SDTW Photoshop Skillz V-Nasty Edition
Perhaps it would be wise to check thine self before you were to wreck thine self.
Who Gives A Shit x Completely Unnecessary
Stop it.
Nobody needs some "old timey" coffee/soup thermos and collaborative holster. The fuck is the holster for? You planning on getting into a soup shoot out in Wholefoods homie?
Never not ever has someone been like "Man, this thermos is tight, but if I just had some other way to hold it,".
Well, if we are inventing more completely useless shit why not just make a bag for your wallet? A clock for your watch? Shoe lace holders?
Now some ol' pussy ass commenter might wanna jump in with their retarded ass two cents and say some shit like "Well, what if someone was going camping and wanted to bring their thermos? Then it sort of makes sense."
Oh, yeah. Great point. I mean when you go camping all you need is a fucking thermos filled with soup and the luxury of having your hands free. That shit might work if you're Bear Grylls and like drinking your own piss, but I imagine if you're going to go actual ass camping you might bring something more than Spaghetti O's and a strap holster.
Read how some taste maker blog struggles to describe the need to actually have this:
"You’d be hard-pressed to find two more iconic American brands than Filson & Stanley, which is really part of the charm of this piece, since it’s something you could envision you grandfather carrying to work each day."
I imagine my grandfather would have maybe had a thermos. I also imagine that in his time if he were to carry it in some over the shoulder holster that his friends would have called him a derogatory term used at the time like "candyass" as in:
"Hey fellas, look at Lowell and his fancy thermos purse. Nice thermos purse you fucking candy ass."
Just for context my grandpa was probably the toughest person I have ever known and smoked 4 packs of cigarettes a day. As far as I know he owned zero thermos purses.

For those that haven't picked up on the obvious:
These are things either said to me or said by me on the daily. I capture these brief glimpses in linguistical brilliance so that you can get a nice tan from standing in my shine.

Rest In Peace King Kase2 The King Of Styyyyyyyyyyyyle
I woke up this morning to find that Kase 2 had passed away.
I thought it would only be appropriate to take the time to explain Kase 2's importance to graffiti and to me personally. For those of you who read Super Duty Tough Work and are not familiar with graffiti or the documentary Style Wars the actual phrase "super duty tough work" comes from one of Kase2's numerous quotes in the film. You could even argue that Kase2 IS that movie. His quotes and scenes are what made "Style Wars" so entertaining. In a close second place would be Cap with his "N*ggas know" line, but that line ain't even close to touching any of Kase's superb quoteables.
Kase2 did more for the sub-culture of graffiti and style writing in that film than a lot of people realize. Probably the most obvious being that he made the viewer want to BE a graffiti writer. I'm sorry if that statement sounds lame to you, but that is the truth. You read any interview from some of the best writers in history and usually their story starts with something along the lines of "My friend showed me 'Style Wars' on vhs," or "I saw 'Style Wars' on PBS one night and that's when I wanted to start writing," that is how nearly every one of their writing careers starts. So if "Style Wars" is the point of entry for most writers and Kase2 is the stand out writer within the film then you could say that Kase2 is probably a starting point or style catalyst for decades of writers. Obviously, that is not the case for every great writer, but the logic is solid none the less.
Out of all his famous quotes I think the best is when he succinctly summed up THE reason why people write graffiti:
"People look at a person, what you write on trains? Oh, you vandalism and all that. Yeah I vandalism alright, but still in general I know what I'm doin. I did somethin' to make yo eyes open up. Right? So why is you talking bout it for?"
Boom.
And there is the quintessential definition of why people do it.
He is simply saying "Yes, I vandalize, but I know what I am doing. I did something that made you look. That is why I did it."
There are a lot of personalities within the sub-culture that is graffiti, but there was only one Kase2. I never met him, but I knew many that had and thankfully he was documented on film so that future writers can continue to be inspired by his style and maybe even more importantly his gift of gab.

The One Good Song from "Watch The Throne"
This is not some declaration for a comment war. I just like this one song.
However, even better than this song is the hilarious review The Source had my homie Mero write up for them.
Read that shit:
The Kid Mero Reviews "Watch The Throne"
King Of Real Talk #2
My dude is unflappable about having a hit put on him. In fact, he is insulted that his ex-wife was only going to pay 2 g's for him to be murdered. Shit, my dude here is at least worth 10 g's. Put your little 2 g's away bitch away before he makes that shit look stupid.
