Sk8 or Dice

Sk8 Dice is the new skate event played in The Berrics(Boss Skatepark in Cali). In order to play you need to bet your money against Berra's. You roll the dice and get your trick. In order to win you need to land the trick or lose your money. If your ass...dont play! Got no time for you Anti-Poons. Steve Berra was inspired to create this because of the all goombas hating on his skatepark and the events already taking place there. Well people here you have a game where you can play and win money...if your god enough. Visit Theberrics.com to check this game out on film. Shout outs to my boi Buttery Ass Donovan!

Yours Truly.... Shaq Vaughn

Thanks to this guy Matt Ryan, out of Boston College, lead the Dirty Birds to a astonishing 11-5 record. Good luck next week against the Cardinals.





I'm truly amazed on how the Eagles made the playoffs, Jackson was truly a huge asset toward the franchise. Best of luck next week against Minnesota.

NEW G-Shocks!!



Peep the new G-shocks released by In4mation I love the colorway as well as the idea behind the design of the watch. The price is around $225 so its an expected price for a G-shock.

Haters/Dickeaters listen up



It's come to my attention that someone disapproved/dickate on our "GETTAS DOC". On top of that, this certain person tried to claim we were "original" as well as compare us to a video that was recorded at an earlier date at a different location. I do admit, I admired the set up process that was taken at the other location, but do interviews not start with a question? So basically, rather than write a whole page on this person, I will let Wayne do the talking. p.s I'm proud to be a Boy Scout and my aqua dunks were purchased from ccs.com

Sneaker Swag: Nike SB Dunk High Top

Inspired by a television show in the 90's called "Twin Peaks", the Nike SB dunks were released early from its original date in January. Sb fans will really enjoy these, the design is Hot from the leather and suede to the red, black and green colors. The nikename for the shoe is the "Night Owl, hence the owl above the Nike swoosh, these dunks are taking the shoes in a new direction and the concepts that the shoes are based on. You can cop your  pair at Caliroot, Hurry up! before the all gone. 



I'm really feeling these!!!!!

Let us know what you think in the comments section!!!!!!!

The Gray Album


We've all heard of The Beatles self titled album, commonly called The White Album. Similarly, we've all heard of Jay-Z's Black Album. Two great albums. But completely disparate, right? Wrong. DJ Danger Mouse, the DJ from Gnarls Barkley, combined the two albums in 2004, the instrumentals of the Fab Four, and the vocals of Hova. Dig it.

Here's a ling to a torrent of the album:

G.E.T.T.A.S DOC

Mino Flip Video

Christmas was very good this year. One of my favorite gifts this year was a Mino Flip Video Camera it features a rechargeable Li-ion battery a sleek design, easy charging through usb as well as a 2.5 " viewing screen. I like it because of its portability and capabilities. It runs for around $180 but I'm sure you may be able to find it slightly cheaper.

Merry Christmas!


Whaddup y'all? GETTAS: Getting Even Through The Acquisition of Status.

Dig this Kanye Pic:
-Those glass are pretty fly.
Besides that, Kanye is one of my favorite artists out today. One of the only people, truly doing his own thing. I've heard a lot about him and his most recent effort 808s and Heartbreak, and how it's such a garbage album. Well, listen people, Kanye didn't make the album for you! He made the album for himself, just as all albums and artistic work should be made.
Ya gotta cut the dude some slack, everyone knows he's a top tier producer, and a grade-A MC, but he did that shit three times (College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation). Like, been there done that. Time to try something new.
He's not just a rapper, he's a true musician, and I think that upset some people. He went out on a limb, he knew he'd alienate some of the Kanye-Loyal, but at the same time, he made others love him even more for being willing to break the mold that was Kanye West pre-808s.
Also, for those who hate on the production of the album, the voice tuning etc. You'd be suprised at how little in the recording studio is original. There are sound libraries with thousands of drum, synth, bass, guitar, etc. parts pre-loaded. All a producer does, is mash them together in some cases.
Personally, I love the new album. I think it's a great album, specifically Paranoid and Love Lockdown. Although, at times, it can feel like the album is one long song.

Another note about Mr. West. He's outspoken and says whatever the fuck is on his mind (ie. G.W.B. doesn't care about...). Regardless of his political leanings, I have much respect for a man who can say what he means without fear of retribution. Or having to issue an apology statement to an all too easily offended society. People like Kanye are in short supply.

Peace.

Best Christmas Movie


For me, hands down one of the best holiday movies. I greatly anticipate the day it will air, hopefully sometime in the near future. If the snow that fell in this movie happened in Springfield...I don't know what I would do.


Spizzze's


One of my favorite pair of jordans, (Spizz'ikes) inspired by the great Spike Lee himself, dropped yesterday in these two sick color ways. Available at Ubiqlife.com for $175 grab em' while they still there.

More than just man of the year

Peep the Ray-Ban's


This is the face of future America. From his initial candidacy to his up coming inauguration he has displayed up most composure in dealing with himself, his family and country. A year ago, I must say I was agitated at the fact I looked like him...but now I appreciate it.

Session


















Initially I thought this would be "the season for snow" unfortunately it has yet to accumulate more than 2 inches. I pray we will be able to make this session again.
