NiceKicks.com x Air Yeezy Giveaway
NiceKicks.com has a contest going on to give away a free pair of Air Yeezy's. I'll take this option over camping out for 5 days waiting to grab a pair for $200. Click on this link and register yourself, even if you aren't a shoe head...then you can give them to me to thank me for my awesome blog. LOL. Seriously though...I'll love you forever if you win.
Air Max 95 Fresh Water
I have been looking at these the past two weeks are so and finally pulled the trigger on my first shoe pick up since the CDP XI/XII purchase back in December. I think late December to early April is the longest I've gone in about 5 years without buying a pair of shoes. Sad but true...Thanks to my boy with the Swoosh discount for helping me out on these. $101 shipped to my door when they are retailing in stores for $145. You can't beat that...
Neon's (Yellow), Safety's (Orange) and Chili's (Red) are up next....

Please Say the Baby...
Wayne becomes one of only a few rappers ever to grace the cover of Rolling Stone. Check out this excerpt from the magazine:“Honestly? I don’t want to be the best rapper in the world,” Wayne told Rolling Stone in an upcoming cover story arriving on newsstands Friday. “If I have a rap album I’m dropping, then I want it to be the best rap album. But I want to be the best. Period. Now. My favorite rapper hasn’t done what I’m doing.”
In the profile, Wayne explains what led to his transition from rap to rock music. As his celebrity began to rise, he started to experience a life unlike anything he could rap about, he said. He described one particular night when he bedded multiple women and thought in the morning, “This is who I am now.”
“The rock sh– just comes from what my life is now. I’ve grown into this person,” Wayne told the magazine. “I woke up one morning and had three or four women in my bed where I not only didn’t know their last names, I didn’t know the beginning letter of their first names. All I know is, they’re the most beautiful women in the world, and I was in my own place, in whatever city I as in. And I could have thrown a dart at the map, and I’d probably have a place there too. I knew my driver was waiting downstairs for me. When my nose finally cleared from all the weed I had smoked, I smelled food in the kitchen and I knew it was my chef. Then I look on my phone and see a message and know it’s from a popular woman everyone knows. And when I went in the studio that night, I couldn’t just rap, ‘Yeah, n—a … .’ ”
