Public Enemies

Staying in the Michael Mann theme, he’s  actually got a new film coming out soon that looks super sick, staring Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard and the long awaited return of Boiler Rooms Giovanni Ribisi.

Mike it’s safe to say POP’s got your back.

When does it become wrong?

I discovered this Crooks & Castles hoodie the other day…

and the inspiration … image used, the cover of the feature film HEAT, Directed by Michael Mann

WHAT THE FUCK?

Ok I understand the movie is HARD as fuck, gun fights in the street, dudes living a life of proffesional bank robbing, Natalie Portman, its sick i get it.  In Crooks defense there are some sort of clarity changes to the image but there is a point where CROOK becomes CRIME, like is “streetwear” becoming a fleemarket?

It’s just wrong.

This hits close to the heart too cause Michael Mann has been a Personal and fam favourite forever, like Collateral, the Insider, Miami Vice! (TV Series & Movie), like come on the guy is a legend.  Would you steal hova’s rhymes and put them on a shirt?

Just steal anyones shit but Mikes!

K what about this instead guys?

Pirates of the Carribean:Dead Mans Chest, directed by Gore Verbinski,

DRAKE “GOT YOUR DREAM GIRL, RIDING IN YOUR DREAM CAR”

If he hasn’t yet, he will soon, those are fine lyrics from Toronto’s very own Drake, aka Jimmy from Degrassi, aka Drizzy aka…Killing it, with the release of his mixtape “So Far Gone” it’s evident, Drake has the flow and lyrical writing ability to make a mark on hip hop.   Apart from being picked up by the one they call Wayne, Drake has been on the I AM MUSIC Tour alongside Wayne and the rest of Young Money.

Go check out what him at his crew are up to at http://www.octobersveryown.blogspot.com ,

and grab the mix tape while you’re there…
