Coming Home - Dirty Money (I like this track maybe Diddy will actually put that 'Last Train to Paris' album out, how Diddy got Diddy'd/Bad Boy Cursed? DAMN)


She's Single - Raheem Devaughn (Well damn Raheem you trying to show how you may wanna be a Pi Boy huh?)

Cloud 10 Status: DNA Ancestry Portraits


I remember a few years ago having a conversation with a friend (I can't remember who..maybe my buddy Tim Chung) in which we discussed him purchasing a piece of DNA Art.  Well I guess the movement is catching on because DNA Ancestry Portraits are now offering to add to your Fung Shui. 

"This new service from our pals at DNA 11 uses a cheek swab or existing ancestry test to create a personalized ancestry page detailing your maternal lineage, and then creates a 2D barcode that's transferred onto a custom canvas in one of three sizes and in one of 25 stunning color combinations, and when scanned with a smartphone will lead you back to your custom ancestry page. A true conversation starter, in more ways than one."

Its a Canadian brainchild.. WOOT I knew I remember this concept from a year ago!!  They ship for FREE in Canada and paintings start at $440.

Cloud 10 Status: M55 Hybrid Bike


The most M55 Hybrid Bike futuristic bicycle I've seen since the unicycle (tell me you never thought that bad boy was LEGENDARY AND AHEAD OF ITS TIME??) anyway, this bicycle features "a built-in electronic motor and batter pack, and uses a sensor to determine when you need extra torque, switching on the motor automatically. Other features include a Fox suspension, Brembo brakes, and an aluminum frame, plus all the smug points that come with owning a "hybrid bicycle."  Looks like something the Lost Boys would've concocted!

Cloud 10's New Music Spot: Keri Hilson




-picks jaw up from the ground- TELL US WHY YOU MAD AND SEXY THEN KERI!! Pow Pow, pelvic thrust, pelvic thrust, FUGG HER, FUGG HER!!- 

Yeah so Keri obviously attended the Janet Jackson School of Sex and Freaky Deaky because I didn't know Keri had it in her.. Anyway the song, lyrically,  is very IN YOUR FACE AND LEAVES NOTHING  LITTLE TO THE IMAGINATION.  I didn't think the dancing was that bad I've seen worse but meh there was a lot of coochie slanging going on and stuff though.  The video features cameos from JoJo, Columbus Short, Faith Evans and Dawn from Danity Kane Dirty Money.  Keri's album 'No Boys Allowed' will be dropping on December 20th is bound to have folks talking with this clip.  Hate it or Love it she made you watch!!

Cloud 10's 1st Annual #ThePlate Turkey Day Edition Competition


Well slap me down and call me Anna Mae, I never thought that when I proposed a #ThePlate Contest (see the ORIGINAL PLATE HERE) for Thanksgiving 2010 I never thought that there would be so many delusional cooks/food recipients in the world.  Some of you need to just focus on eating, getting ethnic fatigue and letting that tryptophan do its fugging job! Twit Picking your down the fugg trodden plates that left many of us scratching our heads as to what it was actually supposed to be was not a good look AT ALL!!

1) I just wanna know if that's shricken loaf in the top right (I think this was Lupe Fiasco's pride and joy of a plate btw....) I bet this was a healthy alternative gone wrong, why is it so many puke palette colors doe?


2) Honey Ham!?!?! This shit looked like a fire grilled Nerf Ball... FUGG OUTTA HERE!

3) The tag said Cajun Ham... Yeah I thought Gary Coleman had came back from the dead to get his grub on...

4) This plate aint so bad actually.... I think this was Lupe's plate.. Save for that brick ass excuse of a CORN BREAD! Ionno who's plate it was up there in that case but that ish looked nastier than Kate Gosselin's post birth belly..

5) The Cheesecakes!?! I aint seen that much crack since the Plumber Convention of 82'..  More crack than an urban, predominantly black neighborhood in the suburbs of DC during the Ronald Reagan era.  The lady who posted these got real salty too talking about WE DON'T KNOW OUR WAY AROUND A KITCHEN LET ALONE HOW TO BAKE A CHEESECAKE...Oh

6) Someone pass them elbow pasta a life preserver because THEY SWIMMING AND DROWNING!! Fugg you going posting this soupy, liquidy, extra moist ass excuse for some Mac and Cheese? 


7)  Her dressing/stuffing/ground up cow manure with raisins added! I just want folks to know that WE'SE FREE NAH, we don't have to eat slave food anymore.. Just an F.Y.I doe.



Which one do you think was #THEPLATE Thanksgiving Edition??

Cloud 10 Status: Converse x Sneakersnstuff Chuck Taylor Hi


As soon as I laid eyes on these bad boys, my mind automatically ran on the beautiful and talented Leah 'Crochet Wonder' Aaron.  I can always appreciate when brands take a step outside of the norm and do something that is totally MIND BLOWING!  The detailing on these bad boys scream CUSTOM.  Leah you think you could do something like these for me?  Only bad thing is these are knitted (the entire upper is knitted) and I know you crochet but I think some crochet jawns would look good! Get yours over at Sneakers N Stuff!


 Would yall wear these?

Cloud 10 Status: Kanye For Complex: Project Runaway


Kanye West is riding a high right now, his latest album (that I am picking up TODAY don't judge me for being late I was broker than the MC Hammer in 97 #anywaydoe) My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of the years most anticipated albums of the year and from what I've been hearing from the album and from users it has lived up to the HYPE! Kanye is a musical genius there is no other way to put it, hate him or love him the man is a marksmen at his craft!! Anyway Complex Magazine's Noah Callahan-Bever caught up with Yeezy in the studio in Hawaii where he sought refuge and fine-tuned his creativity...

"Did you look at my eyes?" asked Kanye West over the phone. He was calling from Milan. It was the middle of October 2009. It had been over a year since the completion of his last LP, 808s & Heartbreak, but this conversation was my first glimpse of what would become My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. "I mean, really look in my eyes in the ‘Run This Town' video. If you do, you can't tell me you're surprised by what happened. It was all there in my eyes."

He was, of course, referring to "what happened" at the 2009 VMAs, one week after the video shoot. Kanye and I had exchanged emails days after the Taylor Swift incident, but between him being inundated with criticism and my own personal distraction—a recently discovered brain tumor, of all things—this conversation, a month later, was our first real catch-up. And yes, Kanye West and I do periodically catch up. (And yes, I know how that sounds. Believe me.) Which is why, when I finally got around to explaining my condition over email, I received this concerned phone call from Milan, like, four minutes later.

After I hurried through the uncomfortable explanation of where I was at, the commiserating naturally turned to the major event in his life. Besieged and apologetic—but defiant—Kanye explained the fragile, overworked mental state that led to the outburst, his disgust with the ensuing media storm, and why he'd suddenly, and seemingly indefinitely, gone full ex-pat.


Head over to COMPLEX to read the entire interview!!

Cloud 10 Status: Fred Perry Saddle Wax Bags



Your shoulder game just got an UPGRADE!  Fresh off the Fred Perry's Limited Edition Collection production line are these handsome cream colored Saddle Wax Bags.  I am in the market for a nice briefcase/satchel hybrid and this one is a contender for sure, except the fact that its white means keeping it pristine will be a hassle.  The cotton/hemp mix that has been accented with webbing straps and brown leather trim.

Cloud 10's New Music Spot: Diggy Simmons Freestyle!


Diggy Simmons has just laced one of my favorite Hip Hop beats -Shook Ones by Mobb Deep- with his youthful lyrics.  Diggy is definitely one to watch as it relates to up and coming rappers in Hip Hop!!  The young man is coming into his own and I'm proud to see him dedicating himself to his craft and developing as a bonafide artist!  I've been watching Diggy since he was a young sartorialist so to see him fine-tune his lyrics game.. BIG UPS YOUNGSTER!!
