streets & jackets.

a little something for everyone to think about to get through this harsh and unmerciful winter:

the film "street kings" is coming to theaters on april 11. if you aren't familiar with the plot line it is basically about a distraught veteran cop who has been tangled in a web of implications, in turn, loses trust in his past career and those around him. good cop becomes infected with crazy paranoia? haven't heard that one before... good thing the film stars mr. lonnie rashid lynn jr. (common), jayceon "the game" taylor (who will hopefully be out of jail by the time the movie hits), cedric the entertainer, forest whitaker, and the lead role of keanu reeves... wait a hot second? KEANU REEVES? i was just about to commend the efforts of this film for its hip hop quality, but unfortunately keanu has to ruin all of the film's glory. who knows, maybe this matrix marvel will surprise us (i still won't keep the standard bar high). you can be the judge:




well, at least the film has songs from lupe and wu-tang's rza featured in the trailer. while the movie may not be as hip hop as i hoped for (damn you keanu reeves), the soundtrack definitely has some heavy potential.

[speaking of lupe]
according to pitchfork media, chi-town's inspirational muslim has collaborated with designer dr. romanelli to create reversible jackets that contain the album artwork of "the cool."





can anyone say best valentine's day present ever?
