SWAY FRESH: DATE + PRICE + ELECTROLIMES

We knew 2012 would be a big sneaker year due to a lot of the news we got during 2011. There will be a lot of Foams this year, and there will be a few new color schemes. These lovely pair officially have a date set at March 17th. There is only one downside to these the price has gone up to $220. We know that won't stop you all from getting them. We will get you more info as is comes to us.


"Whats Fly to someone who Orbits"

SWAY WHAT???: WIZ GETTING SUED FOR 2MILL???

Well it seems Wiz Khalifa may have a major lawsuit on his hands. A songwriter named Max Gregory Warren is claiming that the "Black and Yellow" concept was taken from a song he wrote in 2008 called "Pink and Yellow". Along with Khalifa, Rostrum, Warner, and EMI are also named in the lawsuit. Warren is looking to claim 2,375,000, due to the attempt to "engage in a scheme to defraud plaintiff out of the fruits of his copyright of the subject song." Wow this is a unique one, we have heard of a lot of lawsuits as of late, but this one is a little more interesting. We will keep you posted as the details arise.

SWAY FRESH: HAZLENUT + SPORT RED BLAZERS


We bring you yet another dope sneaker you may need in your collection. We own a few pairs of Blazers, from non-swoosh, to non-lace, to custom Space Camp edition pairs. These Blazers are clever with a higher grade premium suede, and more casual feel. There is not much to be said about these we declare them SWAYworthy. The price isn't to steep at $100, but are currently only available at Boston Concepts. So these will not be the easiest to acquire.

NO SWAY: RAYMOND FELTON TAKES SHOTS AT RUSSELL WESTBROOK

As of late Russell Westbrook has caught alot of heat for his play. We do feel at times Westbrook may need to be more reserved, but The Thunder are and have been winning. Our stance is let it go, until we see Kevin Durant stating that his play style is plaguing the team, it's not a problem. Now fans across the board, along with analyst have chimed in with their opinion on the situation, but now a player wants to get involved. The Blazers guard Raymond Felton has added his two cents after they beat OKC.

"That's the type of guy he is," Felton told the Oregonian after the Blazers beat the Thunder on Tuesday, "that's his mindset, that's how he plays. He's always in a one-on-one battle with all the point guards. I'm not really into that. I'm into winning. If you win, everybody gets the praises. We are not wearing 'Felton' on the front of our jerseys; it says Blazers. I care about the Blazers winning."

Listen we like Felton, but dude how is this your business. Now we are well aware that Westbrook has given Felton on court troubles the last 2 seasons when they have met. This could be the reasoning for his statements. Regardless this is a lame move on his behalf, NO SWAY.


"Every win ain't a win and sometimes a loss ain't a loss"

SWAY IN: THE RZA DOES CHELSEA LATELY AND TALKS POSITIVES

The RZA is a hip hop legend, and in our eyes the greatest hip hop producer of all time. That's a bold statement, but due to the fact he was producing entire albums worth of greatness, we don't feel it could be anyone else. He recently did an interview on Chelsea Lately and spoke on the focus it takes for his new endeavors and sobering up. Now we are aware of the full extent of a non sober RZA (the released version of Bulletproof Wallets). RZA has accomplished alot for the hip hop community, crossing over in to acting, scoring, and directing. Check out the interview below.

"Making music and weed kind of went together for me," he explained. "Many years, I've been in the studio making music, making hits and weed was always there but I've transferred myself to directing now. I'm a movie director. You gotta play it sober. I've been playing it sober. Superman focus, Superman stamina, zooming in." 

"Even when you're acting, you've got to keep your mind focused. It's a very unique craft to be taking on different personalities."

"A few years ago, it would have been hard but with the maturity I've grown into, I'm good," he shared. "I have no vices, besides pretty women."

"SWAY > SWAG"

SWAY WHAT???: POSSIBLE T.I. + JEEZY ALBUM

Two of our favorite rappers right now, T.I. and Young Jeezy could be releasing a joint album soon. T.I. recently did an interview with Power 106, where he spoke on putting ATL back on top and then the possible project. We are big fans of both artists and feel that type of album would be epic. Especially due to the features between the two on prior records. But, we do have slight reservations due to WTT not meeting the quality of the prior features. We will keep you notified with this one as the details come out.

“Jeezy and I, we have discussed doing a collaborative album. Right now, we’re both focused on putting Atlanta back on top where we once knew it to be,” said Tip.” In my absence, I’ve seen the city take a backseat, if you will, to other areas and other regions. I’m not trying to sleight nobody’s efforts or nobody’s contributions to the game, but I know what my city represents and I know what my city’s capable of. And if I feel like we’re not living up to our full potential, I’m going to gather all the cats who I know who supposed to ride for the town like I ride and we gon’ get it back right. So that’s what we focused on right now. After we do that, then we can focus on anything else. But first is first.”

SWAY IN: DIDDY SAYS BAD BOY IS GETTING A BAD REP

Recently Diddy did an interview with Dj Whoo Kid were he spoke on the current perception of Bad Boy. He feels that within the last few years Bad Boy has been painted out to be the Bad Guys. To be honest we as well as alot of others don't feel Bad Boy is a bad move due to recent stuff. We are huge Diddy supporters but signing there is a two album deal and its been like that forever!. Along with that after said contract is over few artist are able to move on with their careers. Here are Diddy's views:

“Over the last couple of years, there’s been a strong propaganda movement that’s been brewing in the negative sense against Bad Boy, against what it is to sign to the Bad Boy label, if it’s a detriment to your career,” he said. “Just hate. Just regular hate and also a lot of people not understanding how this industry works.”

“This industry has a life expectancy of two years. It started a couple of years ago like, ‘What happened with this artist? Why isn’t this artist still on the label?’ So people started to try to give us a bad rap and spread that propaganda through the new generation. When honestly, nobody on Def Jam’s still on Def Jam. No one who was on Roc-A-Fella is still on Roc-A-Fella. There’s not even still a Roc-A-Fella. It was named something else. We the last people standing, we the last crew standing. And I’m not saying that with any disrespect towards anybody’s name who I just said. We not letting that propaganda ride.”

NO SWAY: "LEOPARD" NORTH FACE

Listen we understand trends come and go and alot are just phases, but this is one we are not supporting from the gate. North Face has released a Leopard bubble jacket and to be honest we HATE it. The jacket has been seen on Drake, A$AP Rocky, and Tyga. We never took Drake for one of the most stylish people so this is expected but from Tyga and A$AP, this is disappointing. There is NO SWAY what so ever in this fashion fail. And we do not care how popular this becomes, the hype will never make this SWAY.



"Fresh IS"

SWAY FRESH: "FRESH MINT" NIKE MANOR

By now if you don't how we feel about sneakers then this obviously not the site for you. We LOVE sneakers and it varies from basketball, to running, training, casual etc. These may be one of our favorites in a long time. Nike releases their Manor casual sneaker in a beautiful Fresh Mint colorway. These will be owned immediately. We spoke of 2012 being an amazing year for sneakers and its truly looking great. Details are limited on these at the moment but when we get some information, you will have it.

SWAY WHAT???: SNOOP DOES THE PRICE IS RIGHT?

The Hip Hop legend made an appearance on The Price is Right earlier this morning. Snoop played co-host to Drew Carey to raise funds for his Youth Football League. Snoop managed to raise $72,585 for the league, which is amazing. Snoop has and does a lot of giving back, and this is no different. This is a great moment for the Hip Hop community and truly SWAYworthy.

SWAY TECH: SIRI VS. TELLME + ASK ZIGGY

The mobile world has been flooded with alot of Voice Commands within the last year. The most dominant figure has probably been the Iphone 4s with Siri. Droids have sported a voice command and search since early release, but not a reactive one stop feature. Windows came into play with their Mango update. Said update allowed users to allow to "Open App" "Call Contact" "Text Contact" "Search", with their TellMe client. We feel the two best mobile phone options on the market are, The Iphone and WP7 phones. Both very similar given slight differences. There is a new app in the WP7 market called "Ask Ziggy", which adds more of a Siri (animated, question asking, personal) feel to the WP7 voice command. We always felt the voice detection on WP7 was better, it just naturally understands you better. The app is solid but, lacks the fluency that Siri contains; most actions are manual which is slightly annoying. The app is still in its early stages and we are sure with updates it will be formidable. In its full growth, combined with TellMe, we may eventually give the overall Voice Command edge to WP7 over the Iphone.

SWAY IN: 50 CENT SIGNS STREET KING DEAL WITH PEPSI

It seems 50 and Pepsi are doing business again. Earlier he stated on his twitter that Pepsi has just agreed to distribute his Street King energy drink. We all remember when 50 made out with 400mil due to his involvement with Vitamin Water, when they were bought by Pepsi. We congratulate Mr. Jackson for this new opportunity.

SWAY FRESH: REEBOK PUMP AXT "AHCHOO" + EXTRA BUTTER

The Long Island based Extra Butter teamed up with Reebook for a release base up the Dave Chappelle character from Robin Hood: Men in Tights. The Combo together is a light $180, and may be the first Reebok products we have purchased in awhile. The color schemes are superb we must admit. Check Extra Butter for availability. These are truly a SWAYworthy product and worth the mention.



"Play do my Cash Clay, so ALI"

SWAY TECH: BEATS MIXR

We got wind of these Monster Beats by Dre headphones a little while ago. The Mixr headphones are geared toward DJ's and music enthusiasts. They were actually created with the help of David Guetta. They have a much more sleeker design than the Pro and Studio editions. The Mixr's also contain a newer swivel design for the rotating earcups. We just wanted to give these the aided push they may need. We feel they will be solid as an upgrade, but we still mainly recommend the Studio or Pro models. No set date or price for these, check this link here for full details.

SWAY IN: COMPLEX DECLARES 25 MOST STYLISH OF 2011

Said list contains some names we support and highly agree with. The list mentions Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Kanye, Pusha T, just to name a few but, CLICK HERE for the full list.

"Pair of Carrera's. Feet Polo, Jeans True"

SWAY FRESH: NIKE AIR MAX 2012

The Nike Air Max 2012's have jumped on the scene looking to make an immediate splash. The initial color scheme of Volt + Varsity Red, did not have a sold, but this new colorway of Mango + Grey is genius. No official release date for these just yet, but once we are made aware of one we will let you know. These are definitely SWAYworthy and will be added to the collection immediately.

SWAY IN: BROCK LESNAR TO RETIRE FROM UFC

This past Friday Brock Lesnar made his return to the octagon, against similar build striker Alistair Overeem. It was said that Overeem was clearly the better standing fighter, but Brock was determined to stand with him. Brock was the more active of the two from the gate, while it seemed Overeem was just waiting for solid openings to strike. And that he did, Overeem closed the distance between the two and grabbed Brock in a Muay Thai clinch. From there he began sending knees to Lesnar's midsection. It was clear that said knees were taking there toll on Brock. The two seperated after another clinch Overeem then sent a devastating left kick to Lesnar's torso, causing him to immediately take a knee. Alistair then proceeded to punch the down Lesnar for the win by stoppage. Following the fight Lesnar declared his retirement due to family and the health issues he as had lately. Lesnar ends his UFC career at 5 - 3.

SWAY TECH: VZW CANCELS PLANS FOR $2 FEE

Early this week it was reported that Verizon planned on charging $2 to make online payments. We personally felt like this wasn't going to last too long and it has already folded. Jan 15th was the set date to start said payments for mobile and online bill pay. VZW states on their site, due to customer feedback said fees will not occur. Guess that one didn't last too long, customers were clearly upset about the upcoming changes.

SWAY WHAT???: D. ROSE + ADIDAS FOR 250 MILL

Our friends over at TSG just reported, Adidas has offered Derrick Rose a ten year contract that could be worth 250 million. Rose coming off his first MVP season, stock has risen extremely in the last year alone. Adidas feels this is a solid investment due to Rose's sales being competitive with Lebron's in their overseas markets. Congrats to the young superstar, this is definitely SWAYworthy.
