Nike To Let You Reserve Sneakers Via Twitter And Bans Copping Kicks Early?

So I'm on Nice Kicks this morning, and I came across this article. And also saw the detailed line that said midnight releases are banned as well as pre-orders. WOW. If only they knew the joy of having sneakers before everyone else, not because you work there. I know with all the robbing and killing for sneakers business its a safety move, but it sucks. And the Twitter reservations? I'm iffy on that one. Why don't they just make the sneakers more available to the public? And how about banning the price jacking the day after the sneaker releases? MSRP store owners. MSRP! Not that plus 50.

Im undecided on these. I don't really like them too tough, and would have rather Jordan Brand put the OG olympic colors in a package. They are dope, but I'm an OG fanatic when it comes to colorways.
Sony Releasing DVR For PS3?

So I was online and came across this news article that said Sony was releasing a DVR for the PS3. Of course, you know Japan gets all the goodies first and sometimes only, which looks like the case for this little box right here. It would be dope if it came over here to the US. Here is the info I have on it so far:
From: Cnet
The new Sony Nasne tuner and media device, due in Japan on July 19 for 16,980 yen ($209), sort of looks like a miniature PlayStation 3. However, don't let the aesthetics fool you: Nasne contains many features the game console lacks, such as a built-in 500GB hard drive for recording content from digital terrestrial or satellite TV broadcasts.
Perhaps the biggest draw (at least to Sony aficionados) resides in the ability to simultaneously watch live or recorded TV content from Nasne on up to two Sony products within the same home network. Supported devices include the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Vaio computers, and Sony's Tablet and Xperia product lines. The oddly named media hub also serves as a generic DLNA-compatible storage device for photos, videos, and music -- with the option to expand space by connecting an external hard drive via the USB port in the rear.
"We are offering a seamless and unique Sony experience through 'Nasne,' which serves as a home entertainment hub that connects to Sony's various network products," Kazuo Hirai, president and CEO of Sony and chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment, said in a statement. "Nasne will give users more freedom to enjoy television in new ways by enabling them to watch programs on various Sony products through dedicated applications."
Accessing TV content recorded by Nasne varies, but the general experience enables users to: schedule recordings, access media content anywhere on the local network via supported Sony devices, or take content on the go (e.g. transfer a recorded TV show from Nasne to the PS Vita or a Xperia phone over Wi-Fi).

So I'm in the studio with Elus doing the Hammer Dance Freestyle this past Saturday and he tells me Mala Reignz did it too. I heard it and was like she needs to drop it now. Like right now. This is the Mala I love on records that made me want to produce for her. Well, today she released the record via her ReverbNation page and now you all can hear it!
Note: Both of these freestyles were recorded at FMR Studios in the Bronx. Definitely great quality and affordable rates! Holla at Elus to book a session!

All Black Foamposites Coming Back Out? This Picture Says It All...

Via: NiceKicks
Could this be one of the four Foamposites set to drop later this year? Recently, Gentry Humphrey revealed an image of what he referred to as the “Stealth” Nike Air Foamposite One via Twitter (the image also includes a never-before-seen colorway of the Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4). It seems to simply feature a subtle, all-black upper, which is reminiscent of the all-black Foams that released in 2007. Earlier this week, rumors about this shoe stated that it would drop during the holiday season of 2012, but stay tuned to Nice Kicks for official release information. If this shoe were to release, does it take priority over the upcoming metallic silver/crimson pair on your must-have list?

There Will Be No TPVKL 3. Here Is Why.
Follow @kwanlee
Tweet to @kwanlee
Pin It Now!
NOTE: For all you people who are basically confused and will either not read or skim through all of this, I'm not putting out TPVKL3 right now because I do not have the time to release it and promote it in traditional Kwan Lee fashion. I want it done MY WAY, and supported how I support others. But you will be seeing another project soon..... REAL SOON. I'M NOT STOPPING. I'M NOT QUITTING. IF I WANTED TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY AND BE ACCEPTED BY EVERYONE, I WOULD ASK YOU WHAT YOU LIKE, AND WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR. HAVE I DONE THAT? NO. MY WAY IS WORKING.
Ok so if you don't follow me enough, I have a series of mixtapes called The People Vs. Kwan Lee. I was supposed to release three of them. The first 2 moved better than I expected but things were different then. The grind was different. The game was different. I've gotten bigger and better at all that I do, but now I barely have time to make music and promote it right the way I want to because I'm busy keeping my brand as a whole reputable.
There are a lot reasons that the project isn't releasing at this time, but here are some of them. There was a big record that I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, wanted on the project that I can't get done because I doubt the artist I want on it has time to put his verse on the song, and I don't have the time to even do my part. I would still love to do the record, but I doubt it will see the light of day anytime soon. HIGHLY DOUBT IT. And I have a strong and concrete feeling that this will be yet another release I really will see no support on from those closest to me, which HURTS and sucks.
I had planned to release TPVKL3 on June 6th, but I have no time to finish it and promote it right. Its practically done for the most part, but with everything else that's going on now, I really have no time to dedicate towards the final pieces to the puzzle with the project. Why? Mainly because Kwan Lee TV's stock has gone up crazy! Every other day I'm in another place shooting another video to the point where I'm up for 2-3 days straight editing footage. I WORK HARD B!
The one thing I extremely hate with the Kwan Lee TV brand, is when someone tries to sell me a dream knowing that I rap like tape me and I'll let you rap. I'm not one of these straight out the basement off Pro Tools with a J Armz instrumental rappers. I promote my music WITH NO HELP, I produce all my music unless its on an industry beat, I run my own company, and I built a brand people are threatened and intimidated by, BY MYSELF. I'm not one of these point and shoot dudes who has my footage looking garbage online, saying its HD just because I have a big obsolete and outdated camera or a 7D and a Mac still not knowing what to properly do with it. There's only a few clients who have something lucrative to offer me if it isn't money, and I respect them and appreciate them for choosing me to release their content.
Now back to the music. I have dropped things here and there and did the whole email blast, @ you on Twitter and post on your FaceBook wall thing to still not get my submission accepted for websites or radio shows where I know the owners or hosts PERSONALLY. Some people who know what I do blatantly ignore it either because they want to get ahead rapping first, they don't want to see me make it at all because they are scared I won't pick up the phone when they hear about a party I'm at or taping at to get them in for free because they fronted on me, or their boyfriend, shorty, or peoples are "hood stars" in their eyes and they really think they will make it with Instagram pics with big name rappers and DJ's next to them in the club where 25 people out of their crew put in on a bottle just to get in, ignoring the people who actually make better music than them, and work harder and smarter. It hasn't stopped me before and definitely can't stop me now. It takes time to get used to and I have been getting used to more and more over the years and have been quite reserved about it. It just really hurts (yes hurts!) when it is people I know outside of music and actually consider myself cool with, cool enough to chill with outside of this music thing do it. Then there's the "Politics".
"Politics" in a nutshell in regards what I do are those people or companies who are cool with somebody that dosen't necessarily either like you, thinks you are a threat, or both, preventing you from getting on their blog, website, radio show, etc., taking time out of their day to attempt to stop you from getting notified. They are even sending DM's on Twitter and messages on FaceBook to block me! ME! The fat kid from Brooklyn who couldn't get girls and was the 12th man on the bench in ball, and started rapping for fun, still surprised to this day that some people actually dig the music, and started his own media company as a joke to catch himself bugging out in the studio! ME! Trust, I've suffered and still suffer from politics happening to me, but, AM I REALLY SUFFERING? My websites rank higher than most of yours, I get better content, and I get love in other states and countries from people who either have never and most likely will never have any idea who most of you are. I typically ignore politics because I know what it is, but I'm just breaking it down for you guys and letting you know I know what the deal is!
I'm very appreciative of the love and support I do receive however, and wouldn't trade it in for anything in the world. I appreciate the DJ's, radio shows, and websites who do take the time out to post my submissions or put me on mixtapes, or interview me on your show along with posting Kwan Lee TV content. You help build my brand every time you put something up that I have sent or you see online when I release it, and invite me to come to your show. Without you a lot of people wouldn't know who I was and what I do. I may not have great content or great music to your liking all the time which is cool, because no one is perfect. I just appreciate the fact that you take the time to support me in some way, shape, or fashion. Thank you.
Thats all I have to say. Until next time, PEACE.
NOTE: For all you people who are basically confused and didn't read all of this, I'm not putting out TPVKL3 right now because I do not have the time to release it and promote it in traditional Kwan Lee fashion. I want it done MY WAY, and supported how I support others. But you will be seeing another project soon..... REAL SOON. I'M NOT STOPPING. I'M NOT QUITTING.

Confrimed Once Again: BBM IS COMING TO ANDROID PHONES

We’ve all wondered at some point whether our beloved BlackBerry Messenger would one day make its way to other operating systems such as iOS or Android. It looks as if this shift in the smartphone world has begun.
Recently, pictures emerged showing BBM on a screen that is much like the HTC Wildfire, obviously not a BlackBerry device. The BBM for Android version 0.8.8.7 was running SitSLIP debugger 1.3.45. While at the end of last year, similar photos were leaked sporting the same type of thing, yet, those were much more unbelievable. It seemed that the font used on that supposed BBM for Android app was native to BlackBerry, thus unlikely to be legitimate pictures. That’s not the case this time.
It’s still uncertain when the BBM for Android release date will actually occur, but we have been told that it’s only going to be a LITE version at this time. Currently no word has been mentioned regarding the release of BBM for iOS. Should iPhones get BBM, does that mean no more iMessage? Possibly.
If this works out, and Android and iPhone users do end up with BlackBerry Messenger, this just may be the turning point that Research In Motion needed to bring RIM and BlackBerry back to the top of the smartphone market. If this patent release goes well, it could also strike up the interest of many non-BlackBerry users to move to BlackBerry just so they can gain access to all the other goodies that come along with having a BlackBerry.

The BlackBerry House Phone?

So I am online checking to see what's going on with the new technology and stuff, and I stumble across this dock that will make your BlackBerry pretty much a house phone. This image leaked and as you can see its an old BlackBerry so apparently this has been in the works for a while. It would be really dope if I could get the BlackBerry house phone... This is an official release with RIM and I am very if at all picky about third-party accessories for the most part. I don't use third party accesories for phones.
This along with the official BlackBerry keyboard and mouse for the Playbook are some releases I am anticipating! A lot of changes have been going on at RIM, but I am confident that it is for the best and not the worst. I'm not a social phone user anymore so BlackBerry fulfills my needs. #BeBold

The Hardest Part About Music Is.....

As you know if you read this site and keep up with me, I DO A LOT! I'm pretty much a self contained entity. I have no choice. The part that is hardest about that is that I am a threat to a lot of people, and they try to do everything in their power to make sure I don't spread like wildfire. Meanwhile, in the past week alone my content in some way shape or fashion has been on major websites (WorldStar, ThisIs50, Forbez DVD) without me paying a dime! Everything is going great as far as the resume and the work I put in. All I am asking for, for the most part, is that the content get spreaded to websites where I know and have met the owners and bloggers personally!
That's the hardest part about this game. Everyone's either scared to rock with you or want to wait until you blow up to say they knew you and remember the beginning. Remember now! Remember now! Show love now! That's all I ask. I know a lot of radio hosts for online radio stations as well. No love there either. But I get an email to promote you or support you guys and I do it because its the right thing to do. Support your own. Not for the greater gain of myself or favor for a favor. It would be nice if I could get that in return.
UNTIL THEN, IMMA KEEP GRINDIN! YOU HAVE TO SEE ME. YOU WILL SEE ME. WHEN EVERYTHING IS GOING GREATER THOUGH, DONT SAY I DIDNT TELL YOU SO!
