This is one of the most iconic beats in hiphop. (Crazy to think that it was 31 years ago when Illmatic was first released.) Pete Rock was a visionary when pieced the elements together for this beat.
Amazing.

These are one of my favorite Jordans. And these are one of the few editions that he wore on court AFTER playing with the Chicago Bulls. He was past his physical prime but the name, Jordan, his legacy was still ascending.
Note that the original colorway is white and royal blue not white and red.

I had to look at several web articles just to get some clarity on what are positive emotions. Here is an example. There are many options to choose.

Determination by Kanye
When it feel like living’s harder than dyin’
For me, givin’ up’s way harder than tryin’
Kanye West – Champion
I love this account of determination from Kanye. Never give up. I need to reach the next level of resilience in my life just like how he was able to achieve billionaire status (before his public fall). But who knows? His bounceback might be one of the greatest in modern pop culture.
By the way, Kanye is still a lyrical and musical genius.

Tweet of the Day
From the TheLastRefuge2 on Twitter I don’t know if I had mentioned this before but I was a fan of the original constraint that Twitter had when it was introduced to the public. Each tweet could not be more than 140 characters and there was no retweet function. Now tweets can read like blog posts. This totally messes up the flow of Twitter. You might as well blog on your own site or get a Tumblr or WordPress account.
With that rant out of the day you should read this brilliant breakdown of the Wall Streer versus Main Street dynamic when it comes the methodology behind each profit measuring.
