Teruo was in the building again last week for David Banner's performance at the House Of Blues. I met up with my peeps from the station and The Firm at Banner's room a suite at the Mondrion (RIP PIMP C) across from the HOB. I step up in the spot and several websites are shooting video segments one at a time asking Banner about the new album,cartoon and the check from Lil Wayne's album. My favorite response was that he had just bought a chokain whit Phantom and its parked out front from publishing of Waynes certified platinum Carter 3. We kicked it in the room and he talked about how he transforms for his public right before a show.

Teruo's number one street ambassador Proph gets through security at the HOB (rarely happens without having to tuck my wallet chain in the bushes..lol) I proceed upstairs to the VIP and label area with more bracelets than a Punky Brewster Halloween costume. Let the show begin.... Banner comes out to a 4pc band right after DJ SKee warms up the crowd with some Banner classics. He breaks right into a Pimp C shout out called "Suicide Doors" off of his new album "The Greatest Story Ever Told". He was definitely a different person than in the hotel room. I mean right as he breaks the band down into an Im from Mississippi blues chorus he runs circles on the stage and drops to his knees to rep his home town. The show was crazy. Just to some it up I saw him hop of stage tear a active fans shirt wide open then head bang to a Nirvana cover run across the floor grab a stool stand in the middle of the crowd and make them shout Banner. Then he jumped off the speakers on to an unsuspecting (LARGE) record reps shoulders almost killed him but stayed on his shoulders to rock a song. After that he damn near killed himself doing "Like A Pimp" while hangin off the outside railing of the unprotected upper deck shouting Julie Pilat (KIIS FM) I would Kill for you. Banner shut the lights off and had the audience pray before he broke into a speach about racism and the future of our country. This dude needed an ambulance after this show. It was easly the most energetic heart filled show this Teruo Boss has ever seen. Bottom line shout out to D-Banner and his insurance company ya dig.

Say What Wednesday #4: Mean vs Green

info@teruo.com (Teruo Artistry) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:59:00 +0000

With Green being all the hype these days, and gas prices driving everyone into second jobs, when it comes to vehicles, more and more people are contemplating the tough trade-off of mpg vs. street credibility aka Green vs. Mean. Saul Good and P-Lo take the issue head on.

Prophet: Green
Green is the new gangsta. From recycled members only jackets to throwback shades I keep it green. When it comes to the pump Im no chump thats why you see Proph in his 500mile on one charge Tesla Roadster. I spend my money and drinks you cant pronounce at Starbucks not premium road burning petrochemical products that are killing my homies out there in the Sudan. Thats right ladies this Boss is a bit green where it counts. The love light in the bedroom is florescent and the whip is electric. Who says I cant put 20s on a Prius.lol

Saul Good: Mean
I know the logical reasons for a hybrid. Seventy-five bucks at the pump is a joke. The smog in LA is a choke. So why drive a gas guzzling powerhorse? Whether it's a Range or a old school SS convertible, fresh like what is the only way to roll. You do it because pulling into the valet in something tough is worth a thousand trips to the pump. For two, ladies love bad muthafu*#as. For three, you won't see me lookin like Dino off the Flinstones with my head out the sunroof. I need something I can spread out in that will get up and go. From the fast lane to the interchange...no stress, no stems, no seeds.

I'm holdin out for the day when they make a ride that expresses my 'tude without burning the crude, ya dig?

Say What Wednesday #3: Grippers vs Slippers

info@teruo.com (Teruo Artistry) — Thu, 29 May 2008 04:48:00 +0000

Sometimes it’s a choice. Other times, it’s a lifestyle. Such is the case with this Wednesday’s topic: Slippers vs. Grippers. Unless your as multi-faceted as a Teruo Artist, you probably don’t do both. Regardless, here’s the breakdown:

Saul Good
Slippers (Hawaiian for Flip Flops)
Because the yaba-daba-doos like the sunshine too. Picture yourself top-down, beats bangin, hair blowin in the the wind. Now apply that image to the little hairs on your toes. Same concept. Ten tan toes that don’t stink and a laid back statement telling the world you’ll get there when you feel like it. That’s why we live in the flip flops.

P-Lo da Driva
"When you take him to the Gucci store show him the loafs" - Styles P

That's me right there. Ever since I saw my dad in his 76 Porsche Spider with his Salvatore loafers on and said, "daddy what are those". That day I learned the swagger of the driving shoe. When I pull up to the spot hop out the Jag with a leather shoe only crafted to touch other expensive surfaces, that's when you know you just saw a Boss.

Say What Wednesday #2: Wife Beat vs Taco Meat

info@teruo.com (Teruo Artistry) — Wed, 14 May 2008 22:05:00 +0000

Wife Beat vs. Taco Meat
Bringing your fresh out in public comes with a handful of trade-offs. Perhaps none more crucial than the shirt-wear decision to either get your Randy Savage on, or keep it domesticated. So this Wednesday we ponder…Wife Beat vs. Taco Meat.

Saul Good
I only roll one way, taco meat out. Many men are bashful about exposing their hairy chest to the female world. In this metro age of emasculating , I understand the pressure to stay neat and tidy. But at the end of the day, real women still like real men. I’ve had several friends confide in me that I have inspired them to liberate their taco meat from the fruit of the loom confinement. To quote Dirk Diggler, “I’ve saved thousands…” You could be another.

*But please, be reasonable. Everything in moderation…unless inebriated.

Proph-Nasty

Ok Im deff on my Egyptian cotton Ralph Lauren wife beat underneath a neatly placed fresh pressed stupid expensive pop your caller if you’re a baller dress shirt type a dude. Nothin worse than a Larry at the club Oldspiced up with a leaf print hawaian shirt open wide enough to see his happy trail. Ya boy Proph keeps his look clean like a 6 series beam interior. I want my shit museum fresh. The reason:
Makeout time- Way more dramtic to have layers to peel off like a boss then to be naked after one button.

Beasting- If I get into it with the Hawaii Five O dude at the club I can furiously remove my outer shirt and hand it to my lady as to have that “Just Beat It” effect and scare the punk before he see’s my navel.

All in all ladies you want that biker beer construction dude or that gold chain bouncing of his wifebeat aviator over dome henny sippin smelling like Gucci Envy type Boss.

Say What!? Wednesday: How to Lose a Boss in 10 Days

info@teruo.com (Teruo Artistry) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:28:00 +0000

This week's edition of SWW touches on the more personal side of being boss...and that's dealing with the ladies. We've all been there and suffered the disappointment of a total dimepiece blowing her shot by committing the Cardinal Sins. Here's our lists:

P-LO
1) Not knowing how to pronounce Teruo Artistry. (Im out)
2) Open toed shoes and your feet look like one of the Flintstones. (You aint rippin my sheets)
3) Can only cook smoothies. (I dont want to have to go to Del Taco err night)
4) You have an ex-boyfriend who works for any police or government agency. (Self explanatory)
5) I have to meet your parents on the 2nd date and they want a drug test.
6) I have to watch 3 episodes of Lost before you are ready to go to dinner. ( I mean...)
7) While I'm a sleep you even peak into my jewelry box.
8) You snore louder than me.
9) You have a tattoo on your neck of the hood you grew up in. (I already have an ex with that)
10) Right after we have sex you start talking about how many children you want and how you stopped taking the pill. (Its happened)

Saul Good
1) Talk about past relationships on the first date
2) You drive a Range, but never had a job
3) Hairy arms
4) You don't tell jokes
5) You listen to the radio and think it's great
6) You drive like a tough guy
7) You email me 5 paragraphs the next day about our 'connection'
8) You have cats
9) You talk super loud at the restaurant and everyone can hear you
10) You're afraid of things like the ocean, going places by yourself and germs

Puma and Santa Cruz had something in common in 1987, what was it? No.........it was the debut of the "Screaming Hand" and the First Round Hi. Together they have made a catchy new age colab. This sneaker release will include a matching t-shirt. Skate away to paradise!

Say What Wednesday #1: Fitted vs Fedora

info@teruo.com (Teruo Artistry) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 20:32:00 +0000

Saul Good:

FITTED
The fitted cap is versatile. You can dress it up, dress it down, backwards,
forwards, sideways, flipped-up brim (if you wanna look like a barney). Wear
to the ball game and out to the club, you'll never look out of place with a
dope fitted hat on. You try to rock a fedora mid-day or at a sports arena,
and you get to be "that guy." Don't do it. Stay fitted, stay low-key, stay
cool.

Prophet:
Fedora

I want that throwback detective, old man gangsta, sophisticated boss look. My grandfather use to look so damn cool with his cigar and his Fedora with an 8 degree lean on his brow. I use to steal it before church and pose in the mirror. i dress them down with jeans and a T or you can Boss up with cuff links a collar and some cognac ya dig. Fedora means different...risky..and confident in not looking like a everyone else...you bz

RedBelt

Prophet your favorite Teruo representative reporting live from the Egyptian theatre in Hollywood for the premier of a Mixed Martial Arts film titled “Red Belt”.With an all star MMA cast like Randy Couture, John Machado, Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini, Max Martini and acting anchors such as Chiwetel Ejiofor and David Paymer it was deff interesting.

The story…
Redbelt is an upcoming action movie written and directed by David Mamet. As of July 2007, the film is in production, with many of the action sequences being filmed at the Pyramid in Long Beach. The film will be released in the USA on May 9, 2008.
The film concerns Mike Terry (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and self-defense instructor who imparts upon his students the skills to survive on the street, rather than prevail in sports combat. A series of circumstances brings Terry in contact with popular movie hero Chet Frank (Tim Allen) and a legion of Hollywood movers and shakers. Terry soon finds himself the victim of a con and, combined with a destitute financial situation, is pressed to enter the ring for pride and profit.
Mamet, himself a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and UFC aficionado, has described Redbelt as a samurai film in the tradition of Kurosawa 1. He has employed the resources of several members of the MMA community in the making of the film; Randy Couture and Enson Inoue have acting roles in the film, as does Jean Jacques Machado's brother John Machado who also planned some of the fight choreography.
David Mamet has earned the rank of purple belt under the tutelage of Renato Magno, who also served as the film's jiu-jitsu consultant.

Ok so the movie was on medium status it was more drama than action. I needed to see a few more arm bars for me to really respect this joint. The fact that I was Muchado and family’s guest means that that’s as much criticism I’m gonna give.lol

The best part of this premier was the old school low budget food services. They had carnival style hot dogs,pretzels and cookie stands. The red bull sponsored full bars deff didn’t hurt though ya dig.lol

Shout out to Kene G for the behind the scenes access. yeee

What's a Guerilla?

info@teruo.com (Teruo Artistry) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:18:00 +0000

When you're a young brand staying true to your identity, and not selling out to the latest all-over trend or design concept, sometimes you take it upon yourself to get shit done, knowing that staying true will help you stay around a lot longer than some ultra-trendy flash in the pan. So here at Teruo, we kick it Guerilla sometimes. All that means is we gather like-minded people in our community and work together to get it done.

In this case, budding writer/producer Bennett Smith stepped in and made it happen for a round of video shoots featuring Six Reasons, Grown Mo and Gregory Farr of Trojan Horse. The dailies look dope. Stay tuned for the finished product...
