I just can't wait for the season opener tomorrow. Miami vs. Boston. Heres a vid of Lebron questioning himself,"What Should He Do?

Her move to NYC pushed us away from one another, It's not a bad thing it's actually the best thing in the world. She's pursuing her dreams there and I couldn't be more proud of her! Keep doing your thing out there friend! I'll always have your back no matter what happens!

Malice's Book Excerpt #1 from Malice of the Clipse on Vimeo.

Clipse as a duo might be on pause for now, but that does not mean that the Thornton Brothers are not cooking up interesting projects for the world. While his brother and partner in rhyme Pusha T signed with G.O.O.D. Music, Malice is preparing the release of his upcoming book Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked. Directed by Gene Thornton & Mark Garcia for Re-Up Gang Films, the first excerpt indicates a spiritual approach on this literary offering. Check it out above.

From Me to You...

Happy Birthday T.Hawkins Yea Yea I know I have been gone for HELLAS, don't judge me! Anywho I'm making a cameo to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to T.Hawkins. I know that it was yesterday, Oct.4, but I wanted to make sure that everyone knew it was his B-day, (whether you care or not, I DO!) He is now 22 what a blessing and a curse all in the same breath. A blessing because God has granted another year of life, a year that some don't meet. A curse because you realize that your gettin older. 22 is such a non-exisitant age. The next cool age is 25, so 22-24 are just lingering in never-never land, but what the hey! Be thankful! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY T,HAWKINS, from your friend. <3

R.Sole + Primesole Flyers= Banned...........

So a couple days back I was in the Delmar Loop in St. Louis right. I was doing my routine stop at R.Sole to see If my hommie Jazz was there and checkout some new 10Deep (10deep is my favorite streetwear brand). As I proceeded to the back of the store the manager approached me with exicitment about the Fall 10Deep apparel that had just arrived. I'm assuming he saw a sale opportunity since I had on a 5panel 10deep hat and T-Shirt. So I took a look at what he had to offer and it was some dope stuff might I add. I had no intent on buying anything that day but just wanted to see what they had in store. So after all of that I headed toward the store exit. I always noticed flyers at the front of the store and I just so happened to have some Primesole flyers in my pocket. I placed a couple there and walked out and continued my day. I arrived at Primesole the following morning and noticed my manager was on the line with R.Sole's manager. He was furious!!! This guy was basically trying to threaten the Primesole employee's by saying he would have them arrested If any of them was caught in the store again........all because of some flyers.....WOW RIGHT???....IM NOT THE FIRST ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO....LIFE CONTINUES THOUGH....
