Welcome Home John Forte...

http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhf9PXH2KL43csSshO

In 2000, Forté was arrested at Newark International Airport after accepting a briefcase containing $1.4 million worth of liquid cocaine; he was charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and conspiracy to distribute. He was convicted and sentenced to the mandatory minimum 14 years after being found guilty, and incarcerated at FCI Loretto, a low-security federal prison in central Pennsylvania.
Carly Simon and her son Ben Taylor have been advocates on Forte's behalf, believing he did not receive a fair trial, fought for an appeal of the mandatory minimum drug laws that remove a judge’s discretion in a case; they met Forté through Taylor's cousin who was a classmate of Forté's at Phillips Exeter.
With the help of Senator Orrin Hatch, Forté's prison sentence was commuted by President George W. Bush on November 24, 2008. He was released from prison four weeks later December 22.

Forté recently recorded a cover of Kanye West's "Homecoming" with Talib Kweli. In the song, he discusses the issues surrounding his jail time.

FRESH: Sabit NYC

In 2007, a friend of mine sold me a FRESH black & white jack bubble-vest. It caught the attention of others EVERY time I wore the vest. I didn't care for the designer's name until everyone started to ask me about it LOL. Now I can't get enough of the FRESH gear

SABIT!!! http://www.sabitnyc.com/

This line has created a HEAVY buzz on the streets as well as in the music industry....

Sabit, which is the Japanese term for "the best part of the song" or "the hook" is a premium Japanese streetwear collection. Inspired by the philosophy of Tanoshinde, the Japanese term for enjoy, designer Shoichi Amemiya has created a line of apparel infused with a unique spirit of optimism and subtle flare.

Benjamin Bixby Line: The Gift & The Curse

So I heard Andre 3000's line, Benjamin Bixby, received a nomination for GQ Magazine's BEST NEW DESIGNERS IN AMERICA but I also heard that the line is suffering financially because the clothing line is not cheap to produce on a large scale...meaning no one is buying the clothing line!

I LOVE the line but, I would only pay $400 FOR A YSL Sweater or Louis Vuitton joint.....who am I kidding, I wouldn't pay that much for any sweater lmao, i'll accept it as a gift LOL

LMFAO: Inauguration Edition

MONDAY:

The day before our 44th President gets inaugurated! You can FEEL the anticipation in the air! By Monday, about 1.5 million visitors hit the streets, malls, restaurants, Obama shops (lol), bars & clubs of Washington, D.C.

Before I continue, I would like to say R.I.P. to all of the people that died on the I-70 West 50-car pile-up. Everything happens for a reason, if Soraya & Arkeen weren't so late...we would've been in that pile-up and I'm thankful that they weren't on-time.

Eventhough the 4hour traffic delay, stopped us from attending the Jay-Z concert, we kept our spirits up...l8tr that night, we WENT IN!!!

BIG SHOUTS TO NATE ENZO from talkofdc.com - real classy dude, reminds me of a young me LMFAO & shouts to the midget security guard that tried to kick us out of the club lmao

TUESDAY - HISTORY:
HOORAY! My President is BLACK

Ok, I'm ashamed to say this...we missed Inauguration because we partied HARD the night before

But we still got to experience the metro, the day, the parade & Georgia Brown's (YUM YUM)

Too SICK, Not to post....

The B-2 Stealth Bike dubbed the Spirit of Innovation, is created a lot similar in appearance to the B-2 stealth bomber, the front of the bike resembles the B-2’s cockpit, the aft deck of the bike is made in the same titanium used for the original B-2 aft deck, while the top view of the bike is identical to B-2’s planform aligned design. The Spirit of Innovation will be including in all social events of the year to commemorate the year long celebrations the bomber jet.

Speeding Tickets.....Hi Haters

Drivers of Hummer SUVs were 4.63 times more likely to get a traffic ticket than the average driver, concludes a yearlong study by a company that helps insurers identify risks.

ISO Quality Planning, the San Francisco company that studied the records of 1.7 million drivers, compiled a list of ticket magnets that confirmed some long-held notions: Owners of the 507-horsepower Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG and similarly muscular CLK63 AMG received outsized numbers of tickets, as did the generally young owners of the relatively inexpensive Scion tC, xB and xA, and the Audi A4 sports sedan.

But also on that most-ticketed list were the Subaru Outback and the Toyota Camry Solara and Matrix, three cars not known for great speed or expressing the rebellious nature of their owners. Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, virtually identical mechanically to their General Motors sibling Hummer, appeared on the least-ticketed list.

Sharing the bottom of the list? Buicks, minivans and pickups.

HEY!!! WHAT ABOUT BMW 745s driven by a young & fly black man like me????

OnTheRise: Katy Hilbert

First off, The "OnTheRise" section will highlight a person every week that sweats interest, sh*ts originality, spits success or breathes individuality.

Let's talk KATY HILBERT (pictured above)....

Katy is 24 and originally from Ohio. She now resides and represents HARLEM WORLD! Katy is pretty sure there's a reason she was recently laid off from her job; but when one door closes another opens right? Philanthropy is her thing and she's POSITIVE she and Tupac were married in a past life. Katy has more experience in the Fashion Industry than most her age, but she is looking to make a career switch and enter Sports PR. Does Larry Fitzgerald need a publicist? Because she may be the one.

There are 3 Fashion Essentials in her world:

A banging blazer

Red nails

&

A GREAT HAIR CUT.

The theme of the year is STRIVE IN 09, live it, be it--no questions asked.
