Beats, Eats, Feets, & The Letter H.

Some random shit that deserved exposure:

BEATS:



Joell Ortiz might be the nicest dude out right now- at least that I listen to. He just dropped this "Summertime in Brooklyn" over Jigga's Primo produced "A Million and One Questions." Jacked from Nahright.

"So I stay fresh and find a girl that's thinking what I'm thinking/ And give her back shots like I ain't feel like drinking"

They just don't make them like this anymore.

Joell Ortiz- Summertime in Brooklyn

And this new Raekwon "Once In A Lifetime" ft. Mika on his relationship bullshit is in rotation- the Mid June mixtape. Any track dealing with female drama is always worth a listen. Loyal dudes get burnt. Ugh. Shit's dope though, and I'm looking forward for that OB4CL2. Snatched from 2dopeboyz.

Raekwon- Once In a Lifetime

EATS:


The June 8 NY Times Travel section did a great piece on ballpark fare throughout the country. Along with an article recounting Peter Meehan's travels to 12 parks, they provided a guide for all 30 stadiums in the MLB. Peep the article HERE and the ballpark guide HERE. Luckily the Yankees have had great teams over the years, because the food is pretty shitty. Seems like the better the team, the worse the food. In that case, the Yankees should step their gourmet game up especially with Wang being out for 6 weeks. Now I understand why the Giants always have asses in seats.

FEETS:


The Air Max 95 Neons just dropped AGAIN. And no matter how many times they drop, they are still a beautiful shoe. The more recent drops look a bit cheaper and you can tell the differences (see above)- i.e. smaller bubble in back and darker shades of grey- but that neon is so fucking fresh. How fresh? So fucking fresh. I was in Oneonta back in '95 when they dropped and I recall some rich Italian kids from Brooklyn having them. I knew a girl that worked at Hermann's in Cross County who said she could get them for me on discount- $92 or something, but it never panned out. I've had a pair for years- the 99 release which has the PS 20 on the sole- that I got off ebay back in 2001 or so and paid a grip not realizing they'd drop 10 times since- but you can never go wrong with extras of these. I had a size 12- but we all know you need to go a size up or you get that toe lump and that is a TERRIBLE look. Luckily my boy had a 13 he wanted to get rid of so we worked something out and I unloaded my 12. The neon completely makes the shoe. I'm not in love with the style, just the color- and the way Nike allotted the colors- not ODing on the neon, but just enough to want more and creating an aesthetic that hasn't been matched since. They used the grey radiant and black mid sole with a variety of other colors- but nothing matched the neon. I almost get the same feeling looking at the neons as I do my name. On some shit never gets old feeling. Possibly a personal thing.

THE LETTER H:


I fucked up and slept on this Hickory Crawdads fitted. What the fuck was I thinking? The shit has an H, a crawfish, and a baseball- 3 loves in the world of Howfresh. The spot sold out my size so I'm H-less on this one. It was designed in conjunction with the lobster dunks, so I guess some little dickhead hypebeast will be rocking my shit. Fuck him and fuck me. Please disregard the Mets joint- in the process of getting photo editing software- still a rookie at this shit.


Wow, I was angry on this post. Maybe due to the ants I had in the bathroom this morning. First time I ever saw them in 5 years. This humidity's a bitch.
