As promised, our Trunk Show dished out more than free Bacardi (we finished a whole case in two hours). We unveiled some of our midsummer releases. Just as the calendar flips to August you can trump around town, go pool hopping, have a few more cookouts, and make that final run with the Phillies like the winsome and ambrosial little gadabout you are. Head over to our store and buy them.
We’re, like, totally getting faded, dude, and it’s not off some of that “Mary Jane.” We prefer to suck in the noxious fumes of freshly printed silk-screen ink. So, in one of those “moments,” we slathered a t-shirt with a large, perforated, gradient blob of ink in the shape of our bridge. Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty to go around, as this is the first in a series of many. Flick on the black-light and get ready to have an “experience.”
Now that AI skirted out of town on the first plane to the crisp Rocky Mountains, it’s your turn to take over the spotlight, hog the ball, and take thirty jumpers a game. We’ve updated our Superstar design with the red, white, and blue of our beloved Sixers. Whether they drudge through the bottom of the ranks again, or hoist a trophy in what will surely be a moment of glory, the Sixers will always be our Superstars. Awww.
Sometimes, a drop of the tropics can really hit the spot. While you’re tipping back glass after glass of freshly spiked lemonade, squeezing the delicious nectar of sweet tropical fruits down your throat, and getting ready to take a nice dip in the pool, be sure to cover up with our newest Brand Imperial t-shirt. It’ll help protect your skin from the damaging sun, leaving you looking fresher, younger, and more beautiful.
We’re dropping things down a note to hit you with that smooth, sexy, and bassy voice. The [ 2 one 5 ] Five Panel Hat will croon to you sweetly about tender love and affection. They even feature two vents on the side because you know things are about to get steamy. There’s no need to talk, just harmonize with us.

Nestled among the dingleberries of the City Paper’s Events Section lies a little brief mention of our upcoming Trunk Show. Burried among the bar calendars and ads, our write up will probably go overlooked, but we’ve been pushing it hard (like that Rick Ross dude) here in our blog and Dev79’s been doing his best to help get the word out. You too, can help get the word out by telling your friends, family, loved ones, unloved ones, ex-boyfriends/ex-girlfriends, and random strangers that the [ 2 one 5 ] and J Shoes Trunk Show will be, as t he cool kids say, off the chain. Also, bear in mind that the City Paper got the time wrong. It’s at 6-8pm. WE REPEAT, THE TIME IS WRONG HERE: IT’S 6-8pm.

Watch this. Zach Galifianakis made his own version of Kanye West’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.” So much better than the original.

According to CNN, Lil Wayne wasn’t putting his art school education to use, instead, he was looking to play Quick Draw McGraw because dude got bucked for weapons possession. Not to be out done, Ja Rule was arrested for the same charge for the same weapon shortly before Weezy. Also, Weezy was smoking weed on the street when police stopped him and found a 40 caliber pistol on him.

HipHopSite reports that 50 Cent has been doing some jawing, most likely because his upcoming album, Curtis, is set to drop on Sept. 11th.** He takes some shots at some notable names, including one of our all time favorites Ghostface. The shots mostly have to do with sales numbers, you know, not mic skills or anything really relevant. It’ll be interesting to see if Mr. Cent’s first week numbers, and his total in general, suffer a drop from his last release. Anyway, here’s what Curtis had to say.
On Lil Wayne and his numerous guest spots:
“A whore sleeps with whoever pay them. So we gotta call him a whore - if he just goes with whoever.”
On Nas being “weird”:
“You have people that are extremely book smart that lack common sense so they don’t know what’s going to affect their audience. Nas is a really smart guy. He reads books constantly. Conceptually, I think that’s what made him drift away from what his initial audience enjoys from him and why he’s not hot right now.”
On Cam’s commercial failure and Jim Jones:
“This is why I tell him Jim Jones should be the boss of Dipset and now you see Jim Jones say he’s not fuckin’ with Cam…You’re as hot as your last hit record. His last hit was fuckin’ “Horse & Carriage”. He’ll make comparisons to Lloyd Banks’ sales with Jimmy Jones’ sales. So what? Is my worst your best? Why are you not comparing yourself to me? Considering he’s supposed to be Dipset’s boss, while I’m supposed to be the headman for G-Unit. Maybe it’s because he sold 200,000 his last album and I sold 9.8 million.”
On Chamillionaire cleaning up his mouth:
“Let him go sell gospel records, if he’s so fuckin’ righteous.”
On Ghostface being a “failure”:
“In my camp, a couple hundred thousand records is a failure. From my perspective, if I sell 200,000 copies, after selling 12 million records, it’s considered terrible…But if you’re on a major record label, and he [Ghostface] is, and you sell a couple hundred thousand records, that was a failure. Your fuckin’ photos and videos aren’t recouped with 200,000 copies sold.”
** - Kanye’s new album is set to drop the same day. Also, Jay-Z’s The Blueprint dropped on Sept. 11h 2001. I have a big Jay-Z poster with the previous dates for the The Blueprint crossed out and “Sept. 11th” really big with “The Streets Couldn’t Wait” under it. And yes, I went out and bought the album that day.

Keep your eyes peeled as Ubiq will be bringing out some sneakers they had stowed away. They’re giving you a second chance, just in case you missed them the first time around. They’ve even got some leftover Marc Jacobs Vans for you to feed on. They’re a personal favorite of mine.

Phillydelphians DJ Jazzy Jeff and Peedi Peedi (previously known as Peedi Crack) got together and laid down a track. We’re feeling it. Listen Here.
