Mickey Drexler is the CEO of J.Crew. These videos not only give insight into how he runs the company but just quality advice/outlook on how to interact the consumer on several levels including consumer relations, design, and aestethics. We live in a time of instant gratification and rapidly moving trends, I often look to his interviews for insight.

However, the best interview (in my opinion) is from about three years ago with Charlie Rose. I was having difficulties embedding the video, but it is about an hour long and worth the watch – MICKEY DREXLER x CHARLIE ROSE.

Here is a new mix courtesy of my friends DJ 7L of The Bladerunners and Frank The Butcher. Many of the tracks on this mix bring back vivid memories of the past for me. Anyone around during the Dipset reign remembers the boundaries they crossed (w/ Cam’Ron wearing pink, ha) and standards they set as a unified crew.

The reign of the Harlem Diplomats is without a doubt one of the most influential periods in modern hip-hop. The movement that officially started with family features on Camron’s ‘S.D.E.’ album turned into one of New York City’s most powerful crews. Dipset created a sound that transcended the borders of east coast rap with a style that fueled urban culture for the better half of the 2000s. Killa Cam’s unapologetic uptown crew, Jim Jones, Freaky Zeeky and Juelz Santana, evolved to be leaders in their own rights commanding offshoot rap groups while still reppin’ the eagle and still screaming Harlem.

To celebrate the legacy of the Diplomats, we put together a comprehensive mix spanning years of bandana wearing and flag waving. While there is no possible way to include every significant offering of their vast catalogue, we believe we compiled some of Dipset’s best music in this 100+ minute homage.

I recently came across this flick and video from a Bushmills event I attended about a month back. The event marked the launch of Bushmills “Since Way Back” campaign featuring the owners of Boston based shop Bodega with the likes of actors Elijah Wood and musicians Bon Iver, Chromeo, and Theophilus London.

Pictured left to right… Legendary record collector/DJ/producer Kon, Oliver of Bodega/Fourth Wall Project, Sam & Ben of Flavorheard (aka Whiskey Barons), and I.

Look out for the BDGA guys on billboards (second pic.) throughout the city. Congrats on the success.
