BOBBITO GARCIA SIGNS A PAIR OF AIR FORCE 1'S (25TH ANNIV MAC & CHEESE EDITION) FOR OVEOUS MAXIMUS

Bobbito is my boy... We first met last year in the summer when we went to Puerto Rico with Louie Vega and Roy Ayers to perform for the Elements of Life concert. Since then, we've been homies. Went to his crib a few months ago and he gave me these. but i refused to wear them until he had signed them. (I know... i'm a virgo) So last night i got the job done. I'll probably wear them at my next gig or something. Btw, if you didn't know... Bobbito is author of the highly acclaimed book "Where'd You Get Those" which funny enough i had in my book library for 3 years till i noticed a few weeks ago that it was his book! LOL... But thats not all... Bobbito also is founder of BOUNCE magazine. A publication dedicated to the game of Basketball.

MY MOM IS MAD GHETTO & I HAD NO IDEA! LOL!

FIRST OF ALL... I'M "NOT HATIN".. BUT I GOTTA SAY IT... ISN'T IT FUNNY HOW I'M ABLE TO PREDICT THE FUTURE...

now, here's a picture of me and Thosh from Feb 2008. showing you how retarded fashion can get if you take it a lil overboard. ok.... now.... take a look at this video below of Taz ( SA RA / Good music) and you tell me what you think? and lets get this straight... i'm NOT HATIN.. i'm just saying... there's been alot of shit i've done first and never got credit for it.

just like i said publicly that i was going to record my Dilla inspired mixtape in 24hrs. and then Saigon does it and gets all the credit.. its cool. but dammmmmm. can i get some luv.. shit...

and YES, i took this pic above to make fun of the fashion game nowadays. but it was all in good fun. i'm glad hip hop is back to the "cool" era. and i support anyone who promotes the art in hip hop over the violence... ya DIG??? thats it...

WILL.I.AM "SHE'S A STAR" MUSIC VIDEO


Will.i.am "She's a Star" music video from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.

MY FINAL LA REPORT...

yea... it was cool... i've had better trips to the west tho. honestly, if it wasn't for San Fran last weekend... this trip would of been wack. however... the last 48 hrs was special.

first, yesterday... i went to the flypoet showcase to support my homie Malcom Jamal Warner (Theo from the Cosby Show, in case your memory sucks..) who was the feature poet. yessss, he's a poet... anyhow, your boy had to get down and rock the stage... went up and did the song "Shootings Stars" acapella. crowd was cool, they felt it... oh! wait! and Mums was there too. he was dope as usual. so yea, Malcom went up later that night and poured his heart out on stage... it was dope. we've rocked that stage before, but last night he murdered it... after the show, me and Malcom had a serious convo in my car about Art and the struggles and hustle of the game. that video will be posted soon...

today, i had two media interviews... a cool interview with my boy Sean for a new online mag. then i also wrote a new song with my boy John West, for my album "Future Intentions". song is called "Still Loving You"... and if you know what John sounds like.... you already know the song is gonna be ill. and then the second interview of this evening was probably the BEST interview i ever had... for reals yo... kid named Shakeib from LOUDreams.com came thru the crib and we had a BLAST YO! i mean... kid had me freestyling... but he too got in on the freestyle! LOL... yo... son went in... mad luv to him and his dope online publication.

so yea... overall it was cool. but NY... ya'll know what it is... no one compares to the REAL AND RAW OF NEW YORK CITY... NO ONE...
