for the ladies (I’ve had my share of body pics before the beer belly!!!) And that is acceptable because hey, if you can sing and look like a G doing it, more power to you. But on the flipside, its kind of hilarious to see a dude trying to be “Mad Suave” just because he can hit a sick note. In addition, you …

Jason, Lunice and I had the opportunity to check out an Art Gallery yesterday, and to say the least, it was an AMAZING experience. The artist, Marcus, was kind enough to invite CUTS to view his paintings at 341 Marin Blvd in DownTown Jersey City. Besides the delicious h’orderves, wines and exquisite selection of music, the scenery and professionalism of the whole event was quite astounding. We spoke to Marcus for a little while and he is a pretty cool dude. Not only is he highly talented in front of a canvas, …

So who actually remembers this??? Maybe I had been done with watching TV by 2000-2001, because I honestly had no idea this existed. I had a friend of mine show it to me recently and I thought it was pretty dope. Then I started to realize that this is probably when Hip-Hop had added a crack to the wall leading to “Mainstream-ism”. This specific episode has Mos Def in it, but the show also stars an Emcee by the name of WordsWorth who I think is pretty skilled. Whatever the case may be, the show finally caught …

If you havent heard of the Style Elements Crew, thats understandable. But to not know the RockSteady Crew, is preposterous (How dare you!). Well either way, this is a battle between the two in the early 90’s. This is where America’s Best Dance Crew has eventually stemmed from YEARS later. This is where the “Conglomerate” of Hip-Hop has stemmed from. If you couldnt rap, you made beats. Couldnt make beats, then you danced. Couldnt Dance then you just bopped your head, regardless, this is hip-hop at its best. Disagree? Oh …

Now heres something you dont see everyday. This video may be kind of old, but I guarentee a lot of you havent seen it. This dude (who is from France by the way) is at a talent show KILLING the BeatBox. Razhel who? Nah, but this guy does have some talent and he actually is very into the American Hip-Hop culture judging by the selection of music he Re-creates. Way better than that UK guy we had on the “What Is He Saying??” topic from last week. But hes fun to …

This dude goes by J.R.A. And actually, the cover sounds pretty tight done over on an acoustic guitar. Very mellow, censored, and creative. He definitely got some skills in his voice and in his guitar skills. He also does covers for some other songs as well such as “Mad” by Ne-Yo; “Kiss Me Thru the Phone” by Soulja Boy; “Rockin’ That Thing” by The Dream and many others. So peep him on www.youtube.com if you enjoyed this. the named once again is J.R.A. and support the underdogs!!! Just hit the button people….

Well I wouldnt go as far as saying that its an “ugly” shoe, but most of the colorways dont fit it. Black is a given, White is pretty chill and Brown is “iight”, but all the purples and reds are a little too much. But as the times have changed (and boy have they changed!) men are wearing lime green tight jeans and a purple vest, and girls are wearing their brothers lime green tight jeans, so i guess the Air Yeezy’s fit right into these fashion faux pas’! But on a …

Watch out hes gonna shoot!!! Oh wait, thats just Jamaal White, our Featured Photographer today. Jamaal has a very unique perception when standing behind that Nikon. He has been taking photographs since 2002 and has come a very long way since snapping pictures for high school events. Jamaal fills his lens with vibrant images, and turns still life into a beautiful piece of art. Nature, Portraits and Objects in motion are captured remarkably and the professionalism clearly shows after the shots are digitally edited and remastered. Jamaal White also specializes …
