Strapped Up Waistwear

We got a dope package in the mail the other day from Strapped Up Waistwear in the form of some quality leather belts with a twist. We got a chance to strap up our pants, but also get strapped with our very own super soakers as well! Really clever idea to separate themselves from other belt retailers, and did I mention how quality the actual belts are, complete with their own custom monogram?  Big thanks go out to the entire Strapped Up team for the package, which was a pleasant surprise. Take a look at some close-ups of their belt selections in the slideshow below, and make sure you purchase your very own Strapped Up belt at their online store.

Strapped up is a new company dedicated to the production of new and creative waistwear. The Strapped Up team got tired of the same black and brown belts and decided to create an alternative that is eye-catching and original. The name Strapped Up refers to the belt around your waist. Common slang today uses the term to refer to having a gun. We have included a squirt gun with your belt so that you can get Strapped Up. Yeah, its a little nerdy, but you know you're going to play with it when you get your belt in the mail.
GET STRAPPED UP TODAY!

Kanye West blogs about recent fashion criticism

Kanye West took to his blog to lash out at recent criticism (IN ALL CAPS OF COURSE) from PETA who recently included the star on their 'Worst-Dressed' Celebrity list. This blog from the PETA Files probably added fuel to the fire. 'Ye has some strong points about the hypocrisy he sees in the fashion world as his response then transitions into a more general mindset on life. This part I really appreciate as his post can be interpreted as an inspiration for creative people to think outside the box (the 'color by numbers approach to life'). He even ends the post with a rhyme that I hope he somehow integrates into song. Also noteworthy: "Let the ball players dance after they score!". Hah, I love that. For those still unaware of why Kanye's fashion is causing such a fuss, hit the slideshow below for a glimpse at some brand new pictures of Kanye West & Amber Rose at Fashion Week in Paris (also courtesy of Ye's blog). Enjoy!

Download new version of Mr. Hudson's 'Anyone But Him' featuring Kanye West

The original version of "Anyone But Him" appeared on Mr. Hudson's debut album, Straight No Chaser. Now it looks as if the collabo with Kanye West will officially be pushed as the next single using the new version above, which boasts more of a rock feel to the song. I was always never into this song compared to the rest of the album and I think it was the beat that detracted my interest since I always felt Hudson's lyrics were solid on this record and Kanye's verse was entertaining. Now that the beat has this unique feel to it, I have a renewed desire to listen to it and look forward to seeing whatever visual they come up with if that's indeed the case. Perajok has more info including a couple tweets from DJ Semtex.

Down below lies a few more tracks and a trio of videos as an unreleased Lupe Fiasco preview leaks out this afternoon. Here's the explanation (via 2db):

A preview of Lupe's upcoming official mixtape w/ DJ Absolut, entitled Vintage Fiaso. Being that Absolut was the first DJ to show Lu some love in NYC, the mixtape will contain 12 unreleased songs from his days at Arista Records.
I smell shenanigans! Let's see if that gets shut down. (UPDATE: Thought so.) Nevertheless, the beat goes pretty hard though and Lupe illustrates a real nice flow. Also included below is a Game feature (shouts 2 X), a new and powerful video from Rhymefest, ditto from Wyclef Jean, and B.o.B. performing at the Sprite Step Off in Charlotte... haha! Last but not least, make sure to peep an interesting slideshow of Kanye West, Amber Rose, & Pharrell at Fashion Week in Paris (shouts 2 Rap-Up). I definitely think Pharrell's new facial hair should stay, haha. Enjoy!

Purely a quick fashion post here as Kanye West & Amber Rose's recent stop in Paris was surely the eye-catcher. The photos caught my eye because of the couple's unmatched, daring fashion sense. Amber Rose's see-through skin-colored outfit is self-explanatory and make sure to hit the jump for Kanye's blinged-out shoes (and Tims). Also included is a couple pics of Mr. & Mrs. Carter-Knowles for kicks (no pun intended). Lastly, I think I may have reached a personal best for most hyphens used in a post. *raises arms in triumph* Enjoy!

Kanye West for A Bathing Ape - Spring 2010

We lead off this post so I can tinker around with the brand NEW slideshow feature in spotlighting the latest dip into the fashion foray from Kanye West. He works with the iconic company BAPE to be featured in their Spring 2010 lookbook. There's some pretty dope styles and I think it's safe to expect that you'll be seeing even more of the youth littered in Laker-colored vests, fully illustrated jackets, or accessories defined by the all-caps BAPE. (Photo credit: Hypebeast)

DOWNLOAD new mp3s after the jump from the likes of DMX, Lil' Wayne, Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Ne-Yo, and Lady Gaga (and an UPDATED Reflection Eternal collab with Mos Def, J. Cole, and Jay Electronica). The most entertaining track comes from none of them, however, as Maino drops a Tiger Woods-inspired record. You'll see. Also, I heard it was rumor for awhile but now it's been confirmed everywhere... T.I. has been released early from prison and currently staying in a halfway house in Atlanta. Enjoy!

First off I wanted to give a shout out to all the GWHH followers and let you know I'm J. Wags.  I'm thrilled to be contributing to the GWHH movement and look forward to bringing in a different angle whether it's reviews of music, sneakers or news!   I wanted to start off my first post with a up-and-coming sneaker company, Gourmet.  Gourmet has made a name for themselves over the last few years with the release of shoes inspired from the Jordan Brand Collection.  These kicks received mixed feelings for their use of classic outsoles and canvas structure with the apparent influence from Jordans.  Gourmet's Spring 2009 collection gave sneakerheads an original but classy line stemmed from their influences in Italian and Italian-American culture.  Above are my personal favorite kicks from the Fall 2009 collection, the Uno's.  These and the rest of Gourmet's Fall 2009 line are all available now at their online shop and their retailers websites Check out the SALE section and grab some of their recent releases for up to 50% OFF!  Keep an eye out as we expect Gourmet to continue releasing fresh sneakers and apparel.

New Limited G tees available at limitedg.com

I just put up some new Limited G tee alterations to my designs at the online store, and you can now get the Jesus combo pack that used to be only available at St. Alfred as well. Check those out if you're a fan. To transition I wanted to give a brief thought I had on art making, and what I look for when making anything.

When I make anything I try to make the viewer aware of their presence in relation to the piece. It has to ask the viewer a subjective question making them relate directly in a personal way. To self analyze Limited G, I think people respond to the tees I have out now, because they're bold and call attention to the wearer, a sort of added confidence if you will. The bold always draw attention to themselves, because they seem to have an answer. This idea can be further related to history in general or even the music industry. Everyone is the best in their own right, but being bold is what convinces others. Take a look at any one in the game right now from Lil Wayne to Lady Gaga to name a few. They portray confidence almost as if they know something that others don't, which is why people gravitate towards them. Everyone can develop talent and everyone can grow to unimaginable heights; it's the confidence in self potential that gets anyone anywhere. That's what I look to capture in anything I make; the confidence in unimaginable & untapped potential. On another note in a look to the future I wanted to address some reasons to the delay in designs, and what to expect in the coming month.

It's been a while since I came out with brand new designs some would agree. The reason is partly because I've been so busy with co-running gowhere, finishing up college, doing other free-lance design work, and not to mention a bunch of side things that come up with those responsibilities. However, on a good note I've been refining Limited G, getting more organized, and becoming more knowledgable in what I want and how to achieve it with the clothing line.

I even have multiple designs on deck ready to be printed, so brand new stuff is coming within the next couple weeks as it will take me some time to do photoshoots too. All I'm going to say is that the new tees are going to take a darker route, except for some collaborations that are in store with artists like Jeff Pak. Lastly, I do this for you all, and want to thank you for your continued support. Much love!
