hip hop foreva

While reading an older issue of VIBE magazine, I came across an article by Greg Tate about why hip hop will last forever. Something that stood out to be was when he highlighted that "The day it matters what anybody over 25 thinks about hip hop is the day hip hop will have truly died as a culture and become like jazz- a history lesson in need of its Ken Burns," will I lose interest in my romance with hip hop at 25? What is it about this counter culture that engages the ears and hearts of the young? If the article bears true, and hip hop does continue forever, constructed by raps of whatever influences the youth at the time : "crunk," "thizz," what have you... the possibilities are endless.

But I figure, as long as there's a beat that catches me. That keeps my head nodding and me vibein' , I figure i'll be in the game forever. Its all about the soul man.

X-mas Wish List

1) For some reason, I've always been drawn to two things. a) Cosmetic cases, preferably adorable. A favorite of my collection is a zebra-print Kate Spade. and b) Fendi (most likely due to my favorite sunglasses I purchased two years ago,) so when browsing the SaksFifthAvenue webpage, I was delighted to find this sexy little case. Black patent leather, monogram Fendi print, gold detailing. It's gorgeous, and most definitely on my list.

2) Without ever really wanting a watch, I was very drawn towards this seasons D&G timepiece collection. So following the makeup bag, I'm asking for one of these...
a) Royal Crystal Watch, $425
b) Queen Mary Cuff Watch, $395

3) And last, but not least, the search for a good wallet... Back to Fendi, thinking of this.
My only concern is that it might be too old lady. If anyone else knows of Continental wallets I should look into, send me a comment.

Happy holidays!
