Greedmont Park Magazine #3 [Summer 2011]

Open publication - Free publishing - More art

e create things, we break things and it is all respected. Across the bridge, however, we can be misunderstood and if the monglers are really colorful, we’re abominations. I guess, only a select few individuals can see the king’s new wardrobe and maybe, that’s for the best. Do we really give a fuck? Probably not. So, we chatted with celebrated misfit, Lupe Fiasco and bubbling, Brooklyn-raised new comer, Theophilus London. We highlight events that unify us all as humans like the disaster in Japan and the killing of one of the world’s most notorious terrorist, Osama Bin Laden.

Our online followers are lucky enough to see it first! Bundles of hard copies are being mass produced by our printer and distributed across America (more specifically NY, LA, SF and ATL) as we speak! Welcome to Greedmont Park magazine where we celebrate keeping your natural hair color when everyone else is on a blonde streak. Where we to highlight those ostracized, tortured (and sometimes killed), and celebrated for being a bit left of center. We say, let them eat cake.

Formal Friday

For this Formal Friday I just wanted to give a quick salute to former Celtics Assistant coach and this year's Coach of the Year for the Chicago Bulls Tom Thibodeau who bowed out last night to the Miami Heat. After leaving the Celtics Thibs took the open seat for the man in the suit running the Bulls team that had courted Dwyane Wade and Lebron James only to land Carlos Boozer and a bunch of platoon players to go along with emerging point guard Derrick Rose who eventually became this year's MVP. Lost in the shuffle the Bulls were a dark-horse not being put in the race between the reigning Eastern Champs Celtics, Heat and even behind the Magic but they emerged with the best record in the league. Thibs brought his defensive mindset and the Bull's chemistry led to a run to the Eastern Conference Championship bout with Heat where they team picked the wrong time to go on thier first losing streak of more than 3 games this season. With that being said the years of his focus and creating a credible resume and bringing a passion for coaching on the table to me has turned Chicago into a contender this series can only make everyone better and its just their first year so I look to seeing the Bulls among the top teams of the league moving forward; a star player, a great coach and defense

Magazine Clippings

Rick Ross & Andy Samberg Cover Complex's June/July 2011 Issue!

Rick Ross continues to amaze me because he has cultivated a brand name that continues to grow by the minute. His music has vastly improved and he has also started signing viable acts such as Pill, Wale and Meek Mills.

Andy Samberg is also holding it down on his own fort as an actor and Comedian.

I must say I really love this cover its very different from a lot of covers I see. This is cool.

Formal Friday

Been absent over here at WaistUp my mind is all over the place, I'm into musical inspiration lull and trying so hard to have people listen to my new project, my naive project thought it would blow but I'm starting to realize it slow burn and I just need to make sure it keeps cooking (see my mind is all over the place). With that said for Formal Friday I'll just post some Wandering Eye shots that I find interesting and share those.

Formal Friday

The Museum of Modern Art in New York recently had a little shindig you know to commemorate something or introduce something or maybe just a get together. The formal clad participants were treated to a not so formal wearing Kanye West performance with special guest Jay-Z, hey sometimes you got to keep it simple because the duo looked like two college kids who has stumbled to the party looking for the punch and snotty girls. Sometime you have to dress down thats an art in its own.
