BiZZack on the grizzy.

last name ever, first name greatest; like a sprained ankle, i ain't nothing to play with!

the ART of the Hustle.

It's more than a beat with heavy base, and rhymes that cause inevitable head bopping. Or large Xs that cover your chest that do more than captivate a fashionably inclined individual's attention. I again, thank Complex magazine for yet ANOTHER incredible collaborative issue for October/November.

Yeah, say it, GR GR GR GR GRINDING! As soon as you hear this song you bang your fist on the nearest desk to imitate one of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo's many rhythmic creations.

&&.

From what used to be Union in New York City to Common Wealth in the nation's only Common Wealth, pardon the pun; you can find yourself drapped in Xs, sporting the new oxymoronic trend, Original Fake.

Peep this new collaboration on stands soon! && Pardon me, I must say, this is kinda like a big deal. So uhm, lights, camera, & oh yeah, action!

back in the JUMPOFF.

i've been on hiatus for a little while, trying to get acclimated with my sophomore year at HOWARDUniversity and so0o, i TRULY apologize yet again!

i'll continue to keep you abreast of such things that are indeed, ironically peculiar, and super DOPE.


yours truly,

a woods

"I'd rather let my day to day actions speak louder than what I say."
- Chris Brown

they say he's COMPLEX like the MAGAZiNE.

now, my guess would be that, when he wrote those lyrics, he didn't think that he would be on the cover of complex that soon, did he?
so. he's signed to Kanye's record label. Nominated for awards without even releasing an album. & now, he's on the cover of COMPLEX magazine. And this is not just ANY cover, this is an animated, personally drawn cover trying to capture a "nightmarish approach". pretty damn cool if you ask me. KidCuDi seems like one of those, about his business, but still wants to have fun and let the fans have fun as well. you guys will definitely enjoy this, like I have.
complex aug/sept 2009 issue. look out for it ! hitting a magazine stand near you, august 11th.



he's the man. !

the infamous Chuck Taylor, revamped !

"They never gave me support, like Chuck T's."

This summer has been filled with Chuck Taylor Converses. Why ? Probably because they're cool, stylish, & affordable. Not to mention the array of styles & colors that they come in. Stepping away from the canvas scene, Converse has decided to release a sneaker made from fleece material. These heather gray fleece converses are available at sneakersnuff.com

new creations INC.

in my spare time, i'd like to refer to myself as creative ally. yes, i said it! do you dispute? what was once a Triple L Society crew neck tee-shirt has been altered to a pink splash summer twist string halter.

peek peek ! feedback is greatly appreciated.

new aspect of IRONICALLY p e c u l i a r.

"They say there's two sides to every story, and three once the truth is told."

it's not ABC, it's APC.

APC doesn't just make jeans, if you were wondering. A brand that's pretty much to my liking, oppose to Nudie, which i have grown to dislike. I give thanks to the hood for that one, ha ! In any event, their 2009 Fall/Winter collection has already hit various retail locations. Please don't be left out, and don't invest if this is not your knack. For lack of a better term.

take a looksy. 2009 Fall/Winter

G Shock or Bapex ?

The newest watch craze has undeniably been G Shock watches by Casio. Walking down the street, i'm sure every 2 out of 5 individuals has on either a big faced, smaller faced, or baby G Shock. But, will G Shocks now have competition ? Not too sure, mainly because of the difference in price. Bathing Ape has released a line of non digital watches, called BAPEX. Will these be the new craze ?? take a peek. I actually am not too sure about these watches. They replicate Rolexes, but are they marketable to teens ? Perhaps, because the name's Bathing !

Watch your S T E P !

So between, trying to eff, every girl in the world, being so far gone, and confessing that she's the BEST he's ever had, Drake tore his ACL & injured his knee. Tough cookies ! I sympathize, because i'm quite sure the pain is unbearable. BUT, keep in mind that despite his injuries, he STILL has performed shows, but only one show a night. If you ask me, that is extreme devotion. What, does he think that he's the Allen Iverson of the rap game ?? Well, IRONICALLY p e c u l i a r wishes you a speedy recovery !



peep this though. yikessss =\

take a walk on the SOUTHside.

African Americans have endured some of the most outrageous brutality, and in the twenty first century, such behavior should not be tolerate. Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors were beaten, deprived of education, and responded to every beck and call of
"the white man". Many of us have learned this, time and time again in History classes.

So, learning this in History class would imply that these occurrences have already happened. I am slightly mind boggled as to WHY history is repeating itself. Were there not individuals that risked their lives to break this cycle ? Ooh, alright. Just checking.

But clearly, there is no excuse as to why this black man was brutally beaten, simply because he was driving in South Side Chicago with his white fiance in the car.

guess who's BIZZACK !

Okay, so first, allow me to apologize for the hiatus, which was unannounced. Between trying to get things together for school, and interning at 1600AM WWRL radio station in NYC, it was pretty difficult to multi-task.

But !! I have returned. I know you all have been yearning for new posts, and here I am to give you guys what you've been waiting for.

Yours Truly,

ohio's V E R Y own.

look at her, she can be my superBOO.
poke her face. sky might fall, but i'm not worried at aLL.
going back to honolulu, just to get that, that maui wowie.

you've guessed right. CuDi the KID himself.

before admiring his style of rap, and his ability to capture various musical genres in one song, i honestly thought that this guy was just one of those one hit, and forgets. day n' night played all over the place. from bet. to mtv. to ringtones. and it rang my ears off, totally. none the less, i downloaded his mixtape. to say i fell in love, would be an understatement.
native of ohio. singer/rapper. moved to NY and slept on couches and floors for three years. signed to GOOD music.

the only word i can use to describe this deft young man is; modest. patient. & less is MORE.

take notes && enJOY !

his EGO is his imaginary friend. & her next single !

kan. the LOUIE. vuitton. DON.
beyonce. the star studded. songstress gone actress.
could we have asked for a better collaboration ? i think not !
now, time for me to do what it is, that i do best ! if you haven't noticed, the latter of beyonce's released videos are all within the black and white color scheme, with the glare of white lighting; except for halo, which is in color, but has the white lighting. my appreciation for this video goes without being said. you have similes and metaphors that are to die for. alto and soprano notes. precise choreography & shiny costumes. then again, what do you expect ? this is BEYONCE & KANYE. duh. pardon my ignorance. and peep the significant zoom at 0:18 seconds. don't be a fiend ! chao !



ENjoy !

dudes give him daps; chicks give him hugs !

weezy. baby. you can never play them, they're from uptown baby !
nothing much really to say, BUT this video is pretty cool.
kudos to Little X on this one, the various angles and recurring zoomed
shots ! enJOY.

sean BIG, a problem too big; trig !

kanye. the arrogant, yet widely known, loved, and more importantly revered producer/musician/socialite.
well, enough about yezzy. ye's protege, big sean is definitely an undeniable talent. check out his performance at DEFJAM's twenty fifth anniversary.

SoundOff TV Presents: Def Jam 25- Big Sean from LowKey on Vimeo.

yeah. i know you love him; almost as much as i do.
can you say GOOD music ?
peep his other tunes; supa dupa, getcha some, dreams. trust there's more, but see for yourself ! sheeesh brutha. =)

stimulate my HEART & surrender.my.mind

when we think of cassie, we think of; pretty face. half caesar, half long luxurious hair.
when we think of diddy, we think of; getting off on other people's tracks, take that, take that, & ciroc OBAMA.

put them together, and we have, "Must Be Love"

notice the ambiance of the low lighting, and sometimes sepia lighting.
rather intense if you ask me !



ENjoy !

bow wow throws in the towel, with a POLE in his basement !

LADiES. LADiES. LADiES.

Disappointment has struck on the female youngins as it has for myself. Rumors have been cleared ! Actually, it's not even a rumor. Bow Wow is throwing in the rap towel, and has asked to be released from Columbia Records after releasing S E V E N albums. In my opinion, he latest release, New Jack City Part II, which came out in March was his best album ! With features from Trey Songz, to Ron Browz, it was pretty good stuff.

He just released a new video, not for the kids of course ! I mean c'mon, he's 22, a GROWN MAN. "Pole in my Basement" and he has definitely earned the respect of many guys in the streets. -- indeed.

take a peek ! he's a boss too. a boss, hands down !

L. B. DUB. Gang !

Kanye releases Spaceship.

Okay so, College Drop Out was the FIRST of Kanye's many musically empowering albums. He has just released the video for
"Spaceship" Featuring GLC and Consequence ! Only bosses can do such things, and be successful with it ! take a peek. this is G O O D music !
