If you weren’t fortunate enough to attend the G-Shock 25th Anniversary event in New York last week, you can now catch a glimpse of Kanye West’s performance that night. In this video, you can see Kanye perform his hit song “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” with half nude girls dancing on the stage. It’s a pretty powerful performance so check it. Not really safe for work though.

It is particularly disappointing that for years hip hop fans got very few choices of female rappers in the mainstream to choose from. It was usually either the thugged out, crotch grabbing tomboy who lowered her voice a few octaves to spit with the fellas or the ultra stylized over sexed fashion obsessed woman who may or may have not had a male ghostwriter. Of course, this is an over generalization. Also, there have been throngs of dope female MCs who have and have not had mainstream success and can stand toe to toe with any male on the mic. However, it is time the hip hop community admits its blatant misogyny in this arena. This is why the career of Jean Grae has been so enthralling. The underground circuit alumnus has emerged as one of the best lyricists in the game bar none completely on her own terms. Grae’s ability to twist similes and metaphors into submission and with a conversational flow has garnered her cult like allegiance amongst those in the know.
The producer 9th Wonder is one of these many devoted fans who eventually have become a collaborator on Grae’s aptly titled fourth coming album “Jeanius”. The first single “Love Thirst” is a soft, sensual head nodder produced by 9th Wonder. Sonically the beat hearkens to the late 90s production style of Jay Dilla with its soft piano twinkle, powerful bass line and classic hip hop snares and kicks and breathy chanting in the background. Lyrically Grae paints a highly sexual picture that can be described better as a tasteful nude then hardcore pornography. Through it all, her metaphors are still as crisp as if she were running through a 100 bar braggadocio fest. The video compliments the video perfectly as Grae appears as a beautiful stranger in the back seat of a taxi cab running through her lyrics, juxtaposed by the scene clips from the Robert De Niro film Taxi Driver.
A new release from FC Real Bristol will drop this Friday. The release features the multi-paneled gingham check shirt. Four different colors of gingham are utilized, black, blue, red and green. Available only at SOPH. dealers and Isetan Mens’.
Australian brand Ugg seems to have struck a certain chord with various Japanese brands this season. While being the footwear of choice for dizzy blondes in some parts of the world, Ugg boots were seen on the feet of models in WTAPS’ Extreme Prejudice lookbook. SOPHNET. has teamed up with Ugg to create two styles of the Tasmania sandal. Available at SOPHNET. dealers starting May 23rd.
Up against the Air Max 90 Flywire, the Air Max 90 Current has perhaps been the early winner in fan support for the Air Max 90 Contemporary segment. Although not as technologically advanced as its lightweight counterpart, the Air Max 90 Current wins out mainly for his dedication to the original Air Max 90 on an aesthetics level, even staying true with an OG colorway rendition. The Air Max 90 Current features an ultra breathable toebox and upper due to the prominent use of mesh with the addition of a Nike Free sole for better running development. Look for these to hit select Nike dealers in coming weeks.

A signature CLOT Royale touch with the use of silk is seen in the liner.
