Serengeti...

 Rolling Stone Video       
 New Music Report: Serengeti

Chicago native indie artist Serengeti, whose music many mainstream radio listeners may not be familiar with is definitely worth recognition. His sound is very hip-hop soul but his delivery has a comedic undertone that sometimes surpasses the density of his lyrics. Many of his songs reference his hometown, which makes his tracks fun to listen to even if you aren’t well oriented with the city of Chicago. Though the video features Serengeti as a new artist he can be considered a connoisseur of his craft. His first solo album “Dirty Flamingo” released in 2002 and he has since then released eleven more projects, along the way collaborating with producers Polyphonic and Hi-Fidel and being the featured lyricist in the indie project Yoome alongside Renee Louise. Check the video and follow his music...trust me when I say it’ll be well worth your time!...Be Original and Get Old

Vibram FiveFingers...

2009-09-04T14:43:00.005-04:00

The shoes are odd enough but to add to the madness the brand is titled FiveFingers rather than...I don't know...FiveTOES maybe? For those minimalist enthusiast who have this fixation with not putting any shoes on...I can see how these shoes may seem like an innovative and profound idea. But for the other 90% of human beings who feel that the normal rubber sole and string laces do the trick I truly see no purpose in the creation of this shoe. Either way, moderately priced at $75. - $95. I may be forced to buy a pair and try them out...Stay Active and Get Old

I'm BACK!

2009-09-04T14:02:00.003-04:00

Kobe/Lebron Puppets...

2009-05-14T21:27:00.002-04:00

"Twenty dollar Chinese food!! Whao!!"....Lmao I couldn't help but to laugh after seeing this commercial while I was watching last night's NBA Playoff broadcasts. And though I understand the play on Lebron's powder ritual...I also couldn't help but to find a strong correlation to "the other white powder" especially when they're shown sitting in mounds of white dust????? Regardless the commercial is classic so I had to share it...Route Lakers and Get Old.

New From Sim-PLEX: Take You There (Odessy)...

2009-05-05T20:40:00.002-04:00

Newly released visual experience for the song Take You There (Odessy) by Sim-PLEX. This track is featured on their forthcoming mini-mixtape "All That and Then Some." The track has a really mellow vibe with a creative delivery from both Jazz and Marx (Group Members). There is also an underlying metaphoric message in the song so pay close attention to the lyrical content...Support Sim-PLEX and Get Old.

Yeezy's!!!...

2009-05-04T22:07:00.005-04:00

Though I'm really upset about not getting either pair (camp outs and raffles for a spot in line are not for me), my guy Lefty from High End was recently featured on KanyeUniverseCity.com in a segment about sightings of people sporting the new Nike sneaker (CLICK TO SEE). He was pictured wearing the most recently released black/black colorway also featured in this Levi Maestro video that I just felt inclined to share. Enjoy...High End and Get Old.

Update and Marty McFly Cont'd...

2009-05-04T20:12:00.005-04:00

Apologies for the hiatus, but Old Man T is back from the stresses of life and in the full swing of things. The layout has changed and will probably be updated again before the end of the week. In the mean time my guy Marty McFly sent me the track, "Lifestyle" from his forthcoming EP "The Beautiful Things Create Lifestyle" produced by Melo-X, which is also the same song featured on the DJ Treats X SneakTip mixtape I posted earlier. The track has a smooth soulful sound and Marty actually delivers a legitimate message contrary to most of the material on your local radio statoins. His content and delivery will also make you run the track back a few times over...Support Marty McFly and Get Old.

Flash Back...

2009-04-15T23:23:00.006-04:00

One of my favorite shows growing up by far had to be In Living Color. Besides having a cast that would turn out to be packed full of stars, the humor was edgy and creative. I ran across this piece on youtube the other day and if you're like me you'll agree when I say that if the show Yo Momma was anything like Dirty Dozens it would still have a prime spot on MTV right now...Laugh and Get Old

Marty McFly...

2009-04-14T22:30:00.003-04:00

New Mixtape DJ Treats: Sneaktip Allstars featuring up and coming artists that will surely make noise in the near future. Very big shout out to my dude Marty McFly whose track Lifestyle, produced by Melo-X landed a spot at track 6. Much success to all of the artists but definitely make sure to show Marty your support.

A Word From Pablo...

2009-04-11T22:31:00.002-04:00

Alive from 1881-1973 one of the most creative men to grace the earth with many inspirational words, Pablo Picasso quotes..."My mother said to me, "If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope." Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso."...Be Yourself and Get Old

A new installment I'm starting based on some inspiration from Londyn (check out LondynKouture.blogspot.com). From time to time I'll just post who my current industry crush is and what lady of entertainment I'm feeling at the time whether it be for her looks, her body of workno pun intended, or something about them that I found particularly interesting.

Ran across this video and watched the entire thing before realizing it was a little over a half hour long. Piece of a documentary about the art of sampling and beat making with some really good cameo's from Common and Mos Def...Get Old And Ya Don't Stop!

2009-03-18T17:45:00.003-04:00
