Artist: Jacob El Hanani, born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1947. He attended The Tel Aviv School of Fine Artsin Tel Aviv, Israel and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He lives and works in New York City. He’s known for his ability to draw fabrics.

This is what our evenings have come down to: pouring with the best of them. I mean, after being in the Hamptons with Susan L. Taylor and then going to her private home–to having wine with Jacob; we call him that. It was decided: why would we be out event hopping. We spend our nights doing homework with the Greats. Such an eventful day. Hours following the filming of the previous post Groovy Power Clap, Sham & I went to the penthouse–which use to be damn near the projects back in the day–of artist Jacob El Hanani. His spot is located on Broadway across from Topman. He told us his rent use to be one hundred and fifty dollars, but now it’s worth three million. Yes gag.

We sat and had conversations for hours, took a sneak peak at his upcoming works and had the best wine.
This is what life is about. 31st century: how you get two black kids hanging out with person from Morocco
that was born in 1947 and that have accent. You be like–what huh? Huh what?
But it’s no language barrier when you talk inspiration and being inspired.

Event: Nike World Basketball Festival, Radio City Music Hall

I got on my vintage Versace shades on tonight/I’m bringing Versace back. I said, I’m bringing Versace shades back! Ha! And Lastnight I headed to the 2010 Nike World Basketball Festival; Jay-Z performed and Phifer got his ticket personally from @jameelspencer, the Chief Marketing Officer for the Roc Apparel Group–overseeing the marketing for Rocawear, State Property, Pro Keds, Team Roc and all of the brands under the umbrella of the Roc.

Phifer is the new printing press; tell your friends I said HELLO.

Swiss Legend all black w/rose gold + AW07 sneaks
Yes, great seats I had, I was sitting right behind Adrienne Bailon
Was never into basketball unless I had great seats; Lamar Odom is a beast
Jay, so many #reasonbledoubt moments
I love these Neil Barrett pants, a modern twist on a cargo. Kind of. And my Versace shades came
straight from Las Vegas, Dennaya Famous boutique, had to get a little disrespectful and find me a new chick!

Yall stay safe.

Xo,
Mp

On your marks, get set, ready, go.

Saturday from 3-7pm, kids over 21 crowed this warehouse on West Street to witness performances by Roc Nations own J.Cole & Wale brought to you by Heineken–Inspire #concert. But ofcourse we had to hit you with that HEAT ROCK–the secret was Rick Ross, #specialguest. When he hit the stage the whole crowd went up in a roar. And everyone came out.
And this is how you represent LB, I see you Sophia
Yes, the LateBoots family always enter through the press line, cause we’re the press and the talent
Backstage ballroom dancing with the red slips on
I love Amanda King, she’s so refreshing
On stage with Rick Ross. BWAHHHAHAHAHHA

Rick Ross as he makes his exit off stage.

Next stop LA LA LAnd.
I’m going back to Cali.

And after the event, we headed to the Nike block party. They served food but Sham & I skipped the mac n cheese, ribs,
collard greens and robbed the ice cream truck instead. Best ice cream ever. It tasted like velvet if it had a taste.

Block party was in Soho, lol but everyone was reppin their hood from Queens, BK, but I’m trying to start a FDBC–Financial District Boys Club.

There I is–she beeped me meet me at 12.

Time-3:02am, leaving Meat Packing District–Bevy Smith, Tyson Beckford, Legendary Damon, Ugo Mozie, and my Honey B.

La la la la la la la la.
My life should be on Animal Planet–I’m an animal; half crazy, half Mammalia.
We took the train to Philly, checked in, then held a dinner for Philly’s most influential.
Next day concert with Roc Nations own J.Cole, Dj Jazzy Jeff, Musiq, and Marsha Ambrosius.

I now travel in all black, the TImberland Colrain Reissue 8″ Boot retailed at $400.00
Last train to Philly; home of Jim’s cheesesteaks
For some odd reason, Philly cabs don’t have AC in the back
I like their uniform jackets, gives me a little military feel
*Team Epiphany; coming to a city near you
Even I can’t run away from it; it finds me everywhere I go
Hit up the Ralph Lauren store. My outfit is so disrespectful
100 plus degrees so after our mission was accomplished we rolled out.
Next city NYC.

Yeah I’m #alreadyhome

#ohyoufancyhuh, what did you expect? You, love, me. They keep saying that I’m the next, so I’ll just continue to eat these low fat muffins. I should be on hustle probation, I’m about to lose my license so I can continue to be chauffeured. And at this point I’m about to start attending operas’ and playing golf. I’m redoing my friends circle, and for starters the requirements: multiple addresses–tell a friend. A little shallow yeah, but I enjoy swimming.

Honey B and myself snuck out the city of New York and headed to her parents house in the Hamptons. Keeping it 100 I forgot what event we went to earlier this day, and Honey B is sleep as I type this at 4:08am. We just knew that we had to show up. We had a table, so we dressed well.

Later in the evening Brooke’s parents held a soiree for L. Londell McMillan at their East Hampton home
Lol, she’s so modest; but I’m not. Guest included: Gayle King and Star Jones was at the house like “Hey Brooke how is school…this is your last year right?” At that point I was done. First name basis. And now I be acting like I don’t know how to work my phone–let me hit you back.

LADIES—my RSVP holds four names. We wearing this new found street fame…..like a rosary. I couldn’t miss my two favorite gettin money twins, Dee & Ricky switched up their flow; watch them.

POPULAR! I’ll help you be popular! You’ll hang with the right cohorts, you’ll be good at sports, know the slang you’ve got to know. So let’s start, ’cause you’ve got an awfully long way to go! Don’t be offended by my frank analysis, think of it as personality dialysis, now that I’ve chosen to become a pal, a brother and advisor, there’s nobody wiser! Not when it comes to…
