The Renaissance will be one of the best albums all year!

Tip still has it, Rik Codero is the new Hype Williams, and Dilla is a beast and I wish I would have recognized his work when he was still with us. God Bless.

Random Throwback Track

A Big Thank You

Big thanks goes out to everyone from back home overseas in Iraq. While I don't necessarily understand or support the war I do appreciate the brave people literally fighting for us. This is no Go America, F*ck Iraq post, this is just me publicly showing love for people making a huge sacrifice in effort to help us. I had a chance to talk to somebody in the service and what he said really moved me. His biggest advice was to spread love back home. I couldn't agree more.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

1 John 4:11

Regardless of religious affiliation or lack there of, I think we can all agree that we're very blessed and we could all be a little better to people. I read a quote the other day saying "Love unexpressed isn't love at all." Definitely gonna try to express love and appreciation better myself.

Ian how do you know so much about shoes? How do you know the release dates and all that? Well the answer is lots of years of loving basketball and sneakers, and a lot of blog and forum digging. For those with less time, the good people at Kix and The City put together a nice wrap up of the upcoming releases. Worth a watch
