R.I.P George Carlin...

"George Carlin, the acerbic, Grammy-winning comedian whose career spanned more than 50years, died of heart failure Sunday after being admitted to the hospital complaining of chest pains, a hospital spokesman said. He was 71.

Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica shortly before 6 p.m., said his publicist Jeff Abraham.

The comedian, who toured college campuses for years and made a name for himself using dirty language and delivering biting social commentaries, had released 22 solo albums and three bestselling books."


Carlin was a funny dude man, like on some real. Didn't need to draw a huge crowd with shock value nonsense. Real sad day, but clowns don't get depressed...they hit people with pies. R.I.P dude.

"You've drawn heat from some older black leaders for the title. Does that surprise you at all?

M.I.A About To Go M.I.A???...

Yup, that's right you read right. Rapper M.I.A is packing it up in favor of the married life. Right on the heels of cancelling her upcoming U.K tour she had a gig in Bonnaroo (?) where she announced that it would be her "last show ever" to quote the energetic emcee.

She spat into the mic that the show would be her last three seperate times and thanked the fans for coming out to show love.

Damn...that was quick.

Forge A Great Date...

Yes we know that we have been little slackers in the nightspot perusal. It's time to get back into the swing of things!

This spot has yet to be visited by our tastes but here is a short synopsis provided by the father of urban delights:

" The Forge is the kind of room that makes you want to linger with a date and a cocktail on a summer evening: Cathedral candles are everywhere, the large floor-to-ceiling windows open up to the breezy tree-lined street, and the food starts at the nearby Tribeca farmer's market. "

Be our eyes, check it out and let us know if it forged a good impression!

Air Max 90 Current...

Currently what? Inspired by butcherism? We don't know how we feel about the new direction that Nike Inc. is taking the beloved Air Max 90 model. It seems to have gone a ways of the Presto model with a fully exposed mesh toe, all you bastards on sneaker forums crying and bitching saying "No mesh No go" can now shut the hell up!

Here's Nike's concept pitch:

" The first place the design team found inspiration was on the same page of the 1990 catalog as the Air Max, an incredibly lightweight shoe called Air Current. Designed by Bruce Kilgore, mastermind behind the Air Force 1, the Current expanded on materials first seen in the Air Flow from 1989. The Flow incorporated a nylon and Lycra stretch fabric into the shoe’s forefoot that reduced the need for bulky materials while providing a comfortable dynamic fit. Years later, the Presto would further develop this concept and earn accolades as one of the most comfortable athletic shoes ever made. For the AM 90 Current, a premium stretch mesh is incorporated into the forefoot, greatly reducing weight and adding breathability to the upper. "

Ehh..Pass.

NaS Album Cover...

NaS's latest effort will be untitled as we have all speculated. It will still pack the aesthetic punch with the graphic work of Nasir bearing a whipped back to form his "N" logo. Here's what, in an early press release NaS had to say about his whip appeal:

"It’s important to me that this album gets to the fans,” Nas said of his newest project. “It’s been a long time coming. I want my fans to know that creatively and lyrically, they can expect the same content and the same messages. It’s that important. The streets have been waiting for this for a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it."

July 15th is THAT DAY! Whether we want to give him credit or not, him and his team definitely saved probably the most marketing dollars in 2007-2008 for this new project. Kudos.
