Obey x Public Enemy

Alittle something from our friends OBEY as they colaberate with the name Public Enemy


kanye, t.i, and 50's reaction to the hottest mc's list- chulo

Possibly the three biggest MC's in the game overall spoke with MTV about MTV's latest 'Hottest MC In The Game' List. Kanye West (ranked #1), T.I (ranked #10) and 50 Cent (ranked # 8) all chimed in separately with their thoughts."They talk about the [Hottest] MC list," a Kanye West told the audience at the United Center show he was performing. "I don't know if y'all heard about this. But I brought the Grammys home for y'all. And now I brought that #1 spot home for y'all. 'Cause every time I rhyme, I rhyme for y'all. Everything I do, I do for y'all. Chi-Town in this b---h. Chi-Town on the map. Chi-Town King of rap, and Lupe got my back."West continued backstage."Ah man, that's dope. ... No, seriously ... That's really, really, super dope.



"T.I, who's legal troubles partially kept him out of the limelight this year, spoke with Ed Lover about the list."I didn't take it personally, you know," T.I told Ed Lover. "I think it had a lot to do with the fact that when they was putting the list together, I didn't have any music out. At the time when they was judging how hot people were, I was on house arrest. I ain't trippin'," Tip added. "They gonna have to do another list. Jeezy is the homie. Everybody else on the list is the homie. I tip my hat and salute everybody else who made the list. I was just with [Andre 3000] last night. He was like, 'I appreciate it. I appreciate still being acknowledged, you know.'"



50 Cent however was not as thrilled with the list."I shouldn't even be on that list," 50 said. "To be honest, I shouldn't even be categorized with them [other MCs on the list]. It doesn't even matter. Look at the people who are actually creating the list. None of them have made a hit record or [borne] the pressure of doing it."50 went on to suggest that former MC's choose the next list."Not necessarily the artists now," 50 continued. "Artists who have previously created hit records, that understand the art form. You got a bunch of people who, because they interviewed rappers, they feel that they know. Because they read XXL or The Source. They don't understand."

How To Suck At Shopping

From the Good Guys @ The Hundreds LA




Shout out the Umi in the back I see you kid.

We hate this shit at Laced Up.

TBG - Pimps in the Pulpit

I know i'M mad late but have never seen this.

You probably haven't either.

Gotta little Drake Cameo in There.

Enjoy.


TBG presents Pimps in t he Pulpit

rap - chulo/diggy

okay......before I post these lyrics that Im passionate about...
I watched the top rappers pick for the 3rd time and was pissed that ANDRE STACKS..3000...(but hollywood calls him BACK) was at number 9...

what is yo problem?

this man drops jewels for you...diamonds...perfection in a verse...and we give him nine...while arguing that soulja boy should be on the list at 10...

you've gotta be kiddin me...

so ....DIGGY and I played and read this verse and got a lil angrier...also thinking about how they said LUPE RAPS ABOUT RAINBOWS AND UNICORNS

us true to hiphop lyrical expressers would like people to understand what we are writing for them...and here's the andre verse

Styles will change. They say change is dang-erous
As a King standing on the terrace
While his partner pointing up at the riflemen
Coward shooter, never know when your life will end
Then live like there ain't no 'morrow
And if one come then this the motto
Now I put message in bottle
You go to the nearest beach and open your car door
And walk to the place where the sea meets the land
Yeah, it's easier to run the street than walk in the sand
Hey, I'm talking young man. As if chalk in my hand
I will take y'all little ass to school
It's cool when the kids call me Sunny, the hood calls me Stacks
The B's call me honey, Hollywood calls me back
Crack and I have a lot in common
We both come up in the 80's and we keep that bass pumping
That's a nega-tive comparison, embarrassing
Unfortunate that if you come up fortunate the streets consider you lame
Ha, I thought the name of the game was to have a better life. I guess it ain't. What a shame
I don't slang. Never slung but I'm one with the slum that has a name well fitting
Plenty cheese getting. No wonder why they call it the trap
So watch your tail and I'm not kidding
The rats and mice will give advice, they say, "you can paint and draw
Get out of here. Go show them that we're more than slanging raw."
That's when I broke into my Big Rube impression
And I tried to enlighten but that night I learned a lesson
That the morals that you think you got go out the window
When all the other kids are fresh and they got new Nintendo Wiis
And your child is down on her knees praying hard up to God for a whopper with cheese
Do you B) hit the street hard with a flair
Or do you A) go to school for heating and air?
Dare make an honest living or make a crooked killing
Or do a bit of both until you're holding on a million?
Brilliant. You got one foot in, one foot out
You put your left foot back in and then you shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey til you turn your life around
That's what it's all about. 3000 out

Shes So Fly (Im So High) - Grind Mode

a Moment - TV

So this morning i hit all the homies up to read this to em. And no one replied
so I decided to give this to you. A gift show love; even an anonymous lame can comment *snapping fingers* digg

"I dont talk to colors"
Said the eyes of Mr. Parker Brothers
"Get Lost!" scoffed and walked off
Stack Prop
State Prop
The image of me from afar
whether cornered or bar'd you're just flock.
Well my squad pitches on corners and bus stops
Firm.
In disbelief claiming "This here is my Block"
however hancocked w/ dead presidents
To lift plymoth rock, we pursue in dead presidents
Conclusion locked or "Pop!"..........dead residents
A suits write off, no loss it's irrelevant
Poor peasants, I invested more in stock
All monopolyst, robbin us they erase thoughts
and brainwashin us.
Bad news Dirty cop but we remain optimus(optimist)
and as my jaw dropped escapin my nigga moment
I regain consciousness
Enough to pour a poem, and stir pots
No longer shall I watch as Knowledge is powerful
Enough to not wander as dead stock.

wut'd you say? - chulo

Wanted to take the time out today to define some words that people use regularly. You may understand why I did this...you may not....but read up


SOUL - the principle of life, feeling, thought, and action in humans, regarded as a distinct entity separate from the body, and commonly held to be separable in existence from the body; the spiritual part of humans as distinct from the physical part.

HATE - to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward.


IGNORANT - lacking in knowledge or training.

SEXY -(in the way I usually like to use it) - excitingly appealing; glamorous

COOL - calmness; composure; poise

HOOD - A neighborhood, usually in the inner city.
DIDNT LIKE THIS ONE:
A hoodlum; a thug.
A rowdy or violent young person. [Short for hoodlum.]

Everybody Nose

Xx - chulo

Oh so long for this night I prayed
That a star would guide you my way
To share with me this special day
Where a ribbon's in the sky for our love

If allowed may I touch your hand
And if pleased may I once again
So that you too will understand
There's a ribbon in the sky for our love





This is not a coincidence
And far more than a lucky chance
But what is that was always meant
Is our ribbon in the sky for our love, love

We can't lose with God on our side
We'll find strength in each tear we cry
From now on it will be you and I
And our ribbon in the sky
Ribbon in the sky
A ribbon in the sky for our love

Public Service Annoucement Vol.1

Mothers day was beautiful. Kick with my Mother Sat but chilled with my future baby's mom today.All in all lovely



On another note

To think she did that to somebody Mom/Grandma
C'mon Bro fa'reeeeeeeeal??

"BRICKS"

AND if none of that happens.........

Hit yourself with it

THIS MAN is dangerous.... and has been missing for months.
If you see him please email us @ antidote253@gmail.com
The picture is old so he may look flyer than he appears in the picture. Do not let him swag near you...we dont yet know his danger potential

A Diamond In The Ruff




Whoo the HTC Diamond has to be one of the illest touch phones that I like. Me personally I hate touch phones due to the fact of my stubby ass fingers not being compatible with touch screen texting lol. This phone however using Windows Mobile 6.1, VGA Screen, quad-band HSPDA 7.2 and other iPhone-esque features. Besides those alone you can't deny the sleek look of the phone itself, and the design features on the back of the phone. Initial reports that the interface is a little slow, the bugs should be worked out by the time a release date rolls around. No word on a release date's for the state's.

" and no im not promoting the release of stress in this form "

Grey Stone


Aight, for those of you who don't know about Vans Vault, Vans Vault is a more high end and exclusive side of Vans. The quality of the product they release is amazing down to it's odd choice of material's and c/w's. Grey Stone pack is an upcoming pack that I would like to highlight on QUB. Sk8-LX, Era LX, and Slip-on LX, are what comes in the pack. All three shoes have blue cotton upper ends. They should be dropping late May.

FLYPAYPAH is BACK

Its been a while and i just wanted to bless yall with some laughs...

Public Domain x Nike SB



Nike SB is doing a Powell Peralta's Public Domain shoe. If you don't know what it is
it's a skate video from 1988. This video is a big part of skateboarding along with all
of the Bones Brigade and Powell videos. This video led to a lot of skaters careers
going big and becoming household skateboarding names. The shoe has the same
c/w the dvd case had on it located on the tongue.

Stussy Honolulu

Ghost is a very popular graffiti artist for those of you who don't know, and he has recently
finished a collaboration t-shirt with Stussy. Here's the two shirts from the whole project

W)Tap's x Gortex


Hypebeast go ahead and break your Anderson's out lol...

Anyways this is some quality streetwear right here. I think
that W) Taps always come's correct, along with Goretex....
I'm feeling this jacket that is dropping in Summer/Spring.....?
Who knows why lol, but I suppose Winter shopping can start
early.

Available at SlamJam

Peep how detailed the tiger print is

A+ In Geometry



So once again Supreme drops another random ass release.
They're these new Geometric Camp Caps from the new set
of Supreme Spring/Summer collection. I'm feeling them you
know...nice release. I tend to be more of a beanie and panel
cap type of guy so these are doing justice in the preference
field for me. They drop in three c/w's green, blue, and black.
Another rightly served release Supreme, way to go with this.

If you are interested in buying one your in luck...available
world wide at all Supreme locations.





New Huf Site


New Huf Site now open...It took a while, but its a well organized
website. So peep it out on a weekly bases for new products they
get in. They sell their own collection and a few other products from

select brands.

so I see that TOEB has updated you all on my "stay off the video game bickering" lol
honestly I was trippin that day...because a young man like him should be playing games... fresh look on the clothing tho...

In other news...my hair is matted in neat clumps that we like to call dreadlocks lol...it's amazing going through this process and I advise anyone with the character and patience to complete the task of letting them grow to do so.

I apologize to anyone reading this... I have no point...no brain this morning...so im pretty much rambling on... I just wanted to post something and be cool before anyone else on my squad... u kno..take ALL the attention.

well... off to MARS
