Boston Style?

So I've turned into a straight up City Kidd since I moved to Boston. It fits my personality as well as my interests, and one thing I always loved was the different styles that Boston City Kidds have. We got kids with awkward haircuts, skinny jeans and reverse pedal bikes: Hipsters. The grunge graphic tee, torn jeans skaters that everyone else has. The hip ass Asian kids with the crisp Nike's and pressed Crooks and Castles apparel. Your typical college student with their school sweatshirt on, levi's and Asics running shoes, usually white kids. But before going through all the others, there is one particular style that I do not understand as a whole. It is monopolized by my beloved black friends, yes they tell me to say they are black since they hail from the Bean or NY and not Africa; but this style is also taken on by the flashy white kids with lineups at times. Everyone reading this post is going to know at least one person who reps this swag and it's not a bad thing, I just wonder where the creativity is?


Now just to start, they always wear Jordans, stricly Jordans. One of my boys has like 80 different pairs of Jordans, he's a fiend and has a true hobby collecting sneakers and I respect that because my idol, the late great DJ AM was a sneaker head. But okay, Jordans on the feet, then usually the crisp, dark Levi's jeans, nuff said. On to the top half, usally a 10Deep graphic tee, or some other rising clothing company you can find at Karmaloop. Colored G-Shock watch of course, throw a large black North Face coat over that, fur hood optional and to top it all off, a snap back hat that matches perfectly with the shoes, the watch and the tee. Usually not even a relevant team, some crazy ass squad that's not even close to Boston.....like Pittsburgh? Bro we know you don't give a shit about the 'Burgh. But it's all good, I'm not hating, just trying to understand why it's gotta be all these things at once?






HEAR ME OUT! I enjoy all of these items, I have just about all of these, except Jordans, not my thing but that's a different story. I just don't understand why every "City Kidd," has this look? Switch it up, grab a different watch, wear shell toes, maybe go back to fitted hats? I'm not even sure, this is my take on the current styles hitting the Bean. I'm wondering what some of my boys' take is on this, I do embrace this style, and each item within it, but can't we switch it up Boston? Guess I just like to be different, plus I'm white, and my boy with the Jordans always tells me "I just don't understand cuz I'm the white kid." Haha it's straight though, some things I may never understand, until then, Ima keep posting these opinions and feeding you with Drunkadelic style. Get at me.




Shouts to all the companies I mentioned and to everyone that reps this style, rep tha bean children. Be sure to check out Karmaloop for all your apparel intoxicating styles.

Ode to Miller High Life

Here's to you oh Miller High Life.



Only until recently, did I realize that you are a poor man's beer, a cheap alternative to a night, a so called sham of hops and water. How you hid this all so well with your golden tint, your 1950's classic labels and that pretentious bitch that's sitting on the moon toasting to life. You lurk in the shadows of the Bohemian Pilsners, the IPA's and the other unpronounceable brews, like Chunk from the Goonies stuck in the basement. Priced at only $10.19 at the local Blanchard's for an 18 pack, you provide a safe haven for hipsters and cheap college students. You've earned such a bad rep......or have you?

You are a hand crafted gem, brought to us by the Miller Brewing Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Making the list as one of the most American things in my life, you bring a sense of comfort when consumed. On several occasions, I have had epic nights with my boys while drinking these High Life delights. You truly are the Champagne of Beers and I want to commend you on being my beer of choice. So while I sip on one of these, in a can no less, I dedicate these next few years to you, because God knows you and I are going to be chillin for a long time.



Here's to Honor; Get on her. Stay on her . And if you can't come in her , come on her. To Honor.
Cheers.

Is Tropical- The Greeks

This was shown to me by The Hebrew Hammer, an unbelievable music video editing with everything from little kid violence to fake youth drug cartels. The song is sick, the video is ballsy. Enjoy.



SKIPPY



Every ripper we throw at the 66 Quint Palace would have our very own, "SKIPPY," on tap. And by on tap, I mean thrown into Gatorade jugs and placed on the counter in the kitchen, right next to the counter that girls get on top of and dance on; no matter their size..... We would literally go through three batches of SKIPPY in less than two hours. It has always been a huge hit and now become a classic drink provided by the Quint boys. So what are the ingredients you ask?

  • One full thirty rack of beer. Preferably Busch Light or some other cheap shit.
  • One fifth of Vodka. Again, something cheap like Cossack or Orloff. 
  • Two 2 Liters of Mountain Dew
  • One entire small bucket of Country Time Lemonade mix. Flavor of your choice. 
Now sometimes you may be running short, but you promised that hot blonde with the mini skirt a cup of SKIPPY. Now you need to improvise, Gatorade bucket isgetting dry, how are you going to pour the drink? Improvise with rogue ingredients of course:
  • Excessive amounts of Red Bull. They once sponsored one of our parties and I emptied a case into a SKIPPY batch, along with other things.
  • Any FOUR LOKO. (Be careful, this is a one-way ticket to Black Out City.
  • Brugal. Some Spanish liquor that a friend of mine introduced me to. It's pretty serious, and along with the Red Bull, I added half a bottle of this.
  • Sauza Gold Tequila. 
  • Your typical Lemon Lime Gatorade.
  • Random beers you find in your fridge.

These are all personal additions as I scrambled through the kitchen trying to stretch the last batches at our blockbuster parties such as Highlighter Party, Halloween Ripper, Farewell FOUR LOKO. This has always been a hit with us, it was shown to me and I cannot take full credit for the recipe, nor any credit. I think it's a 53 Joy recipe, who knows. I also have no fuckin clue why it's called SKIPPY, it has absolutely nothing to do with peanut butter. Fuck it, try it out, it's sure to take off at a party.

Trust me, it tastes dangerously good. Would I steer you wrong? Grab your SOLO cups, tell the DJ to spin some face melting Dubstep and get weird with that blonde chick in the mini skirt already!
