Got Magna Carta Holy Grail?!?!

About a month or so ago, I did a post about rapper/entrepreneur, Shawn “Jay Z” Carter, where he ventured out to different entities in the entertainment industry.

The Musical Genius: Singer/Songwriter/Producer

As you viewers can see, I love music and the message it portrays. Rhythm and blues (R&B) is one of my favorite genres of music. I am not picky though when it comes to listening to different music. As long as the song has a good beat and lyrics, then I’m willing to listen to it. I enjoy everything from R&B, Rap, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Country, Gospel, and the list goes on.

Thrifting

 What is fashion? Do you define it by the clothing’s name brand, the person wearing it, how they are wearing it, or some popular trend? All of those examples can be used to describe what fashion is, but I believe that fashion is becoming less about the brand name. My reasoning for this is because lately ‘thrifting’ has become so popular. Thrifting is when consumers shop at resale shops, flea markets, or garage sales in their local neighborhood...
