(TAKEN FROM SITE) THE CLIPSE’S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED “PLAY CLOTHS” LINE HAS MADE IT TO CHICAGO. FOR FIRST TIMERS THE LINE LOOKS REALLY GOOD. THE COLLECTION IS NICE AND SIMPLE AND ALL OF THE ITEMS ARE AFFORDABLE, YOU CAN’T BEAT $40 TEES.



YEAH EVERYONE’S DOING THE CLOTHING THING, BUT PLAY CLOTHS, FOUNDED BY STAR TRAK RAPPERS CLIPSE, IS GOING TO BLOW UP IN THE U.S. AND EVERYWHERE AMONGST THE EVER-GROWING ARMY OF STAR TRAK LABEL FOLLOWERS. WITH MENTOR PHARRELL WILLIAMS ALREADY OUT THERE WITH BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB, I THINK IT’S SAFE TO SAY THOSE CUSTOMERS WONT HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITH JUMPING OVER TO THE PLAY CLOTHS THING. CHECK IT OUT HERE AT LDRS



VIRGINIA NATIVES CLIPSE HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR A MINUTE MUSICALLY, ASIDE FROM THE RE-UP GANG STUFF AND THE ODD PUSHA CAMEO, WE HAVEN’T GOT TO HEAR THE BROTHERS THORNTON IN FULL SONG TOGETHER FOR A WHILE. LUCKILY ENOUGH, TO PROMOTE THE NEW CLOTHING LINE, THEY’RE COUPLING IT WITH A MIXTAPE IN ASSOCIATION WITH COMPLEX MAGAZINE.

GOOD MORNING/AFTERNOON/EVENING – WHATEVER TIME OF DAY IT IS, IT DOESN’T MATTER. I GO BY THE NAME OF ‘D’ (THAT’S HOW I’M KNOWN I SUPPOSE) AND I’M HAPPY TO BE ALLOWED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE TRAPSTAR MOVEMENT. I’M NOT SAYING MY OPINION IS ALL THAT MATTERS, BUT AS LONG AS I HAVE A WORTHY OUTLET TO EXPRESS IT – I WILL EXERCISE MY RIGHT FULLY. IN FACT I’LL GO STRAIGHT INTO IT AND GO AHEAD AND SAY THAT A LOT OF THINGS ARE OVER-SATURATED. THE MUSIC SCENE? OVER-SATURATED. THIS CLOTHING LABEL BUSINESS? OVER-SATURATED, AND SO ON – ANY AND EVERYONE ARE GOING ON LIKE THEY KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT RUNNING SOMETHING WITHIN A SERIOUS CREATIVE MAKET. THAT’S WHY IT’S A PLEASURE TO BE INVOLVED WITH SUCH A MOVEMENT – ONE THAT HAS MY PERSONAL APPROVAL AND I CAN SAY WILL LAST A LOT LONGER.

ANYWAY, I’VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO DESCRIBE WHAT I DO OR WHAT I’M ABOUT – SO JUST WATCH THIS SPACE.

NOTHING STARTS OFF YOUR MORNING BETTER THAN SLIPPING A PIECE OF BREAD INTO AN EVIL LOOKING, BLACK TOASTER. EACH PIECE OF TOAST THAT FINISHES WILL ADD ONE MORE DARTH VADER HELMET TO THE WORLD. STARE IT DOWN AND THEN EAT IT AS A PART OF YOUR NUTRITIOUS BREAKFAST. DEFEATING THE DARK LORD BEFORE YOU EVEN LEAVE THE HOUSE EVERY MORNING MAKES THE REST OF YOUR DAY SEEM SIMPLE BY COMPARISON.

SO WHEN YOU DON THAT TRAPSTAR CREWNECK IN THE MORNING – YOU CAN GO STRAIGHT AHEAD AND EAT ON SOME STAR WARS-THEMED TOAST – JUST SO YOU’RE SET UP FOR YOUR DAY PROPERLY. JUST AS THE SAYING GOES; “START AS YOU MEAN TO CARRY ON”.

LAST WEEKEND WAS A CRAZY. OUR LONG TIME FAMILY FRIEND, I MEAN LONGTIME FRIEND AS IN SHARING KIT KATS CHOCOLATE BARS ON THE WAY BACK FROM SCHOOL TYPE OF LONG TIME. ENTERED THE UK VERSION OF CONTENDER MMA FIGHT COMP. CALLED FIGHTING HURTS. WHERE THEY SCOUTTED FIGHTERS, ASBO PERMIT HOLDERS AND EX SOLIDERS TO DO BATTLE IN THE CAGE.





DYSON MADE THE FIRST 16 AND THEN CRUSED ON TO THE FINALS COCKY AS EVER. (NOTHINGS CHANGED AYE?)  WHICH LEAD TO HIM MAKING TO THE FINALS AGAINST LEE HARRIS. HE UNFORTUNATELY LOST DUE TO A TECHNICAL. BUT IS STILL THE CAMP IN OUR HEARTS. CHECK THE CLIP OF DYSON AT THE AUDITIONS.

REMEMBER YOUR FIRST GLIMPSE OF YOUR DAD'S DUSTY PLAYBOY YOU FOUND HIDDEN AMONG THE STACKS OF DECREPIT HOUSE AND GARDEN MAGAZINES? OR IS THAT JUST ME. I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE THRILL OF THESE PICTURES BACK THEN, BUT AS TIME WENT ON I DEVELOPED AN APPRECIATION FOR NUDITY AS AN ART FORM. IT'S OFTEN CONTROVERSIAL, EDGY STUFF WHICH CAN PUSH BOUNDARIES, SOME TOO FAR, BUT WE ALL NEED SOMETHING THAT SHAKES THE MUNDANE OUT OF OUR LIVES.

BACK IN THE OLDEN DAYS, AS I LIKE TO CALL ANYTHING WHICH HAPPENED BEFORE I WAS BORN, WHEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE STUDIOS AND AIRBRUSHING, MENS MAGAZINES HAD TO GET A LITTLE MORE CREATIVE. PEEP ABOVE PICTURE, YOU'VE GOT POLITICAL ISSUES, PARENTAL GUIDANCE, LOVEMAKING TIPS, AND PIMPING ALL IN ONE MAGAZINE!

IF NOT FOR THEM, HOW ELSE WOULD YOU FIND OUT WHY SOMEONE WOULD "HUSTLE TO FEED THEIR PIMP"?
