Go Tell Disney All Your Fuckin' Ducktales
One thing that we respect here at It's A Lifestyle is keeping it real. And breasts.Obviously Donald shares our sentiments. Unfortunately, though, Warner Bros. does not feel the same as its counterpart, as they've been keeping it very fake. 
Warner Brothers is accused of exploiting African amputees in order to promote the movie "Blood Diamond".The studio handpicked 27 teenage and child amputees from South African hospitals to appear as extras in the Leonardo DiCaprio film and promised to provide prosthetic limbs as well as a small salary for their contribution. However, more than three months after filming wrapped, the kids are reportedly still waiting for their new limbsÂ
A rep for Warner Brothers told the amputees, "You will have to wait for December, when the movie comes out, so we can get some publicity out of it."Damn. Props to WWTDD for breaking this story.On another note, there's been some rumbling in the music industry over the weekend. No matter how bad the album cover is, The Doctor's Advocate is shaping up to be something serious.
On "Olde English", he gets very introspective, creating images of a kid growing up in the jungle that is Los Angeles over Hi-Tek's mellow piano.
The Game- Olde English
And if that doesn't work, here's the backup.
He then gets a great lyrical push by Nas on "Why You Hate The Game?", accompanied by the ever-so-soulful Marsha of Floetry. Just Blaze did what he does best on this track, bringing authenticity and originality to a song that could have gone in any direction. The breakdown is something serious, as Just takes us all to church.
The Game- Why You Hate The Game?
On "The Doctor's Advocate", A drunken Game takes some time to speak with Busta Rhymes on his situation with Dr. Dre, explaining how he looked up to Dre as a father and how he regrets taking some things for granted. Busta really helps this track, as he gives Aftermath's side of the story and explains how it was seeing their dynamic. Throughout it all, as both Game and Busta say, "It's Still Aftermath."
The Game- The Doctor's Advocate
Check the tracks out, and give us some comments on what you think. Could this new album be all it's cracked up to be? Is The Game just trying to make us forget the Change Of Heart Episode? We give you our opinions all the time, and we want to start hearing what our readers have to say.
Peace.

Say It Ain't So Nike
Where to start, Ahh what the hell. As many of you know
NIKE is retroing the very sought after OG Air Tech Challenge, which is the shoe Andre Agassi wore years ago while he was in his prime. Unfortunately while were used to half assed and disappointing jordan retro's , this is just taking it to far.
As you can obviously see the differences in the OG and retro pictured above[OG, then retro], they manage some how to reproduce the shoe minus all the qualities that made it hot. So as the message boards go crazy over this latest development hopefully nike will re-work the sample before they make thousands of those hideous things

Obama in '08
He's doing it. Barack Obama is considering running for president in '08.
WASHINGTON (Oct. 22) - Sen. Barack Obama acknowledged Sunday he was considering a run for president in 2008, backing off previous statements that he would not do so.
The Illinois Democrat said he could no longer stand by the statements he made after his 2004 election and earlier this year that he would serve a full six-year term in Congress. He said he would not make a decision until after the Nov. 7 elections.
"That was how I was thinking at that time," said Obama, when asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" about his previous statements.
"Given the response I've been getting the last several months, I have thought about the possibility" although not with any seriousness or depth, he said. "My focus is on '06. ... After November 7, I'll sit down and consider it."
Obama was largely unknown outside Illinois when he burst onto the national scene with a widely acclaimed address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
In recent weeks, his political stock has been rising as a potentially viable centrist candidate for president in 2008 after former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner announced earlier this month that he was bowing out of the race.
In a recent issue of Time magazine, Obama's face fills the cover next to the headline, "Why Barack Obama Could Be The Next President." He is currently on a tour promoting his latest book, "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream."
On Sunday, Obama dismissed notions that he might not be ready to run for president because of his limited experience in national politics. He agreed the job requires a "certain soberness and seriousness" and "can't be something you pursue on the basis of vanity and ambition."
"I'm not sure anyone is ready to be president before they're president," Obama said. "I trust the judgment of the American people.
"We have a long and vigorous process. Should I decide to run, if I ever decide to, I'll be confident that I'll be run through the pages pretty well," Obama said.

It's A Lifestyle x Still Truly Fresh
Matthew Ford is a cool cat.
He's also a man who loves where he's from. Hailing from the great city of Washington, D.C., Matthew is the founder and creative force behind Still Truly Fresh, a clothing line that has trendsetters from Philly to Miami clamoring to grab one of their limited high-quality pieces. I got a chance introduce him to the It's "A Lifestyle Crew", hit a few blunts, and rap with him about everything from fashion, to music, to the art of doing you.
ITS A LIFESTYLE: What were some of your earliest influences?
MATTHEW FORD:
I was like every other young kid. [You] just see all the shit that you know is good quality, and add that to your style. I like Jean Paul Gaultier jeans, I got the Diesel jeans, I got the Seven jeans, stuff like that. I like that, so I just add that in.
IAL: A lot of people don't realize that D.C. is a very fly city.
M F: These days, man, niggas is really getting on their fashion shit. Niggas want to be unique. That's one thing I've been on since I was in highschool, when I was really shopping shopping, doing my thing. We might have some bright colors on like we're down in Miami or something, but we in the City. I got a keen eye for colors, a keen eye for what's fashionable and I think niggas would like. If they don't like it, then we're setting a trend, and that's another thing that Still Truly Fresh is about; setting trends and having niggas like "Damn, I never thought of something like that!" Thinking outside of the box, so niggas will be like, "Man, I want that. I want to be different." And we got the colorways, [where a] shirt might be, in one colorway, maybe five shirts made, so if I sell half in DC, some online, some people in Florida wearing them, then you're never going to see another person with your shirt. That also gives it that added exclusivity. 
IAL: How is it running a D.C. based label, and spending 9 months out of the year in Florida?
M F: Like Nas has a New York state of mind, I'm a DC state of mind type of dude. I love the City [of DC]; this is just where I'm going to school at. I'm using college for what I need it for. I'm getting my education, I'm selling these clothes, I'm throwing parties, I'm doing these fashion shows. I wanna get at least the City behind me. I've sold a lot of shirts in DC; I've had white dudes in Adam's Morgan buying my shit, I've had niggas who just got outta jail down in South East buying my shit, so it's love. I know it's a bunch of haters in D.C., but like my man Wale said, "Hate is the new love." If you don't got no haters, you not doin' nothin' right. Basically, being from DC, I'm not your typical DC streetwear [designer]. You're gonna see the black shirts with all different color stitching, I'm straying from that. I never liked that type of stuff, but I got mad respect for those dudes for finding their entrepreneurial spirits.
IAL: Washington D.C. is known for its independent labels. It seems as though a new street brand pops up every week. What's your take on the fashion scene in D.C.?
M F: Youngin's like the Solbiato, they like the Shooters and stuff like that. I mean, it's all fine and dandy, but that's not even my style. I like shit that's different. I don't like to be part of the same thing everyone else is a part of. I like to jump on my own lil' echelon and do my own thing, make shirts that I would wear. Shit that I created outta my mind, some crazy shit I might have thought of, jotted the idea down. I'm really out to make niggas buy unique clothes, have my stuff on, set theyselves apart, be fresh themselves. That's all the brand really stands for, is being unique, nah mean? Setting yourself apart from everyone else that's out.
IAL: How do you feel STF sets itself apart from other streetwear labels?
M F: We pride ourselves on thinking outside the box when it comes to our designs, our colorways of our shirts, stuff like that. Really in everything we do, it's just thinking out of the box, being unique, putting people on the freshest shit out, just being out there. You don't gotta be big-headed, but whether you say it or not people know what you got on it unique and is the eshit. Like, "Damn, I fucks with this shit, I'mma get some more shit." Keeping youngin's hooked on what we got out here. It's about being the best at what you do. That what i'm striving to do every day.
IAL: Describe yourself in five words.
M F: IÂm an artistic individual, I'm fashionable, I'm stylish, unique, outside of the box, I don't know man (laughs). Unlimited words to describe me, dog.
IAL: What was the first album you bought out of the store?
M F: When I was like in 1st grade, I used to listen to Boyz II Men and shit like that, B (laughs). I mean, that shit is vicious. I always loved music. If not the words, lyrics or whatever, the way the artist sings, the composition. I'm the type of dude that loves all types of music. I like hip-hop, I like R&B, Soul, Neo- Soul. I like original soul, Marvin Gaye, shit like that, real stuff that you can feel in your heart. Once you hear that shit, your body just can't help but, bam, move.
IAL: Any shout outs?
I wanna say whassup to my man Eric right here (laughs), Tubs, all people getting down with STF, Tonio, Mel, Oliver. I gotta say whassup to my mans down here at FAM, my Philly youngins, my B-More youngins, NEVO, New York, D.C., P.G., all of that. Fuck it, even Montgomery County. Even to the haters, I'd like to say whassup.
