Taking art and his dedication to technical outerwear to new levels of visual communication, 686 founder Michael Akira West began the “in My eyes” as a new outlet for creativity last year beginning with an installation inspired by Lego and International Code flags. Going forward, “in MY eyes” - Installation 2 explores the theme of “Cash $”, a concept that has numerous definitions including Greed vs. Good, Want vs. Need, Evil vs. Good and Poor vs. Rich amongst others. Inspired by the global dominance of currency and the polar opposites in symbolic meanings, West took over one thousand $1 USD bills which were then laminated to a jacket. Keeping in line with 686’s technical innovation in their apparel, the jacket is based on a 3-layer waterproof mesh membrane and over twelve personnel a space of approximately two weeks to execute the piece.
You might remember that the very first CRS track was on a Thom Yorke instrumental.
This is a must watch/record. This Saturday @ 9pm - VH1… I hope VH1 streams the entire 3hrs online.
During the taping, according to a Reuters reporter, West was aggrieved that Radiohead singer Thom Yorke had allegedly snubbed him backstage at the Grammys five days earlier. That hurt, West told the audience, because he idolizes the British band, and considers it one of his few creative rivals.
“So when he performed at the Grammys, I sat the f— down,” West said.
A little later, West asked the crowd, “Can’t we give Chris a break? … I know I make mistakes in life.” He was referring to R&B singer Chris Brown, who was arrested on the night of the Grammys on suspicion of beating his girlfriend Rihanna.
In the same context, West earned loud applause with his declaration: “Michael Jackson, amazing. Michael Phelps, amazing … He’s a real f—in’ person; he makes mistakes,” referring to the champion swimmer’s recent bong pipe brouhaha.
VH1 has cleaned up those comments a bit, and it also included West’s less-popular follow-up observation: “O.J. Simpson, amazing. Is he not? What he did, when he did, what he did. Was he not amazing though?”
In between his speeches, West found time to perform 14 songs. Some, such as “Go Hard” and “Street Lights,” will not appear on the episode. The final set list combines older tunes like “Touch the Sky” and “Stronger,” and tracks from his new album “808s and Heartbreak,” including “Amazing” and “See You In My Nightmares.”
The taping of the show, which premieres on Saturday night, reportedly lasted three hours, and producers will be cutting it down to 90 minutes for air. The typical “Storytellers” is one hour long, so the editing out of some of West’s comments is not a conspiracy to silence him, according to a rep for VH1.

Spring Training starts tomorrow and if you’re not a true baseball fan, you can get in on the action with Upper Playground’s baseball league comprised of vicious characters including Outlaws, Stranglers and Brawlers to name a few. Playing on different pop culture legends and characteristics of twelve cities, the UPLB collection is a tongue-in-cheek version of how UP thinks baseball teams should be branded. The cities and teams represented are: Los Angeles Diablos, Seattle Hoods, Brooklyn Brawlers, Oakland Outlaws, San Francisco Panhandlers, Chicago Racketeers, New York Pickpockets, Cleveland Slingshots, Portland Vipers, Philadelphia Players, and Boston Stranglers.

For a rapper to command your attention, it all comes down to the voice. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Public Enemy’s Chuck D had millions of fans hanging on to every word of his booming baritone.
