Mick Boogie & Lil Wayne Mixtape Project Coming Soon...


Straight from MTV News today...
--------------------------

Lil Wayne says Tha Carter III is coming sometime in April, but before that, he'll release a mixtape called Hello Brooklyn with Mick Boogie, in which Weezy redid several classic records by BK's legendary MCs, such as Big Daddy Kane, Jay-Z and Notorious B.I.G.

"I'm redoing all the old Brooklyn artists," he divulged. "[Mick's] got some old stuff. So old, he had to send the originals. I don't know what them songs are. I had to listen to them a trillion times, then do it. Nikki Menage, my artist, [and I did] 'Sunshine' by Jay-Z and Babyface. We did 'Juicy.' It's sick." ...

Their Spring Part 1 line should be in-store within a week or two, with their denim coming in a bit after that.

They are also releasing different colors and fits in our best selling style "Ronin" that we should have in as well.




Dog The Bounty Hunter Returns To The Air after Racial Remarks


This is some bullshit...this redneck needed to have his show canceled for good after what he said. A&E is probably doing it for the ratings...funny that his son sold the tape though.

-------------------------------------------------------
Celebrity bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman will be returning to cable channel A&E after his reality TV show was pulled from the air three months ago in a controversy over his use of a racial epithet.

Chapman's popular show, Dog the Bounty Hunter was taken off the air last November after a private phone conversation with his son Tucker call leaked to the public. In the conversation Chapman [an ex-con] repeatedly used the N-word to describe Tucker's black girlfriend.

Tucker, apparently upset with the ignorance of his father, sold the tape of the conversation to The National Enquirer, for a reported $15,000.

After the conversation was made public, Chapman apologized repeatedly to the African American community and promised to change his way of thought.

An A&E spokesman said earlier this week "Over the last few months, Duane "Dog" Chapman has taken and continues to take the appropriate steps in reaching out to several African American organizations in an effort to make amends for his private comments to his son which were released publicly...Since the premise of Dog The Bounty Hunter is about second chances - we have decided to give him one."

Canvas Air Force Ones Coming Soon...

First off, sorry for the lack of posts this week but Ive been sick...if you've stopped by the store you probably noticed because I sound like I'm losing my voice haha, but I'm about 80% better now so
its back to business as usual!

These Air Force Ones are coming out in April & May of this year (NO we will not be stocking them...please no emails like the last time I posted Nike news lol) and Im really looking forward to them. Im a sucker for Canvas forces, and even though these aren't the same as the original Canvases, the color choices are crazy. Plus its hard as hell to find the original Orange Canvases for less than like $250 now so Im glad Nike is releasing an alternative. Only problem is they are a Women's release, so all you guys that are over a size 10.5 arent going to be able to cop...
