What clubs are you going to? None of the shoes you posted would be appealing in any upscale, adult clubs I've ever been to. Granted, I haven't been to German clubs, but unless German women are drastically different from French, British, and Americans in terms of taste, I have no idea how wearing those could make you look good in any non-athletic situation.

Hmm, 2011 wasn't that good a year for hip hop. Some albums I did enjoy (in order):

The Roots - Undun (probably the best hip hop album of 2011)
Jay-z and Kanye - Watch the Throne
Saigon - Greatest Story Never Told
Kendrick Lamar - Section.80
Royce da 5'9" - Success is Certain

That said, I'm almost always a year behind in music. I generally wait until the end of the year to scour "best of" lists for new music. Your question reminded me that I haven't looked at DJ Premier's yearly list of the top 25 albums, so I'll go do that now

Interesting blog. Found some stuff interesting, some, not so much.

Since everyone seems to like the shoe topic... these are the perfect balance between wanting to wear sneakers and wanting to not look like a kid in athletic shoes. imo

+ Show Spoiler +

Very easy to go back and forth from a relaxed to a classier look.

I agree with James Blake but i don't find his music reflects the early dubstep ethos or feels like its connected to where it started either. It's hard to describe exactly what that is, but as Mala said his music reflects the feelings about living/growing up in London. I did myself and can definitely feel the atmosphere reflected in dubstep and some drum n' bass very well. James Blake grew up in London too but his music is not like say, Burial's first album, in how it feels at least.
