But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different.

Thinking About You

A few favorite in R&B is forming and he flows as constant as an Ocean. If you have not guessed by now it is Frank Ocean. Ever since Odd future hit the scene everyone in their crew has hit the ground running, and right now Frank Ocean is looking like an Olympic Sprinter. Nostalgia Ultra is one of the best mixtapes of this year, Frank will be releasing an album entitled Nostalgia/Lite, and Frank Ocean is contributing to Kanye West and Jay-Z's new Album watch the throne. He recently dropped a new track called Thinking about you and much like every other frank ocean song its pretty smooth.

Bold Hiatus

Serious apologies for those waiting on an a new post. Unfortunately the Backpack Boys have been on a hiatus, a very BOLD Hiatus (Remember that more to come). But now we're baaaaaaaaack and most definitely here to stay. So to our loyal followers Lil Wayne couldn't have said it better, Sorry For The Wait!

Kamikazes with the gator on em

The much anticipated release of super producer Swizz Beatz's sneaker called the Kamikaze will be released on June 10. Also with these Sneakers come its own line of snap back caps and t-shirts. Could this shoe lead to the rise of Reebok? i don't know i will let you decide.

You Sure Its Not The Shoes

I am sure everyone likes Michael Jordan for being a great athlete or a great shoe creator. Most are fond of spike lee also, but mostly for his movies or for being one the most dedicated knicks fan around. How many of you knew that the two collide for Michael Jordan's old Jordan sneaker commercial. How many more of us knew that this commercial was also redone by some... Wait for it... PLAYBOY BUNNIES!!!! nothing beats great shoes and playboy models.

Even More Gems From the Golden Age

Nas-One Love

#JETSGO

Another dope video from Curren$y, and yet again another dope/ smooth song from Curren$y. I got a few questions with this one though.
1. How much BBC does Curren$y have
2. WHAT THE HECK WAS IN THE DANG BOX!!!!!

Golden Age

We've all seen that new Heineken commercial, the one with the guy at the party. If you dont remember, Im talking about this one

Ever wonder what song that is, and who sings it? Its a group called The Asteroids Galaxy Tour (don't ask me why). Its a great upbeat song with a vintage feel. Heres their music video, and their album drops later this year.

Air Yeezy 2 countdown

'Ye has been spotted a couple of times wearing what is a supposedly the Air Yeezy 2's. Cant wait till he releases these. It seems like these will be less flashy than the original, but well see when they officially drop. Fresh varsity jacket by the way.

You Know How We Do It

Ice Cube-You Know How We Do It

The Holy Trilogy

Extraordinary, immaculate, trendsetting, trailblazing, excellence, and often imitated but never duplicated. Those are the thing that you think of when the name Supra comes to mind, its above and beyond foot wear catches everyone's eyes with its bold designs.

In 2005 the world of footwear was drastically changed with the creation of the Supra Skytops





This didn't mark the end of Supra footwear with another edgy design of the Skytop 2 in 2009




Now Supra footwear's most recent project is the Skytop 3




The Skytop 3 is still edgy like the other 2 before it, but there is something different about this shoe that not many people can quite put their finger on. Whether hit or miss with this shoe Supra will still be one of the best footwear brands out.

What Happened?

Lupe Fiasco - Kick, Push by Warner-Music

One of my favorite songs of all time, by Lupe Fiasco. Simple, different, catchy.

Fast forward 5 years, the same man releases this album.


Its so different, it doesn't feel like the Lupe I remember. He didn't sell out, but he compromised. For any other artist, this would mean more album sales, but Lupe has always been seen as different, and for him to release an album so mainstream actually hurts his image. But dont take my word, listen to it yourself and tell me what you think...........Stay thirsty my friends (Matt Farmer).....

Thurnis! Hey, Hey Thurnis! Why You Golf

A weird but funny advertisement for Tyler, The Creator's upcoming album Goblin. These videos have no relevance to his album accept for when the date quickly flashes on the screen.

I got C.O.L.O.U.R.S

Fonzworth Bentley better known for turning G's into Gents or holding Diddy's umbrella but no one would of ever thought that he was talented in music. The world will soon find out how exactly how smooth he is not only visually but musically also, with the launch of his new mixtape C.O.L.O.U.R.S or Cool Outrageous Lovers Of Uniquely Raw Style.

Love this man...Just sayin

Had to post this

Enjoy...........(Christopher Colas).

Supreme 5 Panels

Iv'e known about Supreme skate company for the longest, but Iv'e spotted some kids wearing some sick 5 panel Supreme hats. One night the "gang" and I decided to go skating and we took some photos. Ricky's got a blue one, but just check out these photos. Enjoy................(Christopher Colas).

Popped up in Paris making chairs with a beard

Its been far too long since we've heard Pharrell. Glad to see that he is back and in full effect with no intent of slowing down. This song proves it. He reminds all the haters that he is solidified in the music industry and completely irreplaceable.

Black Thoughts 2

Tyga is a cool dude from YMCMB (YoungMoney CashMoney Baby) but at the same time deep. His Mix-tape Black thoughts was fantastic and had a really cool theme. Black Thoughts included old beats and new school beats which made him a more versatile artist. Adele has been puttin' in work round the industry and has samples being used by Wale and Childish Gambino. Tyga and Adele create a track-mind blowing in my opinion, called "Reminded". Enjoy............(Christopher Colas).

The longest text message

Childish gained my respect. Supposedly he did this song when he was so drunk that he didn't remember he made it. Luckily, he eventually did. Im lovin the drums in the beat. Check it out.......(Matt Farmer)

My Last Video

Big is back with his latest video. Swag levels are off the scale. (LOL). Big Sean sports TI$A really well. He's probably the trendsetter for the brand anyway. The song however, is great. Great lyrics and a cool chorus makes this track sick. Chris Brown's new dew is also pretty fitting. He's doing a lot right now, and both artists are on the verge of releasing there album's. More importantly this is Big's debut album, so he has to go hard with great songs. Because Im a fan of Big i know he won't fail me. Anyways.......Enjoy...........(Christopher Colas).

Hometown

Big Sean's latest video for his mixtape hit "Hometown" dropped recently. As a Kanye fan, I'm proud to say I love everyone on the GOOD Music label (Getting Out Our Dreams). Big Sean in particular is part of my top 3 of Good Music rappers. He's come far and he's simply paying homage to where he was raised and the city he reps. Enjoy..........(Christopher Colas).

All Day

This group Kooley High is sick. They represent a true spoken word type of rap. The second verse is fantastic. Only 3 MC's are rapping in this song, but there are actually a total of 6 people in the group. The six consist of 5 rapers and 1 Dj. The instrumental is also classy and jazzy. Overall score is......DOPE!! Enjoy........(Christopher Colas).

Best Day Ever

Mac Miller is deffinately an artist with a heavy following now. His latest mixtape dropped today-entitled "Best Day Ever". The first track really caught my attention with it's fantasy sounding jingles. Download it ==>here<== and Enjoy..........(Christopher Colas).
