Nas- Bye Bye Baby

So Much to Do about Nothing

What if it were not for my apprehension,
what could become of this craft?
For feeling outcast, late, insufficient, more.
Never thought i'd be my own best defense; my own obstacle, a pitfall if you will
What doesnt seem natural, has become a part of-
blaitant contrast to the charm, the confidence, the articulation, the foresight. 
Yes I said foresight.
So i guess its safe to say that this demon hides well,
Sabotage may we call it
Stupidity pretty surely
Your biggest fear, they ask, a tap dance-
I mask.
Effortless I task,
rearview mirror
In my bag

Automated Oceans

Automated Oceans,
in the sense that upon engagement there will be an eben flow.
That flow is as uncertain as your next day on this earth.
Whereever disappointing, you must seek worth.
Untimely intermissions, unbecoming of success.
I find meaning in abstract,
disenfranchised emmotions
when confronted by what they lack;
but somehow outcasted,
until Karma has her last kiss.



Automated Oceans are here:

Dont Get too Comfortable

Complacency: The biggest self inflicted barrier known to man.  I remember when i first learned the definition; I was being warned by a coach in High School about self imposed ceilings. Projections had it that I was on track for a star studded career, and he informed me that the only obstacle would be me, and a lack of work ethic.  There are many things that I have taken with me through the years of maturation and by far that is near or at the top of the list. I have found that my greatest moments are a result of hardwork and ambition, while my most stagnated ones, a result of complacency.  As i awoke today, by the grace of the most high, I reminded myself of the need to aspire.   Only God knows where I will end up, but I do have a say-so. In may not be "in the lights" but it will definitely be surrounding them, relatively speaking. 


Todays message: Fight Complacency

Wiz Khalifa steps up to the fire.....

As all the backlash set a storm as a result of his release of his highly anticipated cover art for his O.N.I.F.C (Only N---- In First Class) album which has been set back to September for those who have not heard yet. In describing the decision for the still, he explained:

"I'm Helpin Everyone Get In Touch With Their Inner Sleaze. If U Dnt Wanna Let It Out, Ill Express It For You" (via twitter)

How real is that? You add the adjective where you see fit. Inner Sleaze? Well I guess. When you really think about it, how many people do you know whom have a hard time adjusting to their innate kink? Well have no fear, Wiz Khalifa is here- FOR YOU. I'm sure Amber Rose won't mind one bit, as long as the album gets purchased, isn't that right my dear?  Be Free, Be Liberal and rep that Taylor Gang if you will. Bow to its leader who comforts you with:

"The Cover Art Should Give You Confidence And Let You Know You Can Fully Be Yourself In Front Of People No Matter What They Say Or Think" (via twitter)

#REDEMPTION

When counted out by so many, there are a select few individuals who have the intestinal fortitude if you will to rise above and stay the course, not only reaching their goals but at the same time finding a way to surpass expectation. Do you know someone who has never made a mistake, never had a setback? Neither do I. Join with me as I congratulate the brother Mike Vick for right the ship, and getting back to where he should be- An elite NFL QB as well as an upstanding citizen.

He recently released his apparel line for all sporty men, via Modell's called V7. Check out some highlights of the business man which you can appreciate, as well as his lovely wife which is another notch in his belt. Dare to disagree? Gotta tip my hat to the brother.

Pharrell Introduces "BeeLine for Billionnaire Boys Club"

Skateboard P has joined forces with designer  Mark McNairy to launch a new line Bee Line for Billionnaire Boys Club.  The two spoke about their collaboration in this month's GQ Magazine:

Mark McNairy:
"I always liked what Pharrell did with Billionaire Boys Club—it's like preppy streetwear. We started by collaborating on one shoe. We talked about doing clothes, and eventually it evolved into a full made-in-the-U.S.A. collection." (courtesy of GQ)

The duo went on to speak on their fashion sense's claiming that in their belief there is no distinction between street wear and men's wear which I totally agree with. A life outside the box is a great one. Concepts have a tendency to provide perameters enough. What's Couture these days? Thats something that maybe my girl @nakstyles can address later on.

You can expect more of what both are known for, great tee's bottoms and varsity jackets which I'm sure will become MUST HAVES really soon. Remember Bee Line for Billionnaire Boys Club, Coming Soon!
