Receiving a hefty dose of malice and negativity is like taking disgusting liquid medicine. Initially it leaves the worst taste in your mouth, but hours later, maybe a day later you’ll be better than you once were.”

We talkin’ real NYC brick and mortar shit.

We talkin’ allegories.

We building New Republics.

Socratic dialogues back and forth with The Stuntorialist.”

2 man Big Pun, a 1 man Slaughterhouse
A 2 album Jay-Z, a 1 nigga Wu-Tang
Young and hungry Mos Def, a conscious rappin Lil Wayne
and I dont care for similarities
Cause Im a pioneer, not a parody
These ain’t bars, this is barbarity
SLR……Clarity”


How soon hath time, the subtle thief of youth,
Stolen on his wing my three and twentieth year!
My hasting days fly on with full career,
But my late spring no bud or blossom sheweth.
Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth,
That I to manhood am arrived so near,
And inward ripeness doth much less appear
That some more timely happy spirits indueth.
Yet be it less or more, or soon or slow,
It shall be still in strictest measure even
To that same lot however mean or high,
Toward which time leads me and the will of heaven.
All is, if I have grace to use it so,
As ever in my great taskmaster’s eye.

Timberland, Clarks, Red Wing, Chippewa, Adams Boots, Bear AKU, Trezeta, Dolomite, Asolo, Scarpa etc. It was the hiking boot/brown shoe era and David Z was the main force behind the trend. I remember the full Wu-Tang clan coming in the store which subsequently led me to spend all of my paychecks on every color wallabee the store had to offer. AZ and Nas put me up on Asolos, Mase and Diddy put me up on Dolomite, and Jay-Z used to sign and leave his old Construction Timbs for me every-time he re-upped with a new pair. I was 14 years old rocking a new pair of boots/shoes/kicks every week and I quickly became the go-to kid for any kicks in my junior high school.”
