A couple of weeks ago our friends at NiceKicks gave sneakers fiends a sneak peek at an upcoming package Jordan Brand was releasing that took inspiration from A Tribe Called Quest’s album cover for Midnight Marauders. The “Sole to Sole” Jordan package is set to drop next month. Rumors are floating for a 2/14 drop date, and with the release of a number of other Jordans, this is sure to make it one of the most expensive days in the history of being as sneakerhead - that includes those staying at home playing video games that night. These shoes are retailing for 110.00.

A little while back a pair of Air Feezy’s created a bit of buzz at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors show, but for all the wrong reasons. Over the weekend Kanye West was in Miami for a video shoot for DJ Khaled’s “Go Hard” featuring Mr. Yeezy and T-Pain. Mr. West came through wearing the Nike Air Yeezy and thanks to our people at Mi Gente Clothing, we have some of the best pics of the Yeezys to date.
Many have wondered how the Yeezy actually looks on since we have mostly seen sneak peeks of someone holding them in their hand, but after the jump we have video footage of Kanye rocking the Yeezys on the set of video shoot. You decide for yourself, can you see yourself wearing these now?

Nas’s career has seen more ups and downs then a geek’s index finger. So with his new album finally in stores expectations are high to see if the controversial LP would be able to withstand the pressure from fans and media.
Being no stranger to controversy, ever his feature on “Live at the BBQ” Nas has been deflecting negative media attention since the days of Illmatic, but even Nas wasn’t able to hold out when he received a call from the government about his latest LP originally titled “Nigger”. Now untitled, the message is still clear measuring out to be one of Nas’s most influential creations to date.
“Queens get the money” sets the tone of the album early; his delivery over Jay Electonica’s provided piano loop starts the montage with Nas demanding attention. He continues over “Can’t stop us now” produced by Salaam Remi taking shots American patriotism, and exhales about Americas tribulations on “Breath” in a way only Nas can.
Tracks like “Hero” featuring Keri Hilson and “Make the world go round” featuring Chris Brown and The Game are obvious commercial reaches. Making a small leak on the albums overall flow, despite the chemistry lyrically between The Game and Nas.
Falling off course with “America” another high powered synth track. Nas finds his course again over tracks like “Testify”, and “Sly fox” that aims at Fox News and their lack of morals. “Project roach” is one of the albums more creative track, where Nas is rapping from a roaches prospective. “Fried chicken” featuring Busta Rhymes has both MC’s spewing stereotypes.
“N.I.*.*.E.R (The slave and the master)” is a look at African-American struggles in America; its powerful lyrics make it one of the stronger songs of the album. While tracks like “Y’all my niggas” and “We’re not alone” takes the time to show how Nas has evolved lyrically and mentally as a man.
What the album lacks in production is compensated with Nas’s thought provoking lyrics, Overall he’s created a solid body of work that not only entertains but challenges the listeners mind. Living up to the hype created by fans and media alike, showing Esco never folds under pressure.
