BUN B RELEASES SHOE DEDICATED TO PIMP C

   

 

 

BUN B's VERSION OF THE GREEDY GENIUS COOL BREEZE "R.I.P. PIMP C

Whenever you see Bun B, he is always rockin’ some of the latest street fashion. That’s why I am glad to see him hook up wit Greedy Genius to do his own shoe. Bun played a role in designing this exclusive version of the Greedy Genius ‘Cool Breeze Vador High Top’. Having creative input on the shoe, Bun could have just made the shoe about him. Instead, he was a ‘G’ about the situation and decided to dedicate the shoe to his beloved friend and partner in rhyme, Pimp C.

The shoe is scheduled to be released in September 2008, just in time for the BET Hip-Hop Awards. Speaking of wack entertainment television  BET, I hope they  will pay homage to Chad Butler A.K.A. Pimp C at this years award show. For them not to have a dedication to one of the pioneers of southern rap, [or as Chad called it, "country rap tunes"]  it will be blatantly disrespectful to the hip-hop community.

For all of you sneakerheadz in the ATL, they should be on deck at Barney’s and Standard. The Cool Breeze Vadors normally run from $100-$120. With this being a special version, I am not sure if they will raise the price or not. The look cool, and I really want that key chain! I love UGK, and want to support Bun B, but since I live in the boondocks all my money goes to Exxon. So if anyone out there cops a pair holla at ya boy and let me get the key chain…I got $5 on it.

THOMAS JONES LIVING THE 'GOODE' LIFE!

New York – Thomas Jones jumps into the music game by launching his own independent record label, Outta Pocket Entertainment. The first artist on the label is Atlanta R&B artist Myko, who recently opened up shows for Trina, Bobby V, and Floetry (I thought they broke up?).  
“I want to put out classic music, that individuals will appreciate for years to come, in addition to making high-quality music,” Jones told AllHipHop.com. “I want to develop and brand top artist that are not only recognized but respected all over the country.”The first artist on Jones’ label is Atlanta singer, Myko. He currently has an underground single with Rick Ross called “Spend This Bread” floating around the Web, but his first single will be “Late Night Creep” from his forthcoming album which has yet to be announced.

Myko also has a song with former Correctional Officer D-Boy Rick Ross entitled, “Spend This Bread”. Here are some behind the scenes clips from the making of his video for his first single, “Late Nite Creep” produced by Static Major.

 The song is not bad. By the looks of the video Thomas Jones put a lot of money on his new artist. Although Myko has yet to release a cd, he’s pushing a Bentley in his video.  Gotta love that NFL money, huh? And if Ross does a verse for anyone,  I know he charges atl east 15k . Jones has that long NFL money so I am sure it was nothing for him to break bread with the ‘boss’.

Meagan Goode’s sister Lamiya is part of a singing group called, “Bad Gyrl”. Those girls are beautiful and talented. They were once apart of Jagged Edges production company 581 Muzik, not sure what happened there. Last time I talked to the manager of the singing girl trio, he told me they were in Cali working on new material. Hopefully Jones will sign them up next.

Thomas Jones also has plans to get into acting and start a new clothing line.  I just don’t want to see Jones fall under the category of, “JACK OF ALL TRADES, MASTER OF NONE”.   With Brett Farve now on his team, the Jets will rely heavily on their running game. In order for Brett to flourish, he needs a productive ground attack. If Jones can’t be a threat out of the backfield, defenses will blitz the hell out of the old man which may force Farve back into retirement.

Jones is entering his 10th season in the league. For a running back 10 seasons is like having a Ford Pinto with over 150k miles on it, it’s bound to fall apart. I wish Jones well this season, but In his last three seasons Jones has run for more than a stack, but he only scored one touchdown last season playing in all 16 games.  Over the last two seasons he has amassed a grand total of 7 TD’S. That is not what you expect from a former 1st round pick. LT can get 7 TD’s by week 3 of the season.  Jones backfield mate, Leon Washington is emerging as the eventual replacement for Jones if he were to retire of have contract issues.  Washington is a lot younger and much more explosive.  The two should be effective splitting carries this season.  I just hope Jones doesn’t put all of his energy into music and forget about his #1 priority…score more TD’s! Athletes with record labels are never relevant in the industry anyway. Kobe, A.I., Deion Sanders, and Cedric Ceballos all flopped in the music biz. The most successful was probably Shaq, He had a gold and platinum album and a classic song with Biggie. I wonder if Shaq did a song with hip-hop artist Mary Jane? You know the girl in ATL that put the restraining order on him. More on that later. Perhaps former Falcon Bob Whitfield left the biggest impression on the game by setting up Patchwerk Studios in Atlanta. All the top acts from Whitney Houston to Sting have recorded there.
