hiphop related anger

2008-04-19T08:53:00.000-07:00

look at the facial expressions (thanks kwesie, thanks jr).... it's because yours truly stated, that lyrically speaking, uk hiphop has never ever ever ever ever surpassed the magnitude of pre-95 us hiphop .... my prime examples being digable planets....
things got abit heated loool.... but hey, i listen to smiff n wesson, children of the corn, plaigerism, tribe, black milk, common, etc etc.... so dont tell me uk acts are better!
lol i mean...... even if you have wordplay..... you need conceptual depth..... show me the uk 'retrospect for life' and i'll ration out my eardrums.
:)... why does hiphop get me so angry lol... maybe i need to get more female friends,,,,, erm....nope
boring
girls cant stunt bike and talk about gil scott heron!
oh and not to mention names but... some people are bikes theifs lol

silly things

2008-04-19T08:37:00.000-07:00

if you ever needed proof that i don't taking one iota of the blogging scene seriously (well maybe just my own blog)... you now have it.
i present to you..... canon framed boredom
low light, messed up white balance and...
me with a guitar, in a bookshop...
who the hell cares....

a japanese electro night! fun, if not a little weird

new ish

2008-04-19T08:02:00.000-07:00

i couldnt resist a bit of throwback anti-fashion.... each garment and accessory represents 70's-90's practicality at its best... the plaid lumba, the 'custom-badged' farmer and travel corperation hats.... the inadvertant contribution to my highly stylised wardrobe!
note to reader....
a successful ensemble consists of 1or two 'deep south'type' pieces...
we wouldnt wanna get arrested for suspected substance abuse now.. would we?

a busy weekend

2008-04-13T17:27:00.001-07:00

and to illustrate the point, and hopefully dampen any contemplative thoughts of going out two days in a row, having not slept a wink over the two previous days... i've posted a few snaps
you know i took it there with the orange hair
had to be done baby.
btw... these pics were taken at joels bday bash at barvinyl and martizllllles bday bash at holic (japanese electro night i'll have you know :)

2008-04-09T13:30:00.000-07:00

filthy kicks

2008-04-09T13:09:00.000-07:00

now this is sooo late
and i took my time mailing the pics to mani.... sorry mani
but nevertheless....
they r up!
a cooking pot of iconic 'it-peeps', filthy kicks (held at a secret location) truly housed our cities inimitable eccentricity.
i attended the event with my homie willkay (artist) and saw so many familiar faces and friends (thai, the kuz team, richard (shoyemi), keryn etc), i also met a few myspace friends and randomly intoxicated individuals.
(review coming soon)

mindless mammals

2008-04-09T12:58:00.000-07:00

been away for abit, and aside from finding out cartain people in my life are fake fake fake (gucci airs fake)...
im back with photographic evidence of my productive month!

ever keen to lend a helping hand, i hooked my homies at mindless mammals up with a pre studio shoot. we found a black room (about 5x5) and got abit obsessed with it is a shooting location, it was fun

dunk be true

2008-04-09T12:57:00.001-07:00

tomorrow i'll be hitting the nike 'dunk be true' exhibition in the city (an assortment of direct and round about homages to the iconic shoe),
i'm guessing its gonna equate to a pretty cool arrangement of industry heads, art and hip-hop / electro lovers, or to simplify ; London's coolest.
now, the diplomatic thing, would be to attend, then give my often skeptical, always optimistic feedback... so that my friends, is what i'm gonna do...
one thing i will say however, is that if i see a single rope chain, i'll leave.
(darn, i think somebody just sprung to mind... hmm)

bedtime post

2008-02-28T23:05:00.001-08:00

its 7.01 and i'm going to bed (don't think about it, just accept it), to celebrate my admittance of insomnia i've left you with two pics (that actually have nothing to do with anything i just said... but.... i like to compare and contrast the two... exhibit a. well rested randomchild, exhibit b. randomchild now)

whats better than a happy couple?
a fly-ass couple.

call me shallow but damn, nobody appreciates the half hearted attempt of candidate A to 'emulate flyness of candidate B'.
nor is candidate A's 'willingness to accommodate candidate B's lack of swagger'.... in any way acceptable, infact it borders on egregious (darn, was that an exaggeration?).
peep the lanvin platforms and the lanvin hi's.... see how they work together?.... they illustrate my (bitchy, needless) point.
reflecting the perfect couple, they don't contrast, they combine... like flour and water, not water and oil. (analogised crudely but hey, if you want me to continue i will)...
kanye and alexis...... think about it..... aesthetic perfection is'nt a jewel that they posess solely, afterall, she styled him, provided him with swagga-som appeal... and whalla! now he works it on his own!...
its not hard, but its worth it.

illustration at the v&a

2008-02-28T22:07:00.001-08:00

now this is cool, the fact that i heard about it today, leads me to question what i've been doing for the past month...
the v&a illustration awards is in full swing...book and magazine / newspaper illustration being prevalent aspects of the exhibition. as sods law prevails, i didn't get much from the v&a site, nevertheless, my presumption doubles as instinct.
ending on the the 18th of march, we've all got time time to check it out... i'm planning to go tomorrow (the security guards just love chasing my camera and i around) http://www.vam.ac.uk

randomchild cuts hair...

2008-02-28T21:55:00.001-08:00

i cut it all off baby... and trust me, i cut alot (or the beautiful ghanaian lady did), my hair was getting too damn long and i needed a new look ;)

dayum...

2008-02-28T21:41:00.001-08:00

as decks go... these are pretty fly, i'm feeling the artwork to a major degree
.... i mean, i bmx (double decade baby!) and boarding is pretty new to me (as a possible means of transportation that is...) but hey, my bro's a boarder, so ima keep it in the family.

ghana dictates my pride...

2008-02-28T20:49:00.000-08:00

reflection moves me... i have a fixation with african history.. like a serious fixation (nerd) now i'm not suggesting the world turns into bead and kufi wearing, dashiki clad fanatics (like my geeky self) but these books are objectively written and amazingly thought provoking.
great for those that wear red, black and green and don't know what the damn colors mean! also, candidates for forced educational development.. like janet jackson, that appear on daytime television showing off a ghanaian 'sankofa' tattoo, vigorously 'informing' the world thats its a kenyan symbol....

2008-02-28T20:12:00.000-08:00

http://www.teebeeland.com
pretty mad stuff, the intricate spray work makes me wanna see more....
working with everything from wood, shelving, canvas, attire and footwear, teebeeland aren't necessarily 're-inventing' custom / graff work, but they have an edge.... i'm love the 90's vibe and i'd like to see more work from this brand. i definitely see commercial chains developing strong interest in their approach....

on starbucks...

2008-02-28T19:26:00.001-08:00

chilling at borders...
the comedic elements of this pic bring to the surface the musings of my inner child... hence the decision that another meaningless post is in order....
aside from the dramatic realization that shocking pink lipstick and a bright flash equate clown-like aesthetic qualities (see pic).... i took a nostalgic trip down the calorie paved road of my starbucks favourites....

1. the pomegranate frappucino (the rare-sneaker of the beverage world... confined to the international summer months / the national summer month (yes month)

2.the caffe mocha with whipped creme, no sugar (unless you're roxanne or brendan and 3/4 sugars are palatable) and chocolate sprinkling

3. the iced caffe mocha another social recluse, like a gifted artist in a sea of decorators i greet its entrance on to the seasonal beverage 'scene' with open arms. served with ice and whipped cream.... note* stir first (unless shock is a particularly enjoyable emotion for you... in which case, gulp it down, skip the creme)

4. the hazelnut mocha an occasional favorite, the whipped creme in inadvisable, but unadulterated self-indulgence undermines this... leaving one sick but content. NEVER EVER PURCHASE A CAKE WITH THIS...

5. the strawberry and cream frap ok, its predictable and overwhelmingly pretentious (think Hollywood boulevard and mary kate and ashley) but dayum son... its nice!

an assemblance of color

2008-02-28T18:29:00.000-08:00

so i my bro dropped me this hat today.... wow
its a luminous (and i mean luuuuminous) snap back racer and its tremendously sick...
infamous for my hatred of 'color'... this will prove to be a challenge, or a style digression! but i'm thinking i'll rock it with muted shades, and shock the world... or camden at least.
the tee? oh thats a mindless mammals joint. my friend martel (co-creator) hooked me up... its one of those adaptable additions to a wardrobe.... nu-rave, hyphy, 80's, 90's whatever.... its a rockable shirt.. and i love it.
randomchild plans to rock hers with a silk blazer & kente scarf ... keeping it non-conformist baby!
hold tight crew....myspace.com/mindlessmammals

im in dire need of an award tour beanie, but in the meantime.... i shall collect random era representations (or vintage beanies).
i particularly like these two... an admission of 'obsessive compulsion' maybe.... but i'll never wear them... these are inanimate objectifications of my mad mad mad mind...

2008-02-28T17:44:00.001-08:00

messing around with my humble camera gives me so much joy... i often enter my house in fits of strangely overwhelming excitement, frantically rushing towards the mac, where seated.. inevitable hindrance comes in the form of the ever fruitless usb search......

i always find it

i connect the heart wrenchingly beautiful devices and whalla!.... visual candy.

my dad's artistic critique (he's a journalist and photographer.... so yep, always correct) does little to effect my blissful tranquility as i caste my eyes upon my days dumb yet oh so cool snaps.

god bless you unintentional shots, temperamental flashes and dodgy shutter speed.

and what the hell is this

2008-02-28T17:11:00.000-08:00

unfortunately for me.... i know half of y'all like/love these... yes they are spongebob emblazoned jordans.... and yes you can breath in, climb off the carpet and cool down.

inappropriate in more ways than one... i'm inclined to believe that anyone that finds these 'nice', or 'cool', 'bangin', 'fresh'.... whatever, needs to 1.put down the matching yellow and white fitted ('that would look sick in the club') 2. re-evaluate their existence.

candy coated jewels

2008-02-24T20:39:00.001-08:00

Candy coated jewels. A pre-destined legacy, or in other words, perfection... candy coated perfection. Surpassing the fragmented foundations of many so called t-shirt companies, candy coated jewels reflects the conceptual brilliance of the 'ideal graphic clothing-line'. Exuding irrepressed creativity in an intensely Japanese manner, the brand's often mono-cromatic presentation of color beckons the eye, so too does the irregular assemblance of abstract shapes and symbols. A candy coated tee is essentially an unwrapped chocolate box (hence the name i guess) meet the creators and view an exclusive taster of this seasons collection at candycoatedjewels.com

but i stand by my original point.....
american apparel purple,

do not equate to regal 'purple-dom'....

styled by us"

2008-02-24T18:10:00.001-08:00

now, if u frequent my myspace page in an obsessive manner (i know you exist, you know who you are... and yes you scare me slightly, but thats another topic)....
you may be aware that i'm currently embarking on a re-branding / re-styling project with 3 of my beautiful friends....
independent record companies, boutique owners and designers are our intended clientèle... think of it as style re-formation and product placement, and your halfway there.
"us styling" is our name
and heres a little peek at the crew (myself, nate, rox and justyn)......
btw the 'polaroid look' was a stylistic choice.... so don't be fooled by the scrappy composition!.... ya damn luddittes!

west-end street style

2008-02-24T17:40:00.000-08:00

only a few pics.... the day was quite uneventful, however, i stumbled across a few jewels in the dust (it doesnt matter that some of these guys are my friends... its still streetstyle dammit!..... )

gavin dias!

2008-02-24T16:42:00.000-08:00

Gavin Dias! theres literally nothing this guy can't do, I've known him for agessss now, but i'm constantly taken aback by his talent... an illustrator by trade, artist by profession (a statement thoroughly devoid of sense, nevertheless, totally applicable) Dias seriously compromises the artistic careers of a few people.
now rambling is a method of communication often associated with me, so i'll hold back and let the images speak for themselves... enjoy :)

90's obscurity

2008-02-24T14:04:00.001-08:00

am i wrong in thinking these are sick? and not in a "lil wayne mentioned la gears in a track so i know like them even though my younger brother would rather die than walk next to me" way... nope, i like them in a nostalgic "coolest kid in (pre-)school" way. so.... no doubt they went out of style (in a major way), but, in hindsight they were merely replaced by 120pound 1995-7 nikes and bright green adidas monstrosities.... i keep hearing people saying they are gonna bring them back, drop them on road etc, but i'm yet to see this 'daring statement' showcase itself in physical form. i found these on rareairshoes.com

moving on...these guys make me wanna cry, im seriously gonna die if i see anyone wearing them, so i'm trying to work out why i just posted them up (the puma's i mean... the la gears can relax)..... i suggest y'all check this site out, its pretty basic but then it does offer a few rarities, so hey, who's complaining......

cliche

2008-02-24T13:44:00.000-08:00

I know you like this... and why wouldnt you? infact, you've probably been scouring sites in the vain attempt to locate and purchase something similar. You may (and lets not lie here) have attempted to 'make' your own ... am i wrong?
It takes alot to be able 2 accurately pin-point a gap in the marketplace, let alone fill it. Yet, as enthusiastically stressed by its creator, "Cliché isnt a brand, its an idea". A pretty dope one at that. The brand nostalgically re-invents the iconic african leather medallion. Famously sported by an array of rappers, pro black figures and zulu-nation representatives, the red, black and green colourways (the african flag of nations) made the leather medallion far more than just an ineffectual trend.... its very existance challenged the repression of 80's / 90's black american society and encouraged realistic and potentially immediate change.

Now, im pretty sure you knew all of that already, my momentously epic rant was admittedly unnecessary, but when i saw this collection, my heart skipped a beat. To start off with, Cliché (a relatively new force) can already boast features in vibe magazine, trace magazine, fader and more, and non-specific features in many more publications, photoshoots and the like.

Showcasing the vivid neckwear on a regular basis, Brooklyn natives and super crew the retrokids are major fans of the 'idea',
often favouring Cliché over it's vintage precursor. It's clear to see why. The product designer interprates, he doesnt copy... sticking closely to the original 'template', the typical Cliché medallion is constructed out of the finest leather, intricately stitched and hung... however... the label's trademark colour-ways and un-ambiguous product names, deserve a pause.
pastel?, metallic? citrus? neon?, 'starburst', 'grown n sexy', 'represent'... or in a few words, a moulded encapsulation of the last 30years (or more) of unadulterated progressive rebellion.

lethargy

2008-02-24T13:08:00.001-08:00

boredom.... a strong force.... right now i 've fallen victim to it's claws... this basic 'use the videos to avoid typing' post, is the result of my lethargy :) relatively mainstream, yet strangely forgotten, these tracks help my relaxation process.... maybe too well (i promise proper forthcoming posts)

antenna how i love thee

2008-02-24T11:28:00.000-08:00

oh antenna how i love thee.... everything about this simplistic dedication to wearable fashion and culture stuns me... a collectible publication in its own right. i often pour through its perfectly constructed pages like an already erratic eyeball subjected to a tornado of visual stimulation!

maybe i shouldnt admit to this but...

2008-02-24T11:03:00.000-08:00

i used to fancy bucky o'hare and throttle... now as many have stated, the aforementioned are indeed cartoons, tremendously pixelated tributes to early 90's animation at that... yet as a child, they were real, so darn real.
i blame throttle (the dark grey biker mouse) for my current affliction... 'badboy attraction syndrom.. or b.a.s
he was so damn ghetto, i loved it... i'm quite sure that after his contractual agreement expired, he went to the west-coast, invested in a low-rider and circled the block in a red bandana and chuck-lo ensemble. he probably has 7 kids, 6 baby momma's and 8dogs, one of which hold's the admirable claim of dog-fighter of the year....
but i still love him.
long live the cartoon.... cos' i kno y'all fancy jessica rabbit! (ok so shes a human, but its the same thing dammit)

skinny man, finsbury park and a camera

2008-02-24T10:38:00.001-08:00

its the award tour baby

2008-02-24T10:29:00.001-08:00

To appreciate the success of the award tour brand, one simply requires vision and memory. This is essentially, 1992 objectified. Now, to actively complicate matters, fully understanding the brand as a concept, (a movement as it were) requires more than just superficial aesthetic appreciation... an instinctual and almost maternal bond to hip-hop is a formal requirement. Not only does this clothing line embody en era, it evokes an emotion.

To dramatically simplify things and perhaps visit the potentially blunt realms of ‘the cliché’...
“To truly know the award tour, you must live the award tour” ....or atleast know a little something about ‘the tribe’ and influential 90's rap.
A riddle for some, a confirmation of suitability for others, whatever the case, put your preconceptions aside.
This is not a ‘diamante with airbrushed tupac’ organization. Nor is it an ‘80s baby’ “ / bringing back green and pink shell-suits” organization.
These tee’s aren’t replicated vintage tee’s, this isn’t costume-wear. The award tour incorporate post 2007 design and 90’s color-ways to create a vibe.
Peep the black midnight marauders shirt (a classic).
The award tour represents those that grew up in, saw and wore the 90’s. Fundamentally, it’s a vibe thing... you know, the type of vibe that makes you wanna bump ‘electric relaxation’, mellow down to ‘Brooklyn sky’ and quote bambaataa lyrics because, well, u feel like doing it.
The award tour is real, so real infact, that it inadvertently puts most ‘neon reliant’ graphic-lines to shame.
Notable 90’s rap lyrics are stylistically and famously binded into the design of a lot of these iconic tees, so too are recognizable, re-worked logo’s and crests. My personal favorite? the official, and highly collectible beanie, (I want / need one).
Exploring the award tour as a conceptual legacy, is an experience in its own right, the guy behind it all; Lochness and his multi-talented partners in crime (Juice, King-d, ARC, Ellington and Cre-hated) live, love and breath the brand, it’s a way of life.
Objectified into a stunning range of tee’s, sweats and hats (the diversity of which suggest impending fortune and success for these guys) a love for graphic cartoons, animation, gadgetry and fashion in general is conclusively the award tour's backbone... (the insanely funny friendship they share is also a contributing factor.... take a look at the blog videos and you will understand).
The vivid tees appeal to you, me, him and her. The trick? Well who knows? but I can safely say that the brand’s dramatically bold text and intensely 90’s colour-ways make each garment fresh and vibrant, yet incredibly wearable.

note* a cheap base metal rope chain and stupid plastic glasses are not an acceptable addition to ‘the award tour look’ ...its all about the tee, well, the tee and the ability to trigger off envious directional gazes.

kel spencer night (the guy on that fantasia track). i love the fact that this happened last year but i'm posting pics now..... tut tut tut loool
it was pretty cool though.... his younger bro blaze called me up and told me about it, seeing as market place is like 5mins away from my house, i could hardly decline the offer could i?
nice night.

2008-02-24T09:44:00.000-08:00

all hail this guy.... i'm quite convinced he's one of the coolest dudes in london (and no i don't know who he is, but i'm sure he does something v.important).... scope him killing the supreme but not 'killing' it if u know what i mean.... lot 29 massive go home, your time is over (error345278 belated 2004 message 473920 error)

obligatory kick post

2008-02-24T09:24:00.001-08:00

it's time for the obligatory kick post.... by no means am i a sneaker head, but i know that my own spizikes, classic pumps n gazelles connote style on an acceptable level..... one thing i will say however.... is this...... i'm probably more of a kick fiend than most, based on the shocking realization that most self proclaimed 'sneakerheads' (that claim to own more than 40 kicks), generally stock up in footlocker and size? (fine examples of ltd edition sneaker boutiques.....ye ok)
don't get me wrong... i've met a few passionate collectors... Sam for example (check top friends), but most.... well darn..... im inclined to believe that wearing these (with matching everything) ....

doesn't do much to contribute exclusivity to your look.

don't u dare turn around and say "they r kinda sick tho still, man could drop them, man could do an 80's thing, u get me blud" either
.... get off my damn blog.

dali meets funk

2008-02-24T09:08:00.000-08:00

album art.... i love / loved it... now... im hoping you recognize at least one of these albums, if not... the first is miles davis' classic 'bitches brew', the other a legendary production by west african supergroup osibisa... maybe im a loser, but this is real music.
I digress... this blog is suppossed to be about cover art, so cover art it shall be about!
these covers represent something special, they are so Dali-esque its surreal (hmm do i detect a contadiction in terms??)
i suggest we take a look at these babies, and flicker through our own collection of pre 1994 funk / hip hop albums, reflect on the crap we see 2day and wonder what the hell is wrong with judging a book by its cover!...

richard shoyemi!

2008-02-24T08:53:00.000-08:00

The coolest person i know, seriously. Richard Shoyemi 'the world's youngest fashion stylist' is doing major things. Confirmation of his expertise is delivered via mere glimpse of the guy, he personifies style. i first met Richard at an industry networking event in hoxton and was instantly captivated by his charismatic approach to fashion and life in general. Dressed head to toe in the ostentatious obscurities of a style guru, (see photograph, taken at 3am in a wind tunnel, location yet to be remembered) he sported a fox fur gilet (long), a light cotton plaid shirt, a sunflower yellow bow-tie, cut-off cowboy boots (sprayed gold), a gold casio, a vintage chanel cuff, a diamante cocktail sized ring, heavily applied eye liner and tapered ankle jeans.

Conformity to trend, (a comparitively one-dimensional concept) insults the very fabric of Richards' personality, he simply adhers to his own indefinable, yet intricately formulated style.

Richard Shoyemi's brilliance doubles as a conceptual dream, wasted within the confines of description. The stylists astounding ability to put theory into practice, pre-empting and creating the 'looks' of the near future, is best conveyed visually... When you see a Shoyemi outfit, you know it.
To Richard, co-ordination is a matter of opinion, he re-formulates 'normality' with his daring arrangements of convention. In a notable shoot, Shoyemi blends 50's, 60's and post 1990 couture. Pairing a classically tailored, mono-chromatic detailed tulip dress, with an insanely 'mcqueen-esque' metal belt, red polo neck and acidic blue fur coat, the talented stylist manipulates and the perplexed eye. The result? A beautiful if somewhat compounded contradiction.

At only 20, Mr Shoyemi has an infinitely mesmerising portfolio, Having been profiled in The Guardian, His work featured in Vogue, rwd and many other publications, he is a virtually incontestable force. Disregarding convention in more ways than one, he has an aura, a diva-like presence, yet admist this, he is a man devoid of pretence.

Admittedly, Fame forecasts are often dubious and unreliable, yet one thing i can safely say, is that 2008 is all about the 'creative prodigy', or Richard Shoyemi as one might put it.

"r@ndomchild" welcomes you to her seemingly boring yet imminently exciting blog! now... i have very little to say regarding myself, im pretty boring.. a nerd to be precise.... note* im a real nerd... not an "i wear cool back frames and cool braces holding a cool manga comic (which i've never cared to open) - type... nope.. i'm actually an "i sit in borders reading books about the world, science and various sea depths"! type of nerd.
My introduction to the equally nerdy world of 'alternative coolness' came as a result of my almost obsessive passion for hip hop... eastcoast (pre-94 hip hop 2 b irritably specific).
my days off are spent bmxing, bumping hip hop (digable planets notably), learning to board (this proving to be harder than first thought), playimg the piano, taking pics of just about everything and catching major jokes whilst shopping with my peeps.
my work days???????? well "r@ndomchild" is a freelance journalist, photographer and is currently setting up an online boutique and launching a magazine....
..... i went in to 3rd person there lool... adds an air of professionalism don't u think :)
anyways, my rambling may secure this blogs digression... so i'll stop.... :)
catch me wondering around carnaby street aimlessly!
