BMW M1 Concept. Niiice. :]

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

Still on the fence about things like this, but I’m figuring it out as I go. Certain people say that conscious rappers can’t really be into material things, but THIS rapper tends to disagree, ESPECIALLY when we’re talking concept cars.

Nike Air Yeezy. In Black.

I don’t know how comfortable I am yet with posting other people’s business, as I feel that I’m dickriding promoting projects that I have nothing to do with, but dope is dope. Besides, I’m a design fiend, and a real sucker for perforated leather.

Part Jordan IX, part Lebron 2 and some Ato all fused into one.

I Love Shameless Promotion.

Here’s a blog entry about a flyer that I made to promote this blog. Somewhat of an infinite loop, no? :\ Maybe not…

The Blog Flyer/J.A.M.E.S. WATTS

Good, bad, or ugly? (Yes, J.A.M.E.S. does a bit of that, too. Rhymes/Beats/Design. The new paradigm for the 21st century MC!)

P.S. - I must acknowledge the Jooks The World x The Council collab that popped off last night uptown; Happy B-Day love this weekend to King Luis, Mr. “Let’s Bring New York Back” & John Shotti.

P.S.S. - Shouts to StuntinOnProse; just found out that they had some good things to say about my latest.

Murakami x Brooklyn = ?

Murakami @ The Brooklyn Museum/J.A.M.E.S. WATTS

Yesterday, like many days, I happened to be in New York City, so I stopped by the Takahashi Murakami exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. All hypebeastery and Kanye-West-inspired-hipster-ness aside, I’ve been a fan of this guy even prior to the Louis Vuitton collaboration (remember these?) back in 2003 when I was pushing Canal Street replicas to everyone & their mother down south (by the way, I’m not sorry Mr. Arnault).

If you’re in New York between now and July 13 (and perhaps a fan of Japanese pop art, as well) be sure to head over to 200 Eastern Parkway. Enjoy the few flicks I was able to take covertly behind the backs of the seemingly ever-present security team. More after the jump!

P.S. - Special shouts to Zeeny (no typo) for letting me know about this one :] You’re 1 for 1!
