Jordan Phase 23 Hoops II

Amongst the brand new Jordan Brand models in the works for July 2013 is the Jordan Phase 23 Hoops II. The original Jordan Phase 23 Hoops was a model born back in 2011, so it’s a little bit strange to see the peripheral b-ball shoe show up with a sequel after so long. This new design gets rid of most of the perforations that gripped the upper of the last iterations, offering up some much cleaner paneling across the tumbled leather sections. See more below and watch for the Jordan Phase 23 Hoops II to show up a couple months from now.

Culture Shock Fresh Tour



Yes sir, Here's the first stop on our tour, June 1st at Cafe Sor, Torggata Oslo Norway. We're going to threw down, Zeps on the mic, Brown13 on the one and two's and Sueworks on the visuals. It's going to be a real hip Hop event.

WAKE UP PEOPE: Lauryn Hill

The name of Lauryn Hill’s breakout album was The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill but it now appears that the powers that be would like her to record a new album called The Re-Education of Lauryn Hill. After appearing in court for tax evasion, Hill was sentenced to three months in jail PLUS she must attend “counseling” due to her “conspiracy theories”.

 

According to the IBTimes, Hill told the court: “I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them. I had an economic system imposed on me.” Furthermore, Hill also believes that artists are being oppressed by (what the article calls) “a plot involving the military and media”. Because of these statements, Hill was ordered to undergo “counseling”, which is a way of saying that she is mentally ill and that she needs some sort of re-programming session regain “sanity”. In 2012, Hill published a thoughtful letter describing the corruption, the oppression and the control of the music industry and her desire to escape it. In one part of the letter, Lauryn states It was this schism and the hypocrisy, violence and social cannibalism it enabled, that I wanted and needed to be freed from, not from art or music, but the suppression/repression and reduction of that art and music to a bottom line alone, without regard for anything else. Over-commercialization and its resulting restrictions and limitations can be very damaging and distorting to the inherent nature of the individual. I Love making art, I Love making music, these are as natural and necessary for me almost as breathing or talking. To be denied the right to pursue it according to my ability, as well as be properly acknowledged and compensated for it, in an attempt to control, is manipulation directed at my most basic rights! These forms of expression, along with others, effectively comprise my free speech! Defending, preserving, and protecting these rights are critically important, especially in a paradigm where veiled racism, sexism, ageism, nepotism, and deliberate economic control are still blatant realities!!!”

 (See my article entitled Lauryn Hill’s Tumblr Letter on the Music Business for the full letter).

 Despite what mainstream media reports, Hill is not mumbling incoherent “conspiracy theories” but is rather speaking the truth. Her statements are a result of her first hand experience within the industry and her desire to not be part of its madness. Hill’s “theories” are simply an intelligent person’s clear analysis of a situation. However, as American society turns into a real life version of the novel 1984, speaking the truth is increasingly considered to be a mental illness – one that needs to be treated and fixed. Does free speech still exist if saying the wrong words leads to a mandatory visit to a “mind doctor”?

 I’ll just let Lauryn sing the final words:
