{Watch}:: A Star-Studded Event. LOUIS VUITTON Men’s Spring-Summer 2024 Fashion Show by Pharrell Williams

Last night, the Louis Vuitton Men's Spring-Summer 2024 Fashion Show took place in Paris, France.  What an event it was. Since the announcement in February of Pharrell Williams taking the Men's Creative Director role, it's been up from there.  Personal invitations were sent to A-list Celebrities and Fashion lovers across the globe, who showed up and showed out.  Don't mistake that for being the highlight of the event.   The allure of the entire show held a level of fascinating command on its own.  

    A variety of very well styled pieces and models walked the runway at the Maison with unwavering attention.  Pharrell presented a soundtrack of new songs that debuted on this very special evening, including a Clipse reunion (where Pusha T takes noticeable shots at rapper Jim Jones).  Pharrell's version of Unspeakable Joy with the Choir and production was absolutely phenomenal.  Bravo.  Catch more photos and the video of the entire fashion show after the jump!   

Jaden Smith to open a Restaurant that will Give Free Food to the Homeless

 Pay it forward.

In 2019, Jaden Smith launched an initiative called "I Love You" for his 21st birthday... a free vegan food truck that made it's way on Skid Row in LA to feed the homeless; serving nearly 8,000.  Now, Smith is taking it up a notch and evolving this project to a restaurant.  

His idea for the "I Love You" restaurant is...  "It's for homeless people to get free food.  but if you're not homeless, not only do you have to pay but you have to pay for more than the food's worth so that you can pay for the person behind you".  Interesting concept.  The idea alone deserves all the kudos.  I am looking forward to seeing the final execution.

{Personal Post} PHOTOS:: Broccoli City Festival 2015 + 'we are all DOOMed' art exhibit inspired by MF DOOM

Same day.  Two separate events.

The first half of this post is the Broccoli City Festival 2015 #BCfest.  

The second half is the 'we are all DOOMed' art exhibit... inspired by MF Doom @ Blind Whino.  I wasn't able to capture mad videos and photos of each artist in order to preserve battery life.  When I went to the charging station to get some juice, the power surge went out. lol.  I did have two videos, but they didn't make the cut for the post.  You can find some nice shots and vids of the event on @balleralert IG though. 

I have plentyyyy commentary but going with the brief option on this one.
Here's a glimpse of what I was able to capture.. 

Beast Mode | Jaden Smith x Ta-Ku

"Jaden, you are sick!" 
screw ya medicine...

YO.  Who told lil Jaden to rip this track like that!?  Elite example of 'going in'.  Here's a three record collab with Ta-Ku, all soul, delivered in one as 'Beast Mode'.  Too many quotables for me to even try and note them all. 

"...beat you... and I already did it."  

Just press play:: 

Passionate V3 | Jaden Smith

I'm just tryna spit some lyrics
that are more insightful
but you just call me bi-po...

Within the first five seconds, I immediately recognized the sample and fell in love with the loop...  Produced by Daniel D'Artiste, this 1:46 track exhibits Jaden's unique {under acknowledged} flow over a nostalgic beat.  It's all about the passion of it.....

Talk to God on my own bro, wit no bible...
