Offshore tax shelters not just for the rich.

I came across an interesting article in today's USA Today about off shore tax shelters. A once prevalent tool for large companies to secure their assets and protect their income from taxation has now become a means for averaged income Americans to do the same. Well let's just say the IRS doesn't like it when the common folk catch on to the scheme of things. Senator Carl Levin, D-Mich. said "$3,000 fee...to someone to help hide their assets offshore is getting to be a huge problem." Well I just seemed to find such a statement completely contradictory and hypocritical because of the large amount of US companies registered overseas. This is a practice that has been going on for some time here on our country. It is a great way to avoid taxation on a large amount of capitol and gains as well as it hides the information of those who are actually in control of such assets. What will really be interesting is if the independent "street wear" market, or any other sub-genre of independent businesses ever pick up on this practice and utilize it to their benefit. Imagine if we took the tools of big business and really started using them for ourselves. They already cater to us in many different ways shapes and forms because they have no choice (i.e. Jeff Staple's Weekly Drop), if they don't they won't survive. If we start practicing for ourselves what they do already, they really won't have a choice. Revolution happens through time, with patience, and to do it effectively you have to understand the hustle side of things not just the cultural side of things. Revolution is also a strong word and concept, but that's what this whole movement is about - being INDEPENDENT! Why do you think you've never seen an aNYthing New Era, because Aron believes in doing everything in house. We as a culture need to take heed to such philosophies to really garner change. Soon enough it will be - Viva La Financial Revolution! Remember "Its Your World" - Common BE

I try to check these cat's out atleast at once or twice a week. They are always giving good insight from many different avenues. Everything from technology, art, music and fashion. Seriously, check them out.

Good to see the Blogs Back

2006-09-13T23:47:00.000-05:00

This was an integral part of why Hypebeast was a great blog. It wasn't the daily updates on all the hype, its the behind the scenes perspective of the people who are really effecting the culture day to day. Hypebeast blogs.

So it seems they have really decided to push this. And we must say we are not dissapointed at all. I hope they come to a town near you. Currently Freshness, Hypebeast, and even High Snobiety are doing specials on the release. We personally can't wait to get our hands on a pair!

U WISH!

You wish you could get within even three city blocks of these, and so do we. I think one of us might try! Unless you can get to Limited Edt. Singapore around the 30th of this month, you'll probably only see them on ebay for some rediculous price. Seen on Slamxhype, via Streething. The other color ways and styles are absoloutley crazy! Nike is really pushing the envelope with their new revolution in air.

What would Nigo be without Pharell? WHo knows.

The Hilarious Overconsumption of Nigo

2006-09-12T15:54:00.000-05:00

Nigo has become a cultural icon within the states in the last couple of years thanks to Pharell and Jay-Z. His independent brand has become one of the most sought after articles of clothing for all the cool kids. Yet this cat loves to consume, and consume some more. When is it ever enough? Just a question, no respect lost. Check the video- found over @ Hypebeast.

iDiom we Love.

2006-09-12T15:49:00.000-05:00

I love this Jacket. For all my snowboarders out there, get your game up. Hypebeast also did a special on iDiom (one of Burtons sub-brands) a while back. Check it out. Available @ Wellgosh.

That's just Fresh.

Freshnessmag has done a small fall preview of Mighty Healthy's fall line. They've added New Era hat's, zip hoodies, and a few fresh tees for this line. We must say we thouroughly enjoy it. Can't wait till it drops.

Sometimes the American media is so over saturated with what is going on here in America, that it lacks world perspective. We here at Culture !s King obviously love the diversity of culture - whether that be from New York to Chicago to LA. This is why we enjoy the BBC news, not only for the great coverage of world news - Africa, Europe, Middle East & Asia - but also their sports perspective. Where else can you keep up with the English Premiership so effortlessly.

The New Supreme

2006-09-08T02:30:00.000-05:00

Supreme

We have so much respect for these cats, for building one of the greatest independent streetwear brands to ever come out of the states. I mean who doesn't love Supreme, from their add campaigns to their FULL clothing lines they are simply one of the originators of this street wear movement. I stress FULL because a lot of street wear lines today don't have the resources let alone the know how to come out with a full cut & sew line, outerwear, accessories, etc. And season to season, Supreme stays outfitted with the best. Alrigh enough hype. Peep the new sight for yourself.

-Check the New Era winter fitteds. Banannas!
-Also the Random section is worth a look.....for real.
