From our friends at Vibe Spring has sprung and in most parts of the country, people are unthawing from winter and gearing up for summer. Spring is a season of rebirth and renewal and the mild temperatures give us all a chance to remove some of our winter layers and show off sexy spring looks. Hip-Hop has always been a fashionable culture. We originate and inspire fashion based in the streets and tweaked with regional influences. As the culture ages, gracefully might we add, style becomes a little more subdued for the older folks, and class becomes mandatory. One of the culture’s style icons, Andre 3000 turned heads years ago when he cut off his locks, discarded his football jerseys and became known for clothing that gave new meaning to eclectic. Yet, even those days are behind ‘Dre and he more apt to be seen in tailored pants and a cardigan than crocheted pants and a turban. “Three Stacks” was recently selected as one of Gillette’s Masters of Style campaign, which targets cultural icons who style their facial hair as opposed to the company’s former “clean-shaven” image. Global Gillette vice-president and general manager emphasizes the significance of the campaign, “This is a new chapter for Gillette. We are stepping quite consciously into the style space,” said Lally. “We are reaching out to the worlds of music, fashion and film. These are guys with great facial hair styles.” In addition to great grooming and fly clothes, the right accessories can help the even the least stylish men pull together a great look. Our friends at Vibe offer up 10 great accessories to help you become a “Master of Style.” Check out the full gallery here and take a look at a photo below of one must-have item for spring.
From our friends at Vibe: Known for his G-Unit affiliation and mixtapes, DJ Whoo Kid is also the host of the hit radio show, Whoolywood Shuffle on Shade 45. One of the busiest DJs in the Hip-Hop industry, Whoo Kid travels extensively, performing and hosting events around the world. He is also working on projects with Snoop Dogg, A$AP Rocky and David Banner. In this exclusive article, DJ Whoo Kid talks about his radio show, his upcoming projects, and how women are usually at the center of most rap beef: You started out in this industry as a DJ doing beef mixtapes, which is still much a part of hip-hop culture today. What are your thoughts on the way rappers come at each other now like the whole Drake versus Common and Diggy versus J.Cole scenarios? How has beefing sort of evolved throughout the years you’ve been in the game? “I started in hip-hop when there was house and then when hip-hop came in, the rap battles were serious, it was crazier then. Thing is it was lyrical. Now it’s personal with the girlfriends and the mothers. Back then it was lyrics towards lyrics. Then Jay-z and Nas came in with the baby mama stuff. I was with Nas when he did “Ether then when we debuted it, it really started with personal, going in hard then of course, 50 Cent revolutionized it with videos and flying in the baby moms. Like who the hell does that? I’m afraid where words are gonna go to after this. I still believe Serena’s the reason why they’re (Drake and Common) beefing. The core thing of every beef is always a female. So unless we get rid of v#####, I don’t think the beef is ever gonna end. It’s escalated more to a personal thing. People always look at lyrics but lyrics got to have personal touches on it.” Read the full article here.

From our friends at Vibe.com Kanye West’s $5,800 Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are causing a bit of a tizzy in the modeling world. According to model Jourdan Dunn, the shoes which she wore in his show during Paris Fashion Week are “sexy” but painful to walk in. Model Leomie Anderson tweeted that Dunn got cursed out by West for complaining about the shoes. The shoes are calf skin, adorned with pearls, and feature a 4-inch heel. The shoes are sold exclusively in Paris at the ultra-trendy boutique, Colette. Kanye West’s second Paris Fashion Week show is scheduled for today, where he will debut his Fall Winter 2012 collection.
