Salute to Myron Rolle.
Today I salute Myron Rolle, former Florida State Seminole, not for being stylish (though I’m not trying to imply he’s isn’t) but for being a beacon of success in both athletics and academics. I salute him for being the quintessential example of the oft mislabeled student-athlete. As a former student athlete that played college football...
H1GHER LEARNING part deaux.
In addition to fashion blogs what kind of sites do you frequent? Me personally I love music and design sites. Not fashion design because those are a dime-a-dozen, but more specifically branding and packaging design. I image that in another life I would be a graphic designer specializing in making cool package ideas and selling them...
Music: Joe Scudda – Not your average Joe (FreEP)
Truth be told my knowledge of this dope North Carolina based MC is limited to his feature on the soon-to-be-defunct Southern super group, Little Brother’s outstanding concept album, the Minstrel Show. He murked. Point blank. But then I saw him on some mixtape that I thought featured like 5 other rappers and honestly I just didn’t want...
Growing up is hard to do.
A couple of days ago one half of The Hundreds founding duo, Bobby “That’s not your real last name, is it?” Hundreds, wrote a very compelling statement on his personal feelings about streetwear “growing up”. If you are a streetwear fan like myself then it’s totally worth your read. But in the post he mentioned...
Pardon the interruption: But ain't this a beeeetch.
See–see what I’m saying? This is the foolishness I was talking about. I don’t know when it became cool to praise and monetize the ignorant behavior of our favorite celebrities but this has got to stop. Unless maybe some self-righteous blow hard gets arrested and you wear a FREE (Bill O’Reilly/Glenn Beck, you get...
Weezy F. Baby: A time for reflection.
Although you may know the difference between right and wrong, between what’s real and what’s fake. There are many people out there that don’t. Our children (in a collective sense) in many cases do not. I love the star the Wayne has become and he holds an especially close place in my heart because I quite...
Hello Snow, meet my Bean boots.
With the trace of the snow that befell Charleston, South Carolina last weekend all gone I thought I’d take this time to show the visual proof of my Bean boots doing something I never imagined would happen (at least in this city): walk on snow. Not snow as in “Jezzy the Snowman” but snow as in...
Don't be that guy: A formal introduction.
As you may or may not know, this site was created with the mindset of enlightenment. I want to increase the style quotient in the South, particularly within the “urban” demographic, and the only way to do that is to share the wealth. H1GHER LEARNING was created to be an open platform in which those that...
