Rev. Parsley

2008-07-21T06:02:00.000-07:00

You may have heard of Rev. John Hagee, the McCain supporter who said God created Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for its homosexual "sins." Well now meet Rev. Rod Parsley, the televangelist megachurch pastor from Ohio who hates Islam. According to David Corn of Mother Jones, Parsley has called on Christians to wage war against Islam, which he considers to be a "false religion." In the past, Parsley has also railed against the separation of church and state, homosexuals, and abortion rights, comparing Planned Parenthood to Nazis.

John McCain actively sought and received Parsley's endorsement in the presidential race. McCain has called Parsley "a spiritual guide," and he hasn't said whether he shares Parsley's vicious anti-Islam views. That's because the mainstream media refuses to ask. And so, we've taken matters into our own hands, joining Mother Jones to present the truth about McCain's pastor.

Since the media won't question McCain about his deeply bigoted pastor, it's up to you to call attention to this issue. Make McCain's pastor problem a major story by forwarding this video to your family, friends, and colleagues.

We can't let McCain get away with aligning himself with a religious leader who's called for an all-out war on Islam, someone who draws no distinctions between Muslims and violent Islamic extremists. Now is the crucial time to act.

Well here's a clever, highly customizable design by Hector Serrano, the Clothes Hanger Lamp features a simple concept: you supply the shade, which takes the form of any clothing you desire. The lamp features an acrylic frame into which a flourescent bulb (included) is inserted, and finished with your choice of 'shade' that can be changed as often as you like. Light-colored shirts are recommended for the best lighting effect.

UK Cops get Gully!

2008-07-16T04:27:00.001-07:00

While exiting a train Bournemouth [UK] station recently, Rapper Nzube Udezue, 21, a University of Oxford graduate, was ordered to lie face-down and was handcuffed by armed police. In this case of this mistaken identity, the police surrounded him and treated him like a high level threat. In his words:

“It took me a couple of seconds to realise that it was me that all those guns were aimed at. “I honestly felt like I’d stepped off the train and into a really bad dream.

“I’m shocked, confused, scared and embarrassed all at the same time.”Most of the bystanders had vacated the platform by now, by police order.

“And I’m not talking about normal police either. This is the Specialist Firearms Unit, about eight of them, machine guns, bullet proof vests, police dogs and all. “And they’re here to arrest me!”

Allegedly, Udezue was told that he was being arrested on suspicion of a “section one firearms incident”. He’s lucky to be alive. If that same shyte went down here in the good ole U.S. of A., those pigs would’ve shot him down before he even got his foot on the damn platform. SMH.

Nation of Whiners!?

2008-07-16T04:20:00.000-07:00

John McCain’s campaign co-chairman and long time friend expressed his views about Americans recently:

Texan Phil Gramm [said] that much of Americans’ economic pain and uncertainty is psychosomatic [during] an interview with the conservative Washington Times. “You’ve heard of mental depression. This is a mental recession,” he told the paper. “We have sort of become a nation of whiners. … You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline.”

Dig Obama’s response to that garbage:

“I guess what he meant was, it’s a figment of your imagination, these high gas prices,” Barack Obama told supporters in Fairfax, Va. “America already has one Dr. Phil. We don’t need another one when it comes to the economy.”

Naturally, McCain was quick to distance himself from that statement, although we’re sure he shares the same views. These Republicans are so out of touch with reality, and Obama was quick to call them on that shyte.

Casa en Calamuchita / Calamuchita House

2008-07-14T17:45:00.000-07:00

The house is a transparent glass pavilion with the North - South axis parallel to the valley like a cultural reference to the natural fact. The glass box, between four stones that enclose the services, is a space fluid in its unitary interior sometimes dining sometimes an additional sleeping area. For climatic reasons of cold winters and fresh nights, and the altitude of the place, the glass box this surrounded in a wood box. This box of sliding shutters allows small or large openings providing variable dimensions and sensations of privacy or openness.

This unit completes and complements with a tower of study, bedrooms and viewing platform, that alludes to the vertical axis of the mountain. A glass enclosed stairwell spirals around the outside of the building, allowing all 4 aspects of the surroundings to be taken in as one passes from level to level. At the top you arrive at the terrace viewpoint that allows, like in each level, extended lines of vision towards the Valley. By day the living area, surrounded by the service blocks, mimics the valley, at night the tower recreates the mountain. At night I escape to the safety of the mountain tower, returning at dawn to the living area and valley.

The wall's owner shot it down, but the original working title was gonna be "My Setback's Kapitalism". An ode to the endless barrage of T-shirts, posters, coffee mugs, etc that have now become synonymous with Che Guevara. Pretty fresh considering the very system that was the focus of Guevara's most inspired protests would go on to co-opt his vision, strip it of all ideological or political connotations, and repackage it on frisbees.

Pay homage to the "Father of Graffiti"

2008-07-09T07:23:00.001-07:00

Have you ever heard of Joseph Kyselak? No?

That is not too surprising. Even though the Austria-born magistrate is perceived nowadays as the ancestor of modern day graffiti. Kyselak was born in Vienna on December 23rd, 1799. His perspectives weren't too bad for a man of his time. His Family was fairly rich and he was able to go to University. Anyway Kyselak obviously was far from too much career-orientated.

Sometime in the early 1820s, Kyselak made a bet with a couple of friends in Vienna. He bet that his name would be known all over the Austria-Hungarian Empire within 3 years (a vast piece of land at that time) without inventing a new kind of suicide (in fact, the people from Vienna were obviously well known for commiting suicide in very unorthodox ways).

What he invented instead was nothing less than modern-day "tagging". Kyselak travelled all over Central Europe in 1825 leaving his name in bright red and black at each and every exposed place he could find. The tag "Kyselak" could soon be found everywhere. He painted it on churches and castles, rocks and trees, bridges and obelisks. And in fact, within a year even his betting partners had to admit that Kyselak had indeed become very well known all over Austria and that he has won the bet.

But Kyselak could not stop. He started tagging buildings as soon as they were opened to the public. He was even asked by the police not to paint his name to a new Bridge over the Danube until the public opening ceremony was over. Kyselak agreed and waited one more week until his well known signature could be found painted on the bridge.

Kyselak can be seen as the father of modern-day tagging since he did not do anything but paint his name on a wall. He did not create pictures or symbols, his nickname was enough. As in modern-day graffiti viewers don't necessarily know what a tag means. It is just a name without an additional information. And that, indeed, makes Kyselak an ancestor to nowaday's street culture.

To make a long story short: Kyselak only became 31 years old. He obviously became fed up with this life and when the Cholera broke out in Vienna in 1831, Kyselak refused to leave the City. As it is a good way to get infected with Cholera bacteria he decided to eat loads and loads of unwashed plums and finally died of Cholera on September 17th, 1831. Eventually he did not only invent tagging, but also a weird new way to commit suicide.

SBTG x LAZY Paramount Dunk

2008-06-16T12:45:00.001-07:00

The SBTG x Lazy Paramount Dunk is a 1 of 1 Custom collaboration, which turned out very impressive and will be used for the final model.

Using selvage denim was always mandatory for a customade sneaker and hunting a specific "gucci" selvage with black denim was like a dream come true.

Selvage is desirable because the edge can’t fray like lower grade denims that have separate wefts which leave an open edge that must be stitched. In this case, the selvage sits perfectly on the top of the midsoles like its supposed to be aesthetically. Seeing the denim fray on the midsole is simply blasphemous.

The beauty of it all is that an exposed selvage lining on the midsole can only be achieved through a D.I.Y. process due to the nature of the denim and the sneaker panel curves. It is a very tedious process.

Maintaining an understated look by leaving all the uppers black. leaving the focus on the midsole area which forms a perfect layer cake "green, red, green, off white, black stitching & lastly, gumsoles.

Lastly, a black snakeskin swoosh. The final model will also be coming with Starks Laces and of course with the input of Lazy. Expect it to be soon released at Royalefam.

Harold Hunter Day II Product | T-Shirt & Deck

2008-06-13T13:54:00.003-07:00

On May 17th the 2nd Annual Harold Hunter Day brought together NYC’s skateboarding community for a positive day of shredding in honor of the late, great Harold Hunter.

More than five-hundred skaters and spectators swarmed the Manhattan Bridge Skatepark for a heated six-hour session with beats provided by New York’s finest, Pete Rock. Afterward, the masses flocked to KCDC Skateshop where, in true Harold form, the party bumped late into the night.

In celebration of this noteworthy occasion and to keep Harold’s spirit strong, the non-profit Harold Hunter Foundation has teamed up with The Zoo York Institute to release a limited edition HH Day II commemorative deck and t-shirt featuring Harold pics by long-time friend and acclaimed photographer, Giovanni Reda.

Both items are now available only at select New York shops including Rival, Autumn, Everything Must Go, Richmond Hood Company, Blades, DQM, and Homage. Additionally, a special bundled kit including a deck, t-shirt and signed copy of Reda’s “Harold Hunter: The Book” is available exclusively at KCDC. Proceeds from the sale of all HH Day II commemorative gear will be donated to the Harold Hunter Foundation which will use the funds to send six underprivileged NYC kids to Camp Woodward this summer.

From the quirky Dreamcast favorite Jet Grind Radio to Marc Ecko’s Getting Up, the ability to write graffiti seems to keep popping up in video games. Things could be getting a lot more precise with the invention of WiiSpray, a virtual aerosol paint can prototype that was developed by German student Martin Lihs for his final thesis at Bauhaus University.

According to an article in the May 08 issue of De:Bug Magazine, the can plugs into your Wii controller and simulates real life spraying with different caps and colors. With an internet connection, it may even give you the ability to collaborate on a piece with someone across the globe. No word yet on the commercial production, but these types of custom controller add-ons seem like they might be the future. Check out a few more pictures below.

Obey x Obama campaign poster buffed...and buffed again

2008-06-12T12:09:00.000-07:00

If you live in one of Americas hot spots then your probably familiar with Shepard Fairey's (Obey) Obama campaign posters seen above.

Street artist Shepard Fairey was in New York last week and hit the streets, pasting up an Obama poster on the corner of Houston and Bowery, among other spots. Unfortunately, he sacrilegiously pasted right over the work of graffiti writer MARTY, who has been holding down that corner for years. We expected he would take it back, but were surprised he’d do it in broad daylight. An LES native caught some photos as MARTY of Smart Crew painted a fill-in over the Obama poster on Saturday afternoon, cleverly using orange paint to match the new Keith Haring mural next to it. Reached for comment by email, Shepard was apologetic for pasting over MARTY, saying, “I don’t like to go over people ever, however, I feel Obama being elected is very important to everyone’s future including MARTY’s. It was not intended to be disrespectful of him, but if he chooses to be that small minded and petty about it I can’t control that. I certainly would expect him to justly re-claim the spot after the election.”

Oddly enough, just a few hours after MARTY finished painting, a trio of Obama-loving graffiti-haters was cleaning off the poster that they mistakenly believed was legal. Who was this pro-Obama buff squad? Shepard doesn’t know, but guesses that, “people [just] feel strongly about Obama.” Obama is certainly hoping people feel strongly in support during the West Virginia primary today.

Below are some photos of MARTY in action, and the the pro-Obama buff squad at work.

Here's a pic of the "Obama loving graffiti-haters" after buffing the freshly painted piece from Marty.

Paid Dues review/rant

2008-06-11T07:03:00.000-07:00

On Saturday the 7th I attended the "Paid Dues" tour. I was really excited to finally see Rakim live in concert, I get to the venue only to find out he couldn't make it. Everyone I was rolling with was pissed but I knew there were some other acts I wanted to see. They refunded everyone $5 and I caught the show on the second act, it was "Soliloquists of Sound". It was a quartet 2 female singers/floacists, the MC and the DJ/Producer. The DJ was INSANE dude had so much energy and was very sick on the MPC, dude even played a solo with his nose!! Murs came out to host the whole event. The next act up was Kidz in the Hall they did a good job as well and played alot of tracks from "The In Crowd".Supernatural and Scrath went up next, they did some organic hip-hop, Scratch looped his own beatbox and Supernat just blacked out on everything. Next up was Buckshot, this is my 2nd time seeing him live in Miami. His set was DOPE he brought out 1/2 of Smiff -n- Wessun and went through some old and new stuff. I have heard of Blackalicious before but OMG these dudes sucked MAJOR ass, it seemed like their set would never end. It was one lame song after another a few people in the audience started to boo them (me included). Last but not least was Little Brother!!! I always been a big fan since "The Listening" so I was ready for something epic. They hit the stage and immediately had the crowd amped they did tracks froma variety of albums and mixtapes and Phonte could be a comedian dude is a fool lol! I really enjoyed the concert but on a side note....When you have some sort of celebrity and you are out of state on a show and a fan comes to give you dap becuase they enjoy your music and the fact that you mention that fans neighborhood/High School in alot of your rhymes don't brush them off like they are a groupie and/or on your dick. Atleast acknowledge them because without fans who would come to your show? If you all are wondering who I am talking about it is no other than Naledge from Kidz in the Hall. Next time try being humble because if I didn't like your music, I would be liable to spark you. (You know how we do in the Chi!!)

Nike McFly 2015 VS. Reebok Alien Stomper

2008-06-10T08:42:00.001-07:00

honeyee.com launched a very interesting project last week. These 2 “virtual” sneakers: so-called Alien Stomper by Reebok, which was wore by the crew of Nostromo in the movie Alien. The other would be McFly 2015 by Nike, the one fashioned by Michael J. Fox’s character as he coasted through air on his Barbie hover board in Back to the Future 2.
It is only a few hours into the start of the survey and already McFly 2015 is in the lead by 79%. And if the previous survey was any indication, McFly 2015 might come out on top by day’s end.

Fox News is the DEVIL!

2008-06-09T07:31:00.000-07:00

In an appalling gaffe Sunday, journalist Liz Trotta made a distasteful joke and lumped presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama in with United States enemy Osama Bin Laden, saying she wished them both dead.

Trotta was discussing Obama opponent Hillary Clinton's citing of the RFK assassination during the 1968 Democratic primary contest as a reason for her staying in the race.

"And now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama, um uh, Obama - well, both if we could." she said laughing. The hosted merely joined in the joke with her, saying "talk about how you really feel," and quickly moved on.

Trotta later apologized with a 20-second afterthought during another Fox News program. A petition to have Liz Trotta fired is circulating via the Care2 Web site.

Lightpieces

2008-06-05T12:20:00.001-07:00

Lightpieces by SAAZS feature the first active light-emitting glass, co-developed with Saint-Gobian Innovations, that uses Planilum technology. No light bulb, or other light source, is needed, as the light comes from the material. The intensity is evenly distributed over the whole surface, so the light is always soothing, never shocking. The material can be touched, as the temperature is near that of the human body. This new technology allows light to be part of structure. Included in the SAAZS collection are pieces by Arik Levy, Tomas Erel, Adrien Gardere and Christian Blecher.

Tokujin Yoshioka

2008-06-05T12:07:00.000-07:00

"Chair that disappears in the rain"

Tokujin Yoshioka has been experimenting with glass in his work since 2002. over the years he has developed new glass products and refined his techniques. He produced his first glass project in 2003 in the form of ‘Chair that disappears in the rain’. in 2006 he developed a bar design using the same glass material. He presented a glass chair at his ‘tornado’ exhibit in Miami and also designed a stool combining glass and wood in 2007. The new stool from 2007 has just been put into production, and is the latest piece in the ongoing series. This special glass material allows yoshioka to make forms that blend into their surroundings while producing unique optical aesthetics. In tokyo this fall, Tokujin will be the artistic director of an exhibition where he will unveil a new chair design. here’s hoping it’s the next evolution in his glass experiments.

Rockport "Bridgeport" Boatshoes

2008-06-03T01:49:00.000-07:00

When I was a shorty all the way up until highscool Rockports have always been a backpacker staple (along with Saucony and New Balance). Common used to rock the illest rockports back in the day when I saw him around Hyde Park, seems like they coming with some new fresh shit! I always wanted a pair of boatshoes and these may be my first pair.The Rockport "Bridgeport" is part of the "Established 71" collection of the brand. This collection is luxury-inspired and merges authentic versatile style with advanced technology. They come in premium leather, they will release more styles later on (patent leather, checkered etc..) Ironically these are named after a notorious Italian hood in Chicago!!

This lady goes on a tirade and calls Barack an "Inadequate black man" and spazzes out on the people filming it. Sounds like a Jewish lady (she probably still thinks Barack is Islamic [who cares!?]). I'm glad most of these racist are nearing death, time for a new generation, a united generation!!

They got Buket!!!!

2008-05-31T21:50:00.000-07:00

Evidence of Dilated Peoples is speaking out against The Los Angeles Times, who recently ran a cover story about the arrest of a notorious Los Angeles graffiti artist, but mistakenly ran a picture of the rapper/producer on the front page.
Police arrested Cyrus “Buket” Yazdani on felony vandalism charges for his daring works of graffiti, including one highly publicized videotaped incident, in which Yazdani is seen spray painting on a Hollywood Freeway overpass.
The mishap occurred after Evidence, born Michael Perretta, who was approached by Yazdani to do a drop [a short promotional word on film] for a clip titled “War 4.”
Since his arrest and the article, Evidence’s image has been featured regularly on television stations like CBS 9, ABC 7, KTLA 5, NBC 4 and other news outlets.

“I only met Buket once when I was asked to do a promo for an internet show, however I’m obviously not him and find it humorous how the media didn't take the time to figure this out before running such an extensive story," Evidence told AllHipHop.com in a statement.
Evidence, who is preparing to tour nationwide on the “Fresh Rhymes & Videotape Tour,” is seeking a full retraction from the various outlets who have mistakenly ran his image and associated him with the criminal acts of Yazdani.

“In my line of work anytime someone asks me for a recorded or live video promo I’m always glad to do it,“ Evidence said. “I have co-signed thousands of Internet, Radio and TV shows as well as various other forms of media. This could have happened to any entertainer, not just me.”
Police accuse Yazdani of spray painting hundreds of freeway overpasses, walls and buses, including one infamous incident in which he tagged a moving bus in front of stunned onlookers.

He is charged with causing over $150,000 dollars in damage.

Yazdani was booked into the Los Angeles County jail and faces multiple felony vandalism charges.

Glow in the Dark Tour review!

2008-05-17T18:29:00.000-07:00

As soon as I saw the poster for this tour I was ready for something epic. I was so excited I actually joined Kanyes' fanclub to get a chance at presell tickets. Once they went on sell I snatched up a pretty nice seat. The event was held at American Airlines Arena (Where the Miami Heat play).

Lupe
The first act up was Lupe, I've always been a fan of Lupe since his mixtape grind. He kicked the set off with "Hip-Hop Saved my Life" very dope song and got the crowd hype real quick. I didn't like that fact that the stadium wasn't at full capacity for Lu and that his set was VERY short. He brought out Matthew Santos for a few tracks (one of my favorites "Fighters") that guy is crazy dope live!

N.E.R.D
N.E.R.D was up next I am a BIG fan of Neptunes/N.E.R.D/Star Trak, they came out with a full live band (with two sick drummers!). They did some joints off of "In Search of.." and a couple off of "Fly or Die". The song that REALLY stood out was "Spaz" you probably have heard a snippet on the new Zune commercials. When they went into that song the whole place erupted, I instantly knew that song is going to be a hit. During "Spaz" Chris Brown and Teyana Taylor (new Star Trak artist) came out and danced on stage and Fam-Lay did back-up. They also did "Everyone Nose" which has already become a favorite of mine.

Rhianna
I'm not a Rhianna fan at all so I took the opprotunity to go out and have a few drinks and smoke a little, I could hear her set from the patio of the stadium it sounded decent.

Kanye
It took a good while for them to set up Ye's stage but once they did you knew you were in store for something special. The set had a futuristic look to it complete with a digital backdrop that changed scenery. He started off with "Good Morning" and it was very ethereal with him floating through space laying down flowing. Once he got up the spaceship he was in started to talk to him about ship damage from a asteroid field. Once he crash lands he goes into "I Wonder" and "Through the Wire" once he got the ship fixed and ready to take off it went into "Champion". The ship fails to sustain power and goes back down to the planet he crashed on, he starts doing his verse from "Get em' High". Some funny alien prop flies down and tells him to get home he will need the power of the brightest star this triggers "Flashing Lights". Once he is airborne he talks to his ship about how long it will take to get home he says "I haven't had a women in awhile" so his spaceship tries to cheer him up by displaying a bikini-clad holographic woman that looked like she was made out of gold he goes into "Gold Digger". Other songs include "Diamonds from Sierra Leone", "Touch the Sky" which he brought lupe out for, "Spaceship", "Can't Tell me Nothing" and a tribute to his mother that had everyone in the house misty-eyed.

All in all I have to say Kanye truly set a new standard for Hip-Hop concerts, peep Diddy response.
