Journalist Jeff Weiss discusses with DJ Skee the late great rappers 2Pac and Biggie. In his new book, 2Pac vs Biggie: Rap’s Greatest Battle, the author provides an interesting outlook on both artists from a standpoint of 15 years later following their untimely deaths.
More importantly, Weiss tackles what they mean to the hip hop culture, the importance of their music and their overall impact which keeps both rap artists relevant to this day. DJ Skee and Jeff Weiss also address the past rumor of potential tension that may have been brewing between 2Pac and Will Smith, Pac’s potential in acting, and the invisible line that was crossed in his beef with Biggie and the avoidable dangers it demonstrated to the entire industry.

A few weeks ago I linked up with Cloud Penz, Chris Webby, and Dizzy Wright in Glendale, to Gardena, and back to Long Beach to help shoot this behind the scenes footage with the SkeeTV crew. Check out the footage above to see the young spitters doing their thing and shooting their 4/20 video for “Turnt Up”. There’s definitely some dope shots set up for this video and I can’t wait to see how it all turns out. Again, I’ll be posting some exclusive photos from on the set that day too. Keep it locked, visuals above.
Crooked I recently took the time out during one of his C.O.B. Radio episodes to treat fans to a new written freestyle he’d put together exclusively for the show. The Slaughterhouse MC decided to go in over Jay-Z’s infamous “P.S.A.” to spit a few bars for his dedicated listeners. Check out the exclusive footage above of Crooked doing his thing brought to all of us by SkeeTV.

Up first is the new Nike Huarache Light Free Edition. The sneaker is composed of a familiar Huarache upper in a classic OG color way of Black, Concord Blue, and with hints of Team Orange. Along the toe box and inner lining there is also a nice stand out Neon Turquoise. Infused with a white bottom sole found on Nike’s Free Run models, the upper is made up of mesh material while a soft nubuck wraps along the toe box and sides of the running shoe. The classic Huarache logo stands out in Orange across the top of the tongue. DJ Skee also shares an alternate color way of the Nike Huarache Light Free Edition in wolf grey, white and infrared.
Supra S1W Stevie Williams
Next up are the Supra S1W Stevie Williams that were released in a vibrant Neon Coral color way. The upper sports soft quality leather while just above a white cup sole the sneaker is composed of nice nylon material. Not to be forgotten, the shoe also comes with Supra’s patented SUPRAFOAM which is sure to provide fans of the model with all the comfort needed.
Reebok DMX Run 10
Originally released in 1997, Reebok is back in the mix and has once again revived the classic DMX Run 10 style. The upper portion of the shoe is composed of a navy mesh that wraps around the shoe while the toe box and tongue remain white. For added detail, reflective piping also wraps around the upper while hints of Cherry are spotted along the Reebok outer sole branding, tongue, and inner netting. However, the classic runner’s most popular feature has to be its Ice Blue sole that provides a quality cushioning system.
Nike Air max Griffey 360
Composed with the intent of a Hyperfuse style, the Nike Air Griffey Max 360 comes out swinging in a White, Black, and Freshwater color way. With Griffey Swingman logo across the outer heel in white, the sneaker comes equipped with nice technical features such as the Nike Air Max 360 technology bottom sole. The Nike+ enabled Max Air platform also sports nice added details ranging from its “Swingman” lettering along the back heel to its “24” across the upper tongue. The toe box also sports a nice white leather with a fairly decent sized Black Nike check for style points.
