Soulstrut family. I'm drunk and I need $9.99
As you know, the music industry is in a constant state of assmoil and for every "rap your liking" phenom there is a trail of sale cobwebs that paints an ever bleaker bob of this hear music industry. Now, at this point, with lkkle fooks to give, I'm gonna put it like this: By my new album presale. On itunes. Why? because i recently found out that the "rap your liking" types sell SO LITTLE that you actually only need to sell about 1000 units presale on itunes to make it into the the top 5 on the itunes rap charts. and that puts you in the top 40 overall, which then puts you in billboard. So here's the deal:
I think I've contributed a fair amount since i've arrived here under extremely suspect circumstances. Sure, I've made a few missteps (after a very awful PM trolling I authored the prop1A thread without really thinking it through). But I've also built a studio for one strutter and a record shelf for another. I hosted an SS meetup in LA and showed everyone a beautiful fucking pigeon. I am the reason this :holygrail: exists. I sold my prized LA will make you Pay during Heatrocks and I have put out records and books that were born on this here site at a loss, only because they were rad and needed to come out.
So now I'm out of $$ and time, and I need you to simply click this link and buy my album. In return, I promise to keep posting about any variety of damned things and continuing to attempt to enrich some shit. And I may put out a beatoff LP, but I need you to buy this joint, right here, right goddamn now. its only $9 for fuck sake. We could house Billboard if only SS jumped in and helped out. sincerely, Porfi Jimenez.

oh yeah, here's a video for the album where I design all of the signs and the helmets and shit.

Will copulate tomorrow on a computer.
Then again, people dont know about
ZG Nation por vida, holmes!
Bambaaaaaataaaaa.
Why did the Crip cross the road?
'Cuzz.
On a site-contribution note, Thes and I started out adversarily in an argument about the propriety of wearing flip flops in urban environments, and ended up buddies who have done sleepovers and grilling. If that's not the magic of Soultrust, WHAT IS?
Yeah right, we give you that money and then you go and spend it on knit caps and lip gloss.
We've been down this road before.
So, what precisely is the Official StrutÔäó stance on flip flops in an urban environment?
For me, no. As my pallid plates resemble mortuary offcuts. For the wife, yes. Cafe-au-lait and pedicured - if you have it, flaunt it, as the advert used to say.
It ain't about nice or not so nice feet. It's about whether you carry your balls in a sack or not. Seriously, save those flip-flops for the pool or beach where they belong.
come drive down and I'll buy everything you can fit in the trunk!
im wearin' flip flops too
You wearing flip-flops in the city, you'd better be coming or going from some water. That's what I'm saying. Obviously a summertime thing in Seattle, so for all-time-summer places in southern California damn I just don't know. People get used to their weather and the clothes end up looking the same so boom I just called it: same rules in LA: to or from something watery or maybe camp-ish.
I will cop to wearing thongs (I got it from my momma) in the city as recently as yesterday. Went mountain biking. It was SEVENTY DEGREES y'all! Got sweaty and muddy and whatever else. 40 minute drive from my downtown Seattle apartment. Instead of just dirtying up another pair of socks, I air my dogs out after a ride. Flip-flops.
And then since I have this dirty bike I have to clean it before I put it back in my apartment, so I'm in flip-flops in the courtyard. Holy shit. In the city.
I wouldn't walk to my local grocery store in them, but I'll get a Gatorade in the gas station next to the mtb spot.
Man I dunno.
We've discussed this on here before, and I know I brought up how I discovered flip-flops as an adult in Hawaii, and just tried to keep that vibe alive back in the lower 48, and how after two hours of walking around in the city I was Michael Franti down there. Hell naw. No flip-flops in the city mane!
I just don't know.
What I do know for sure is if I don't support cool shit, people won't be able to do cool shit anymore:
I pre-ordered a rap record!
VIVA LA STRUTT
You taught me the overhead baffle mic technique, son. I fuckin' owe you.

You think you might have the instrumentals available on iChunes anytime soon?
I even downloaded the horrible piece of bloated malware that apple calls itunes just to purchase it. :coolsmile:
EDIT: This week its going to be in the 90s (35 for eurostrutters) in my town. I rarely wear shoes in my place and that means a pair of flip flops by my door in case I have to walk to the store or whatever. I dont like to go places in flip flops but its a heat thing. I fucks with flip flops.
How's the king of New York rocking sandals with jeans?
Open-toe sandals, chancletas with jeans on.
Song + Video = :hard_as_fuck:
Can't wait to hear the rest of the record!
:beerbang:
Also, tickets purchased for Calgary show in May :beerbang:
sandals/flip-flops are an extremely bad look and are to be reserved for pool-side endeavours only.
As my fellow Albertan up top says, flip-flops are strictly for pool-side endeavours.
Or traipsing about in your pad.
Slippers are to be preferred. Where are you located parallax? Feel free to PM

ihate itunes.
Stuck at a conference for a few days, but I will make it happen.
Well, so I woke up and got in the ocean this morning to surf it off. Guess what I wore as I drove down there? THATS RIGHT BASHES. Guess what I have barely covering my hairy toes as I type this in a Panera? YOU GUESSED IT. I suppose my lifestyle dictates le flip flop usage. But then again, you have to ask yourself, if flip flops arent appropriate for how youre living, maybe you need to change yo latitude. For this interested in a little lifestyle coaching, start with a pair of these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009HEQXE2/ref=twister_B002U82S1E
I've owned and test piloted many pairs and brands but Cobian Astro Jumps make you feel like you are walking on portabello marshmellows son.
Anyways - I want to thank everyone helping out with the presale effort and MAYBE - heres a thought,
in Itunes, rate the album 5 stars and then proceed to leave a comment about how its a good record but thes should not be wearing sandals in urban environments or something to that effect.
:hated_it: :walk_away_son: in flip flops
Yes.
I was born on the beach, and had a hard time wearing shoes when I moved to Seattle. I was still barefoot. Mud moss grass. It took a while for us to figure it out.
flip flops are soo necessary!
I take it you aren't one to chew on the little flecks of surfboard wax you find in the sand at the beach.
It's 60 degree day and I'm wearing nice leather flip flops with jeans because I live in the mountains and I'm happy the sun is finally out and it's warming up for summer. First exposure my feet have had in 6 months. It's the people wearing socks and sandals that have the real problem.
