Nike Air Max Lunar 'Leather' Pack QS
2014 finds the Nike Air Max getting outfitted with Lunarlon as of late and if that bit of updating wasn’t enough to warrant your attention maybe a change in materials will. Seen here is the Nike Air Max Lunar ‘Leather’ Pack and it includes two of the family’s staple models.
The Nike Air Max 1 and Nike Air Max 90 both are given a rich leather uppers that look super easy to scuff. The grade of leather switches up on either shoe however the thing that remains consistent is the piled lunar outsole that comes in teal on the Air Max 1 and orange on the Air Max 90. As a sneaker set they really get the luxurious leather point across well and don’t look like something you’d wanna run in.
No matter what year you choose either would be a dope look and if you want to get your hands on them both pair are set to hit Nikestore on Sept 5th.

Chris Brown Takes an Emotional Ride on New Song 'X'
Chris Brown‘s long-awaited album, ‘X,’ will finally arrive in a few weeks. And just to give fans more of a taste from the upcoming LP, he just shared the title track.
Starting with a very somber piano introduction, Chris sings about a girl who played with his heart and how he won’t take it from her anymore. The dark lyrics are quite visual and paint an especially grim picture
in the first verse.
“I keep my secrets in a safe house / Better if I don’t speak / Devil’s trying to kill / Just outline my shape out / Catch me at the crime scene,” Chris sings.
But he has more than just emotional lyrics as the song goes from being a sad ballad to a heavy headbanger by the pre-chorus — making you feel like you’re on a melodic roller coaster.
“I know just who you are / You put me on layaway / You just like to heart shop / I think that it’s over / I swear to God I’m moving on,” he declares before the track jumps into a jumpy siren-infused beat.
But just like the hills and valleys of a thrilling ride at an amusement park, the track has its high energy points and slow descents. As much as Chris plays with the tempos in this track, ‘X’ will also play with your emotions.
‘X’ debuts Sept. 16.

Sneaker of the Week – Air Jordan Retro 6 'Sport Blue'
Nostalgia has fueled many a sneaker collection and the surge in demand for retro sneakers is all the proof that you need. Case in point Nike has a retro bombshell in the chamber that is ready to rip through retailers and off shelves at light speed. With that said how could we not make the Air Jordan Retro 6 ‘Sport Blue’ our Sneaker Of The Week.
The sneaker serves as a tangible memory with its white leather upper and sport blue accents in all the right places. The only detail that is out of place is the Jumpman on the heel as anyone around for the sneaker’s 1991 debut will remember that once was a Nike Air logo instead.
Highly anticipated is an understatement and you can bet your bottom dollar that if you aren’t up at the crack of dawn on Aug 30 you won’t be getting a pair. If you don’t wanna deal with online retailers you can go line up at Wish who will have a few pairs in stock.

Juicy J Gets 'Low' With Nicki Minaj, Young Thug and Lil Bibby in New Video
Juicy J is parking lot pimpin’ in his latest video for ‘Low,’ which co-stars Nicki Minaj, Lil Bibby and Young Thug. Although the Queen Barbz showed off her assets in the ‘Anaconda’ video, she stays fully-clothed — and looking fabulous by the way — in the Benny Boom-directed clip.
The visual boasts plenty of eye candy to drool over as Juicy J keeps it trippy and Nicki Minaj spits her ‘Flawless’ rhymes. See what we did there?
“I ain’t never had a beat that a bitch ain’t rip / I’m fly everyday, but a bitch ain’t trippin’,” she raps over the echoic bass-heavy beat.
Meanwhile, Bibby is in a warehouse spitting gun-toting rhymes while surrounded by a bevy of women and riders doing tricks on their motorbikes.
“I’m young boss, I’m running s— / Call me King Tut / All this gold on I be blinged up / If they tried to rob, I got the thing tuck, you ain’t seen nothin’,” he raps.
The song is the first single off Juicy J’s upcoming album, ‘The Hustle Continues.’
Also, don’t forget, Nicki Minaj is set to perform at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday (Aug. 24) at 8PM ET.

20 Years Ago: Public Enemy Release Their Most Misunderstood Album, 'Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age'
In August of 1994, Public Enemy, who were unquestionably among the most influential and revered hip-hop groups of the late ’80s and early ’90s, released their first album of the post-’Chronic‘ era, the uncompromising and unfairly maligned ‘Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age.’
Unfortunately for them, rap fans had largely moved on from the dizzying, dense beats and tea-kettle whistles of classic PE songs such as ‘Rebel Without a Pause‘ and ‘911 is a Joke‘ in favor of the laid-back, bass-heavy G-Funk sound Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg pioneered on tracks like ‘Nuthin’ But a “G” Thang‘ and ‘Gin and Juice.‘
For the most part, Public Enemy refused to bow to these trends. “I had two choices; to go with the flow and make things more melodic,” group leader Chuck D explained in his book ‘Lyrics of a Rap Revolutionary,’ “…or I could make something different. I decided to make something different.” Not that the group remained stagnant. ‘Muse Sick’ added a big dose of “organic sounds” — particularly “real” drums and large masses of live background vocals — to Public Enemy’s previously sample-reliant formula.
This move added an exciting new energy to songs like the woozy ‘Bedlam 13:13,’ which somehow makes you feel like you’re on both cough syrup and speed at the same time, the frantic ‘Race Against Time‘ and the take-no-prisoners challenge of ‘What Side You On?‘ Chuck D did decide to tackle the new, popular style a couple of times, most notably on the lead single, ‘Give It Up.’ “It’s giving the people what they want and also giving them what they need,” he explained. “If you give them a little bit they’ll come and meet you halfway.”
Watch Public Enemy Perform ‘Give It Up’
The song was a big hit, but some (not all) critics were less kind to the album, with Alternative Press accusing the group of “treading water” and Rolling Stone declaring the album “diseased by weak hooks and plodding bass lines and beat loops.” The latter review even went so far as to say “I guess by now we should be used to watching black heroes die in public.” Low blow!
Reviews like that, along with an ill-timed shift of distribution companies for their Def Jam record label home — and of course, the aforementioned changes in the general public’s taste — sent ‘Muse Sick’ down the charts rather quickly and ingloriously. As Chuck D says, “When somebody looks back at ‘Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age’ I hope they will be more apt to look into the mind of where we were trying to come from, as opposed to a couple of reviews that happened to be from a trendy point of view.”
He’s right, the album deserves better. From its typically dynamic scene-setting opening number ‘Whole Lotta Love Goin on in the Middle of Hell‘ right up to track 13, the free jazz and beat poetry blending ‘Live and Undrugged, Parts 1 & 2‘ (which features one of Chuck’s most unhinged, passionate and impressive vocal performances), it’s all killer, no filler for the first hour of ‘Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age.’
Which leads us into the album’s one big problem — at that would-be perfect ending point, there’s still another 25 minutes of music to go, and not all of it rises up to that same high standard. Even Chuck admits, “I think the thing that made it seem unbalanced was the amount of product I put on the album.” Luckily, in this digital age there’s an easy fix for that — just delete the songs you don’t want. Or if you got the vinyl, maybe stay away from side four. You’ll still be left with at least an album’s worth of great Public Enemy music.
Instead, undeservedly in the mass public’s eye, ‘Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age’ was perceived as a rather downbeat end to an otherwise highly impressive (unparalleled, some might say) seven-year run that saw Public Enemy release five groundbreaking albums (and the half-new ‘Greatest Misses’). It would be four years before they released their next effort — the soundtrack to the Spike Lee film ‘He Got Game’ — and when they returned it would be without their founding DJ, Terminator X.
The group continues to tour the world and release new albums to this day; they released not one but two well-received albums, ‘Most of My Heroes Don’t Appear on No Stamps’ and ‘The Evil Empire of Everything,’ in 2012. Oh yeah, and Chuck still has that voice. He also recently released his third solo album, ‘The Black in Man.’
