The Basics: How to Tie a Tie

A lot of y'all have a problem with tying ties. I'm tired of seeing super small knots off to the side, super big knots that look like samosas, or just oddly shaped ties that don't look like tie knots. Here's a little something for y'all guys that can't tie a tie or the women that always wanted to learn and think that tying a tie is like this:

Kid Cudi's WZRD Update

As some of you may know Scott Mescudi, better know as Kid Cudi, was supposed to release his #2 most anticipated album of 2012, according to Complex (and you know they're always right). However, WZRD is still in the final stages of mastering. It is expected now to be releasing on February 28th. You know since Cudi loves his fans, he had to make up for making us wait, so he released "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie" (the FULL version). So far "Brake" and "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie" are the only two officially released songs off of the album. He is also supposed to release the much anticipated "Dose of Dopeness," so let's hope he does.

The Steve Jobs Style Trend: Turtlenecks 

(http://www.theurbangent.com/2011/10/steve-jobs-style-trend-turtlenecks.html)

Every time you've seen a picture of Steve Jobs, or if you had the honor of seeing him in person, you may have noticed that he's always, always, always wearing a black turtleneck, blue jeans, and some New Balances. He wore black St. Croix turtlenecks, which supposedly he spent about $4200 on per year. The company he chose to buy turtle necks sold out after his passing (RIP). He also stayed true to American brands which is always cool.

Turns out I just downloaded Kendrick Lamar's mixtape (Section.80). I just started listening to him, and I'm glad I did. Here's a nice track off of it. Some of the more popular tracks are Rigamortus and The Spiteful Chant. Definitely download it.
