This rightchea is finsta be EPIC.

"The "D" is silent."

Ooooooooooooooh.

During my 18 hr. excursion to NYC for Poppa Walters' bday, per the norm, I saw a host of women who could only be described as, "fresh a** muhf*ckas," walking the streets.  Wellllllll, THAT prompted me to make my way on down to thesartorialist.com to see what was (and, still is) hatnin' outchea in the wonderful world we live in, as it relates to personal style.  Look what I found!

I dig these chicks.

Jimi 3stax.

Yep, 3 Stacks will be playing Jimi in the upcoming bio-pic, "All Is by My Side."  One awesome a** artist acting like another...This sh*t has to be epic.  Photos of young Stacks in character below:

Kareem!

This is sooooooooooooo dope.  The NBA's all time leading scorer has tried his hand at being an author. But, unlike most "(insert non-author profession) turnt authors", Kareem's literary debut does not focus on himself.  Rather, he highlights the works and contributions of lesser-known African American trailblazers.  This book focuses on the inventive brothers and sisters who are responsible for the things we take for granted today.  Not to mention, my main man shouts out Dr. Charles R. Drew (Roo!).  Kudos, Kareem...Kudos.  Cop yo's, here.

I love this sh*t.

Hip hop.

I watched this WHOLE movie tonight b/c DMX's last 2 lines arbitrarily popped into my head.

Footage from Backstage feat. a doo-ragged Jay-Z, DMX and somebody's obviously Muslim security personnel.

UPDATE:  You can't tell me I'm not truly a fan of this rap sh*t. I've already watched this cypher 7 times, today.

The Beardo.

Lol. Yes, you see it. This is a real-life bearded hat.  Getcho's here.

The Gaudy Side of Town.

This sh*t is waaaaaaaaaaaaay trill and all kinds of boss playre (that's the way you spell it in Franche, lol).

But, while y'all are here, gon' learn some sh*t.

That Sh*t Cray: Vogue Edition

Sooooooooo, Vogue Italia March 2012 reads "Over the Top"...YEP.





Peep the whole spread rightchea.

This is some monumental sh*t!

The African Renaissance Monument.



Sooooooo, I will go on record as saying I am embarrassed to be both a history major and certified "black person" yet somehow, for almost 2 whole years, I remained unaware that this monument even existed.

SMH @ :*D
