!∆! CREATIVITY: BAPE BELTS INTO BAPE RINGS & DECISIONS !∆!
CREATING THE BAPE RING OUT OF A BAPE BELT WAS A WISE CREATION. AND BY THE JUDGING OF ALL THE TUMBLRS I SNEAK UPON I FEEL THE BAPE RING IS PROBABLY THE FIRST CREATIVE SIGNATURE THE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN OF MINE. NO STREES, I KNOW THE EARLY M.C.R. FOLLOWERS HAVE BEEN WATCHING ME GROW AND YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT I AM CAPABLE OF. THERE WILL BE SO MANY MORE CREATIONS I WILL HAVE TO OFFER AND TRUST ME THEY'RE WORTH EVERYTHING. I HAVE MADE A DECISION WHERE I WILL BE ABLE TO FINALLY OFFER ALL OF THE "MIND OF COOL RUMORS" CREATIVITY THEY WILL NEVER FORGET. WITH TIME I WILL GRADUALLY BUILD UP THIS PROJECT AND TAKE YOU STEP BY STEP WHEN THE FINAL DECISION HAS BEEN DECIDED. IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME MIND OF COOL RUMORS. WE'VE FINALLY BEEN CALLED BY THE CREATIVE GODS!
!∆! ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: ANDY WARHOL EATS A HAMBURGER !∆!
I SIMPLY UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR THIS VIDEO AND THE MEANING OF THE FILM WITH ANDY WARHOL EATING A HAMBURGER AND DOING SIMPLY NOTHING ELSE. ANDY WARHOL IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED ARTIST TO EVER CREATE MODERN ART AND AN UNFORGETTABLE LEGEND WITH HIS PRESENCE STAMPED IN ALMOST EVERY CREATIVE ARTIST WE'VE SEEN IN THE 20TH & 21STCENTURY. CREATING THIS FILM WAS NOT TO ADVERTISE HAMBURGERS OR TO SHOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO GET KETCHUP OUT OF A WEIRD SHAPE JAR. THIS FILM IS SIMPLY TO KEEP ANDY WARHOL ALIVE IN THE MILLIONS PEOPLE ANDY TOUCHED CREATIVE WISE AND THE PEOPLE HE INSPIRED. SURE THIS VIDEO MIGHT BE USELESS TO MAYBE A HUNDRED PEOPLE THAT CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO BUT FOR SOME IT BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES AND GIVES MANY TO KEEP ONE OF THE BEST ARTIST WE WILL EVER SEE UNFORGOTTEN AND ALIVE.

!∆! SWRV: 93' REEBOK "BLACK TOP" TEE !∆!
THE REEBOK "BLACK TOP" TEE IS NO JOKE. WHEN SOMEONE TOLD YOU TO MEET THEM AT THE BLACK TOP TO PLAY SOME BASKETBALL IN 1993 YOU KNEW THAT MATCH WOULD BE HARDCORE TO THE MAX. REEBOK CREATED THEIR OWN BASKETBALL BALL MOVEMENT WITH THEIR NEW "BLACK TOP" COLLECITONS. BLACK TOP GAMES INVOLVED NO RULES & NO FOULS. IF YOUR ON THE "BLACK TOP" YOUR PLAYING STREET BALL LIKE KING. LIL SHORTY AND SINDBAD KNOWS WHAT THE "BLACK TOP" GAMES ARE ALL ABOUT. AT OUR SWRV SHOP THIS "BLACK TOP" COLLECTIBLE TEE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR LONG. BECAUSE OF THE "VINTAGE STEEZE" IT FITS LIKE A MEDIUM BUT IT'S KIND OF SMALL. THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS PROVIDED SHOWS THE HISTORY OF THE "BLACKTOP" MOVEMENT WHICH REEBOK CREATED.

FELT LIKE I SEEN SOMETHING WORTH IT'S WILD. IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE THIS 93' REEBOK "BLACK TOP" TEE CLICK HERE.
!∆! VINTAGE PHOTOS OF THE BAPE GENERAL HIMSELF "NIGO" !∆!
THE PHOTOS PROVIDED ARE CAPTURES OF A BATHING APE'S GENERAL AND FOUNDER TOMOAKI NAGAO AKA"NIGO". THESE ARE VERY RARE PHOTOS AND I'M TOTALLY SURE NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THESE PICTURES EVER. THE PHOTOS LOOK AS IF THEY WERE TAKEN IN THE EARLY 90'S WHEN THE WHOLE BAPE MOVEMENT STARTED IN THAT SPECIAL BACK ALLEY IN HARAJUKU,TOKYO. WITHIN A FEW PHOTOS YOU'LL SEE NIGO's POWERFUL CREATIVE PARTNER IN CRIME HIROSHI FUJIWARA. NOT TO MANY PEOPLE CAN TELL WHO's WHO WHEN THEY'RE STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER, IT'S EVEN WORSE IN THESE PHOTOS BECAUSE THE TWO ARE AT A YOUNGER AGE. SOME OF THESE PHOTOS ARE TAKEN OUT OF MAGAZINE BOOKLETS AND SOME ARE STRAIGHT FROM THE NET. I WONDER WHO CAN TELL THE TWO APART. AND JUST TO GIVE A HEAVY HEADS UP THE TOP PHOTO IS A VINTAGE PICTURE OF NIGO.
