Since launching her first full Fenty PUMA collection this year at NYFW and signing a three-year contract as contributing creative director of Stance, Rihanna continues to expand her fashion dominance with her latest sunglass collaboration with Dior. This is also the first time the couture house will be granting one of its ambassadors the privilege to work on a design project together. A design original to Rihanna, who handpicked the materials and color palettes herself, the collection features a futuristic eyewear silhouette in six different variations. The sunglasses will be exclusively available at Dior stores from early June. Each of these shades will retail for $840 USD, with the exception of a premium 24-karat-gold-plated version that will sell for $1,950 USD. View the full collection in the gallery above.

The Beefy Crunch Burrito is leaving soon.... again... but it doesn't have to leave just yet! If we can get 50K likes on Taco Bells Instagram post, we can enjoy it for 6 more weeks! It's a monumental goal, but I know we can do it. There'll be time to analyze and reflect on the importance of this but for now we need to make it happen.
Here is the Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BF5QkzFwhOb/
I don't ask for much but I ask for this. Treat it like Nike, JUST DO IT. Sorry, didn't mean to yell.

A pre-launch tour of one of the original Apple Stores back in 2001 (Tysons Corner, VA). Apple got it right. Love the Flower Power iMacs at the cash register and the red "batphone" to call Cupertino at the Genius Bar!

First things first, who was the one to come up with this Taco Tuesday stuff? Tacos are to be ate at all times on all days. No need to wait for some Tuesday, I should live in Mexico. Or I could just go to the store. Better idea, I can get this floor mat and just have people bring me Tacos.
Why don't I have this in my life. It's like it was made for me and now I need to get one. Maybe two. Incase somebody comes in front the back door.

If you love rap, than you have definitely heard the song by the late great Biggie, 'I Got A Story To Tell'. Now for years since his passing we have all wondered who the song was about. Well, I guess people have been asking questions while he was alive but I was like five, chill. Highly Questionable have probably had the highest level of investigation. Asking about all the rappers from New York that knew Biggie, who this Knicks player might be. It wasn't till Fat Joe came on that we finally found out and ended this chase.
But yo Biggie, how basketball games rain out though?
This short film written and directed by Aristotle Torres takes us into the night of this now infamous song. Starting Delano Barbosa ,Amina Blue (Yes, the Yeezy model) and Ade Otukoya. This film packed a punch.

If you are anything like me, you love the game mode in Call Of Duty 'Zombies'. This fast pace game of seeing how many rounds you can last. Has always been a fan favorite since it was unlocked in War At War. One thing that alot of us have learned is that this game mode goes deeper then just shoot em up, bang bang. Doing each maps easter eggs opens up the storyline for the game. Over the years we have talked about it and been trying to piece it together. Some of us got lost around Black Ops 2, we thought the group on that map, that I shall not say was just random people, turn out.. Actually watch this video as ROFL Waffles puts it all together.

This is me in 2027. This is how I would dress during an apocalypse. Looking like I'm in the punk rock band, Kick Girl. That's one big ass gun. It's called 'Dirty Harry". Dirty Harry likes to blow brains out. Clean across the road. I have recently been hooked on playing "Sunset Overdrive"
The game is set in 2027, in a fictional metropolis called Sunset City. You controls (fully custom) an employee of FizzCo, who has to fight off the OD, short for Overcharge Drinkers: humans who have turned into mutants after drinking FizzCo's energy drink beverage. In the dystopian Sunset City the player character can wall-run, use zip-lines, and grind rails to swiftly navigate through it, with a large arsenal of weapons to use. The game also has a cooperative multiplayer mode called Chaos Squad, which tasks players to complete a series of missions with seven players. As the game put emphasis on momentum.
When the Xbox One was first announced this was one of the first games, if not the first, that was one of the selling points for the system. It worked for me. I was loving the vibe of the game and the gameplay, even if I didn't know what was going on. I finally got around to play it and I can't stop. As stated above you are now the Hero that Sunset City needs. The city has gone to shit and now you must nut up or shut up. Word to Tallahassee.
If you ever played 'Jet Set Radio' then you will instantly get the feel for this one when you pick it up as you try and escape to your apartment in the opening scene. All the dashing and zip lining, bringing back so many memories. They say that the last half of the games picks up. If the start of the game is what they think is slow then I can't wait to see what they call fast. I'm loving the boss fights they have in the game. You kinda got to remember the moves you pick up in the game to beat the bosses. You can't just run down the street shooting OD. It will catch up to you. You have to boogie on em. You also have to watch out for the assholes. You would think that when hell breaks wild with Zombies that humans ban together. Nope. Same ole bullshit. Can't we all just get along. You will also see that it's some good humans too. People on yo side of this thing called life.
Oh, hey ladies. You can also play this game as a women. Don't worry about the price of things. You make so much in this game that it don't matter. They also have the system split. You use money to buy clothes,etc. Overcharge (The drink that made everybody go bat shit crazy) is used to buy weapons. I haven't finished the game so I don't know why Two Hat Jack want's the soda. Gotta love somebody with a name like that. Hey, that's one of the people that's here to help. He sells you bad ass weapons.
I been trying to do the side quests that are in the game so that I can fully enjoy this and not rush to finish it as some have said that it takes around 10 hours to finish. That's without any of the side stuff. They have also been coming out with DLC story line so I have that to look forward too.
Only thing I don't like about this game is no Co-Op on missions in story mode. That would have been amazing. Besides that, this is a must get if you can.
Peace, off to be a Hero.
Where my theme music.

Nike’s Kyrie 2 has seen more than a handful of colorways, such as being covered in all red suede, a special EYBL edition, an ode to the iconic Nike Air Huarache model and much more. This time around the electric guard’s second silhouette with the Swoosh will receive a special theme modeled after Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Nicknamed the “Ky-rispy,” brand new images have been shared via Nike’s social media that displays Nike’s constant innovation in terms of an unforgettable shopping experience, this time around featuring the iconic donuts’ signature livery-clad delivery truck.
The Nike Kyrie 2 “Krispy Kreme” will host a white front with an orange heel that’s complemented wit green detailing seen on Krispy Kreme’s logo and packaging.
According to Nike’s PR Director Heidi Burgett, the “Krispy Kreme” colorway will release throughout the early weeks of May at select locations in Cleveland, Baltimore, Harlem and Brooklyn with limited quantities.

If it's one thing I can't be, that is a Vegan. I don't know that God put meat on earth to be ate but he didn't make it taste good for us not to eat it. I guess that makes two, cause I was about to say James Bond. I can't be James Bond. Since, you know they won't let Idris Elba play him. James Bond also never finds his way to a suit that's not black. It's always black and nothing else. I'm not with that. I need some color, from time to time. Plus if I was James Bond and wearing colorful suits, the bad guys would be confused. They would be looking for the me, James Bond and never find me. Cause they would be looking for that damn black suit. Nope. Not today, today I'm wearing this. The not James Bond shit.
How many times did I say "James Bond" in the opening.
If you see me post about suits and I don't show the undershirt. It's white. Always white unless I say otherwise. Anyways. I feel like I'm short enough to pull this off. Just something about the tall people wearing colors that just look odd to me. Maybe because it was too much so much fabric that is over the taller bodies. It's like looking at the sun in a heavy dose. So with me being short, I can do it.
Black Knitted Bow Tie
Two summer's ago, I said that we should 'Bow Tie It Up This Summer'. We did. Now it's time to do it again. Bow ties are always right for the summer. They give off that summer feel that the tie just doesn't give you. This knitted one is perfect for this look.
Sand Cotton Twill Skinny Fit Pants
I know you was thinking that I was going to pick out some black pants. You just knew I would be. So, I guess you can put that thought right back into your head. Joking, I'm laughing with you as you look over the thoughts you was about to make. I don't know why I wrote that line so deep, welp. Use that whenever somebody gets on your nerves. Anyways, I felt that the black pants would be too safe and the grey pants would be great but no pop with that. So sand cotton seems to be the just enough without being too much.
Let's just keep the shoes black. I don't wanna add too many colors into the look and black shoes always seem to be my go to.

PUMA’s latest sneaker is another collaboration with Crossover, a Malaysian sneaker and streetwear boutique.

Since Prince passing, we have been thinking about all the amazing things he have done. Our latest Podcast episode was all about the purple one. In the misty of all this. I got to thinking about Morris Day and the Time. We really don't love this man enough. He the fucking man. I mean how can you not sing when "Gigolos Get Lonely Too" comes on.
My Granddaddy used to play this so much in the car that I started to think he was trying to tell me he used to be a Gigolo. Well, he did live in Atlantic City at one point and time.
I really need to call him and ask about that.Anyways, if you know anything about Morris Day. Than you know that he is really loud with the clothes. Louder the better. This some 80's black people shit. Darryl Dawkins was the same way, may he rest in peace. As much as loud is never been and never will be my style. I do come around to some of the stuff. Like the suit that's in the "What Time It Is?" cover, I really want that suit jacket. Not that one, cause you know it's old and used but one like it.
I searched around Topman and couldn't find it, which is shockingly surprising. Anyways, I put together the best to the closest I can get to the style, they way I would wear it.
Green Leopard Print Long Sleeve Dress Shirt
The women in South Jersey are yelling at the cpu. They need this and they need this right now. For all the furniture in their house. They really love some Leopard print in the Jersey Shore. With this shirt you can be loud while not being the type of loud that gets people taking pictures for all the wrong reasons.
It's always a good time to go with the more laid back style when it comes to the pants with the wild loud as shirt. This helps in the not looking crazy. You not a Mississippi Pimp and you shall not dress as such.
Let's go ahead and end this look with some really clean shoes. Sneakers would be too much on the looks too much in between dressed up and chill. I never really been the biggest of a fan of sneakers with dress pants. Today also won't be one of them days.

Famed for being one of the two founders of arguably the most recognized sports footwear and apparel brand, Nike co-creator Phil Knight now offers up his own documentation of that legacy through his memoir titled Shoe Dog. The 400-page book recounts the whole story of Nike, from starting out as a fledgling company with a capital of only $50 USD that Knight borrowed from his father, to dominating the world as the multinational iconic brand we all know and love. It’s been said that the memoir was partly inspired by the 78-year old having watched the film The Bucket List, as well as to finally set the record straight about the brand that’s been written about in countless other, non-founder recounted titles. Phil Knight’s Shoe Dog is available now through Amazon.

If it's one thing that I love. It's the grey sneaker. I have lots of red and I have lots of grey. Not even my favorite colors. Not even in the top five but when it comes to sneakers, I'm all for them. Maybe they're in my top five and I don't even know it.
I say all this to say that I love this colorway. I post about this sneaker so much that you know that I already love the sneaker. I think I was one of the first to be up on the sneaker. It's fire.
Though largely gone from adidas’s own website and spots like Extra Butter, the “Granite” and Core Black/Burgundy additions to the Radial range can still be found at select adi stockists worldwide for $110 USD per pair.

This is tough to watch. Where did this hate for women come about? It's so not needed in this word. You can think somebody doesn't know something but to think that because they're women is fucking stupid. Women enjoy sports about as much as men. So, just like some men don't really care for it. Telling somebody that they should just cook and suck dick is fucking uncalled for. This is making me mad. I'm sorry to the ladies that have to go thru all this.

Back in 2007, Lupe Fiasco won a GRAMMY in 2007 for "Daydreamin'," a single off Food & Liquor. However, because the Chicago rapper had pneumonia at that time, he wasn't able to accept the award. The trophy was thereafter sent to his lawyer, who kept the award in her garage for nine years. When Lupe's assistant moved it to New York, he was finally able to reunite with the award once again. Watch his belated acceptance speech above.
