"Success has always been the best form of revenge." - MURS
Aspiration, is what comes to my mind when I think about this lifestyle store. I say that because as many of you may or may not know I have plans on making a store out of this blog. I have developed this blog as a stepping stone to further help me reach this goal. Going back on the topic this pioneer shop, which is a shop unlike any other has a great blend of almost anything you can think of. Being that the store is a luxury store, it contains the brands and companies that might cater to the upper class individuals. On the bright side of things, the store also caters to the, more common, middle class as well.
I wish that one of my favorite duo of artist could come out with another album. This favorite group of mine is Gnarls Barkley, made up of Cee-Lo Green and the producer Danger Mouse. I bet some of you might not think you know who the producer of the group is. Although, if I told you he was the key charm of the Gorillaz beats then I bet that would turn on the light bulb for you.
What to say about this guy…? He is from Chicago, IL; I think that is a pretty good starting statement. His name is BJ, which is followed by the words “the Chicago Kid”. And, in his music you can hear how the soulful sounds of the Chicago area have influenced his own sound. This dude is definitely ahead of his time with his music, which seems like it is completely timeless in the least. I believe that his musical vocalism is very similar to Raheem Devaughn, though way more soulful. And, many of you might not know of him from his music, but you have seen him on some Maestro Knows Tour Edition episodes. At the time of some of those episodes I am speaking of he was a background singer for Anthony Hamilton. Although, some of you may know some of the tracks he has appeared on from Diz Gibran’s “Truly Yours” & Dom Kennedy’s “C.N.O.A.T”.
Here are the videos and projects that you have seen him on. Here they are to let you in on the talents that this gentleman bares to the world.
So I have been feeling and seem to very busy lately. It just has come to me that I haven’t had much to ponder on or type about, so I get this urge to type about a snowy day. Seeing as this Northern Midwest area has just gotten some I am going to give you a taste.
P.S. I did not feel like posting that cliche’ New Years post about my resolutions and a bunch of bulls**t that you might not want to hear about.
If only I had time to make the right decisions. Life is not as laid out as you would like it to be, we all know that. From being a young adult to an old man, people always tell us to look at what is in front of you and make it work. Most people in the world are more than unable to do that. Many times while evaluating the situation I have on hand here with Selected Few. I often think about how and what I am affecting by just putting this idea out on the web. And with this evaluating comes a thought process like no other, a drive like no other that makes me seek out the people and things I need to successed.
That is the main reason why I find motivation not from the people who have the fame, but the people who made “something out of nothing”, as the cliché saying goes. I often wonder what goes on in those people’s heads as I sit and look at them for some sort of motivation. It seems to me that I can only do that if I know what I want to do with myself now. So with those words I right now I will only have to sit and focus on me as I climb my way to the top.
P.S. here are the individuals I find as an inspiration and all so aspire to be like in one way or another.
Where to start? First, I know many of you have seen the internet fashion blogs bubbling over the new project that the guys over a Street Etiquette have been cooking. I, for one, am overjoyed and filled with enjoyment at this specific project, that they have been embarking on for quite some time. The reason that this enjoyment is present is because of the fact that it is dope to have contact with a set of individuals that are always on a forward move. By that I mean that, they are driven and will not let others dictate their progress. And, as cliche’ as this might sound, I am the very same way. Whether it be style or in reference to Selected Few I am always in a progressive mood.
I think the hype is necessary for these two groups that I am about to mention. If you disagree, who cares this is not your blog. So as I continue into what I have been listening to lately I must say that both groups names are similar in the nature of their use of using “&”. The first group of the two is named Tegan & Sara. This group is made up of two sisters, who just happened to be twins. Coming out of Vancouver, Canada these ladies are like a great addition to music and everything it involves. I can’t explain enough how pertinent it is to listen to this group, if they were any better I would have to make a serious plan to meet them in person. I was planning on doing that anyway…Haha
How could you not enjoy the realness of a post title like that? Well, I will tell you how you can enjoy it even more. It not only is a nice blog post title it is also a great song title too. That is where I originally got it from. The man that made song the song is named Manfred Mann and this song was first made in the 70’s, as you may be able to tell from the video above. Anyway, I just thought that it was a good little piece of enough so I guess you could officially call this my most random blog post ever. Oh! By the way, two rappers one you may know the other I know you know named GLC and Lil’ Wayne.
Where do I start with this man…? He is one of the most influential people in the fashion industry. Although, many people just don’t realize how much influence he has on people in the very same industry well as long as fashion blogging, finding uniqueness in style, and being a complete pioneer. This man is Scott Schuman, he has been bringing all variations of style to the eyes of many for some time now. And, he has been doing this through his blog named The Sartorialist.
Who doesn’t love a leading lady? Many people might not agree with this, but it has always been a thing of beauty to me. To see ladies as lead singers in bands was always something of great pleasure to see. I know this seems to be a way more different post from many of the others I have posted before. I have always had a thing for ladies who are lead singers in bands, from your Gwen Stefanie’s to your Zoe Kravitz’s. All who are very attractive, that too being the main reason that I like these leading ladies. Most of the time people tend to over look these ladies, just for the fact that it is, for the most part, a male dominated business.
On the other hand, as in anything if you are good then you are good. That statement is simply saying that when you are good, you get acknowledged for being just that. So consider this, an acknowledgement from me, to all of these ladies in the business who leave all of us smiling because of their looks as well as their music. Not to mention, but as many women, these leading ladies are pretty stylish to say the least. Just take a look.
