Ok, shout out to Pamela for sharing this with the Prosperous. I’ve watched it like 6 times today. Directed by Kahlil Joseph, this video/movie for Shabazz Palaces is a beautiful dreamworld inside the dreamworld known as Watts, CA(pay attention to your dreams). Before this I was not up on Shabazz Palaces but certainly familiar with the dude on the mic- Butterfly from Digable Planets. If you don’t get inspired by this…well…open your eye and watch it again.
There is something about a bicycle that is pure design crack. Like men’s suits, the basic design has not changed. Its hard to improve on perfection but the guys over at Vanilla Bicycles are giving it a go.
To the Prosperous, nothing is impossible. Become immersed in your craft, be an expert but stay learning. Check out The Vanilla Workshop- a collaboration between master fabricators; expert bicycle painters; photographers; wood, leather, fabric and metal workers–all working closely to bring the intelligent, edgy, sexiness of Portland to the rest of the world. These guys are official.
Some of you may still be recovering from a broken neck from the first time you saw these… Maharam and Nike’s first collaboration, the 1WORLD Air Force 1 incorporating a fabric from Dutch designer Hella Jongeriusâ.
Well they’re back at it with these. Click on the photo to take you to the original post.
For my fam in NC holding down the Motor City and continuing the legacy sampling soul. For little Myles(and Mason), 9th Wonders’s beats speak to me- hope you can feel it. Real Hip-Hip, r.i.p J-Dilla. Shout out to Maestro for always shining a light.
