Here are pics of Omarion’s upcoming signature sneaker, The Obio’s. Even Steve Wonder could see that these are a complete knock off of Kanye’s Gay Fish’s Meteor Man’s. Now let me be clear, I think both shoes are a horrible. But shark biting is a big no-no.

In the clip Asher responses to Em’s quote in the new XXL, on newsstands everywhere May 5th!
“Really, it’s just crazy that he even knows my name in the sense of being a 23-year-old kid on the come up, it’s great to have the pioneers before you really know who you are. It’s still early on in this project, there’s a lot to do, so, it’s awesome, man. That’s cool.

Yesterday, GLC and Gay Fish appeared on 106 & Park to premiere their new videos, “Big Screen” and “Amazin,'” respectively. No disrespect, but GLC looks more like Kanye’s bodyguard than an artist signed to his label. Instead of playing the cut, he maybe he should’ve check his boss’ ego.
“Earlier you asked me, I said I was doing beats for Jay. I said I was doing it and you asked me, was it good? Like what do you mean is it going to be good?”
Fish Sticks anyone?

In the new issue of XXL, Marshall addresses the Asher Roth comparisons.
“Asher Roth, I haven’t had a chance to, like, really get into everything, like, really get into what he’s about, because I’ve only heard a couple songs. There was talk about people saying he sounded like me, and he was doing this and that and, you know, trying to take what I do and do it. You know, shit like that. I’ve heard things. But the stuff that I’ve heard from him honestly, which certainly isn’t enough for me to make my own opinion and say, ‘Yeah, he does sound like me’ or ‘No, he doesn’t.’ But the couple of songs I’ve head, I don’t really think he does. You know what I mean? He’s doing his own thing. I can respect it, too, because at the end of the day, I think he’s dope.”
Well, there you have it folks. Fuck more you want for free? The June XXL drops nationwide May 5, Support your local newsstands!
