FLY KICKS OF THE DAY: Air Jordan 12 - Flu Game

Michael Jordan was literally sick in Game 5 of the 1997 finals vs the Utah Jazz. Battling the flu he scored 45 in a Bulls win. These shoes commemorate that game. This shoe made some changes from the original 12 like adding nubuck to the upper, putting his stats on the heel and some weird mr yuk looking face on the tongue. Jordan heads are split on these but I think they're "sick" (I'm so corny) These officially released n Nov 17 for a retail tag of $170. Just in time for Black Friday. PS. If you don't know what game I'm talking about peep the video.

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: Wale

If you didn't see this coming you might be slightly retarded. Album sales don't do Wale's debut Attention Deficit justice. (We'll just blame that on distribution) Attention Deficit was one of the best reviewed albums of the year and even received an XL rating from XXL magazine. To put that in perspective I can count on one hand how many albums got an XXL. So there's nowhere to go but up for the DMV native. If you really want to know who wale is it's best you start from the beginning.....

Dig Dug Shake It - Wale!

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Wallpaper - Gettin Drip

I'll admit I was a little late getting hip to indie Band Wallpaper but I recognize now. If you've never heard of them they're like a mix of T-Pain & Asher Roth, trapped in Snoop Dogg's Sexual Eruptions video. Known for their cheesy yet creative lyrics and on purpose low budget videos which are always hilarious, Wallpaper is just feel good music. Its not too serious and I think they're in on the joke. Their album Doodoo Face dropped back in september, go cop it off iTunes.

TECH FLYNESS: Verizon Droid Phone

Verizon owners can finally rejoice. They finally have a phone that can compete with the iphone and the G1 in the touch phone wars. The Droid Phone is basically a souped up version of the G1 with the newest android upgrades. It excels where the G1 doesn't like adding a headphone jack, a camera with flash and a 16 gb memory stick. Not quite the iPhone killer but it does give em a run for it's money.

FLY ISH OF THE DAY: Good Bully Landover Tee

If youre not from the DMV, specifically PG County then this tee means nothing to you. If you are from PG like me then this shirt is DOPE. This shirt by Good Bully(and modeled by Wale)reps for the city of Landover and incorporates the old Landover Mall logo into it. Real DMV heads from Landover or not should cop this shirt to show their DMV pride. They recently re-upped this tee to meet demand so cop it before its too late.

RANDOM FLYNESS OF THE DAY: Ocho Cinco Condoms

I caught this on Twitter earlier today....Chad Ocho Cinco is a fool for this one. Apparently they have bengal stripes that measure your um, yards. Chad is the funniest guy on Twitter to me(Affion Crockett would disagree)because he keeps finding new ways to keep his fans interested and of course when the Bengals are winning thats always a plus. I wonder if these are actually gonna come out, wonder how many stripes I would get.

Album Of The Week: Wale - Attention Deficit

I been waiting for this album since I heard Dig Dug back in 06. For a while I thought the album was never gonna come but it was well worth the wait. Wale took a more serious approach for this album instead of the more uptempo stuff of his mixtapes. Nevertheless this is a GREAT album and very solid but I expect better from Wale in the future. The DMV is definitely behind Wale on this one now its time for the rest of the world to recognize.

Notable tracks

Pretty Girls - Wale

Diary - Wale

Jam Of The Day: Clipse - Door Man

Them boys from VA are back with this new blazing Pharrell produced single. So far from what I've heard already from Till The Casket Drops promises to be the Clipse's third classic album, but don't take my word for it, listen.....

Throwback Jam Of The Day: Goodie Mob- They Dont Dance No Mo

11 years later and its still true....SMH....I still don't get what the video has to do with dancing but its still a classic.....

Fly Girl of The Week: Tahiry Jose

I first saw this chick in complex magazine and all I really know about her is that she's a bartender and Joe Budden's ex....I dont know where it went wrong but I can think of a couple places it didn't...

Video of The Day: Jay-Z - Party Life (Vh1 Storytellers)

Its crazy that Hov is about 3 weeks away from his 40th bday and he's still the illest rapper alive. Say what u want about Weezy or whoever but Jay-Z basically invented the "swag"(overused word)that every rapper dreams of having on the mic and off. This video is from his 2007 Vh1 storytellers concert for American Gangster. I can honestly say this performance alone made me want to buy this album. (Party life is my favorite cut from this album too). Just watch Jigga do his thing and enjoy...

FLY KICKS OF THE DAY: Nike Foamposite Copper

I been gone for a minute but I'm back and How Fly:The Blog is up and running. With that I bring you this crack The Nike Foamposite Copper. Ever since pics were taken of Wale wearing these at a concert a few weeks ago The internet has been buzzing with hype, easily the most anticipated shoe of 2010. These beauties drop in February and word is retail is $200 so its gonna cost you a shiny penny (get it?) but sneaker heads will have no problem breaking open their piggy banks.
