1 Ruff Ryders are Back!

If you have to ask who the Ruff Ryders are, you're not a real fan of hip-hop. Earlier this week Jadakiss released a video featuring Swizz Beatz, Drag-On, Styles P, Sheek Louch, Eve, and DMX. This is the "Who's Real Remix...Ruff Ryders Edition". Ruff Ryders Ent. was founded in 1988 by Chivon Dean, and her brothers Dee, and Waah, uncles to the world famous hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz. Personally it's a good look, back in the day when I first was getting interested in music, the Ruff Ryders were on the map like crazy. A Ruff Ryders Reunion album was said to be released in 2008 by Swizz Beats, but unfortuantely it was moved back, the new scheduled release is sometime in 2010.

0 Jay-Z Delivers Another #1

Once again, we can say congratulations to Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter. Hov has once again hit #1 on the Billboard 200 with his new album, the Blueprint 3. Even with the album leaking a week prior to the release, Jay-Z still managed to make it to the top (like always) leaving just him and the Beatles with the most number one albums on the Billboard 200 in its 53 year history. With the Blueprint 3 hitting #1, he surpassed Elvis in the most number one albums. With the Beatles sitting up at 19, it’s almost impossible for Jay-Z to reach that, but who knows…this guy does big things.


Here’s a list of Jay-Z’s number one albums…

1998, "Vol. 2...Hard Knock Life" (five weeks)

2000, "Vol. 3...Live and Times of S. Carter"

2000, "The Dynasty Roc La Familia (2000--)"

2001, "The Blueprint" (three weeks)

2002, "The Blueprint 2: The Gift and the Curse"

2003, "The Black Album" (two weeks)

2004, "Unfinished Business," R. Kelly & Jay-Z

2004, "MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups Presents: Collision Course," Jay-Z/Linkin Park

2006, "Kingdom Come"

2007, "American Gangster"

2009, "The Blueprint 3"

1 ATTN Sneakerheads: December 23, we promise!

Well, for those who have been anticipating the Space Jam 11’s to release on November 23…stop. Whatever the deal was, they’ve decided to push the release date back a month because the US date didn’t coincide with the same day as Asia was supposed to drop them; which was November 23. So those who’ve been waiting on their seat for these will have until the holidays. December 23 is the new date to anticipate, so we’ll keep you posted on these.




Stay up, remain F.A.D.E.D.

1 Nike Air Structure Triax 91 | Spring 2010

These shoes could easily be called the sprite structures, because they take thier colorway right from a sprite can.With the Structure already set as a regular release with Nike Sportswear, its no surprise that more and more colorways are seeing their way to store racks. This model for next Spring features a a combo of patent leather and mesh on the upper and accents of deep blue and lime green all over the rest of the shoe which gives it a refreshing look, sure to look nice on feet in Spring of 2010. via GLLTN

1 Kanye Apologizes - Will His Career Be The Same?

The aftermath of Kanye's VMA stunt has been haunting him and his career...and it's only been two days since the incident.  But Mr. West doesn't want this situation to hold him down from his fans who have seemed to display mixed reactions to his debacle.  Kanye has sent out several apologies online and it has even been rumored that he is doing a song with Taylor Swift to make up for what he did. 

Many believe he can't make up for this one.

Below, we have video of Kanye on the Jay Leno show a day after the VMA's, showing his regret, sympathy and apologies. 

Take a look, and let us know whether you feel Kanye's career will ever be the same after this...

0 Two New Curren$y Music Videos: Elevator Music, 16 Switches

Take a look at Curren$y the Hot Spitta with his new video, elevator music. I am a true fan of this dude, and this song as well. A nice, smooth track to get F.A.D.E.D. to, literally. It may not be the BET quality, but it's a funny look. Check it out and tell us what you think.

This second video is a little more easy to vibe to. Curren$y's style always makes the track easy to listen to and although the video seems underground, it's still nice. Check it out.

1 Pharrell's Keeping it real..

Earlier this week during fashion night out, MTV spoke with Pharrell co-founder of one of my favorite clothing lines Billionaire Boys Club. Notice this is how he's just keeping it real to the people thanking them for being a fan, and supporting the line. Pharrell is personally one of my idol. This is what I hope F.A.D.E.D. can one day be!

0 NB Madness! Pt. 2

If you haven’t taken a look at our previous post in the New Balance Madness, click here to check it out…

The New Balance look is starting to gain more attention as they keep designing new styles that attract all of the sneakerheads. This time, we are bringing you 3 more new looks from the NB collection. This includes the Feral Creation Collection and the 875 Concepts Collection.

The 875 Concepts Collection also features the 875 style which is comparable to a high-top version of the 1500 shoe (which is basically your typical New Balance shoe). These Concepts include: full grain leather upper, pigskin leather lining (more luxurious and breathable that a comparable synthetic product), and tongue tag.

The Feral Creation Collection was included in out last NB post, and this time we are informing you of the Black Crow and Peacock design (the other two are the Mouse and the Lion). The Black Crow is entirely black and the upper is crafted from a mix of nubuck, leather and faux pony hair. The Peacock incorporates the blue and green from peacock feathers into a gradient blue/turquoise/green fade on the rear, mixed in with black nubuck on the front. These two were just released yesterday so they are available if you look.

Also recently released...

Stay with us for the New Balance Madness Pt. 3 post.

Also, Stay F.A.D.E.D…
