Youth Pastor Gets At Jay-Z For Dissing Jesus On Empire State Of Mind!


Jay-Z said he is the master of the "double en tundra."
The youth pastor has a point...when are ya'll gonna wake up!!!

Empire State of Mind (Lyrics)

Jay-Z

Lights is blinding,
girls need blinders
so they can step out of bounds quick,
the side lines is blind with casualties,
who sip the lite casually, then gradually become worse,
don’t bite the apple Eve,
caught up in the in crowd,
now you're in-style,
and in the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out,
the city of sin is a pity on a whim.
good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them,
Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out,
everybody ride her, just like a bus route,
Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,
and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends,
came here for school, graduated to the high life,
ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight,
MDMA got you feeling like a champion,
the city never sleeps better slip you a Ambien

Lady Gaga's Bad Romance-The Occult Meaning

Lady Gaga’s videos and performance are extremely symbolic and filled with hidden messages. Her latest video, named “Bad Romance”, describes the dark and ritualistic inner-workings of the entertainment industry, by symbolically depicting Gaga as a sex slave. This article examines the occult symbols present in the video and its hidden meaning.

The video for the song Bad Romance is a mix of deep symbolism with sheer randomness, creative fashion with corporate product placements and modern day decadence with religious imagery, all rolled up in a great big music industry celebration. Gaga uses her odd-ball theatrical presence to its full extent, to shock, creep-out and fascinate the viewers. If you’ve read my other articles on Lady Gaga (see Lady Gaga, The Illuminati Puppet pt 1 and pt 2), you’ll already be aware of the occult symbols permeating her imagery. I’ve mentioned the presence of mind control elements, of the horned god Baphomet, of secret societies and so on. Far from steering away from those themes, Gaga’s latest offering incorporates all of them in this video, which is a great big metaphor for the music industry. Let’s look at the song. Youtube Link

LOVE always seems to find it's way home...


I was at the work spot today when I met Ryan McCann. Ryan and family were enjoying Brunch, while Ryan made the table cover a canvas. It was funny because as I made my rounds to different tables the drawing went from a head to eyes, to the words love carved into the chest of his art piece. I told him "I'm going to take a picture of that." I didn't tell him I was going to name his art piece. I think the title fits. "Love always seems to find it's way home."

NEW MUSIC: The OH S​#​!​T Project (Mixtape)

Click to download underneath!
http://rospit.bandcamp.com/
One of the most coveted independent albums to come out of Michigan in 2009, Ro Spit drops his first solo project on November 10. Known for the fly guy emcee style, Ro Spit has chosen to take the path less travelled by labeling his “Oh S#!t Project” as more than a mixtape, but not quite an album. The project features the likes of hip hop greats like Bun B, Curtains, Marvwon, Big Sean, Monica Blaire and Stretch Money. Sponsored by Acapulco Gold and Burn Rubber, the tracks on the project prove to be just as fresh.

Ro Spit "LEVI DENIM" SINGLE!!!



Love this song. THE "OH S#!T PROJECT"presented by BURN RUBBER & ACAPULCO GOLD coming NOVEMBER 10th. I need ALL the blogs that support good, fly music to post this ASAP. Thank you and you're welcome.

"On the heels of Jay-z shouting out his fashion collection, Burn Rubber, Detroit's fashion icon Ro Spit releases the lead single off his highly lauded The OH S#!T Project entitled "Levi Denim". The project is due to release on Tuesday, November 10th. The project is sponsored by Acapulco Gold and Burn Rubber. This track is produced by Nino The Pelican. Notable project features include Bun B, Monica Blaire, Curtains, Marvwon, and Stretch Money.

The song is certainly an ode to the iconic denim brand, Levi. As a fashion enthusiast Ro belts out numbers that refer to different fits and cuts of the denim such as 501 or 505. However if you listen closer there are mentions of exclusive, limited, and even foreign references to the omnipresent brand. Ro mentions "...watermelon cuff, Clot, times symbol Medicom"; pointing out the collaboration between Levi, Clot the Hong Kong brand, and Medicom the toy maker that retailed for about $470. Then of course there is the reference to Mastermind JAPAN and Fenom, an intensely stalked collaboration; Ro boasts "When I got em on i feel like im a phenom (Fenom)...my pockets deeper than my thoughts and im a Mastermind". And to further prove Ro keeps up with the brand he even mentions fall 09 Luker by Neighborhood collaboration with Levi, I won't spoil that line, I'll let you fish it out.

From every angle this song is meticulously crafted and contains many layers, some for the casual fan, and all for the Levi aficionado. Please enjoy the song and take a moment to share with your audience. Below are three links, two pictures to select from to post along with the song."

Beanie Sigel Interview.

Source Confirms Charlamagne Fired Over Beanie Sigel Interview

Drama over at 100.3 in Philly! Yesterday, Charlamagne Tha God (Wendy Williams‘ outspoken former sidekick who got his own show) Tweeted about getting fired from the station. He (and everybody else) speculated that it had something to do with that drama filled Beanie Sigel interview a few days ago where Beans fired shots at Jay-Z. And it looks like Jay is indeed the new Diddy (remember when he got Wendy fired for saying he was gay?). The folks over at Media Outrage chatted with a station employee who confirms:

These are Sweeettt!!!

RO SPIT X BURN RUBBER SNAP BACK PREVIEW


Finish this sentence: You're know you're a big deal when...

Anybody?? Bueller???

Well, if you finished that sentence with anything around "you get a hat with your own name and logo on it" then yes, you got it right. To commemorate the release of "THE OH SH*T PROJECT", Ro Spit will be releasing a snapback hat exclusively at Burn Rubber (duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh). This will be releasing soon, so be on the lookout #internetzgocrazy

Gucci Icon Pop Up Shop Party


goodie bag x Mark Ronson custom Record

Niche, boutique labels and designers have a big place in our hearts , however we also love to look at the mega luxury brands and see how they are able to use their might and icon status to generate a buzz. Just like the interlocking C’s its virtually impossible to look at red and green and not think of Gucci. At least in our branding obsessed minds that is the case. We were happy to see that the label was able to smartly use their logo/colors to launch their sneaker pop up shop last week.

On the next page check out what caught our eyes at the party Gucci hosted at the Bowery, including the only chicks with kicks Ann Dexter Jones(via wire) who stylishly rocked Gucci Sneakers with a suit! View the collection here.
