Track of the Day


Came across this track while I was getting dressed today and it felt fitting to share with you. Yesterday, myself and some fellow 31 Percenters were discussing MC's and who were the "best dressed". Silly to discuss you say? Maybe so, but real niggas talk about real things. Plus "Belly" was on which probably sparked the discussion. Anyway, we made it more specific by just focusing on top 5 stylish MCs from NYC. It definitely wasn't the easiest list to come up with, but we came up (in no particular order) Nas, Fabolous, Run-DMC, Fat Joe and Raekwon. Each was added to the list for their own personal style and attention to not looking nutty when going out into public. I had no reservations on these MCs, but when I mentioned Ghostface aka "Pretty Tone", aka "Wally Champ", aka "Tony Starks", aka "Starky Love", I was looked at like I had committed a cardinal sin! Why though? How do you leave a man who has a solid gold eagle ornament that's the size of an actual eagle on his wrist off this list? It was all gold! Can we give him some points on that at least? He wears over sized robes with his name embroidered on the back. He's classy to wear a robe at time when many keep it in a towel and paying attention to the importance of detail by putting his name on the robe. I ain't mad it him! Anyway, I could continue on about how "fashion forward" Wu-Tang's "Iron Man" is, but I could be here all day. Either way, he'll rest at a solid #6 on my list of "stylish and best dressed" MCs from NYC. I think he'd find it rather fitting, no pun intended.
Track of the Day- Ghostface- Never Be the Same Again feat. Carl Thomas and Raekwon

ONLY MICKEY MOUSE IS ACCEPTABLE IN THE HOUSE


I have a mouse issue at my place. At this point I feel like I have a roommate. We share food and he introduces himself to guests when they come over. I hope he moves out soon though. He can be pretty messy!

THE BEER CAN WITH NO TOP!



I'm not a huge beer drinker. It's bad for the gut I'm trying to loose. This new Sly Fox beer can listed above may make me make an exception.

Read more about their new can, how it changes the taste of the beer, and all the other cool facts associated with the brand. This idea is sly as a fox. 


Track of the Day

                                              "Stay blessed my nigga, blessed my nigga
Really think about it, could be worse my nigga
Don't stress my nigga, yes my nigga
We all blessed my nigga..."


Something to keep in mind. 
Schoolboy Q and K.Dot put together an honest track that you have to respect when compared to what you hear today. "Put a little faith in it and realized we're all...blessed."

Track of the Day: Schoolboy Q- Blessed feat. Kendrick Lamar

Track of the Day




Monday mornings are never easy to wake up to for the "workin man". I keep my iTunes on shuffle in the a.m. with hopes that it'll play something that'll get me in the mood to start the work week off right. When I hear classic Nas like "life's a bitch" or "the world is yours" it gives me a youthful feeling. It's nostalgic and ultimately brightens up my day somehow. With the vintage jazz piano sample, Pete Rock on the hook and Nas' effortless flow and lyrics this song gave me some energy and a reason to not walk into the office today feeling like a mummy.

Ps: Try to keep the thought that the world is yours in your mind. Watch how practicing positive thinking can change your outlook on "your world".

Track of the Day: Nas- The World Yours
