“I got a shout a couple years ago about a DJ in Brighton who’s playing the hell out of that record. So you certainly find a younger generation discovering and remixing stuff that I did, and making it all fresh again. Which is great for me; I love the idea that what I did then can still be relevant now.” — Paul McCartney for CNN, 6.15.11. Read the rest of this entry »

Sure, Nitty Scott is an attractive, soft-spoken female in the concrete jungle where dreams are made of, but she’s a microphone fiend at heart, thus the last name is MC is attached. And while looks can take you places, they tend to get little reverence in the alleys of respect. Gearing up for war for your acceptance, Nitty Scott, MC has her Scotch® tape in one hand and JVC on her shoulder Read the rest of this entry »

Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to. – John Ed Pearce

The big homie Mick sent out his newsletter earlier, detailing his travels & experiences with NY Mag, Roc4Life, Redbull and more. Yeah, big tings gwan on so check him out when you get a chance. But I was completely distracted by the newsletter’s leading image. More specifically, Mick’s shirt that he was wearing in the photo.

Three times dope and all the way acknickulous.

Interest piqued, I shot an inquiry over, found out the designers and where to cop.

Academy Printwear (aP) happen to be the minds behind this fine shirt and they hustle from the url http://www.academyprintwear.com. Turns out aP is more than just apparel but you can read all of that for yourself when you get there. I ended up copping the black and will probably end up snatching the white as well. Honestly, I could use a couple of each and I may end up splurging since all t’s on the site are on sale for $14 a pop. Finally, the perfect shirt for DJs, bloggers, fans and all. Says what we denizens of the ‘net oftentimes find ourselves typing & speaking. Hell, there’s a few rappers I’d consider sending these to because it seems like mere words aren’t getting the point through.
