I'm No Longer A Teen...

So i just recently celebrated my 20th Birthday on the 22nd of this month.I must say that i do feel a tad bit older.Im not a teen anymore and with that becomes great responsiblility.Within these past couple of days ive reflected what ive done in my last 19 years of life and i don't regret one thing.One thing i do know is that im not gettin any younger and a have a very long life ahead of me to live and im looking forward to it.I dont really right alot of my thoughts but this year im going to attempt to write more.I hope you all have a blessed week and stay positive."You should never try to be perfect,he who is perfect can never get any better"

Kid Cudi Interview w/ A Bathing Ape


Kid Cudi recently spoke to A Bathing Ape for their 2010 Summer catalogue. Hypebeast took the time to transcribe what was said in the piece, but below is an excerpt from the interview that recounts a story he told of his time working at the BAPE store in SoHo.
Did you hear any interesting stories about your time there?
I remember Kanye coming in one time and I was helping him get a couple things. I forgot to take a sender off of one of the jackets he bought and I had to run out the store to catch him before he left. Pretty funny me chasing after him in SoHo haha.

Erykah Badu Claps Back At Her “Window Seat” Haters

Well we all knew Erykah’s “Window Seat” vid would cause ruckus as soon as we saw it.  And I personally loved the vid.  Mainly because I love anything Ms. Badu does–she has her own way of expression.  But plenty of people took issue with her nudity in the vid and the fact she did it on an open set in public and didn’t see the point of why.  Well she broke it down (and the concept of GroupThink) on twitter for those who were coming hard at her:
