Favorite Album of 2010

How could you go wrong with this album. I dont think you can. Yes, it easy to jump on the bandwagon of XXL and The Source, but when I have been a fan of Kanye's since College Dropout to 808 & Heartbreaks it only makes scence. This albums seemed to be a coming of age for Kanye, his hiatus had been the 1st break since his mother passing. Ye' pours his heart out in every song. From "Blame Game" to "Hell of A Life" Kanye's album shows that moving to Hawaii and putting yourself in isolation is a great way to make the album of the year.  The G.O.O.D Friday music drops also served a teaser to the eventual classic. Although the album was leaked early. The masses still went out to buy the album and support Kanye trophy album. Many classic lines: "When you chase the pussy it's a sin/But if it fall in your lap, it's a blessing." ,  "And I know it’s superficial and you say it’s just clothes/But we shopping in that motherfucker and it just closed.". Well calculated moves are what made this album so dope. How could you not drop an album at the end of the year and have it not be considered dope especially since Kanye has been known to be in the spotlight like with Taylor Swift, running on stage acting a fool and oh course the "George Bush, doesn't like black people" statement.

Brotherly Love?



Philadelphia happens to be my favorite football team and this topic has been on my mind for sometime now. Philly really loves it brothers, from McNabb to Allen Iverson to Michael Vick. We all know A.I used to rule the hardwood back in the 90's until he decided he was bigger than then the team and never wanted to show up for PRACTICE!
As for football in the 1999 NFL draft Philly was booood for their 1st round pick of Donavan McNabb, which in the end turned out to be probably the best decision they could have made. This year the love continued by trading their 1st love for their second love and much younger running threat. Yes, the dog fighter its an unfortunate title and I wish it didn't follow him around but he did the crime.
My really reason for this post is to ask: why does Philly always take a chance on the risky brothers, but are ready to ship them out when they not longer can produce. Maybe its sports, but I think for a much as Philly loves you, they can hate you just as fast. It could just be me but let me know what you think. Just on of those opinion posts.

Im Back...

Sorry for the lack of post folks sometimes in like too much of anything is bad for you. I have been working the 9-5 very aggressively and been just living life in so many words. I have been on the internet a lot crafting ways of promoting the Daily Antics brand and overall networking.

I just wanted to show you a few perchases I have picked up along the way...Well I mean while I was networking and writing posts for the my website, having interviews and talking to people about t-shirts. Yes, the t-shirts are still in the works and I know I have been talking about them for some time, but good things happen to those who wait.

The first image is my new Only_NY hoodie that I felt was a necessary buy because the way it brings me back to my to the good old graffiti days. When having a marker, and a few stickers in your backpack were very necessary items to add to the arsenal. 

Fuck/Luck is t-shirt made by the folks at IdeallClothing. I didn't know the meaning behind it initially and later realized, that its not luck that we have its hard work and determination. Luck is one of those things that people clutch on to as a safe belt. I haven't worn it yet for the simple fact that its a white t-shirt and I'm waiting for the right day to rock a solid piece of design like this.

Last but not least this must be probably the illest shirt I have ever seen bought from the folks at Rocksmith. If you listen to a lot of music which I happen to you will have noticed the image at the bottom portrait baby Christopher Wallace, the same baby from Ready To Die as the little white baby that grudge group Nirvana (album cover) once had. Its a clever way of putting two dope album together in one image. 

Its not much but bare with me people I will be back with some of those great images you all know and love I just had to get away for a while and open my eyes to the world like friends, family and those you have yet to me. Stay safe and to those in America happy thanksgiving to all.

Peace,
