This is a world-renowned tailor and published author on men's style talking about style... Plain and simple, pay attention

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BASQUIAT!!!



He would've been 48 years old... R.I.P.

(And now... A brief bio via wikipedia...)

Jean-Michel Basquiat (December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988) was an American artist. He gained popularity first as a graffiti artist in New York City, and then as a successful 1980s-era Neo-expressionist artist. Basquiat's paintings continue to influence modern day artists and command high prices.

Neptunes Beat Bio

THIS IS THE SHIT THAT REMINDS ME WHY EXACTLY THE NEPTUNES ARE ARGUABLY THE GREATEST MUSIC PRODUCTION ACT OF MY GENERATION!!! OMG THIS SHIT IS ALL CRACK!!!

Happy Birthday Vic Lloyd!!!



This is a brief video recap of Chocago's Fashion King Vic Lloyd from the other day... It just so happened to be pretty dope.... Kinda makes me wanna move to Chicago even more

My heart melted when I saw this....



In September, Legacy Recordings released To Be Free: The Nina Simone Story, a three-cd + dvd collection spanning the legendary singer's career, from her debut on Little Girl Blue to her final recordings on A Single Woman. The dvd makes available for the first time a 1970 documentary of Simone, which is excerpted in the video above.

If you love me.. I'll be getting that documentary from you... It's only $30 on Amazon LOL

Young Jeezy "Who Dat" video



This is pretty much my favorite video on the album... Shawty Red came hard on the beat and Jeezy came super hard on the lyrics and hook... One of my personal fave songs of 2008... ATL STAND UP!!!

I may give this a shot...



If you're reading this you have probably wondered in the past "How do I break into the lucrative and stable career field of music journalism?" Well, one answer is payola directly to the Online Editor, the other is to intern. As you can see in the video above, starring our one-time intern Sam Hockley-Smith, being our slave helper has its benefits, least of which is potential employment, as Sam can tell you because he is now our Associate Online Editor. The FADER Magazine and TheFADER.com are both seeking interns for the Spring 2009 semester, so if you think you've got what it takes, please email callforinterns@thefader.com with "Spring Intern 2009" and your preference of print or web in the subject line, along with a letter of interest or resumé in the body.

CONGRATS CONSEQUENCE!!!

My boy Cons is now signed to Universal Motown... Let's pray that they promote and market him properly... Cuz dude is DEFINITELY the truth

Who knew these old guys were so funny??

In my fair city of St. Louis, MO, we call this "joaning" or "flaming" (the latter derived from the art of "roasting" someone... Typically done at a formal event delivered as a speech).... But the old school cats call it "the dozens" among others... Either way... this is funny as SHIT!! LOL
