SXSW 2013: Part 1.

I went to SXSW last week and had one hell of an unforgettable experience. Aside from a little drama and a RIDICULOUS amount of long lines, good times were had. We were there Wednesday until Sunday. I honestly was anti technology for the first night, so I missed that outfit, but this post covers our Wednesday travels and Thursday.

Wednesday was alright because there really wasn't much going on, but we fell into some fun spots on the street. I think my favorite place was this silent disco that I had been wanting to try for a while. They had 3 stations: rap, Diplo, and a kind've pop/techno. Hella fun. If you get the chance to go to a silent disco, go. It's pretty hilarious.

Thursday we hit up this New York hip hop showcase at North Door. I'm happy we went because somebody jumped on my face, which was highly enjoyable. I don't know WHY I am ALWAYS involved in a mosh pit (which also happened all over me) or somebody stage diving. It's not a party unless my face gets smashed. Last year at the TDE show, I was single handedly holding somebody in the air that jumped off the stage. My life, I swear. But anyway, we saw Joey Bada$$(!!) and Pro Era, Mr. Motherfuckin Esquire, Flatbush Zombies, Action Bronson, Smoke DZA, and A$AP Ferg. Peter Rosenberg was our hilarious host and it was a great time for hip hop. I just wanted to see Joey Bad with his deep voice having self.

Oh and earlier that day we met Wild Belle on the streets. LOVE THEM!

Joey Bada$$ is the New Creative Director for ECKO Clothing.

18 year old rap phenom Joey Bada$$ is the new creative director of ECKO Clothing aka my life just officially became chopped liver. I just have on question....The Fugg? Um when did doing nothing in fashion qualify you to become a creative director of a fashion brand? I'm better off trying to become a reality star, and subsequently being offered my own fashion line after I drop my first studio album.

I am not throwing any shade Joey's way, I like the dude and this collaboration, it's just this type of thing keeps happening. Entertainers keep getting offered things just based off the publicity they could generate for whatever company they're working with. Rihanna with River Island for example...or how about the biggest question mark in life: Alicia Keys becoming Global Creative Director of Blackberry. Wayment? She just say Blackberry? Yea she really just did. No correlation whatsoever, but nevertheless, yet another job given for no reason.
