C&C Drop

New “Ruling Elite Pack” drops today from the Crooks fam. Available only at the flagship Melrose spot, it features four tees, each with gold & purple on white to commemorate the LA Lakers’ playoff run. The core logos we’re all familiar with are used, just with the Lakers’ trim color added. Nice and clean, perfect for summer, perfect to rock when they meet the Celtics later this week in the NBA Finals.

BONUS: A glimpse of the ladies’ joints set to be released later this year. It’s about time Crooks catered to the ladies. They got that swagger too.

That was just a lame excuse to put some sex up in here.. sue me

Update: Just got Tha Carter III in its entirety with Bonus tracks. I will put it up, along with a review, so stay tuned.

Have A Seat

This may be a week old, but I just skimmed through the blog over at BBC and saw this interesting piece. Expanding his creative palette, P designed the chair in collab with Domeau & Pérès, a couture/high end furniture company, that will build the chair with its accompanying pieces. Aptly named the Perspective, it really puts a new twist on form and functionality, where art becomes a part of your daily culture.

Pharrell loungin’ on the Perespective. Apparently its supposed to symbolize the love between a man and a woman. Gotta love art.

Meet Tha Carters

Who hasn’t heard of Tha Carter III yet?? Late last week the tracklist was leaked and we all got a glimpse of the type of production that went into the most anticipated album of the year. I just recently got a copy of some of the full versions, no record label tags, just the straight goods. The first track with Hov is nothing short of a classic, real nice beat to it. The second features production from Mr. West, hittin’ with the looped samples. That last one kills it conceptually. Basically Weezy’s the doc, who’s been giving life back into music & the industry. Sounds about right..
