School of Visual Arts' THINK CAMPAIGN




In an effort to get people to think, the School of Visual Arts launched their “Think” Campaign which features everyday objects made to resemble loose-leaf paper (college-ruled) so people can write down their ideas

What Happened to the And 1 Mixtape?



I'm not here to bash any of the newest And 1 Mixtape ballers, however, where are the legends? Is it me or did Hot Sauce never seem that good? To me, it seemed like Skip started it and Alimoe finished it. Nothing after. And 1 did a great job of FUCKIN UP THE STREET BALL Legacy! I'm a basketball junkie myself so I know the old legends of Rucker and of Black Tops everywhere such as The Goat, Dr J, Peewee, Helicopter, Jumpin' Jack, Connie, etc. For a long time, the blacktop basketball era remained a secret society until And 1 came and put out the mixtapes. Volumes 1 through 3 were hot. After that, they seemed to dilute the basketball world and turned it from pure, honest, hard-nosed, flashy basketball games to just a "business." WTF??? Skip revitalized the BlackTop world, The Black Widow carried the torch and the Professor and his squad dropped the ball. There's nothing wrong with making money but remember, everyone complained when Nas sold out and gave us wack albums such as Nastradamus, right? Nobody wants to hear Ja Rule sing anymore, correct?

So STOP putting out bullshit mixtapes and get back to the roots!

PLEASE BRING BASKETBALL BACK!!!
