Le Bien Ne Fait Pas De Bruit ...

Kwame arrives just in time with a new album on the french Rap scene , when things were turning to fat booties videos competition .

This 30 years old rookie has gained popularity these last weeks in the Sneakers.fr community , sharing his secret passion for hip hop . This lyricist and producer has spent two years in the United States learning the game from underground dogs , and after several years of work he has succeeded to define his own style .



Known as Feross , KWAME is now, his brand new artist name , to pay homage to kwame n'krumah, a panafricanist hero and a great scientist . Until now he has lived from his passion through different jobs : journalist in RADIKAL ( french hiphop magazine ) , promoter & artist booker ( J live, Cannibal Ox... ) , or seller in SOUND RECORDS (the dopest vinyl shop in Paris).

Now focused on his music, he's helped by the dopest producers in the US underground scene such as Oddisee (HAlftooth Records) , Roddy rod (MAspyke), D from Helium Music and Kenwood (A Touch Of Jazz ). Motivated to rise the level of the french hiphop scene , Kwame decided to work with the best by traveling back and fourth between paris and nyc .

The result is pretty cool , full of flavours , something between DJ Premier and J.Dilla ... Album coming in April ! He's also working on a mixtape "DETROIT (D3) CONCEPT" with his partners Vestat and Gea , in order to put the Detroit Sound at the forefront in France . Listen y'all !

The Lake Show is back ... after 7 consecutive losses during the previous weeks , Kobe has decided to lift the whole team on his shoulders , taking the best of his teamates to win 3 consecutive games , scoring 65 , 50 and 60 points tonight .

Next games will be played against New Orleans , Golden State , Memphis again and Houston . As for the end of the season , Phoenix & Denver will be the only real contenders on their path . All that seems full of promises for the players of La-la Land and for their fans .



We probably can think Kobe will be more than considered for the title of Most Valuale Player , and I personally hope that Nash won't be named for his third title . I honestly admire his game , but damn with no championships rings and not a single finals game played in his career , he doesn't deserve that honor . I admit I can't forget the 2 or 3 MVP titles that were stolen from Michael Jordan , for the glorification of the great NBA by David Stern , and that MJ never won 3 straight MVP titles . At least give it to Nowitzness .

Kobe with four 60 points-games in his career has reached that jordanesque superstar level , leaving only Wilt Chamberlain ahead of him . This performance remains totally freakin' extraordinary ...

Plan B ...

... it's what is obvioulsy waiting for us . Plan A thought by americans for the rest of the world at the end of WWII , was a beautiful dream until 1989 . The idea of living all , together and free , sharing the benefits of modenity has not resisted the vice of capitalism that was sold with it . Indeed the eternal pusuit of oil , stone and gold has become a top priority for some , with depend on the others , whether they are living in america or not .



Plan 59 , is a website that shows an interesting collection of mid-century illustration , that reminds the values of hard work , family , importance of energy and basic products ... of the 50's , values that were used for adverts but also for propaganda .






Make your own opinion , or at least appreciate the sense of style of that time :

" Scheme , an online magazine that will serve as a catalyst to educate , inspire , and assist current and future hip-hop communities on the path towards self identity , open mindedness and CRITICAL thought regarding social , economic , and political happenings that have historically taken place and are currently on-going . This webzine will contain a nucleus of handpicked talented writers who will give context and comprehension to those internal and external aforementioned aspects of today’s and future hip-hop communities . Using platforms consisting of interviews , podcasts , editorials , and artistic expression , Scheme will be the hip-hop medium that is formed at the intersection of conscious influential media , i.e. National Public Radio (NPR) meets allhiphop.com . "

At least they know where they're going ... Cool website by some Dilla Fanatics .

The Wall ...

|




When a wall is falling there is another one in the making ... a reality that some are forced to accept against their will .

That rising separation between Israelis and Palestinians has become a strong symbol in this post-9/11 era , a new sign of mankind stupidity , a symbol that most would like to see disappear .



The day this wall will fall is sadly not close , but positive actions in the seek of peace have already begun . Thus JR & Marco , have decided to release the Face2Face project . The goal is to put Israelis and Palestinians face to face , and bring the discussion back instead of ignorance . Funny portraits of both communities were made , and exposed on both sides of the wall , so each could smile and take the time to realize that the differences betweens Jews and Muslims are smaller than respective politics heads are claiming .

I invite you to check their website Face2Face Project and appreciate the pics from Ramallah Bethlehem or Jericho . Thanks to Guillotine for spreading the info .


While we are on the subject , look at Banksy's art work: Wall Graffiti



Peace y'all

Ride Or Die ...

Another post on bikes ... yeah I know , what's up with that , why am I messing with that again ... I have to admit that my interest is kinda related to memories from my childhood . Back then , it was the easiest way for me to move from point A to point B ... clearly it was freedom .

I was not aware of that at that time , thinking car would be the ultimate way to move , ignoring all the negatives aspects attached to it . Since I have understood various things and I am more and more considering bike as THE answer . Thus let's talk about the latest thing happening on 2 wheels .... Brooklyn Machine Works
BMW is a bike company located in NYC , that has just collaborated with Supreme . The result is a sure shot ... a cool red bike marked with the Supreme logo ... a good way to promote BMW , which shares have recently been bought by Pharell himself , if we listen to the latest rumors . Supreme , in the mean time has released some bike chains ... more than needed in any city on this planet . So if you want to ride hype , go Supreme !

I have personally chosen to ride low on my stretch limo ( pics coming soon) , but that's cool cause more than ever you have the choice of weapons ... track bikes , BMX , cruisers , choppers ... get yours and let's ride .

I remember Niketalk early days when there were less members and more talk . I was checking the forum every night to see who was saying what , then trying to share my personal opinion ... and a lot of members from the LA area were refering to Corgishoe as the owner of one of the most amazing collections they've seen . The Hundreds already did a feature on him and his 2,100 sneakers collection , that you can check below :

Corgishoe by The Hundreds Part.1

Since , the man has spent several months in New York Federal Prison , filling him with a good dose of anger toward this world . Still he has succeeded to find a job with his friends from The Hundreds , which is not always the case for people that get out of jail . They have made a second interview of their co-worker , that still claims his love for sneakers , but seems to have a more critical point of view of what's going on right now , fashion-wise on the sneakers'scene . Very interesting . Peep this kids :

The FRESHJIVE brand is one of the most recognized streetwear brands , thanks to appreciated collections this last year . At the opposite of other brands , FreshJive is in the landscape since a long time and has suffered during a long time a lack of identity , remaining in the shadow of Stussy and Supreme for example . I am not sure the problem is solved yet , cause in my opinion they are taking advantage of the streetwear thing happening right now . Whatever check their website to make your own opinion ... www.freshjive.com or check the only thing stamped freshjive that succeeded to catch my eye ( pic on top )
