BAPE x EXIL ID PART 5.SHORT REASONS LOOKING UP TO NIGO

NO LIES, I  LOOK UP TO NIGO. I KNOW THAT I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE BUT I FEEL HIS GRIND NEVER STOPS. THERE IS TO MUCH CRAFT FROM HIS LABELS TO PROVE HE SHUTS DOWN THIS CULTURE. IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THE HYPE OF HIS BRAND BUT BECAUSE OF ALL THE COLLABORATIONS, TV SHOWS,  AND PIECES HE PUTS OUT. IT SEEMS HE NEVER STOPS. IN MY MIND I REALLY WANT TO GET A CHANCE TO WORK WITH EVERYONE I KNOW AND NIGO ACTUALLY DOES THAT, THATS WHY I LOOK UP TO HOMIE. THE SNEAKERS BELOW ARE MY FAVORITE FIGURE OF A BAPE SNEAKER. IT REMINDS ME OF THE SHELLTOP BUT FAR FROM AN ADIDAS SNEAKER. WHEN I FIND MORE INFORMATION ON THIS COLLABORATION I WILL DELIVER TO YOU.  HOMIES TRY TO RE-UP ON THIS ISSUE OF SAMURAI MAG. IT SEEMS SOME EXCLUSIVE BAPE ITEMS ARE INSIDE.



SWRV INDIVISUAL MORNINGS AT THE RANGE

I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED ME TO GRAB THE LITTLE NUT CAMERA I OWN THE MORNING I TOOK THESE PHOTOS.  BUT IT'S ALL GOOD BECAUSE I FEEL I AM GIVING THE WORLD A LOOK INTO OUR SWRV WORLD  AND WHAT GOES ON IN THE MORNING AT THE CRACK OF DAWN . IN THE PICTURES PRESENTED YOU HAVE THE OG SUZI  FILING HER NAILS AS THE CHICKS SAY.THEN THE HOMIE JAMERSON  IS CAPTURING SOME GOODS TO REPLACE AS MONEY FOR OUR SWRV SITE. PAYING WITH MONEY IS NOT ALWAYS THE SOLUTION AT SWRV,OUR GOODS ARE BETTER THAN MONEY. THEN YOU HAVE ME WITH THE CAMERA MAKING A CRAZY GOOD MORNING SPREAD WITH CHOCOLATE FROM A TWIST CANDY BAR WITH ASH AROUND THE FACE. ENJOY THE PICTURES, THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST RARE SWRV PHOTOS.

KAWS IN HONG KONG AWAITING FOR THE "PASS THROUGH"

BRIAN AKA KAWS IS PATIENTLY WAITING FOR  THE "PASSING THROUGH" EXHIBITION IN HARBOUR CITY IN HONG KONG. I FEEL BRIAN DOESN'T FEEL THE ART SCENE  IN AMERICA. HE HAS ONLY A STORE IN JAPAN AND NOT WHERE HE STARTED HIS CRAFT WHICH WAS IN THE STREETS OF NEW YORK. IF THERE WAS A KAWS STORE IN AMERICA THAT WOULD BE DOPE. MAYBE US AMERICAN KIDS WILL SEE A KAWS STORE IN THE NEAR FUTURE BUT RIGHT NOW , IN MY GENERATIONS TIME IT'S A NO FOR SURE. BESIDES THE LOCATION OF HIS WORK  HOMIE KAWS WILL BE SHOWCASING THE BIGGEST KAWS COMPANION AND SIGNING HIS WORK FOR HIS FANS IN HARBOUR CITY. IT'S GOING TO BE DOPE. YOU HONG KONG KIDS ARE KINDA LUCKY, ENJOY.

BENETTON ADS: NEW BORN BABY

 ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I MENTIONED THAT I'M GOING TO SHOW SOME OF THE MOST  INSPIRATIONAL BENETTON ADS THAT STAND OUT TO ME. AFTER LOOKING AT ALL OF THE ADS THAT CATCHES MY EYES THIS "NEW BORN BABY" BENETTON ADVERTISEMENT CAUGHT ME AND SHOCKED ME THE SAME TIME.IT'S WILD  THAT A CLOTHING LINE WOULD REACH THE HEIGHTS OF THIS IMAGE TO ADVERTISE. IT'S DOPE AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYONE REPEAT THIS. IT MAKES YOU THINK ABOUT LIFE IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT WAY. THE VOCAL CORD IS WHAT MAKES THIS BENETTON AD EXTRA REAL, SHIT LOOKS CRAZY . ALOT OF THE ADS THAT HAVE TOUCHED ME FROM BENETTON ARE FROM THE 80'S BECAUSE OF THE STYLES BENETTON WENT IN ON.  THIS IS REAL LIFE AND I TAKE IT MORE IN APPRICIATION.

SILLY THING VISUALS: "SILLY BAPE THING"

AFTER PRESENTING ONE OF THE SILLY BAPE THING COLLABORATION TEES I HAVE A VIDEO SILLY THING HAS WORKED ON FOR THE SILL BAPE THING ADVENTURE. THE VIDEO IS DOPE AS THEY SHOW ANIMATIONS MAKING PRINTED SILLY BAPT THING T-SHIRTS.I'M WAITING FOR THESE DROPS TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE TO SELECTIVE BAPE ACCOUNTS OR THE ONLINE BAPE SHOP. I FEEL THIS IS THE REALEST BAPE COLLECTION THAT RELATES TO ME. I AM FOR SURE GOING TO SHOW YOU THE PIECES OF MY "SILLY BAPE THING" COLLECTIONS IF I AM FAST ENOUGH TO GET MY HANDS ON SOME PIECES. DON'T FORGET TO CLICK PLAY ON THE TUBE BELOW.

SUZI ANALOGUE- QUARTER INCHES (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Q U A R T E R from Suzi Analogue on Vimeo. I N C H E S

SHOWING SUZI ANALOGUE "QUARTER INCHES" VIDEO WILL FLIP ALOT OF VIEWERS MIND.  NOTHING IS IN THE NORMAL WITH HOMIE SUZI, SHE  KEEPS BRINGING THE HEAT WITH EVERY PIECE OF CRAFT SHE GETS HER HANDS ON. SEEING HER SPEND A NUMBER OF HOURS ON HER EVERYDAY WORK IS ONE INSPIRATION I TAKE PRIDE IN SEEING. LAST WEEK WHEN THE HOMIE DANNIE PHANTOM CAME TO COP UP SOME SWRV GEAR HE MENTIONED HOW MUCH SUZI IS A BIG INSPIRATION TO THE MUSIC HE CREATES .HE CONTINUES TO LOOK UP TO HER HE STATED. MUSIC IS CHANGING LIVES ON A DAILY AND SHE HAS THE POWER LEADING ALOT OF PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THIS VIDEO IS DOPE AND DIRECTED BY JAMERSON MORRIS. BE SURE TO PRESS PLAY, I DON'T WANT YOU TO MISS OUT ON THE ILLMATIC MOVEMENT.

SWRV NIGHTS. SWRV MOBBIN. SOME SWRV ILLMATIC SIGNATURES

 SWRV IS  IN FULL EFFECT. OUR NIGHTS NEVER DIE OUT OF ILLMATAIC GAS. THE SWRV NIGHT PICTURES ARE FROM LAST THURSDAY IN THE STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA TRAVELING FROM THE PYT BURGER SPOT, WALKING PAST "SILK CITY" , THEN BACK TO OUR ART STUDIO. WE GOT CAUGHT IN TRAFFIC TAKING SOME OF THE MOST RANDOM ILLED OUT PICTURES WHICH I WANTED TO PRESENT #BOOOOM.  THE "MOBBIN PICTURES" ARE ALL ARTS & CRAFT FROM THE HOMIE JAMERSON  AKA "BEEF" THAT WAS  TAKEN PLACE EARLY IN TH AM. AS YOU SEE OUR NAMES SPRAYED YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW IT IS . EVERYTHING IS  MOVING IN A POWERFUL DIRECTION AND WE ARE DOPED OUT IN OUR WORLD. THE "SIGNATURE PIECE" PICTURES ARE TAKEN BY ME TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT WE AT SWRV ARE INTO AND OUR PROJECTS. AS YOU SEE ON THE TABLE IT'S THE "JEAN CREATION", TWO "ARMY VEST CREATIONS", AND THE "COMIC GLADIATOR" I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON.  MCM ON THE TABLE JORDANS, NIKE "AIR YEZZY'S, AND TI$A MCM ARE ALL ITEMS WE FAVOR. WE'RE GOIN TO ROCK THIS CULTURE. WE'RE JUST GETTING WARMED UP. WELCOME TO SWRV.

 

VANACHE MIXTAPE "REMEMBER THE FACE"

VANACHE IS ONE OF THE KIDS AROUND THE  PHILADELPHIA CITY MAKING SURE HE IS SEEN AND STAYING ON HIS GRIND. WHEN I FIRST MET BRYANT I WAS BACKSTAGE AT THE TLA LOCATED ON SOUTH STREET. HE 'S A GOOD DUDE WITH NOT JUST GREAT TUNES BUT HOST A SERIES OF MOVEMENTS. HE'S SIDE BY SIDE WITH DJ PHISH HOSTING AN EVENT AT RAVEN LOUNGE BY THE NAME OF "SUPER DOPE". THE RAVEN LOUNGE IS LIVE EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT BUT THE BAD SIDE OF THAT IS THAT YOU HAVE TO BE 21+ SO THE YOUNGER AGE BRACKET SUFFERS. HOMIE BRYANT, ARTIST NAME VANACHE IS ALSO A BLOGGER. THIS DUDE HAS SO MUCH GOING ON, ALL THIS HARD WORK WILL DEFINITELY PAY OFF IN THE NEAR FUTURE. BESIDES THE MOVEMENTS PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND TUNE INTO  HIS NEW MIXTAPE "REMEMBER THE FACE". IT'S NINE TRACKS OF BUMPING BEATS WITH DOPE LYRICS.I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO MISS OUT ON YET ANOTHER DOPE PHILADELPHIAIA ARTIST.

SILLY BAPE THING GENERAL HEADS TEE. VINTAGE STEEZE

IT'S ILLMATATIC THE HOMIE NIGO AND SILLY THING ARE BRINGING BACK THE VINTAGE BAPE COLLECTIONS. BEFORE BAPE WAS IN MY BRAIN "A BATHING APE" USE TO DESIGN TEES WITH ALOT OF NIGO'S FRIENDS PRINTED ONTO THE SHIRTS.I'M WAITING TO SEE WHATS NEXT IN STORE.

RHU & RHO: "THE BARE OF RHU". AWAITING 10.10.10

RHU & RHO, THE  YOUNG LOS ANGELES BROTHER AND SISTER HAVE THEIR AUDIENCE PATIENTLY AWAITING OCTOBER 10, 2010. THE CATCH ABOUT THIS MOVEMENT IS THAT NO ONE IS SURE OF WHAT THEY ARE TUNED IN FOR BUT WE ALL HAVE THE IDEA IT'S GOING TO BE DOPE. ON THE RHU & RHO ONLINE SITE THESE TWO OFFER DOPE CRAFT AND POST THE RIGHT WORK, IN MY OPINION.THE DATE OF 10.10.10 RHU AND HIS SISTER RHO WILL DELIVER A VARY OF ITEMS FROM THEIR CAMPAIGN WHICH THESE TWO HAVE WORKED HARD ON FOR A LONG TIME AS RHU STATES. TALKING WITH THE HOMIE RHUIGI THROUGH FACEBOOK ABOUT OUR CRAFT AND SITES IT SEEMS WE HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN WE THOUGHT.

The Bare Rhu from ViDoL on Vimeo.

COMES TO IT ME AND THE KID RHU ARE FAMILARE WITH THE HOMIE JAMERSON, 1/3 OF THE SWRV TEAM. WITH THE PERSONAL KNOWING OF JAMERSON, FAMILY TITLES HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED AS TO WHY I COME TO SUPPORT THIS MOVEMENT AND ALONG WITH THE FACT IT'S DOPE. COME 10.10.10 RHU & RHO ARE GOING TO ILL THIS CULTURE OUT WITH THEIR CRAFT. IN THE VIEMO PROVIDED RHU & RHO ARE PRESENTING "THE BARE OF RHU". A SHORT FILM OF LETTING THE PEOPLE SEE "THE KING OF NOTHING" AS HE GRABS HIS CLOTHING AND ILL ACCESSORIES. RHU ALSO SWRV ON THEM A LITTLE BY MAKING ARM BANDS OUT OF SIMPLE WHITE MATERIAL. THE FILM IS DOPE MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IT OUT.

ROC STAR x STUSSY 10TH ANNIVERSARY VIDEO

LAST WEEK I PRESENTED THE IMAGE OF THE STUSSY x ROC STAR VARSITY JACKET COLLABORATION WHICH CELEBRATED ROC STAR'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY .TODAY I HAVE THE VIDEO COMPLEMENTING ROC STAR'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY JUST TO GIVE AN INSIDE LOOK OF HOW THE BRAND GETS DOWN WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR MUSIC.THE VISUALS CAPTURED IN THE VIDEO ARE ON POINT CATCHING ROC STAR'S DJ DARUMA AND DJ MAAR  KILLING THE SCENE AT A STADIUM HOSTED BY STUSSY.  ROC STAR'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY DROPS ARE HIGHLY ON POINT WITH THE RED/BLACK AND WHITE/BLACK STUSSY VARSITY JACKETS ALSO INCLUDING THE TEE'S. THESE  DROPS ARE DOPE BUT ON THE "BAD NEWS" SIDE FOR US AMERCIAN KIDS WE ARE SALTY FALLING SHORT BECAUSE ROC STAR'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY APPAREL ARE ONLY SOLD IN JAPAN. AT LEAST WE GET TO SEE WHATS DOPE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD AND SEE PEOPLE THE DEXPISTOLS "ROC STAR" IT OUT.
