Fashion and Design

I'm going to kick things off with some Fashion posts - - new kicks, new clothes, etc. - I just added one of my favorite clothing companies under "Culture" - they go by Akomplice (straight outta CO), but this post is going to share some dope Nikes I've just spotted. Also, I'm gonna start adding more design related posts - architecture, sketching, etc. Hope you enjoy!

Michael DiTullo - iSomething

"Kids, please try this at home. In this episode, Michael DiTullo and Rocko the Ruler sketch up an iSomething-or-Other in about 5 minutes. Check out how Michael gets multiple tones out of the same marker by varying pressure. Also notice how he starts with the overall form and then overlays layers of detail. The selected perspective is dynamic, but not at the expense of communicating the design. Remember, sketching is a communication tool, and practice makes perfect."

The Game + Lil' Wayne = My Life

This is really nice. Good vibin' music... good verses - I'm really feelin' it. Hip Hop is coming back people. Maybe Wayne will just stay doing hooks and quit droppin full vocoder verses.

Best Rapper Alive

I decided to give Vibe Magazines "Best Rapper Alive" bracket a try. The results.... well you can see them below. Jada came out on top as BSL Designs' Best Rapper Alive.... with ???? all around it - - I'm not really feelin' the bracket's set up - sure I'm not a hip-hop guru but I am a big listener - - I would never do a bracket style tourney... round robin maybe? And Soulja Boy made the tourney - WTF? The more important things to note on my bracket are the Top 11 - denoted with Boxes around their names - - and don't forget those who didn't make the list including Asher Roth who is a crazy up-and-comer who I featured recently and will be featuring again in the future. Jump-off Joe Budden, Bun B, Andre 3000 and Big Boi all get honorable mention votes for the Top 11 but didn't really have the full package I was lookin for.

Let me know who you choose! A blank bracket is below or you can vote online at Vibe's website.
