If you are a half dead Zombie lobbying for your next meal or just a N.O.R.E. fan (”getting brain in the whip and not crashing it”) you need this Tshirt.

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009CARHART STREET-WEAR ANTOHER MOTOWN RECORDS…WTF
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009
So was In Harajuku looking all over for a tee the said Tokyo on the front. The only thing coming up ironically were shirts that said New York. Then I roll up on the Carhartt street-wear store- I’m familiar with the work-wear brand(the rugged gear made in Detroit) so I was anxious to see their take on Street. Every other shirt had a reference to Detroit and especially reference to the electronic music scene(you can imagine my excitement). So I start talking to the store worker who speaks English and he informs me that the store just opened up and they have another store in Munich, Germany. I’m like WTF! all of this gear exploiting the D and you don’t even sell this shit in the city you rep. This is some bullshit. Motown records all over again. “Let’s exploit the name, the game, and culture and do it from long distance.” Suckas.
Being from Detroit this didn’t sit well with me because it is history repeating itself and its all too painful. My job is to bring you the flyness and this apparel is definitely fly and I love what they are doing with urban artist, so go to the site and cop a few Detroit tees. But a note to Carhartt and its decision makers, remember your roots and give back to the city that helped build you.

CONVERSE (PRODUCT) RED™ SHOES
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
After losing DWade, converse steps up there game on a global awareness scale. Forget a NBA star. How about saving the world one pair of fly kicks at a time. These are so fresh, they might make the D.O. Double G. bang to the right(pause). 5% of the net wholesale price of these CONVERSE (PRODUCT) RED™ shoes will be paid to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Geneva, Switzerland). No part of the purchase price is deductible under U.S. law. Only 200 bucks. Cop 1, cop 2, cop 3 pair.
JORDAN CAMPUS CHUKKA - NIKE HARAJUKU EDITION
Sunday, November 29th, 2009
After searching high and low for a pair of kicks that I wouldn’t find in New York(the Sneaker capital), I struck gold at the Nike store in Harajuku. Allegedly these only dropped for the Harajuku store(see earlier post). So the odds of anyone rocking these in New York are slim but not impossible. They’ve been out for two weeks so I’m sure I’ll see them on ebay or on the shelf at the low key sneakers stores here in Gotham.
There are more Tokyo posts coming later in the week, and check my Flickr link for random photos from the trip.

FACEBOOK INSPIRATION
Monday, November 16th, 2009Recently I asked the question via Facebook status “What do the words CREATIVELY PROSPEROUS mean to you?”and the response was very valuable:
KH- very close to creative class, organic, authentic, paradigm shift etc etc.
KM- Awareness of your power 2 consciously create every experience.
NC- synonymous with ‘personal transcendence’
CP(Ric)- KH- authentic, paradigm shift, right on. KM- on the money. NC- nicely put, its the process. All good.I’ve beening using this to define the intent behind things I atempt without really defining it.If I can say it in two words, these are them.
JC- Part of being “creatively prosperous”, or even the act of being Creative… Is to always add VALUE to the world. I think it should always be a “giving out/back” rather than “taking in”
RW- I’d say it depends on who’s saying it. In communication, context is everything. If a designer said he’s “creatively prosperous”, it might mean that society is willing to pay him for what he loves doing. If an entrepreneur said it, he might mean that he is able to discover and execute great business ideas. If an environmentalist said it, he might mean that he can live with less and still flourish. All of them seem to imply an overlap of passion and economics.
CP(Ric)- For me creativity comes in waves. Sometimes small waves other times tidal waves or tsunamis. Weather calm or violent, the light bulb like trance IS the gift. So often when i say I want to continue to be ‘creatively prosperous’ i mean to say i want to always be in tuned to when the waves are coming, and always be able to catch the wave with style. I‘ve never surfed before but I imagine it to be much the same.
Now as I grow, time is money more than ever so hopefully the waves are carrying more than seaweed.(metaphor officially murdered)
RW- :D Well said…
CS- That’s was the 1st post in my feed this morning: very inspiring.
Creatively: uniquely designed based on your personal talents
Prosperity: An idea of wealth certainly but also peace
Being creatively prosperous is to let your imagination lead your to a path of richness and acceptance.
AG- Prosperous by virtue of creativity, which extends beyond the traditional definition of what it means creative.
Creating how you are successful, creatively!
“Marked by the ability or power to create”
“Having the quality of something created rather than imitated” (Merriam Webster)
CP(Ric)- very good.
KP- Get paid for your creative shit…..Oh! and don’t let nobody tell you what it’s worth….
RE- Your total prosperity is directly connected to your creativity
GB- channeling an abundance of creativity through and into everything that you do

SNOOP D.O. DOUBLE GIZZLE & CREATIVELY PIZZLE
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
Apologies for the late post, but the team has been in it like we stepped in it. Many of you on the east coast went to the crazy Snoop Dogg show with Meth,Red, and Devin. And on the west you caught the Big Homie with DJ Quik and the new young gunner Nipsey Hussle (youtube him). Well CP was at all of them. Our friends over at Voice Over Productions called on the prosperous for the shows advertising materials. Shout out to cp illustrator Kevin @ KP Studios for the clutch drawings. This project called in CPers in 3 time zones (like we where throwing up one big ass W).
West West Y’all.
