HOYA!!!!

These South African rap muthafucka sons of bitches just irratate me. The music aint bad but its not up to my superior standards (im a snob.oh you didnt know?). They cant dress for shit they all look about two years late with the threads and even get me started on the shoes!

Now that I am done with the bad lets move on to the good. My boi Jaak is one of the nicest dudes I have ever met and it doesnt hurt that he is a good emcee either!Representing Paarl and rolling with Pioneer Unit means quality...I mean this is the same stable as Ben Sharper. This video below is called sweet (its afrikaans for sweat/persperation for my non-cape flats readers) produced by HIPE who is the best producer in the land.THE BEST VIDEO MADE IN SOUTH AFRICA!!!!!!

This video is far beyond international standard...its of an intergalactic quality and can be enjoyed even if you dont understand the language

PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN...

Proudly South African...YES!!!

But that doesnt mean local is lekker. 96,2% of the time it is not. I am not talking about the general population of our country coz they like our food is awesome but rather the type of media we put out and our "celebrities". Deborah Patta is retarded and Idols is for stupid people (except the first round because it always make me feel better about myself). These are just examples of dumb shit that gets on our television and we are supposed to love it coz its South African.Fuck off. Sometimes I flip through these publications and look at the local social section then I always shake my head at these phoney bitches in cheap clothes thinking they doing it beeeg....embarasing.Next time you chickens go to a party...do yourselves a favour and get at my girl Urban Mosadi aka the slickest stylist in the game.

Simple genius...

The advert for my favourite sneaker of all time. I wish we get these type of ads on South African television as it would do wonders for sneaker culture in SA. Instead we get bum ass rappers on MTV Base in a pair of dunks that he bought at Sportscene talkin' bout "Im a sneaker head"....embarassing!

Take a superior design and add superiour brand heritage then mix in with a simple concept and excellent execution and garnish with a bit of humour...this equals the recipe of a classic and iconic piece of work that extends itself far beyond its initial brief of just being an sneaker advertisement but instead positions itself as a piece of art along side the sneaker itself.

Sit back and enjoy 29 seconds of simplistic genius

WRITING THE FUTURE

This is my dream job.

Creating strategic platforms and creative briefs for productions like this (see below). I want to be flying out to London to break bread with Fabregas and Drogba then off to Milan to talk shit with Ronaldhino just before popping in at the Iniesta's on the way home. I would love to brief designers and consult with players on new design concepts. Im not the 9 to 5 office type of individual.I am a dreamer and an exceptionally good shit talker...I reckon that is part of the job. You would also need to understand business.Check.I got a BBA....and Im very close to obtaining a post graduate qualification from the best marketing school (AAA) on the continent so i think I am well on my way.

I have sacrificed socially and financially (I would say emotionaly but we all know I am a cold ass motherfucker) to get this far and I have no plans of stopping till i get to the promised land. This job, a Lambo, all the shoes I missed out on as a kid and a ridiculousy oversized gold rope chain has been my obsession since I was 14. So make a du'ahh for your boi!!!

Now I know alot of you might think this is dumb because 1. it comes from me and 2.what if I fail?you know the haters be lurking but you know me I dont give a.....

Impossible?Bitch please I already done got a Nike deal!!!!

Hayden Manuel X Nike.we the ufckin bessssssssssss

Church

"What you see is what you get!"


Do people still use this line? Where I come from people really believe this is righteous and assume that others have to live the same way. Why must one always play into the fantasy of "keeping it real"? If some one decides to employ a bit of tact in the way they conduct themselves is it being fake? What if I see you on a bad day and you looking like a bum? then what? I'm seeing you but is that really the real you? These motherfuckers are the same fools who are quick to employ the "don't judge a book by its cover" line when shit goes south...so fuck off with that bullshit.

See me personally I choose the amount and type of information I put out about myself dependant on the situation and company I'm in. But regardless of what how much and the content of myself I put out...its all me 100% Hayden.

Whether it be it be drinking and having profanity laced meaningless bullshit conversations with my brasse and my females (you people know who you are) or whether it be discussing the future of footwear,fashion,branding and advertising with bosses (yes,I have had these discussions with bosses) its me all me.

Sometimes I can be rude,arrogant and abrasive but that's just one aspect of your boi. If you see this side of me in your presence it means either one I'm really comfortable around you and I'm trying to take the piss or two I don't think much of you. If you not sure which one it is then well just ask me. Most people hide that side of themselves which in the context of the society we live in is the "right thing to do". Personally I don't give a fuck.

"What you see is what you get" doesn't fly here because I'm not a clown (very debatable) my life is not for you to know. So next time you see me acting a damn fool don't judge me because I don't live like you live...chances are my life shits on yours.

Safe.

Success is like suicide

With the same sword they knight you, they gon' good night you with

Shit, that's only half if they like you

That ain't even the half what they might do

Don't believe me, ask Michael

See Martin, see Malcolm

See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome

See Jesus, see Judas

See Caesar, see Brutus, see success is like suicide

Suicide, it's a suicide

If you succeed, prepare to be crucified

Media meddles, snakes sue you, you settle

Every step you take, they remind you you're ghetto

So it's tough being Bobby Brown

To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now

And the question is, "Is to have had and lost

Better than not having at all?"

Now if you know me personally then you probably know I have exquisite taste and a gift of finding and making "ugly" things appealing. I also have an affinity for the non-conventional...basically I can come across as an all round laaitie haha. So with that being said I find myself highly attracted to girls like this (see pics). I even tweeted about Pixie from LA Ink. All I want in life is my own sneaker line, a lamboghini and a bitch that got more ink than a space case.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony- First of the Month

Now if you are a constituent of the "urban" demographic above the age of 20 and never had this song on your playlist at one stage or another then...fuck you!
