Waist Up

Zulu Faz and Dj Burn One - Dreamin

2011-08-19T11:09:00.003-04:00

"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase", was something said by a civil rights leader and clergyman you might know by the name of Martin Luther King Jr. I believe in having a dream and going after it not matter the magnitude and throughout the existence we have seen man prevail after having faith. So for track 5 off Rhode Scholar Volume 1 "Dreamin" (yes without the g you know us rappers and our grammar) we decided to visit the King Center (first time) and put a little something together for a quick visual. In no way am I comparing my dream to Dr. Kings' but I just wanted to show what faith can accomplish and show how quick we can find inspiration and seeing the results of having it no matter what you dream of.

Zulu Faz - 16+ "Rod Strickland"

2011-07-15T12:09:00.000-04:00

Zulu Faz - 16+ “Rod Strickland”
In the second viral for my 16+ series is Rod Strickland shot back home in Worcester Massachusetts at a childhood landmark of mine Crystal Park, wait scratch that somebody decided to call it University Park. Anyways the idea for Rod Strickland sparked from listening to some Wu and Raekwon ends his verse on Triumph by saying “Max mostly, undivided, then slide in, sickenin/Guaranteed, made em jump like Rod Strickland” and then I just wrote some shit because I thought saying Rod Strickland sounded jazzy. Once again produced by Kaotiq Simfoni and directed by Zimbabwe Kev 16+ “Rod Strickland”.

I'm Too Epic To Fail

2011-07-14T20:03:00.006-04:00

We are BACK! My bro Zulu and I have been working. Sometimes that's not the most legit excuse to use when it comes to abusing waistup but we have. I've been on tumblr a lot, retumbling in the wee hours of the morning but that's what I use to cool off the steam of my hectic days and it helps my mind wind down. But this is a quick still from a video we just shot titled "Dreamin" which is off the Dj Burn One mixtape Rhode Scholar Vol.1 we should be dropping the video soon but I promise we shall be back on our waistup grizzle. I love this shirt because I know that Zulu and I we are too epic to fail, the world will see it.

2011-06-10T14:24:00.008-04:00

Now I guess this formal thing knows no seasons because formal fashion during the summer still consists of suits and blazers and that would leave someone like me drenched in sweet but I understand fashion is fashion I just wanted to emphasize how hot it it out here. But in the continuing tips of what to wear during the summer and what is in and out Esquire offer a quick list and here of course are my favorites.

Formal Friday

2011-06-03T13:37:00.003-04:00

The thing I like about fashion as I think I've mentioned before is putting forth the minimal for the high standard. Suits should be simple and straight to the point but a designer has to add a touch that will make it theirs. I've always heard of Yves Saint Laurent mentioned here and there is some Kanye songs and I've seen their ads and that is the epitome of high life, even so it is all so simple and sometimes adventurous and he does introduce big idea but I'm so into the Beatles look slim cut suits that you see on the bottom. Sometimes minimal is the way to go.

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.

Formal Friday

2011-05-27T13:25:00.005-04:00

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

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.

My boss Glenn Schick mastered K’LA’s mixtape “Coldest Winter Ever” over here at Glenn Schick Mastering and while he was working on it I was landing a very keen ear. I kept thinking to myself this young lady has so much talent as each song was being rolled. That’s the great thing about working at a mastering facility I hear material way before everyone else hears it and most of the time I can really decipher what sounds great or not. So I really thought K’LA was dope and a couple of months later she’s signed to Def Jam! Good for her and her Musicline team. Shout out to T.A., Jenelle and Scott!

For some reason I have to yet to subscribe to GQ magazine but I still reference their website like 75% of the time in terms of feeding my style appetite. In the wide of array of things they offer the trend reports will having you feeling like you know whats going on in the world of fashion and though I'm one of those people who love to break trends its nice to know whats in sometime. GQ always offers the essentials for each season and though I'm kind of like I think, I went through their long list of their 2011 Spring trend report and picked the ones that caught my eyes and they are:

Midnight Blue (Color)

The suave and sleek look of the color is essential for the incognito look at an evening event

Sports Jacket

Taking the regular sports jacket and making it more dressier

Linen Suit

Once considered to be a fabric shunned by the fashion world, its perfect for staying cool even when its hot outside, wrinkles are in son.

Grey Jeans

I have never owned grey jeans they seem to match everything

Colored Chino

Can't keep wearing the same old borrowing khakis add some color to them.

Listen woman's silk shirt or not Kanye West's performance at Coachella is another one of those I wish I was there moments and to be quite honest I like the shirt. I like it enough to feature it for Formal Friday; I think its a stature shirt only someone of his caliber can rock it and make it look flyer well not really the aesthetics have to match the presence and any should be able to. Coachella seems to be getting bigger and when I rock that stage the precedent has lifted by Mr. West to rock something mighty piff and that I will.

Formal Friday

2011-04-15T10:52:00.004-04:00

Off all the sports, there is one where all the athletes are competing for a trophy that comes with an item of clothing and that is golf and that is acquired at the prestigious Masters at Augusta. Now I'm not an avid fan of golf but I will never write it off, one of the most exciting things i've ever seen was Rocco Mediate and Tiger's playoff at what I believe was a certain big major. Anyways golf is synonymous with formal wear and models itself around that standard, but it has evolved at a snail's pace keeping it pretty bland; it can be fun sometimes when guys like Daly wear picnic table cloth plaid pants and bright polos but I think this is where they can kind of bring in some some personality and appeal. The Masters have recently wrapped up and a South African Charl Schwartzel and golf might have won in the fashion department with a few glimpse of something new here and there.

Lets face it people are people and sometimes people are assholes and sometimes those assholes need a job and sometimes they become cops, thats why sometime I agree with people when then f**k the police sometimes. Now I'm no tough or trying to say I'm some sort of rogue but I've had encounters with the knights in blue and they weren't nice. Fiftyseven-thirthythree have taken the artistic approach in recognizing this. This design features an image of a gorilla cop in full riot gear toting a night stick. The back has the words "the force of example - the example of force". This design was created because the behavior of this primate and certain law enforcement officers is often indistinguishable.

Formal Friday

2011-04-08T11:18:00.005-04:00

Off course being me slacking on WaistUp I've stayed away from my pursuit of the all so fresh formal look and in that chase is find the medium that lets one be casual and ready for the runway at the same time. I've definitely gotten to really like the Band of Outsiders and Simon Spurr lines but upon my return I've stumbled across Michael Bastian and his Gant line. Looking at his Fall 2011 line it seems somewhere in his thought process he took two styles preppy and of course elegance and told them they were going on a ski trip and out comes this combination of knit sweaters, dope blazers among many of the casual pieces that have become a part of Bastian's lines. When I think of looking formal this is what I see in my mind.

Second Amendment Rights

2011-04-07T12:38:00.003-04:00

The right to bear arms, you know guns.....no not those the ones that leave a mess, the ones that ladies love, the ones that you're mama and dada gave you, all right all right you arms muscle the vagueness can get confusing. For the past two years I have been on a exercise regimen not because I feel fat or anything but just to be healthy and the challenge to be consistently healthy and fit; lord knows I try I exercise like an A class well maybe C class athlete but eat like an A+ glutton meaning my results are up and down. Recently I've started writing and recording music thus explaining my absence from WaistUp I disappeared off the face of the planet to make sure I would do the music right and I believe it has panned out (Rhode Scholar Mix-tape coming out soon) and its about to be on. But anyways all that has nothing to do with bearing arms now that everything is going at a flow I feel like I can handle I think its time I experience new things and go back to the discipline of exercising and posting on here all to help me continue my new found writing. I've been defining my goals and reaching them and after being lost for a while I really think I've found and understand what potential is and I want to apply that all aspects of life including getting back to sweating bring us full circle to the fact that this summer I want to go out into town in some tank tops meaning a little definition wouldn't hurt meaning yes that would be my new motive to work out; tank tops. See defining my goal each time I want to stop it wont be about health or looking sexy (which I already am) even letting go of some stress but all in the name of the right to bear arms.

"When we discover that our minds are omnidirectional, understanding our interconnectedness makes us part of the greater totality–which is nice"

This is how my mind feels like right now, we all have the power to create our own reality and it takes unfortunate events like the one in Japan for us to really even grasp that we only have one chance and I think I realized what I"m going to do with mine.

Spring is around the corner and of course in the alien world of fashion comes seasonal trends and Spring is no stranger to having its trends come and go each year. So as the man who confesses his little or no knowledge as to what is in or not I headed to Esquire and in pursuit for the right look for the blooming season and here they are

THE CLUB COLLAR

- This is that old school player look to me for some reason, it defines a grown man shirt for your formal activities.

DOUBLE BREASTED SUIT

-The suit that doesn't constrict the shirt and creates that look of poise.

THE NAUTICAL SWEATER

-To me the most applicable to my personal style can be applied anywhere casual or formal

THE TENNIS SWEATER

-Another way to have style in a casual or formal setting and I think its only right when its Lacoste they've been running this look for a long time.

THREE PIECE SUIT

-I think a three piece is a part of fashion all year round and are the epitome of taking care of business.
