Chic& Beats- The Real Vs The Deal: Get The Look Balmain Vs LA Vintage

So in 2009 Beyonce wore a sequenced and brightly colored Balmain dress to the BET Awards. I really liked this red carpet look on Beyonce and loved the jagged hem remenicent of flinstone chic and the brightly colored jewel tones. Recently when shopping on the site lavintage.com I found a dress with similar design elements for the steal price of $69.00. Get it while its hot.

The Real: Balmain $$$$$$$$(thousands of dollars)





The Deal: LA Vintage $69.00

Beats: Mixtape Monday! Big K.R.I.T-K.R.I.T Wuz Here

So recently I, came across Big K.R.I.T's video for his song "Children of The World" and found my self fully captivated and aw struck by his lyrically eloquent way of commenting on the inequalities of society &how they create the "a dream differed" complex among our future. I first became aware of Big K.R.I.T on Wiz Khalifa's song "Glass House" featured on the Kush and Orange Juice Mixtape but soon realized that my previous knowledge of K.R.I.T barely scratched the surface. After having my interest further peaked by his music video I downloaded the K.R.I.T Wuz Here mixtape and have been listening to it ever since. The mixtape is a good listen all the way through not a bad track on it. Big K.R.I.T is somewhat of a renaissance man being that in addition to writing all the tracks he produces all the beats (which might I say all go hard). If I could some up the mixtape briefly he reminds me of the conscious words of common, a delivery style that favors Pimp C on some songs and beat kick reminiscent of Mannie Fresh's days as the Cash Money resident producer. Take a look at the music video below and get that mixtape I promise you that you will not regret it.
