Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime, adding that prescription pills were found near his body."

Too mainstream?
But it seems lately, considering they mainstreamed theyre product to even stores in malls...rather than solely boutiques and lifestyle stores...the brand has become "played" to some "originals" in the "street wear game" lol...quotations were key there. Everyone wants to be a socalled original to all the stuff thats cool nowadays....not saying i am @ all, im just blogging here.
But to the real reason im posting this, kinda blew me to be honest.
Even with everyone and more by the day, wearing stussy product these days....calling a brand with such a history and an impact on the culture "overrated" is a bit shameful.

Race to the MVP - The Top 10

PPG 27.6
RPG 5.8
APG 5.0
SPG 2.1
BPG 0.5
FG% .443
FT% .854
"Last Week's Rank - 2The Lakers, who have won seven games in a row, are our top-ranked team in the league. One of the ways to gauge an MVP is his ability to come up clutch. En route to notching his 87th career 40-point game, Bryant hit the game-winning shot against the Sonics and for one night eased the hurt felt by Lakers fans following the injury news about Andrew Bynum.

OBAMA 2008
Info on this and more here.
Senator Barack Obama is interested in utilizing rappers to educate youth with Hip-Hop, should he make it to the White House.
"I’ve met with Jay-Z; I’ve met with Kanye. And I’ve talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap. I think the potential for them to deliver a message of extraordinary power that gets people thinking [is strong]," the presidential hopeful told Jeff Johnson on BET special What’s In It For Us?
While the possibilities are endless, Obama said that he still remains disturbed at some of the harsh images represented in Hip-Hop music.
"There are times, even on the artists I’ve named, the artists that I love, that there is a message that’s, sometimes degrading to women, uses the N-word a lil’ too frequently," he said on the show, which was played on Monday. "But also something that I’m really concerned about is [they are] always talking about material things about how I can get something-more money, more cars."
Obama admitted to being an "old school guy" that likes 60’s and 70’s soul music.
"I gotta admit – lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Jay-Z. This new American Gangster album is [good]. Kanye, I like. I enjoy some of the newer stuff. Honestly, I love the art of Hip-Hop. I don’t always love the message of Hip-Hop."
After being asked if he liked Hip-Hop, the Illinois Senator replied, "Of course."
Last year, Russell Simmons criticized Obama for calling on some rappers to amend their vulgar lyrics.
"What we need to reform is the conditions that create these lyrics. Obama needs to reform the conditions of poverty. I wish he really did raise his money on the Internet, like he said. I wish he really did raise his money independently."
Simmons later rescinded some of his claims and apologized to the Senator.
Throughout his campaign, Obama has preached under the mantra of change and he said he would like rappers to envision change through their music.
"Hip-Hop is not just a mirror of what is it should be a mirror of what can be. A lot of people say, ‘I want to be real. I want to be down. Then we’re just trapped in 'What is.' Imagine something different. Imagine communities that aren’t torn up by violence.
"Imagine that we’re respecting our women," Obama continued. "Imagine communities where knowledge and reading and academic excellence are valued, communities where fathers are doing right by their kids. Art can’t just be a rearview mirror. It should have a headlight on there pointing to where we need to go."
The show was telecast as the results of the New Hampshire Democratic primary were coming in.
Obama placed second after Hillary Clinton after besting the New York Senator in Iowa.
Despite the loss, Obama remained optimistic in a speech to his supporters.
"You know, a few weeks ago no one imagined that we'd have accomplished what we did here tonight in New Hampshire. For most of this campaign, we were far behind. We always knew our climb would be steep," he said to the crowd. "I am still fired up and ready to go."
With 75 percent of the precincts reporting, Senator Clinton raked in 39 percent of the vote and Obama took about 36 percent."
