This is a Blog designed for those that live a Hood lifestyle with Hollywood taste. This is for that young professional or the corner boy, this is for the '9 to 5'er' or the '24hr's no days off' type. This Blog is a well needed, fresh outlook on todays society. It presents answers to those daily questions and conversations you have with your co-workers, and those life long arguments that barber shops and hair salons never seem to conclude. Presented by a DC mind with a world wide approach.

The boot reflects the 'new' consumer. It's more mature and tailored. The logos are toned down to make them more design-driven and less logo driven...The R+ "Roc Climber" is what the customer has expressed they want, letting the silhouette speak for itself.
It's bottom was developed in Italy and showcases a unique polished treatment that is found only in high-end fashion footwear. Sorry Hov I like you as a rapper but I'm not feeling these 1 bit! lol

LRG 2 Minutes 2 Midnight Jacket
I usually try to stay away from posting things that I don't like but this was just too interesting to leave alone. The 2 Minutes To Midnight Jacket by LRG weighs in at a whopping 35 pounds and has a matching $2000 price tag. This gorgeously crafted jacket features amazing cut & sew detail, stunning satin interior lining, ribbed cuffs, full-leather accents, and shining gold studs and is available at Karmaloop.
Look on the bright side, at 35lbs at least you'll have a weapon for all the laughs you'll get with this thing on! lol

Single Parenting in Black America
It is important that fathers step up and help out in society. There are far too many mothers running around trying to do fathering and mothering. Prime example, Tanya Thomas, or Thomas as she is affectionately known in many bidwiss circles is trying to juggle both parenting roles while maintaining a social life. However it has become hard as that lovely crabgrass has set in abover her lip. Black men help these women out and prevent false lesbian accusations.
