Whats Hot or What’s Now?

We often find ourselves trying to be involved with whats current and not with whats relevant. Dressing in the latest fashion, downloading the latest song, being consumed with whats right now, and not whats right is an American staple. For some reason if you haven't heard the new 50 track that dropped 30 seconds ago, your not cool. We follow Hollywood trends of fashion and style like it's gospel. Evaluate things on your own and don't be a follower because your favorite rapper co signed something. Everyone should do their own thing. Dress in what YOU think is fly, not what Kanye said is fly. I'm sure Kanye isn't looking to us for fashion or music advice. He does his own thing. And that's why he has been able to be so successful, by being bold, different, and more importantly himself. Lupe Fiasco's The Cool was partially based on a comment by Dr. Cornel West saying, "The things that we think are cool now in the future will be uncool." Don't get caught up in the hype. Be yourself.

The Cool Pose

This is absolutely random, but why do the coolest brothas on earth all sit cross legged? I'm sitting here watching a video of Denzel Washington, and he's sitting on Tavis Smiliey's couch for 45 minutes in a cross legged position. Then it dawns on me that Barack was on the same couch on Tavis' show, sitting in the same OG position. And I'm not talking about the one where the ankle rests on the top of knee. I'm talking about the joint where the thigh is on top of the knee. Only a true G can sit in that awkward ass position for that long and walk away cooler than when he sat down. Big up to the 40 plus BBoy stance.
