I have to honestly state that I have been extremely impressed with Kanye West these past few months. Aside from him staying out of the media with negative publicity and those "infamous" remarks he makes over religion and politics, he has just been out making GOOD music (no pun intended). The music that is being released by Kanye and his G.O.O.D. fridays has really been on another level from what other artists are putting out. Im trying to ride, but i have to say that Im impressed of him as more than artist because he has also produced most of the biggest hits by other artists. He has also cleaned up his image with something that he calls the "Rosewood Movement" which is "the institution of a group-wide participation within his music label G.O.O.D.. While aesthetically, the Rosewood Movement stresses a certain sartorial flair involving suits, the initiative goes beyond fashion and requires those involved to showcase exemplary behavior towards others and to be a model citizen within society" says Hypebeast.com. This is good for the avid followers of music and high fashion because it is stressing that you can me "cool" or "that nigga" without having baggy jeans, excessive tats, and gold teeth. The movement pushes for more "clean language", basically no cursing in public and having polite manners, etc. It has reinstated that you can be young and still be mature and grown up, and actually look sophisticated with ur attire. To actually look like Ye and the rest of G.O.O.D. music you would have to purchase the same suit that they all wear which is a basic skinny black suit, by Dior Homme which runs you about 2200 a suit. I honestly dont have that kind of money but I still do support the rosewood movement and the music by Ye..keep up the good work my dude
Angels & Politics is a clothing line that ive created in Febuary. It all happened kinda fast, and it came across as sort of an epiphany. The meaning of the line is basically angels represent the non materialistic things in life like faith, religion, spiritual kind of things. The politics is basically the opposite, which represent the cars, clothes, money etc..basically the materialistic things in life. So i guess its a depiction on wat u rather live life for, the angels or the politics.

The Kanye Takeover
I have to honestly state that I have been extremely impressed with Kanye West these past few months. Aside from him staying out of the media with negative publicity and those "infamous" remarks he makes over religion and politics, he has just been out making GOOD music (no pun intended). The music that is being released by Kanye and his G.O.O.D. fridays has really been on another level from what other artists are putting out.

Mediocrity Equals Failure A&P
The meaning of the word mediocre is, of only ordinary or moderate quality; neither good nor bad; barely adequate, and rather poor or inferior.....This is taken directly from the dictionary. The reason why I wanted this statement to be the concept of this 2010 line of Angels & Politics shirts is because those three words speak volumes. It is way deeper than clothes or fashion, this statement touches every individual that was told that nothing is wrong with being average at a young age, which to me is the most ignorant and simple-minded thing that someone can say to another. This really affects me because I know for a fact that I am not average and no one else should think of themselves as "ordinary or moderate" either...I feel that once you accept your life and your lifestyle as "mediocre" then thats when you Fail. You are basically giving up on life because that means from now on, you dont want to better yourself, excel in life, create better opportunites for yourself and for those around you...I just feel that this shirt are for those that are confident and that are out in the world on the grind and are trying to achieve their goals and aspirtations in life...I hope you enjoyed the design with the Vatican sculpture on the back representing Angels and the Republican and Democrat platform symbols on the front, represting Politics. I apologize for the year delay on shirts, my freshman year of college was the most busiest and exciting time in my life and this summer I was blessed with a government job that had me working full time, so shirts kind of went on the back burner. But now they're back and anyone that wants a shirt, you know where to contact me.
