Shades are always a good look if you got the money to blow then take a look at a pair of Oliver People Daddy B sunglasses ($325) they kinda look like Ray Bans to me, if your pockets aren’t that fat then check out a pair of Cassius Aalto sunglasses ($160) in moss/brown. Oliver Peoples’ Daddy B shades are slowly becoming the go to accessory among celebs because they’ve been spotted on Jay-Z

Kanye On Baseline Studios’ Closing

Here’s what Kanye has to say about their closing.

Lupe Fiasco Talks Lasers, Leaks & Mixtapes[Vid]

“I was plotting on doing the follow-up to that,” Lupe said. “Simply because [Enemy of the State] was short. And I felt like it was space to do another one. I was gonna do another one called Friend to the People, but I started to get wind that people had songs they shouldn’t have had. I was like, ‘This is just gonna open the floodgates if I come out with another record. I know these dudes are threatening to leak records and do crazy stuff.’ Sometimes I feel there may be too much Lupe music out there — whether it be old stuff or new stuff or freestyles. I don’t want to have a ton of music sitting out. I made the decision to fall back from it and really focus on the climb. We were a couple of weeks away from doing that.”

Nike Air Carnivore(Rerelease)

“Nike is bringing back a model that was forgotten about until now. The Nike Air Carnivore was released in 1993, the same year as Jurassic Park, which made most people think that the kicks were inspired by the film. The Air Carnivore will be released in it’s original colorway of Black/Olive/Purple soon along with another colorway to be released in the Summer. Look for them at Nike retailers in the upcoming months.”

Whats Popular: Jamie Foxx

I listened to an old Jamie Foxx track the other day and realized this dude is really a triple threat he sings acts and is funny as hell. Some actors try to rap and sing but are unsuccessful and alot of rappers or singers try to act but none of them do it better than Jamie. Not to mention he does his comedy shit once in a while. This dude makes hit and will probably never fall off. Check out the track that inspired this post certified baby maker!
