Raekwon drops "Only Build For Cubin Links" Tuesday, September 8. (Same day as Mayer Hawthorne, One day after my birthday thank you)

The first single is "House of Flying Daggers" with the illest beat provided by the late great J.Dilla. The track features Meth, Ghost, RZA & GZA (5 Deadly Venoms)

This video is sick! Both in a good way in a bad way. The illustration and animation are amazing! This is why I love the Wu. This is why I love art.

News Toos: Only On The Eastside...

Would some dumb brawd create a fake sex ad on Craigslist. She put this chicks full government name, address and phone number up! That takes some ovaries!! She did this because this chick in her hood is dating some guy who used to dig her out. But my favorite part of this story is how they give the first and last name of both women involved. They say the city they are from about 8 times and do mad close-ups of the girl who was harrassed by Johnny-Cum-Latelys. (Pun intended) What's even WORSE is the chick who was harrassed is a fox! Smooth move Channel 4.

PEEP THE VIDEO HERE.
I'd love to here some comments on this one!

Rhettmatic @ Oslo

So my good friend Phathom (Peep his BLOG) said something interesting to me this summer.

Phath: You know Dubbs, your blog should really capture the ill parties around the city that people may not necessicarily know about.

Adrienne: Yea, yea, yea I know.

Phath: No seriously! Like this one! This is a dope spot! You're a taste maker right? Well put people on to what's tasty.

Well I finally got my big and fancy camera, and I plan on doing just that. Showing you the live shit from around the city. But not through some wordy news paper or some trite website that shows shot girls and douchers with Gotti hair. From my point of view.

You may not like it. You may think it's wack. Oh well. You'll end up at one of the parties and ask me to take your picture. And I will smell your saltiness from a mile away and post a pic of you with your eyes closed and mouth open.

RHETTMATIC FROM THE WORLD FAMOUS BEAT JUNKIES LIVE FROM OSLO IN DETROIT. HE PLAYED CLASSICS ALL NIGHT LONG. I DANCED MY ASS OFF AND SWEATED MY PERM OUT. HE NEEDS TO COME BACK WAY MORE OFTEN!!!

Putting My Business In The Street.

I know you are sitting there saying this to yourself...

"Damn. Adrienne is pretty fun. Ha ha ha. I really like her blog. She puts me up on music, parties in the D, funny shit, random shit and even fashion for BOTH men AND women. But I know she's got some wild ass personal stories. How come she doesn't mention any of them."

That I do.

I would love to go on and on and about the dumb shit I get into with guys. But here's the problem. Most of them read this blog. (Well at least the 35% that can read)

So unless I move to another state or stop liking dudes who like the same things I like, those kind of stories are going to be limited. But damn do I have good ones!

;)

OH! Except for this guy. I met him in Vegas. He was from Switzerland. He said he spoke bad English. I said: (Not making this up)

"making out has no language" *I then licked the side of his face

Bishop Lamont Video (Rob Dyrdek makes me smile)



The vixen in this video makes me want to shave my head like all those other crazy bitches in the industry.

Hot Mess Monday: Keyshia Cole.

O Keyshia. I adore her and all of her ghetto-fabulousness but she took it straight to the hood.

Female celebs are having clipper fetishes lately. Solange Knowles? Cassie? Amber Rose?

I applaud for keeping her style switched up...but the stars? the dye? really?

Married To The Mob: Fall 2009

I was disappointed with their summer line this year. Mainly because they made some cute bikinis for the summer. But I was dreaming when I thought they would make them in my size. But the bitches came back in full force with their fall line. Clean looks. Rich colors.

These jeans are a definite cop for the fall. This would look so spicy with a vintage yellow button down cardigan, a wife beater, clear rimmed frames and some timbos!



I would sport this shirt w/some mom jeans from Walmart just for irony's sake.



Take a peek at their fall look book here ---> "Other Bitches Just Front"

Zoo York's New Line of Decks.


So sweet.

X Large. You Up On That???

I used to be back in the day when Mike D from the Beastie Boys was a share holder in the business. You could only get it in New York, LA and Japan at thet time. Since I was in college and living off of Tostino pizza rolls and dressing like an asshole I never made my way to see what these pieces really looked like. I went to NYC like 9 years ago and hit up their store in the meat packing district (Pause), but thier gear was sparse.

I haven't really thought about the brand until today when I took a peek at thier 2009
Fall Look Book.

Let's start carrying this in the D please and thank you.



I really like guys who dress like this...for the record...



X Large You should really holler at Asher Roth to be your spokesperson. Kind of a perfect fit if you ask me. But who's asking me? I'm just a lil' ole tastemaker.
