Your favorite “workaholic” graces the cover of Complex.

On handling beef himself:
“You’d expect me to pay somebody to do it? You supposed to be able to do anything in this world. That’s what Martin Luther King told me. He ain’t never put a specific on what to [do]. He said you can do anything. ‘Kill’ falls under that.”

On his lifestyle:
“If I was born behind a desk, boy, you should just have killed me. It’s kind of like a nigga with no dick living in the Playboy mansion.”

On the Clipse:
“I thought the whole ‘Mr. Me Too’ video was about me, to tell you the damn truth. They think I want to be like them. I’m on a million-dollar bus going around the world charging people from $50,000 to $150,000 for verses, and I got 77 songs in magazines and I got a billion more. Do the math; you think I’m trying to be like you? No sir.”

Ha! Love him or hate him, dude is actually kinda funny.

Soviet fashion is on the come up. The NY Times talks with the “Commissar of Soviet Kitsch”, Denis Simachev.

…Young and trendy Muscovites are in the throes of nostalgia for the staples of Soviet childhoods, relics of a time when the U.S.S.R. was at the height of superpower status.

That may explain why one of the most popular fashion designers this fall is Denis Simachev, who is selling overcoats fastened with hammer-and-sickle buttons, gold jewelry minted to look like Soviet kopecks and shirts festooned with the Soviet coat of arms, complete with embroidered ears of wheat.

“People in their 30s see these kinds of symbols as reminders of happy memories, like going to pioneer camp where they lived together, ate breakfast together and played sports,” said Mr. Simachev, 33, who wears his hair in a Samurai-style ponytail. He insists he is no Communist — for one thing, his overcoats sell for about $2,100 and his T-shirts for about $600.

I’m not sure how practical these hoodies would be for an active, non-shuffling iPod user, but, the design itself is pretty cool.

From the designer:

Hoodies are a youth icon, widely recognizable by people, despite their style. There are alot of other cases for Mp3 players which are all similar and uninteresting.

ipod hoodies were created by a small home grown company in the U.K. The aim was to keep your Mp3 player protected in something unique and eye catching. Hoodies will transform your ipod into something more individual!

In case you were sleeping, Mick Boogie’s latest mixtape, “Dillagence”, featuring Busta Rhymes and the late great J. Dilla, made its way onto the interwebs today. From what I can tell so far (first listen), its a pretty solid effort. Not all the beats featured are exactly new, but hey, I’m not complaining. If you still need to get a copy for yourself, make your way here.

It’s a sad, sad day at Redskins Park.
My deepest condolences go out to his family, coaches and teammates.

More Streetwear madness.
As I’ve said before, I’m no longer surprised or amused by some of the things coming out of the streetwear game today, but these two shirts definitely caught me off guard. They are, to say the very least, interesting. I’ll just leave it at that…*smh*
