Samsung Vs Apple???

I've bin saying for a while that there is a new scene of tech teams with their eyes on Apple's top spot in today's world who knows where techs are gonna take us next and what brand is gonna be the next iconic company to push things even further forward??? The new Galaxy SII ad takes the piss out of iPhone users, its quite funny marketing and advertising gimme a couple jokes while I was eating breakfast. The SII however has crazy screen quality and a great tech spec that pushes some boundaries (some of which they boosted and jacked from Apple obviously) but the handset is just too brick like for me despite being really slim reminds me of being at school and other kids being like wtf is that brick when Nokia and Snakes was the shit to have your hands on. Although I am a fan of Apple products and their capabilities, I am a trendsetter so I am also open to and a fan of the new exclusive shit that every Tom, Dick & Harry don't have, that next thing to blow which then becomes the new must have.

Tattoo Artwork

I really want to get a Mister Cartoon chest collar, the pain will be so worth it. I like the sounds and atmosphere of a tattoo shop, in love with the needle sound as a masterpiece is being created and etched into flesh.

G Frsh - Recording Artist & Entrepreneur 

I was really impressed with G Frsh's interpretation of the movie "King's Speech" for his new video. Frsh got it on point through the whole thing he really makes use of his owning a production company, all his concepts and visions are well executed. The style,mood and reference to scenes in the movie are well captured and the clothing was well put together with traditional meeting G's young Frsh fly guy aura. You gonna be seeing more of him on my page, one of my favorite artists.

S Dot B Photography

Love Life by S Dot B

This piece did it to me when I peeped it, instantly had my eyes hypnotized but not for the nakedness or her big boobs. It was the gas mask and the artwork that covers this extremely hot girl. The shot says so many things to me, when I saw it the thoughts in my brain went into overdrive performing their best impression of the Tazmanian Devil from the cartoon. As much as the photo is hard-body and rough with a strong subject, I feel S Dot kept it very sophisticated at the same time. He could of quite easily gone over the top and made it trashy and cheap, making it a typical hot chic i'm naked i know you wanna buss right now. Some of the shit it says to me are things like appreciate and love life people are dying everyday every minute somewhere, the wars are still going on in many upon many different forms so get prepared know yourself and what your fighting for, wars women are in everyday all over the world fighting for positions of power/equality in any given situation from a relationship maybe at their job, it's Love Life and the hands said to me prey for........a number of things. So many thoughts, those are not even getting me started. Really feeling the work and i'm inspired by every piece.

"What Up Gangsta pt.2"

Right!!! What!!! ~S*G*P*C*B~ Mu'f*#ker yeah i'm back!!! (hype talk over, it ain't even like that so don't get gassed) Anyways I haven't posted in a couple of days as you may or may not have noticed. Some of you did because I got ya e-mails about me posting more and how I can't miss a day. But I don't always have the time for multi-posts and with there not being enough hours in the day sometimes yeah I might miss a day or two, I do have creating to do you know which keeps the whole Saculles & George team BUSY!!! 

Here's a new 50Cent sample to say w'sup, welcome back, the well known part.1 was on the highly successful Get Rich Or Die Tryin' album. Fifty has been away but still in touching distance of the hip hop scene. Recently he has been dropping tracks for his Street Kings project, and now this just to let us know what time it is in case we thought he completely fell off, got soft and got musically lost. In my opinion, and a lot of people I've spoken to on this agree that over the years Fifty has not been able to find his way to the hit factory due to the shift in the music scene I won't go into all that otherwise I ain't gonna finish this post. The track is good, banging beat and Fifty delivers his simple but effective raw punchlines with his trademark melody. The joint shows potential of Fifty returning in a big way let's see but for now listen and enjoy. 

Mind Space

This picture illustrates what the inside of my mind feels like these days despite the everyday chaos that we get surrounded by in life. As my eyes gently open each day, I  haven't had the usual struggle that most of us have. Fighting your alarm clock for that precious "five more minutes" which can be detrimental if five more minutes turns into one hour later. Which consequently results in a mad dash as if your were auditioning for Supermarket Sweep, trying to avoid being late by missing your bus or getting stuck in traffic swearing and giving the middle finger to every driver on the road moving too slow or not letting you through at a junction.

My mind being this free makes generating ideas so much easier and my future that much clearer. I've been feeling a shift in energy for the positive a shift that will grant me a key to open the door that rewards me for the pain, blood, sweat, tears and hard work. But to get this key my mind must remain in this space while the madness of life's conundrum continues to relentlessly challenge who I am and where I fit.

S Dot B Photography

West Coast Aura, California Love

I came across S Dot B photography through a Kid Ink Alumni campaign and immediately loved what I saw at first its nothing that we haven't seen before from someone like Estevan Oriol but its the way S Dot's aura is capturing a very current here and now that has got me hooked really feeling the presence in each shot. S Dot does a lot of portrait pieces but don't be fooled because there is so much more  You'll be seeing me post different pieces that I like by S Dot B photography often as they match a couple levels in the Saculles & George lifestyle.

L.A. is one of the places I tap into for inspiration, I love the landscape and plus this chi-ca is hotness so these two shots are my first pick, anyways look forward to seeing  more.

'Big Narstie' Best In Grime - Grime Report

Been a fan of Narstie's big man charisma, for a while he always gives me jokes with his content. When I came across this recent bit of footage from the Grime Report I liked the delivery and had to post it even though he messed up and "went blank rude boy ahahahahahahaha!!!" Funny guy, his material is not fully understood by the masses but he's been going in for ages.

Quotes Of Wisdom

I've chosen two quotes this time that come from 'Steve Stoute'
a power player in the behind the scenes of Hip Hop.
He is an entrepreneur, successful marketer and pop culture revolutionary. I decided to use these quotes because it confirms why we have taken our time in laying down a strong foundation for Saculles & George to be built upon. I will do another post possibly tomorrow or maybe even later on this evening based around His Tanning Effect and how it is something that we naturally paid attention to at Saculles & George thanks to Hip Hop culture which will serve us well in the future with our empire.

Miss Jane Got Me Feelin' So Ooooooooo.

I woke up this morning with a bunch of things on my mind (as per usual) plus a stupidly long list of objectives, meetings etc. But this past weekend was so crazy in the lab with creating, partying and some other moments of madness I am still feeling the hangover effect way more than normal. And as much as I wanted to complete all the shit I had lined up, dam I am so lethargic right now and after about five tasks I started to feel like "I got 5ive on it" and smoked myself into a coma. I'm probably just a bit exhausted from playing hard and working way too much. With all my meetings taken care of I went back to the apartment and crashed out and just chilled, I plugged in my ipod and the first song to play was this joint by Bow Wow and I felt it hit the nail on the head. 

Miss Mary Jane is a bad mu'fu#*er shut yo mouth!!!

Judgement Day Jack Move (Pacquiao VS Marquez part III)

OK I know I said my next blog would be Monday morning but I couldn't leave this any longer. Like I mentioned in a previous post our Saculles and George team love a piece of boxing. Last nights PPV main event had all of us a bit passionately vex when the final decision was announced in the Pacquiao vs Marquez fight.
So Michael Buffer  does his thing and starts announcing the judges score cards, "114-114...... 115-113........." At this point i'm like huh whaaaattt!!!!! ok then that judge fell asleep somewhere and then comes the last score card 116-112 followed by "......and still WBO......" by now I was hearing blaaaa blaaaa bullshit what the f#*k was that then I notice Beautiful Day (Cold Play) playing then I start thinking to myself how is it a beautiful day for Juan Manuel Marquez??? A man who has just had his efforts and honor shit on. A very controversial ending to the 36 round seven year trilogy.

The boos from the crowd were louder than the ones Mayweather received a couple months back when he knocked out Victor Ortiz unsportsmanlike for a previous headbutt. Everyone feels the judges were wrong. I'm not an expert judge but when I watch the fight again the points may add up but for right now whatever, the heart, soul and honor of Marquez says different.

The decision is clearly not Pacquiao's fault, from the look on his face even he didn't expect to win and looked equally surprised as the disgust multiplied by disappointment hit Marquez harder than any punch Manny Pacquiao had thrown his way all night. Saculles posted his feelings on our facebook page (www.facebook.com/sgdesigns27), Saculles being Pinoy called the Philippines immediately and the feeling in the Barrio' and his post are the same "I'm Pinoy but even I know Pacquiao didn't win that fight FACT!!! There needs to be a fourth fight so no more Mayweather talk.-saculles"

I spoke to Saculles this morning and he was saying with the feeling being what it is for Congressman Pacquiao to return to his native land he must first do right by Jaun Manuel Marquez before retaining the title of 'The People's Champ' love honor & respect for the art of boxing and the simple pride of a man let alone the pride of the whole nation they need Pacquiao vs Marquez IV to make it right. He went on to say salute to both fighters despite the decision that rocked the boxing world.

Politics & Controversy Hmmmmmmm part IV Hmmmmmmm???  Let's see how they spin this now.....???

Koke is Home

New Roc Nation artist K. Koke has been released from prison, I won't focus on the negative and start going into his business because those things are not always good to highlight. The main thing is that the Stonebridge rapper is home and can get back to making music which is the path I know he would rather be on, when good makes itself visible evil is right there presenting itself too. Look forward to hearing new material from this guy.

TiVo Top Boy

I was MADD (shout out to Jon & Ralph) busy yesterday put finishing touches on the new cardigan we got coming out, but when I got the chance to be still for a few hrs I finished watching the Channel 4 drama "Top Boy" and by the end I was impressed but not at the same time. Being familiar with the U.K. road mentality and lifestyle I found the series quite standard and predictable but that being said it was close to the truth of what really happens and I still enjoyed the watch. If you don't know what your looking at you may get a little fed up and find it just straight stereotypical. The program was very well shot and i feel the camera lens didn't make Britain look hard and dry, had a finish/polish without looking all Hollywood and shit.

The script was simple but well delivered to us accompanied with solid acting. As Kane 'Knao' Robinson's first performance on screen I felt he did a real good job in playing a hot headed hyped up wannabe East End Top Boy. Schorcher gave a strong performance as the neighborhood stick up man, very standard but believable and realistic at the same time would of liked to of seen a bit more to his story as he was a big part of Summer House. Can't go into everything single character Dris, Gem, Lee etc and break them all down way too longlike but like I said everyone delivered solid performances. A lot of people talking about these two most in particular because they are very current and big in the music scene so chose to highlight them, job well done all round. The scene with the younger taking a crap behind some bins again't a tree while on look out gave me jokes great illustration of being caught short many of us know them belly noises, don't know about you lot but I've always made it to a loo that is officially known as bog when i'm out and about. The Asher.D and Bobby.R head shot scene was well executed, Ashley did great job in his role the acting experience shows good growth in mentality, emotions and levels was on point.

This post is going on a bit now so i will wrap it up because i know most people are not reading an entire essay on this program, it's a good watch would be cool to see it developed with a few more seasons before all "The Wire" comparisons because it's not close to that level depth, plots and characters but there is potential. If you missed it check my other Top Boy posts for the channel 4 link. 

Sneak Peaks

 Over the weekend I was in six.0.two studios with the S&G crew, and got a chance to get working on a custom cardigan and this shit is going straight in my shopaholics diary when they are available here is a glimpse of what we got coming will keep you updated. short and brief for now.

R.I.P Smokin' Joe

The team at Saculles & George love themselves a bit of boxing, so I felt I would take a moment to salute a great hero, legend and icon to many in and out of the boxing world. Joe Frazier was born  January 12th 1944 and was the 11th child to his parents he passed away November 7th 2011, sources report that Frazier was diagnosed with liver cancer back in late September. Smokin' Joe finished his career with 32-4-1 with 27 knockouts. when you watch him fight he really came out smoking for real and opponents have said that if you hit him he enjoyed it and gave props and if you knocked him down that would just get him pissed and even more smoking.

Grand Theft 5ive

My brother and I are big addicts when it comes gaming, and are huge fans of the GTA series. The first official trailer for the new "GTA-V" has come out and it's looking pretty good, had the pair of us hyped on some yeah pre-order that shit straight. I gotta keep it brief for now because i'm off out to get to work on some new Saculles & George business so i'll leave you all with the trailer. You may or may not have seen it yet depending on how interested you are in these sorts of things, i'm a few week late on the post too, been run off my feet lately and I nearly forgot about it to be honest. Any'whooty-who here's the clip enjoy.

Remember The Times (90's Hip Hop Inspiration)

This era to us is Hip Hop's greatest, when an Mc's level of skill determined whether or not they deserved platinum sales. Too many great artists and moments to mention and by going into them all, the point of the post will be completely missed. Anyways in the 90's Album artwork was just as important as the actual recorded music.

There are more than a thousands words in any photograph, and the artwork in the  those jewel cases have conversations that you can back and fourth ages. They give visuals to the way of life that artists were walking and a feel of the environments they were coming from. And as well as music videos album artwork then was also a catwalk for the must haves in street fashion from east-coast to west coast. 

Saculles & George got together with photographer Dean Lewis from Mean Dean Photography for this 90's Hip Hop inspired photo-shoot.
