after searching for nice bar stools that would match our dining table… I gave up and most of the decent ones were 8 weeks out for delivery…. and out of totally nowhere, Benji Madden comes through in the clutch and gives his to us! thanks Benj! (AMC) can’t believe they match! haha
so here’s some pics of the new KAWS 4ft companions in my crib! along with some champagne and all types of other shit…. relieved that our dining room is DONE! but now I just need to find 2 really fancy decanters for my bar cart and then we’re golden!

all we need is some new couches which are on the way…. then living room is done!
Interior Illusions in west hollywood is fucking dope! thank god for my wife who picked out most of the furniture…. now I have 4 total KAWS 4 ft companions…. still need a Brown OG and a Grey dissected. holler if you got a lead.

because Farfalla delivers….
I think I’m going to chill at home today and work on the CPU. it’s too hot outside anyways

p.s. may all your pain be SHAMMM PAINNNN!
oh yeah, our backyard is gangster… need to have more bbq’s before the baby comes!

peace

so I hate to cramp in a bunch of shit that happened last week, but damn I don’t have a choice!
last week was a long week and I thought it would never end… the crazy part? I was getting paid everyday and still wanted it to end. smh….. so many new jewels and stories. I’ll try to fit everything I can remember in, but fuck I’m old!

jumped over to vegas first class with wifey to check out my boy Money Mayweather train before the fight and we got in a little late. I didn’t know he was gonna be super late to his press day at his gym. lol had I known, I woulda stopped by earlier…. but instead, we checked into our suite at the Wynn and did a little shopping….

6 months preg and she thinks she looks big!

everyone was talking about Top Shop opening and Nic wanted to go real bad, so I we checked it out right quick…. I coulda copped a lot more stuff, but I’ll wait for the LA top shop to open at the grove….. I got some ill shorts and she bought a few things.
that store Shoe Palace is the biggest waste of space I have ever seen in a store. smh. big as fuck, bright ass lights, no inventory at all.

a few shots from the connecting bridge….
had dinner at one of my favorite spots RED 8, which is as good as Mr. Chows but more casual and that salt and pepper chilean sea bass is a problem!!! man. and I can wear shorts in there, they don’t trip!

I think I couldn’t sleep that night so I woke up at 5am and gambled til 6:30am and that was a waste…. just see-sawed from down $2k to up $300 to finally going back to my room down $80 smh

Nic has never ate at the Wynn buffet before so we did that and she loved it… it’s one of my mom’s favorite places smh… felt so stuffed after I wanted to go back to sleep and forget about the day…..

my boy Nick who owns CRSVR hit me up and scooped me up with his boy Low and we headed over to get a snack a the Bellagio cafe (which happens to be another one of my favorite spots, RIP DJ AM) so we chit chat about everything from bullshit to bullshit and then they take me over to Fruition to check out some different swag and then I lose my shit…. they have a 10000% Fendi Bearbrick in their store display!

polo by Moncler, skinny shorts by Marc Jacobs, hating by you

so we left there and headed over to see the champ do his thing….


Mayweather boxing club is in chinatown where the good Pho is! don’t tell me he’s racist lol…. I was hyped to see my money team fam! greeted at the door by big kip and 50 cent…. walked inside and seen everyone. but Roger Mayweather was serious as fuck, no smiles, just work…. saw the champ and gave him a pound and he was ready for war, but still smiling and in a good mood

no cameras or cell phones allowed inside the gym….
so that’s the only pic I got…

he sparred a while with another champ in his weight division… dude was nice too, he was going hard at champ and champ was going around 50% at most and after a few long rounds, dude’s face was getting busted up real bad. so bad that on a few jabs blood splattered all over champs cameraman Pistol Pete! I was like damn!!! it was only about 110 degrees inside the gym. smh. so hot I forgot that’s how it used to be when I wrestled in high school and college. mannn! then after champ was finished busting dude up (btw, dude floyd was sparring with got a belt and is 10-0!) he hit the bag and other things… so I chopped it up with some cats and watched a couple games and then me and Nick left back to the hotel.

Nic went shopping with her friend of course, then we went over to one of her all time favorite spots Serendipity 3!

this is our 3rd time at the vegas location and we both agreed, the new york OG spot is just way better…. but damn it’s still real good!

after that, it was movie time and I forgot what the hell we watched… but woke up again at like 4am this time and went downstairs to gamble, but I wasn’t feeling it and I watched some cats play casino War; yes War like the actual card game War smh…. I said this shit must stop and went back to bed at around 6am

woke up at like 10am and did what bosses do….

order boss ass room service! lol

we had a hell of a 59th floor view of the strip….

so high up we were lookin down at everything else

I went down to check out the shops in the Wynn, wanted to cop a few thing at Hermes, but they’re always sold out of shit…. makes me wonder because it’s not a secret that our economy is terrible, yet the most expensive store sells out of shit so fast and all the time????
I get a lot of inspiration from Graff and they’re jewels are flat out the best. fuck Harry Winston or De Beers or even Van Clef…. Tiffany is like hood shit compared to Graff and our work is better than Tiffany already so you know….
checked out the Wynn Rolex store and if you didn’t know that is the flag ship Rolex store for the earth. It is the best Rolex dealer on the planet no joke. they have every single possible Rolex always in stock. every color dial or gold you want with all the rare limited edition options, etc, they got it! but they do not negotiate at all. not even 1% you pay full pop and tax… they wouldn’t even give Champ a deal so he walked out on a 3 watch deal. but I checked out some watches and I just copped the Rose gold and Yellow gold day date II presidents, so I don’t know what else I want. hmmmm… I’m thinking a yellow gold Daytona is my next move.

so my boy Q came into town and I was going to check out and head back home because I have a gang of work to do and my new intern is already overwhelmed…. but Q forced us to stay another night and my first class flight back home wasn’t changeable due to wack ass expedia, so Q booked us a whole new set of tickets back home and put us up in a penthouse suite at the Mandalay Bay. #swag

I love separate elevator entrances… leaves the squares behind

our room was nice, but I didn’t care to take any pics. we had the highway 15 view so who cares lol
got some lunch downstairs and then I took a nap. I was so damn tired from all the walking!

walked over to the four seasons to meet up with Q and my worldstar fam and we then got driven to the MGM to peep out David Copperfield… for those who don’t know. the four seasons is actually inside the mandalay bay hotel and occupies 4 floors of the mandalay but has a totally separate check in. my boy Q had a 3000 square foot suite that was stupid with the views!

everyone loved the show and this is my 3rd time seeing him and none of the tricks were the same so I was impressed.

we then headed outside and jumped into the super lavish Worldstar tour bus. this shit was all leather seat, suede headliner-ed out! had the ill bar, a bathroom(mandatory) and a stripper pole in the back with a vip room!

headed back over to the mandalay, but this time “the Hotel” side to hit up a classic not new but still HOT joint. “Mix” now this restaurant and club is dope. I don’t fuck with the club side and never had, but their restaurant is fly as fuck. best view in vegas and their food is all the way official!

the view from the bar side.

you mighta seen this interior in a commercial… their whole swag is crisp

that’s how high up shit is…. 63 floors up!
I haven’t been to Mix in about 5 years or longer, but I should go more often now. there’s just too many good places to eat in Vegas. but I like the vibe here.

so we went back to our rooms, it was about midnight at this point and we needed to change up and head out over to Tryst….

me and Nic were just not feeling it at all… the best part of the club was driving to the club in the tour bus. real shit…. we got there, ordered 3 bottles off top. you already know….

but the crowd was wack, the DJ was trash…. I just couldn’t hang longer than an hour. so got back into the tour bus and headed back to the room….

my body was sore like I was training for a fight smh…
slept in like a motherfucker

woke up and had a late check out, but ordered some room service first….
then walked over to the four seasons and got a massage at the spa, then headed over to Q’s room for a meeting before our flight out…

I’m hyped about a few future business deals going on and I know we got a dope future with me and Q….

headed over to McCarran airport and jumped on our flight back to LA

if that ain’t a first class view, I don’t know what is….

got back into LA and headed over to the Americana to check out the five year engagement and even though I’m just not a fan of Judd Apatow these days at all, this was a pretty damn good RomCom. check it out if you’re older and in a relationship.

Saturday was all work. god damn….
so here we go with some work!!!!

with Dwyane Wade and Miami as the top seed in the NBA playoffs… I was already commissioned to make 2 pieces for my boy…. here’s the first one.



now last time, if you remember, I only made the Initial diamond tags with Z and z which were for Zion and Zaire(his 2 sons) and then the D for dada his nephew….

I’m still making him another chain now. so it might take a couple weeks as we just finished the basic artwork

next up, we made those diamond Ultra Frames with Vintage Frames…. so this time we made an all rose gold, yes real rose gold set of frames…. no words, just peep






of course everything we do has the “IF” tattooed on it! these are sweet tho!

next up, my boy Q had me make him another CEO size WS worldstar logo charm but this time in yellow gold and this time we iced out the sides of this beast! (we also iced out the sides of his current white gold one, but I gave that to him in vegas and didn’t take pics because I’m a fucker)






and we put it on a heavy thick/solid franco chain!
much love to my boy Q and much love to Worldstar Hip Hop!
we got a lot more work coming soon!

last jewelry piece is something I love to death!
took like over a month to make due to my diamond setters being so damn busy with our current workload and the style is a little different the way we pave’d the stones on top and we mixed a matte gold with a high polished gold. this is so clean!










we’ve made damn near every variation of a gold and diamond buddha piece, but this buddha head is fabulous! lol… shit is really clean. I wanted to ice out the bail, but I don’t wanna take away from the top of the head… I think this will be sold real fast!

and DAMN!
that was 2 hours to write up this whole blog and upload all the pics! maybe longer!!!

got a crazy day ahead… gotta link with Sean Kingston and T.I for their video and then the lakers game and a few other meetings and then my boy Kenny Hamilton’s bday party tonight!

god bless everyone
thanks for checking out my blog!
this should hold you over for a little bit!

excited for the fight!!!
TEAM MONEY MAYWEATHER AKA PRETTY BOY FLOYD AKA CEO OF THE MONEY TEAM!

peace!

so I got a very decent sized hotel suite with several rooms and we had literally 6 balconies with mad sweeping panoramic views of the westside and multiple bathrooms(very important at a party lol). the room was a little bigger than our home, so it was fine…. the accommodations were proper and the price wasn’t so bad. the 24 hour room service and spa though were on point. I said to myself if I was going to be out of town, then it was going to be someplace tropical and secluded with a handful of extremely close peeps or just me and Nic……

so we checked in, chilled, watched a movie then headed over to the store to grab chips, dip, drinks, mixers… candy, snacks and all types of shit. literally spent $150 at CVS, then a few hundred more on other stuff….. ordered a bunch of pies and wings from BJ’s and that was super on point…. the Oregon Ducks football team btw were staying at our hotel, so I knew it would be quiet the night before the game, no idiot who wants to win is gonna fuck up their night by raging…. so we were swell!

while at CVS, Bieber sent me a text message with a pic of him rocking the Jesus piece and g-shock…. so I sent him this

I didn’t ask anyone to really bring anything except extra booze and if they wanted to, to bring some food or snacks…. we had cakes, pies, sammiches, pizza, wings, chips, M&Ms, mad drinks and about 6 bottles of different flavored vodkas and tequila and of course some champagne for the countdown…. we had so much food, I was mad that we didn’t get to eat it all. I shoulda gave some to the valet while it was still hot…. even after smoke sessions, the munchies weren’t so serious with the folks….

we even had a Wii and a magic mic, but didn’t use either… we just had convo’s and good company and caught up with folks… last time we all got together with this particular group was halloween

so early on…..

little Jesse got to rock the first baby kufi jesus piece before it was time for him to sleep! and me and Nic are dressed ready to drink red champagne…..

the girls are happy… Nic obsessed with her iphone (i’m worse)

time sorta flew by…. and we started at like 7pm!

lovely ladies loungin….

like I said, we had a beautiful view…. in the morning I saw all the way to the ocean…. we had again, stupid amount of balcony space for everyone to chill at and it wasn’t even cold outside

we went downstairs to take some pics in front of the huge xmas tree in the lobby before the countdown….

of all the people, of course we asked an asian girl to take our pic who was sitting at the bar…. a foreigner! and she still fucked up the pic with a swag camera. smh…. but that is the group shot!

my cousin Jeff swang through real quick to countdown with me and I got to chill with my boys Hollywood and Cho who I’ve known for over a decade and know by completely total random coincidence through one of Nic’s BFF’s….

back up….

it was about that time

we had to have Perrier Jouet Rose’ Fleur! and more expensive shit… this wasn’t all the champagne…. and if it was that serious, I had 40 bottles at the crib and the tilt was only 5 min away

after midnight, we all hugged and kissed and toasted

multiple bottles gone fast…. and Bella got it poppin with the robot dance

we all said peace after around 1:30ish and thank god our friends are smart and had designated drivers….. I wanted to keep eating, but I was on a good buzz and couldn’t even stay up long enough to watch a movie… I really wanted to watch “Drive” but nobody else did…. so I said fuck it and took some benedryl and that’s when shit got interesting….. I think I fell asleep halfway into a conversation with Nic’s best friend and then she said I was talking about business in my sleep and wouldn’t let go of the remote… so she got up and tried to take it from me, but I slapped her hand lol…. (we had 2 beds btw, wasn’t that kind of party… she’s my wifes best friend and maid of honor and that’s my homey too) I shouldn’t have taken the benedryl or really I shouldn’t have taken that with all the champagne and then the trees and what not… but Nic woke me up at 7am and I asked her if she was out of her mind. but she said she missed me, so I got up. lol…. but right back to bed after….

when I finally woke up, I saw this

besides wondering why there were any M&M’s or Gummi Savers left…. I want to know why there was pepper in the tray? BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHEN DID I ORDER ROOM SERVICE AND WHY 2 FORKS? why 2 forks doe? lol

we checked out because it was a spectacular day outside…. 78 degrees and we headed to the beach with Nic’s fam for brunch….. then later had dinner with my family at Nate & Al’s and then watched a movie and chilled….
the next day guess what? CHILLED! I haven’t had a couple days off in a while and my favorite thing to do is absolutely nothing…. no creativity, no drama, no questions, no emails, just kick it!

we later went to see the remake of “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” because people were raving about it being better than the original…. so I’ll say this, I thought this version “looked” beautiful and better because Fincher is an amazing director, but that shit overall was whatevs… I liked the OG version better. the brutal scenes were much harsher in the euro version and I felt they dumbed down the vulgar scenes, which I believe took away from the realness of the film. but otherwise, WHATEVER!

that’s all….
OH WAIT!
we made some 14k Scapulars with a diamond border for a dude in the bay and they came out really clean!


these things were super heavy and solid! really clean….

now that’s really it!
2012, back on the grind, shooting my show this month, I was at agenda trade show today and damn I’m so exhausted from just walking and talking…. so damn proud of my boy Aaron who really has THEE biggest streetwear/fashion/skate wear trade show period…. magic is done and ASR past away… I won’t be there tomorrow because I got work and more work…..
This year is going to be better than the last and we just have to make it better and better. better living, better everything.

got off the plane and my driver was there to get me, headed downtown and did some shopping and checked out a few spots around the city… one spot I liked was this spot called Jugrnaut…. stopped at Harold’s chicken of course… then finally checked into the hotel rooms and got right til the party

I’m so damn obsessed with Instagram right now! mann haha, check me out on there if you’re an iphone user

man property and rent is a lot cheaper in the Chi than it is in LA in general… makes me want to have a crib in las vegas, chitown and LA!

shout out to Jugrnaut Store for the False YSL sweatshirt… and the Jugrnaut new era fitted

speaking of swag….



LV right off the runway swag for my main man, the bday boy

get right….

and speaking of get right… the Sax Hotel is no joke, killed all the other hotels I’ve stayed in when staying in the 312…. although the Trump is maybe the illest, but this is one of the flyest

so we had the fridge loaded up with limited edition bottles of Dom P, PJ rose’, grey goose, tequila and beer…. so we got to drinking and smokin early… watched a few games and we were supposed to head out to this asian fusion restaurant, but couldn’t get it together, so room service was what happened…. the venue for the private bday affair was basically connected to the hotel. the Sax shared the same entrance/lot as the marina city towers and the house of blues….. the party was at the Foundation Room in the HOB….

so we walked over there deep and some drunk ass loser chick tried to start a fight with me… she was deep in her loser shit…. anyways we walk over to the VIP entrance and take the elevator to my boy’s shin dig

he invited 200 of his closest friends, so the party was closed to the public period… the bar was open the entire night and it was premium liquor from the get go….. he had 2 cases of PJ rose’ pre-ordered, so you know that pink champagne was flowing all night!

limited edition royal oak swag….
but who said you needed to have a good watch to have a good time?

we did bitches!!!! lol

yup, Sean Mac aka the MACnificent aka Chi-Town’s finest….. aka one of the hardest working DJ’s I know(he just dropped a new mixtape! I heard it’s fire… go google my guy and download that mixtape!) was rockin the tunes upstairs…
while DJ TimBuk2 was downstairs

yup, my boy had the LV cake with the PJ side cake lol….

this is my all time favorite champagne period point blank…. not a bad gift to give

everyone was having a cool time, I didn’t know too many peeps in there, maybe 15 or so at most, but I knew the DJ’s and I knew the man of the night and some of his friends, so I was just chatting it up with Nic for most of the night until….

DIPSET Jim Jones entered the building…..
now here’s the cold thing about that
nobody knew he was coming or a special guest who was going to perform for the night, but what most of everyone knew was that TMZ had reported that Jimmy got arrested earlier that morning in NYC for driving on a suspended license…. my boys weren’t stressing too tough, but it would suck since it was part of a plan…..so the homey John Monopoly got on the horn to make sure Jim got straight out of jail to La Guardia airport and direct to Midway and directly to the hotel then to the venue! I can’t believe my dude was in Jail for literally almost 12 hours and made it still to chicago to rock the party…….

and that’s exactly what Jim Jones did! btw, my homey Alex Thomas aka Tah Tah was the guest MC of the night too… fyi, me and Alex have been friends since were were 15 and 17, so that’s 23 years we been knowing each other…. and we always run into each other at the most random times, crazy to see each other come up

yo, Jimmy had maddd hitts! crazy catalog and this was for only around 80 heads at this point of the night…
when he performed “summer in miami” I lost it and got on stage! he went from OG DIPSET to salute to ballin’!!!!!! it was a good ass time and I have seen Jim Jones perform a few times, but I never seen dude this happy…. as soon as he got on stage, he got handed a cold bottle of PJ Rose’ and a few blunts with OG Kush in them…. he was good…. I told him, I’m coming to the dipset reunion on the 15th to fuck with them heavy!

then my boy lost his mind and got to the point of fadedness that we all reach on our birthday lol. he started goin HAM lol…. that was my cue to exit and head back to the room and turn on a movie

good night! haha

woke up the next morning and this was the answer….
Voss Water and TV…. chillin… I had to Instagram it

me and my boy and his homey’s had a good chat it up session… they broke down stories from real estate to Cook County Jail and then we got some food and chopped it up some more about local chitown legends and other shit until I had to get on a plane back to LA….

traffic was bad on the way to O’Hare, but nothing like LA traffic….

I business classed my ass all the way home and
right off the plane at LAX direct to the Valet and then direct to the Wing Stop in Ladera Heights to see my Lakeshow do their thing!
Lemon Pepper with Kola Champagne? are you kidding me? I was happy!
and then motherfuckers started to fight at Staples center? lol
shout out to Buffalo Joes in Chicago…. gotta try the suicide sauce!

P.S. SHOUT OUT TO GEORGE LOPEZ lol

so Friday, I went to the store to handle some biz….. and take some pics of a few things….


custom made 1 of 1 Icee Fresh yellow gold link chain…. made for who? for anyone who wants to buy it… it’s chilling at the store now.

I had to put in a few orders and start on some molds and check on money may’s nephews pieces and a few other things…. then we took in a trade…
do you remember when this was the flyest thing out?


a fully iced out Jacob and Co. world is mine watch?
shit this thing used to sell for around $35,000 to $50,000 easy back in the day….
you can cop this watch from us for WAAAAAAY less than that! holla

later on, me and Nic decided to do some shopping at the Century City mall and get a quick bite and then check out Insidious which I thought looked scary as shit…. the movie def shook up some cats in the theater lol EARLY! I mean some gay dudes in front of us jumped out of their seats…. it was entertaining… I give it a B-

drove home in our hybrid swag and then it was Nicolettes Birthday…..

Saturday, woke up and Nic wanted to drive all the way to Arcadia to check out the Food Truck Festival and I was totally down… we went with Nic’s brother and his girlfriend….
we got there around 12 noon and it was packed, not crazy packed since the place was huge… it was held at the Santa Anita Race Track and on a race track day, so you had families chillin enjoying a nice day and then you had degenerate gambler scumbags not having it! lol…. man, fyi, when I was in high school, I was kicked out for having a severe gambling problem…. I used to stay at Hollywood Race Track and Santa Anita park too, so it brought back some memories for me and it had been around 20 years since I’ve been back to Santa Anita….

now this is the problem….. the idea of the Food Truck Festival was awesome, but too fucking many people showed up… by the time we got food from 1 truck, there was a line of 100 to 200 people waiting for the popular trucks. thats like 2 + hours of waiting!!!!!! fuck that… the grilled cheese truck had a 2 hour wait, I mean it really sucked and the lines took forever….. there was 80 trucks of damn near every kind of food you could want, but it was just too crowded and not enough seating





the last 2 pics are of the Grilled Cheese Truck line smh

I got a damn good pork Banh Mi’ from the Nom Nom truck and then got some great cheese fries with nacho and shredded cheese with jalapenos on the side…. got the beef steak quesadilla from White Rabbit… shout out to BRISK and their sponsored trucks (white rabbit)
I wanted to say what up to Chef Ludo and a few other people who I know that owned trucks, but they weren’t there…. the horse racing was cool and I felt so weird being at another event while that was going on that, I didn’t even get to pick up a Race Digest and get to handicapping some ponies….

anyways, it got even more crowded and I got irritated so we left back home….
it was cool to drive the prius on the freeway finally…. it’s mandatory that you use the power button for the freeway and its not a bad drive at all…. we’ve had the car for over a week now and 200 miles have been put on and there is still more than 1/2 a tank left.

took a quick nap at the trap and then got ready for a nice dinner at the Polo Lounge…. for Nic’s bday

sprite and don julio silver for me…. pinot grigio for her

polo lounge is the shit for lunch…. but it gets really powerful for a weekend dinner; they get all fancified lol

the veal with the mozzarella gnochi was off the chains, nic got the scallops, but no pics of that because I felt bad for taking pics of the food…. her mushroom rissotto was soo good too.

I wasn’t mad at the night at all…. it was very relaxed on some grown up shit…
btw, if you aren’t looking to spend a lot of money on dinner and things, then the Polo Lounge is definitely not the place you want to take a date or your girl…. a bottle water of Fiji is $15 lol. but you’re paying for the atmosphere

Sunday?

started out wrong….. Lakers lost a bullshit ass game and that ruined my day pretty much
I gotta get it in here today at the store and then head back home to cut my wig and shave and head out to Seattle for a few days, then back in LV with Money Mayweather….

stay tuned.
stay blessed

PEACE

then let’s just start by my Friday morning by driving to the ritz carlton and being asked mad questions because I didn’t have the time to dress like a “jeweler”? gtfoh! took care of my VIP clients and after when I looked at Nokia Live…. it looked like east st louis…. east new york and south central to the worst parts of the south all mixed into one… I mean, I don’t even know what to say…. there were cats handing out mixtapes… in electric royal blue raw denim suits and sunglasses.. SUNGLASSES! IT WAS RAINING YOU COCKSUCKERS! smh….

so then I shook out to K-Town to meet up with the homey D-Crooks….. we sat down and had a boss meal to talk over some biz and talk about the people who already got jacked the night before at NICE CLUBS! not hood ones!
we ordered up the official galbi and roast gui and ChoSan has 1 of the best selections of prime meat…. but their ban chan is the best for sure….
so on the way back to the westside, we convoy’d over to Mr Brainwash’s Studio because I heard he just did a SICK PIECE! (everyone on the internet says it was banksy because MBW has the style or creativity of a nail)….
and yes indeed, I won’t lie, that shit was sick!

THE RED CARPET ON THE SIDEWALK THAT LEADS UP TO THE BANKSY “AS” THE OSCAR? GANGSTER!

there were 4 cameras all over MBW’s studio if you can’t see…. but he had the stormtroopers holding down the fort…. btw, if you didn’t know why banksy’s been in town and why this Oscar piece is up…. it’s because Banksy is up for an Academy Award for best documentary for “Exit Through The Gift Shop”

2 korean fux…. and you know we thought about how we could steal this piece lol!

well speaking of D Crooks… he’s always got 100 hustles as most of my korean homies do…. check out this chakra necklace he made…. shit is very fly!

and yes I compliment other peoples jewels…. if you guys ever remember seeing those HUGE Crooks N Castles Logo pieces? yep… those were his

so I had to shake to meet up some more clients…. it was nice to get to these nice beverly hills hotels and see every single D Boy or major hustler and a lotta rappers staying there. shit is funny to me…. I love the reverse role playing in a way though…. I mean, a lotta these places used to treat me like shit and you’d never see people of color in these 5 star hotels…. then all of a sudden, they’re all there, bossing around the hotel staff lol.
met up with my boy John Monopoly as he wanted to cop some nice ROCKS for his ears… something VS1 and E color…. yes, a car basically on the ears….

then I met up with the boss of Chicago my man who holds down the 312 way harder than Ye does. no joke…. btw before I forget to mention because this is friday and I’m going to sunday… but Yeezy? wtf is up with your Dr. Dre from the world class wrecking crew outfit you had on? I’m not mad at the 3 Jesus pieces but damn! haha

went up to meet up with all my new chitown fam and they were holding it down in a 7 million dollar mansion for the weekend…. the rate of it was like the same price of getting 85 rooms at the Mondrian hotel lol…. #RealBallers
BUT anyways…. he already got his neck on frosty chill status…. but his wrists now are really saying “you should quit”






now, these both weigh over 100 grams each! solid ass gold bead bracelets! all prong set, 5 rows of prong set diamonds and just silly! VS diamonds on the white and grade A black diamonds…. stop playing….

finally got home after running around the entire day and was exhausted!
turned on the TV to see my lil homey Rob Kardashian trying to ball in the celeb game…. but at least he was rocking APL’S! haha
speaking of APL’s

Adam and Ryan were on the news again! APL was big this weekend for the NBA all star game! good shit!

didn’t feel like going anywhere too crowded and I was NOT ENTERING HOLLYWOOD OR DOWNTOWN OR EAST OF LA CIENEGA REALLY! soooo we walked into houstons…. 40 min wait…. gulfstream… 30 min wait… PINK TACO 45 MIN WAIT! PINK SHITTY TACO? smh…. we walked into this spot called ToscaNova and honestly? the food gets a C- rating….

I was gonna head to go see my fam fam Wale and JCole at the house of blues, but I hit Wale too late… then he hit me back and asked how many tickets I needed…. 1. I felt bad and I knew he’s come through…. 2. Nic hates rap music lol… so I said fuck it
Later on I drove passed Drais and was about to walk in…. until I seen some hoodrats fight outside by the entrance and said, what the fuck is going on? my good homey inside said it was nothing special to a regular night in there… and for the guys, there weren’t really any bad ones for y’all…. just a lotta basic chicks in their best bebe dresses trying to catch… wednesday nights I heard go off harder than that kobe kanye party did.

As I got immediately off Hollywood Blvd, I seen the streets looked waaaay worse than Slauson and Crenshaw Blvd. smh….

later that night, I heard there were a few stabbings and A LOT OF FIGHTS! I heard from my boy who’s a papparazzi was listening to his police scanner all night and he said it was non stop….. meanwhile as I was driving home, I have never seen that many police ever! I saw close to 400 police cars driving home…. smh

on the westside towards Beverly Hills… all I heard all night long were fucking police and ambulance sirens until the break of dawn! smh
I had my new Methuselah (6L) of Perrier Jouet…. so fuck it, I was good

look at the size comparison of the regular bottle of Cristal to the beast 6 Liter of PJ…. even had to add the cherry Dr. Pepper to give you an idea of how much an asshole you have to be to cop a methuselah

good night!

SATURDAY

I get call early from my homey Homicide who tells me he’s gonna have breakfast with Premier and Russell Peters and Jazzy Jeff over at Roscoes….. he said it was a 3 hour wait and he never seen shit like that in his life and Craig grew up in the hood lol…. man it was sooo bad!
while Homicide was talking shit…. I was scoping a new Kaws dissected to cop!


I had to get it in at my store and take care of a few more things….
dropped off some freshly made new fully iced out Dog Tags to D Wade




as you can see, these are the FULL size dog tags…. i.e. Apolo’s dog tags are the medium sized ones…. Nic’s dog tags are medium sized too…. but D Wade is like 6′ 4″? and btw he writes me a check for the balance like it’s a me writing a check for $500 smh

so then I head over to that fresh ass house in the hills again to make a drop off and before I leave, I had to take a pic of just the views….. I mean the inside and movie theater and everything was already super PIFF…. so sick, but waking up to these views are just silly….



the view from outside….



the bedroom view….. shits on reggie bush’s view and Reggie lives right below lol….

and you know my boy knows his champagne…. because real sparkling wine snobs don’t drink cristal or ace…. a lot prefer Veuve over those…. but the real ones choose Perrier Jouet

he got this from his homey….. I asked why? he said because he knew I was lightweight stressed out. ha! who can be mad at that? NOBODY!

so after that…. I got a basic ass lunch and met up with 1 last client…. showed him like 20 different items and almost forced this fool to buy something! I said man you ain’t even in the all star game! might as well look the part! cmon! haha…. got em!

went back to the trap and talked shit on the phone with some homeys…. some from LV, some from OC (wtf?lol)
Nic went to go grab her best friend Bella from LAX who was flying in from NYC…..

I gave up my Dunk Contest tickets (the only ones I had all weekend) because there was literally 2 hour traffic delays near me and all the way downtown…. IN MY LIFE I HAVE NEVER SEEN TRAFFIC THAT BAD EVER! EVER! NEVER! so it stressed me out something awful…. that’s why I stayed my ass home or on the westside….

while I watched the Dunk Contest…. now I liked the dunk that had 2 balls into 2 rims… that took talent…. but anyone can say what they want to…. dunking over a fucking KIA is some shit…. shut the fuck up period! NOT ONLY WAS IT DOPE AND THE CAR WAS SUPER FRESH…. THE HOMEY BD THREW THE BALL OUT OF THE FUCKING SUNROOF! CMON MANE! Blake is a beast and once he finesses his game, he will be a lot of trouble for everyone….

watching my homey’s Far East Movement perform on stage was some shit…. I get choked up seeing them take it to next levels! I mean, yeah I was there with Drake before the real fame and helped out on SO FAR GONE and he’s a major super star now…. but it’s different… the milestone that FM has come and passed is a bigger one than even Drizzy’s to me at least…. FM hit me up because they were like you gotta come to our rooftop party at least…. we’re performing, Wiz is performing and Snoop is too… it’ll be off the hook!

I said, naw I’m straight…. there was no way I was gonna step into that bullshit…. homicide was djing downtown at Nokia Live at the Conga Room and he said the inside was okay, but once he stepped outside it was fucking the worst he’d seen and he said there was a soul train line at the valet…. people selling tshirts and shit… NO THANKS….

I took Bella and Nic to go to Robata Jinya and then see UNKNOWN …. we GOT IT FUCKING IN AT ROBATA JINYA! man the food was soooo goood! I was pissed they sold out of the premium ramen that they only serve 20 bowls a day…. but I still killed all the yakitori and other shit! we smoked some extra good OG before we ate… and then me and Bella killed some more before we hit the theaters….

now for the movie? I give the movie a B-…. it wasn’t as good as Taken, but it was good… just a plot twist kinda ruined it for me…. I won’t spoil it….
when we got back to my house…. sirens again, I heard there was just a shitload of fights, streets packed with hooligans and sunset and hollywood blvd were a mess…. cats driving around with outta state plates and doors open up like lambo doors on a 300c? really? IN THE RAIN YOU SIMPLE BASTARDS!!!???? SMH

good night!

SUNDAY

I slept in…. and I mean slept in and it felt good…. got on twitter and seen all the fuckery and thanked god I didn’t get out and I didn’t hear one good thing about the clubs…. none of my club goer friends were saying that it was “that” shit! and some people I knew were just doing three much with the extras…. I heard some spots weren’t packed… not that many bottles being popped… not many drinks in hands period…. and I head average tickets to get in to these all star parties were from $150 to $500 a person! wow haha…. I can’t hate on my promoter friends who gotta protect their biz and say shit was poppin, but I don’t know….

what I do know is that I headed to Beverly Hills to get brunch at the Farm….
we had to wait a little bit, but later on…. the wait got to be over an hour…. everything there is organic and good! so we got in a healthy breakfast…. talked shit and then decided to walk over to Rodeo Drive… I wanted to get my mom a gift as it was her bday…. as I turn the corner on Brighton way to Rodeo I couldn’t believe my eyes…. Rodeo Drive was looking like Rodeo Road (anyone from LA knows where Rodeo is… pronounced like the show with horses and bulls) and I didn’t even think to walk into Gucci or LV as I knew that shit was just gonna be super hood!… seen Nelly with his boys in front of Bang & Olfsen and they looked lightweight shook! I mean, it was just packs of 5 to 8 cats at a time… all dressed real fucking sloppy and the girls? oh my godds…. the fashion statements they were trying to make just hurt my corneas for real for real!
the workers inside Chanel seemed so uneasy and uncomfortable…. I mean damn…..

so I hit Teuscher and Chanel and got the fuck outta there!

they didn’t like it there either…. but I live only 3 min away…..

got home and tried to rest….
it was my mom and brother in law’s bday dinner at Fogo De Chao and my family has dinner at 5pm (who the fuck eats at 5pm? and this has been going on for around 20 years now, not when I was living at home, but still WHY 5PM!) well I wasn’t complaining because I would then get to go home and watch the game before I got into some crazy shit!

I may have looked happy…. but my stomach was soooo food coma’d it was disgusting!

so I got home, watched the rest of the game and seen Kobe shit on everyone and get another All Star MVP….
shaved, showed and got fresh for the evening….

I was lightweight nervous because I only hired 1 security guard…. but then I found out the homey’s had 5 more hired…. so I said fuck it…. all in all, I only heard of 10 people getting jacked, but I’m sure there was a shit load more

I dropped off the girls at a bar to meet their friends and I get to Hollywood dreading and also hoping everyone left…. but nope, every club seemed to be crowded… well the 3 main ones I passed….
I get into the Kress parking lot and the guy says $40 to keep your key and VIP it or $100 in front of Kress entrance what’s it gonna be? I said give me the closest in between the $40 and the $100 to the gate of Kress and we got a deal… lol

walk up to the front and mind you this is early! like 10:30pm….
there’s maybe 75 people in front…. I’m not worried though, I’m hoping all my boys have a successful night….
I see John Monopoly who was part of putting it together and he walks me right in passed any bullshit…. my security is chillin…..
before I could walk up to the entrance…. they hit me to do the red carpet…. I feel weird when I do it because I’m not famous, I’m popular…. so I don’t know…. I do a few small interviews and I shake up to the roof…. there’s like 50 people on the roof maybe….. another 60 in the main room level 3 and I’m like okay…. shit this better get good for the homies….

I finally find my homies and we’re all downstairs in the basement finishing a bottle of goose…. just warming up really….
we get upstairs to the level 3 and the homey Sean Mac is djing and doing his MACnificent mile thang…. so we got our table right directly next to the stage….
as soon as we sit down…. order another bottle of goose and 2 bottles of Perrier Jouet Rose’ (they don’t have any veuve or Nectar Imperial Rose’) so my boy’s go the fuck in…. they order 5 more bottles of PJ Rose…. now I don’t know about y’all… but PJ Rose is $1,000 a bottle….
we got 1 magnum of goose… 2 bottles of regular goose… 1 bottle of Gran Patron(magnum) and 11 bottles of PJ Rose’! YES, CHAMPAGNE HOOLIGANS DOES NOT FUCK AROUND AT ALL!

by around midnight this place is fucking packed! shit is going the fuck off on all floors… they weren’t even letting people into level 3 anymore and the roof was sold out too! Skee was doing his thing upstairs on the roof while DJ DRAMA took over on level 3…..

tables were sold out, so they had to fill the basement up level even….
I seen the homey Clay (CEO of Grand Hustle) so we chopped it up for a min…. seen my man DJ 45 (fabs dj) so I knew Loso was almost in the building….. then I look outside the window and there was a line of a few hundred people trying to get in! and this was at 1am!….

once I seen the homey Fab pull up in the sprinter van… it was on, I knew it was on….
and when Fab got on the stage, my phone was dead which was my only camera smh…. and my brain was dead too…. but Fabolous and Red Cafe killed it! for the money honestly? if you want a good show… Fab is the best bang for your buck! he puts on a good show, he shows up and doesn’t have a fucked up diva attitude and he does a FULL SHOW! and he got HITS!!!!!

I don’t know what time that shit went til becuz I left at 3am….
here’s some pics…

whatever cash you see there…. its all gone now

THE ONLY DEUCES I EVER WANNA SEE!

again Fabolous and Red Cafe killed shit!

I don’t know what else to say except that 1 OFF ENTERTAINMENT HELD IT DOWN! them and John Monopoly and 3 Deep John know how to throw a fucking party!
YOU KNOW WHAT THE BEST PART WAS? THERE WASN’T A SINGLE FIGHT OR ANY DRAMA!!!!!

P.S. AMC BLOG WILL COME OUT AS SOON AS I GET A DIFF. CDN OR MAYBE AMAZON TO HOST THESE PICS/THUMBNAILS!

BLESSINGS!
PEACE!
