Unreleased Version of Scenario, not really a big deal



WOW! I guess the internet's pretty cool, and according to NahRight there may be more. Coolest thing I've heard since the OG version of It Ain't Hard to Tell. Sidebar but I hope Michael Jackson releases an album/boxset with the 60 or so songs that didn't make Dangerous...

I'd say they're 2 for 2, or 3 for 3 if you count the Cappuccino remix.

Vintage Nas Interview


Courtesy of Nahright. Great video, comes off real humble and real cool at the time. Hearing him talk about working with Premo and AZ really makes me wonder why they don't still collaborate. Still waiting on that Nas/DJ Premier street album.

New Q-Tip

http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=22875

Will The Renaissance ever come out? Does anyone read my blog? What are horseshoes? Are there horse socks? Is anyone listening?

Big Nike Kobe MVPs


Wow. Uber limited, 100 pairs or something. Hope Nike does more with the Big Nike's, definitely have an AJ1, Dunk, Blazer type feel to them but feel cooler. Pics are from Sole Collector via Nice Kicks. If you didn't know I just take everything I post from other blogs, hence the title Stuff I Like.

Mr. Bentley ft Ye, 3000, and Sa Ra



Not the biggest Bentley fan but this video/song is dope. Remember him being on the Can't Tell Me Nothing mixtape, and judging by the lines in Kanye's hair I'm guessin they filmed this video last fall. Cool concept, lots of creative/abstract people on one set.

Penny 3 and Penny 2 Retro Pics


Via NT via ISS, original colorway Penny 3's on left and Heat colorway Penny 2's on right. Quality and shape look good on both, look for these to drop in late 08 and 09 respectively.

Pastelle Hoody

First look at Pastelle besides those sunglasses from the "Wouldn't Get Far" video. Not sure if I'm feeling the dunce cap hood or a full zip hoody being the first clothing piece from the line. Look forward to seeing the rest of the line actually come out (was supposed to drop in November last year) and if he'll still bring out Mascotte (less expensive line, polos with dropout bear logo, stuff like that).

Classic

Ricky Rubio


Amazed. He's gotta be the shortest foreign prospect ever to get so much praise and potential number 1 pick! The future crop of NBA point guards with guys like him and Brandon Jennings coming in and Chris Paul and Deron Williams setting the bar is real exciting. I think its really cool how fans are starting to embrace the foreign players. In Japan and China all the basketball magazines cover the NBA in crazy depth but they also keep up on the players and standings in all the foreign leagues. The game is going global, and it really is a good think. Can't wait for the Beijing Games.
PS. On the same mock draft website (nbadraft.net) there's a 6'7 Russian pg whose NBA comparison is Penny Hardaway!!! No video on him yet, I'll be on the look
PPS. $1o Paypal to anybody that sends me a link where I can buy either of their jerseys

Nike Air 1/2 Cent


In general I think hybrid sneakers are kind of lazy and uninspired, but for Nike to make basically a new Air Penny shows a lot of respect for Penny's legacy and to sneakerheads. With that said these will definitely be on my feet. Anybody reading this blog probably knows that Penny is my favorite player of all time and that his shoe line is number one to me too. Hope they drop some retro Penny gear and release "Double Action" on DVD. Now there's a package I would get.

Charles Hamilton> your favorite up and coming rapper

I know I've been on Wale, Jay Electronica, and the Cool Kids for a minute now, put this guy really has it. I've seen his stuff posted a lot on NahRight along with the likes of Joel Ortiz, Kardinall Official, Crooked I, and other guys I haven't really messed with yet, but I caught this video on NT last night and have been sold since. Hes crazy like Eminem (minus the doing vulgar things to his mother part) and is charismatic like Kanye with witty punchlines. Anyways he goes on and on and it stays entertaining. Check him out.
