Adidas Artwork by Andrea Joseph

I love this type of art, i wish i could draw as real and as detailed as this with a pen. Pencil yes, pen no! Andrea Joseph is known for creating his artwork using nothing but a ball point pen. He has produced a new project for Adidas which is made up of 3 pieces, a red, blue and white color-ways. 2 are A4 size and one is a little smaller.

iPhone 4G preview

So this is the newest iPhone. The 4th generation iPhone also known as the iPhone HD. Even though i loved Apple's sleek rounded usual design, i appreciate that they have endeavored to change things up a little instead of just releases a few more features like they have done in the past. I have seen this in black which looks so sleek and sexy, but i didn't wanna post the images as im not sure they are real! On this original; it features a totally flat body, with a body-wide aluminum border, unfortunately a smaller screen but 16% larger battery :-D

The main additional features are:

- Front facing camera for iChat capability

- Better camera with LED Flash

- High Res Screen

-Micro-SIM instead of a standard SIM

One thing im concerned about is the Micro-SIM feature. How will it work? AT&T in the US is the only carrier that supports this as of yet, so how will this effect its international usage?! :-/

I want one. Cant see it coming out in england until 2011 to be fair!

Vans have brought out a new line one Vault X MLB collection shoes. They are vans representing different american state sport teams.

I also like the style and color of the Philadelphia Phillies, they look fresh.

Nicole Scherzinger on Dancing With The Stars (week 3)

Almost 2 weeks ago i posted Nicole Scherzinger's "Jive" on Dancing With The Stars and it was fabulous! Check it out here. This week she attempts the 'Quick Step' and i loved it enough to post it! I think its great. As an animator i have been introduced to a lot of slap stick comedy and this is portrayed perfectly in this performance. Its so up-beat and energetic, it puts a smile on your face :-D

Capcom - Super Street Fighter IV Artist Campaign

There are few leaders in the gaming industry and Capcom Entertainment is one of them. They have kept us hooked with many great games over the years. The Street Fighter series is their longest to date and their latest creation 'Super Street Fighter IV' is set for release later this month. To coincide with the launch of the game, artists have been hand picked to take part in a campaign. They have been asked to create Street Fighter imagery in a notebook doodle style and some of the results can be seen here. Please click after the jump for larger imagery.

Jadakiss - Til It All Falls Down

This track is MASSIVE! From the first couple beats of the drum i was hooked like the pied piper! I have a feeling the intro to this is gonna get blazed in the club and mixed nicely into something else. I'll keep my ear to the ground for the remixes.

Nike Air Presto - Summer Releases 2010

It has been a year today that i posted the Air Presto summer releases 2009 and was blown away by the red color-way as it was new and fresh. There's nothing much new this year, but i still would. They have changed up the accenting slightly, as you can see the 2009 joints that i posted were all red apart from the sole, but these ones feature the white accenting. These are the only running trainers i would happily own. They are light weight, comfortable and airy, great for running but also just for general comfort. The green color-way os the most eye-catching this time, but i think you know i would only rock the red ones successfully ;) Please click after the jump for the up close and personal images of each color-way.

Kanye West - 'Good A$$ Job' set for June release

There has been so much speculation of late surrounding the release of Kanye's up and coming album and also the features on that, being rappers or producers. Either way i am EXCITED! I feel like its been a long time coming, he's been hiding away for so long i haven't heard much about him. I hope the album explodes coz Yeezy is a musical genius and deserves nothing less. Album is set to release this coming June and is entitles "Good A$$ Job".

Tiger Woods - Nike Golf Ad "Earl and Tiger"

This ad is so short but so deep! Tiger Woods has been the centre of a huge media scandal of late and people may have thought there was no comeback from that. But on April 8th 2010 Woods announced his Golfing comeback after 4 months off and here is his latest Nike ad campaign to go along side that. It is obviously relevant and can be interpreted ambiguously, but we all know what is implied here. Nice move Nike!

Blue/Grey Colorways - Nike Dunk High / Supra Dixons

Im loving the blue and grey color-ways that are being released recently. Nike have released their High Dunks in this matt grey and royal blue finish. Along side Supra who also have a new release, namely the Supra Dixon. This is another brand new release from Supra, however these are exclusive to Zumiez stores. I love the blue suede with the accented matt grey on the heel, thats a nice touch, makes this chubby trainer look so much more appealing. Please click 'more' for more images.

So Rap Radar posted this today. Vibe are naughty lol. But still, i wanted to give my opinion as to who i think are top in each category as opposed to 1 producer against another in each category!

Homegrown

obviously has to be Dr Dre. But it was difficult because some 

of these producers have created amazing records.

Mass Appeal

Got to be Timbaland and Swizz Beatz!

Soul Sample

Kanye West

No I.D is killing it though, The alchemist and J.Dilla!

Boom Bap

This was the hardest one! Theres a few i love. Top

ones have to be Jam Master Jay and The Beatnuts. RZA is 

killing it too. Scott Storch was amazing! Damn... too many!

What you think?!?!!?

Miguel ft J.Cole - All I Want Is You

So Roy mentioned and posted this track on Twitter yesterday, basically saying he posted it for the J.Cole feature originally but once he listened to it he realized this new dude Miguel is alllllright! Lol. So i copped that and what do you know... this Miguel dude really is allllright! Track is dope! I have it on repeat. I loved it from the first drum, then i loved it even more from Cole's first bar, then the vocals of Miguel!!!! NICE. The video above is Miguel speaking on how the collab came about.

Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly II

Nikes recent campaign for their up and coming Mercurial Vapor Superfly II football boots definitely caught my eye. Not only does it capture wonderful graphic design, created by the amazing Sølve Sundsbø, it also masters animation techniques, special effects and 3D modeling, created by the French motion graphic master duo GKaster. I am in love with everything they have produced for this campaign. It is so intricate and detailed, so many angles with perfect composition. This image and video obviously advertises this boot in the best way possible and to an athlete it would say more to them then actual words. I could talk forever about the actual boot and its brilliant spec, but really im posting this for the design aspect and animation.

VIDEO: Snoop Dogg ft Kid Cudi - That Tree (Behind The Scenes)

I love the concept for this, i think its gonna be good! It suits Cudi to a Tee and Snoop just makes me laugh whatever video he's in!

Air Force 1 - Black Patent

These are serious!!! i know you know im not really a fan of AF1's, mainly because of the platform heel! But these are so sexy, i know i could make these look amazing. They look so fresh and they support the 'All Black Everything' trend we have going on right now. The toe box is all patent and the side panels feature perforated leather, giving that collaborative surface design that is also going on at the moment. I like that they have used the perforated leather instead of suede, its fresh again. These can be purchased at ExtraButter, get them whilst you can, they wont last long!!! Please click after the jump for a more detailed image.

Adidas Interviews

I have blogged a few times regarding Adidas' latest campaign and i love that they are constantly adding to it. They have now released additional footage in which some of the personalities that participated in the creation of the campaign are interviewed about their thoughts on general subjects. Very interesting, especially if you are a fan of the professionals interviewed. I have posted my favorite on here being Ciara, but you can also click after the jump to check out interviews with the likes of David Beckham, Noel Gallagher, Snoop Dogg and Jeremy Scott. Also wanted to shout out the jacket Jeremy Scott is wearing, i love the concept of stars and stripes, the guy is half genius half crazy! :-D

Supra Vaider - Suprawood preview

Supra are being to surpass themselves when it comes to color-ways. They have taken a leaf out of Nike's book and have basically kept the same 3 shoe designs but released a million different color-ways, which everyone loves. Especially me. They have released teaser pics for a new Vaider design which they have dubbed the 'Superwood'. They appear to sport a TUF grade heavy duty black canvas upper along with intricate details of cut-out stars. The detail of the cut-out stars is so dope! Other features include gold trimming, visible on the piping and the heel tab. The sole is a classic white design with a double black ribbing. I usually would like the fresh white sole to be only white, but i think in this case the double ribbing is well suited. I think from these preview pics, im gonna fall deeply in love with this one! :-/ lets just wait and see! More picks after the jump..

Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj is not messing around!!! Girl is a bad bisshhh! Shes going on raggo, keeping the new green hair doo!

I have one question for you guys... is she the new EVE?

Reflection Eternal ft Estelle - Midnight Hour

I love this track! I think you guys know my love for Estelle from previous posts. Girl is doing her thing and its alllll good, cannot fault anything. From time she is creating music with the likes of Kanye and now Talib Kweli, she is definitely doing well. Im hoping the album 'Revolutions Per Second' is mellow like this and knowing Talib, it will be. Iv heard 'Just Begun' ft Jay Electronica, J.Cole and Mos Def, that is niiiiice, check it here. Interested to know who's producing on the album, if anyone knows, holla.

4.3.2.1 Movie Trailer

I saw the buzz about this film on Twitter shortly after 'Shank' hit cinema's. I am actually looking forward to this one. I like what Noel Clarke does cinematically, you can tell his style as soon as you see it. Im pretty shocked at the actresses he has got to play the parts... i love the feistiness of Michelle Ryan from 'Bionic Woman', looks like she plays a great role. We'll have to wait and see, Release date for the film is June 2nd.

T.I Speaks About New Album

In those 1min and 33sec i felt more truth and sincerity from T.I then i have ever witnessed! Deep! Roy from DJ Semtex Blog asked if this album could have more success then 'Paper Trail', i have to say no. From what T.I was saying about it being ol' Skool T.I, aggressive southern rap... it wont get as much commercial time as Paper Trail. But to be fair, it all depends on who he is collaborating with and who's on production! G'luck to him i say, i look forward to the drop.

VIDEO: Kiley Dean - Say Something (REMIX)

Just back from touring with Madonna, Miss Kiley Dean has released a video for her new remix to Timbaland & Drake's 'Say Something'. I think she does a good job but the track is screaming for a rap verse from Drake. If it had that, it would break the song up nicely and i think it could be nice. The video however does not impress me, i like some of the visuals, but the concept of her writing the lyrics in a pad makes me cringe!!!

SneakGeekz - Mr Cartoon AF1

I love this guy, he really knows his stuff, which is incredibly inspiring. He touched upon the money subject, how much certain kicks can potentially be worth depending on 'exclusivity'. Its a crazy fact to be fair! The sneakers that he is discussing are Mr Cartoons Live Strong AF1's which i can appreciate have been around for a long time... coming up on a year now. I obviously wouldnt rock these, i think you guys know my style by now. I don't really post really extravagant custom's as they don't interest me much apart from color-ways. However, like always i love to appreciate what has gone into the making of things and the detail on these are spectacular. The detail on the mid panel of the clown and the low rider is mad! Mr Cartoon leaves his mark on all things he touches and even managed to come out with a matching color-co phone cover to these shoes, very impressive. The fact that Marvel tried to get the shoe's discontinued because of the spider-web bewilders me! Fools! Check out the kicks and phone cover below. Close ups on the phone cover can be seen after the jump..

Dre & Jay-Z in studio

It has finally been confirmed... Jay-Z and Dr.Dre are collaborating on a new track which will feature on Dre's up and coming album 'Detox'. This is gonna be huge! The 2 big guns of hip hop working on something contemporary and fresh, i love it. Cannot wait for the drop. Check out the 12sec snippet below if your excited like me lmao! I just wanna point out... Jay Z doesn't seem to age! Looks exactly the same as the day he dropped 'Reasonable Doubt'.

VIDEO: Nicki Minaj ft Sean Garrett - Massive Attack

I cant say im a fan of this song. I wouldn't have released it as my first single to be fair, she must have better material. The video is off the rails, so freaky. Love Amber Rose though, how thuggish did she look but in a hot bitch kinda way!! lol. Nicki got back-off though, jheeeezz!

VIDEO: Maear - I Am The Raver

I love this vid purely because it makes me laugh! The stick man stomping his foot to the beat... LMAO! I like the fact that they are bringing that painting with light into music video's. The animation could be better, making the video a little more interesting, but still, i watched it to the end so its not too bad!

I am seriously in love with this perfect sex creature LMAO!!! There should not be pictures released of Trey all wet and sweaty like this, i cant concentrate. Please click after the jump if you missed the spread, the photography is awesome!

Sabrina Washington goes solo

I wanna start by saying i really like Sabrina and i think a lot of the nation warmed to her when she appeared on 'Im a Celebrity get Me Out Of Here'... my brother in particular LOVED her! lol. Congrats to her for even having the courage to go solo and take things to another level. The music she's producing sounds very contemporary and that goes hand in hand with the concept and styling of the video. I have to touch upon a point that jumped out at me on first viewing... the styling is extremely GaGa no? And event he album title 'Dirty Pop' sounds very GaGa! Im happy that she's been inspired to be honest, but nobody can do GaGa like Gaga! G'luck Sabrina, i think your album will be successful to be fair!

Nicole Scherzinger on Dancing With The Stars

I dont think its very fair for Nicole to be on this show considering she is a professional singer and dancer!? But all that aside, girl has got moves!!!! lmao. The dance was so fast pace im feeling a little dizzy, but was so technically perfect im impressed!

Joss Stone ft Jamie Hartman - Stalemate

Joss Stone has always been up there with the fav's on my itunes playlist. The soul in her voice is just too much. This video was captured on Jay Leno Live last night, so im guessing this is her new single out. If you haven't got her album 'Color Me Free' go cop that, its amazing!

Diggy Simmons on 106 & Park

"They tellin Jay that he wouldn't touch the world like Pac

OOOWWWWW! This kid is absolutely killin it out there! He's so cool and calm, no nerves or nothing. And to flow like that, accapella freestyle, live!!! He got skills.

Adidas Forum Mid Comfort

Adidas has really been doing their thing lately, their releases are getting better and better. As KicksOnFire said "It looks like purple is the color of the day" and they're not wrong. Remember a few weeks ago i copped those all purple Supra's, Suede and Patent... well Adidas has come out with this comfy version of their Forum's, looks much more cushioned then usual and they have gone for the canvas/patent combo. The touch of white on the inner and the sole gives it that fresh look i always speak of! Im feeling these in a big way. Not more then my Supra's though! ;-D
