To Darrin Hudson: A. B-BOYS ROCK THE WORLD.

About Me

Name: jeffstaple

Location: New York, New York, United States

I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

A. B-BOYS ROCK THE WORLD.

I just saw Benson Lee's Planet B-Boy documentary. It's a really well done film that will be enjoyed both by hip-hop fans and non hip-hop fans. That's always the hallmark of a great documentary. How do you make a doc that captures the interest of people who are not inherently interested in your subject matter? Benson did it. On a side note, Benson asked me about a year ago to design the logo and creative treatment for Planet B-Boy. I had to turn down the job because we were too busy. But I wish we could have done it...especially after seeing the great outcome.
Benson Lee氏のPlanet B-Boyのドキュメンタリーを見ました。ヒップホップファンもそうでない方にも楽しめるよう、よく出来ています。それが、最高のドキュメンタリーの特質ですよね。どうやってその題材に興味のない人々の興味をそそらせるか？Benson氏はやりました。それとは別に、一年前Benson氏は僕にPlanet B-Boyのロゴのデザインとクリエーティブ・トリートメントを依頼されたけど、忙しすぎてお断りをしなくてはならなかった。でも、やりたかったな。。。こんないい結果を見たらなおさら。
