Are You Jerkin' ?

Some SoCal high schoolers donned with skinny jeans and Nike SBs (cop yours at Sneak Peek) have started a dance...and really a movement called Jerkin. Check out just one of the many videos on youtube where young cats are jerkin in the middle of the street, school, burger king and some more shit. Oh and the chicks, Pink Dollaz, are goin hard on some nasty rap songs. We gotta see if there's a spike in teenage pregnancy thanks to
Jerkin.


So...we all
dig it here at the shop. Do you?

The Roots x President Obama: Jimmy Fallon Show 03/25/2009

I saw this on the tube last night, while waiting for Prince to perform, and thought it just shows the dopeness of The Roots as well as the President (always sounding Mad "Nigg@rish" (is that a word) and Proper at the same time) (I should probably check with the Boss Lady and see if I am allowed to write that word on the blog.......... Oh Well, She Didn't Answer). Just a little something to make the day go by faster. Enjoy and Until We Speak Again PEACE.

What They Are Wearing ........................................

I'm totally against this, only because I think totally different but to some it helps to see others in clothing before they will take a chance and wear the brand (I'm gonna make this quick before I say something crazy). So we searched the Net and found pics of some of your favorite celebs rocking the brands we sell in the store. I don't know how often we will do this, but please don't assume because there are no pics posted that its not being worn. I challenge everyone to dare to be different, try something new, and set the trends yourself. Enjoy the pics and come and pick yours up today. Until we speak again PEACE.

New Music Monday (On Tuesday): Keri Hilson feat: Kanye West and NeYo

Well I was made aware that the song posted yesterday was not exactly new, but please understand I have only been in Memphis a little over 2 years, which means I wasn't quite hip to Gotti prior to my arrival. Never-the-less the song is dope and we posted it.

So how do we make up for this? By delivering this hot track from Ms. Keri Hilson, Kanye West, and Ne-Yo. The Boss Lady put me on the song sometime last week and I Loved It but when I saw the video it really hit home. Being in a city like Memphis where everyone knows everyone it is often hard escaping you Ex's unless you just turn into a hermit (stay your ass at home, think Uncle Pete from Soul Food the movie). Ummmmm, I was about to get personal on the stores blog but I will save it for now. The video is dope though, good concept, great video work, and it even has humor (imagine Kanye West and Ne-Yo fighting, it would probably be a slapping match because neither of them scare me much, LOL). Anywho watch, enjoy, and remember where you saw it first. Until We Speak Again PEACE.

Who Has The Ear of Sneak Peek: Kid Cudi Gives A Closer Look Into His Music

If you ever want to know what we are listening to at Sneak Peek just pay attention to the blog.

People always wanna know how to make it, whatever industry your in, well below Kid Cudi explains parts of his journey then and how he is making it now (he retired and un-retired last week, just to let yall know). In the words of The Boss Lady "He's A Beast", we have even started hearing this music on Memphis radio stations which is totally crazy, big ups to the Loyals who also DJ (Devin Steel, Lil Larry, Nate Boogie, DJ Houston, DJ Chev, and T. Flowers, etc.). Let Us Know What Yall Think and Until We Speak Again PEACE.

New Music Monday (On Wednesday): Drake - Lust For Life

We really try to keep up (stay current) on Music that not everyone knows about, and even though I have heard the people speaking of Drake, I am very aware that there are still many people who don't know exactly who he is. So (clearing my throat), please allow me to introduce you all to Music Artist/ Songwriter/ Actor, Drake.You think you have heard of him? Probably so, as he has been in the game for some time now, and he has been flooding the mixtape scene with plenty of material for our listening pleasure. Chances are you have heard his voice on some Lil' Wayne songs in the past, and have even seen him pop up on Nickelodeon. Now he is making a name for himself as one of the hottest new artist in what seems to be a type of Renissance for real Hip Hop music. Check out Drake and let us know what you think and Until We Speak Again PEACE.
