Rapper's Wives - VH1 Special

I peeped this today on a passing blog and thought u guys might be interested. Quite funny!

Fabolous ft The Dream - Throw it in the bag

I like this track but i like the effort that has gone into the video more so. I quite like the linear narrative videos Fab is releases at present... i think they all fit together like a film eventually? is that the aim? feeling it never the less.

I dont believe i have uploaded this one for you in my past blogs so grab it (here)

Fabolous ft Jeremih - It's My Time

BIG TRACK!I brought this to you a few weeks ago here on the blog, now Fab's videos are starting to roll off of the back of his Loso's Way filming. I like this tune but i love the Ryan Leslie collab at the end more!

Big up Fab and Ryan on this one!

Eminem v Amy Winehouse

Supreme Malcolm McLaren Vans V-79

Supreme V-79's

Malcom Mclaren founder/manager of the Sex Pistols has teamed up with Supreme to put together a small collection of products. These sneaks are a few things recently produced. I particularly like the color-way of the yellow ones which drew me in initially! I would definitely rock these... but i think i would stash them away for the winter not the summer strangely enough! ;)

Maestro really does Know Best..

Maestro Knows - Episode 10 (Las Vegas) from Maestro Knows on Vimeo.

WTF?!?! Maestro is NOT backstage in Vegas with Oceans 7!!! this guy is a Geeeeeeee BABAY! i thought episode 9 was the ONE, with TK, but this one is crackin with Nelly freestyling in an elevator! HA, deep. 

Mr Hudson - Concert footage - Oxford O2 Academy

Mr Hudson - Supernova from Roy Thomas on Vimeo.

My favorite song off of the up and coming Mr.Hudson  album. Check out some footage i snagged from Roy's Place, sounds incredible! i think i need to see him live, its the only way forward! The album drops August 3rd 'Straight No Chasers', when i cop that ill include you! 

Clipse ft KanYe West - Kinda Like A Big Deal Video Shoot

The Clips & Ye - Kinda Like A Big Deal Video Shoot

This track is nuts! i love it. i dropped this for you a few months back courtesy of Roy if you havent heard it check it here. Thanks to missinfo we got a little inside scoop on the up and coming video! looks aaaaiiight!

Juelz Santana - Days of Our Lives

Juelz Santana - Santanuary

So Juelz has been a little low key apart from jumpin off in NYC for the Summer Jam, but as for track releases, its only this year he has come back with a kick! His album 'Santanuary' is sounding quite alright which leads me to believe that Cam'ron wasn't the be all and end all of Dipset! A track im feeling at the mo is 'Days of Our Lives'. It has a nice beat to it and is a well rounded tune. It lacks something... not sure what! but still worthy of a post, so here u go...

Supra TK Society Tour

Meet Ben Baller...

This guy keeps me updated on all things fresh and sneakerfied! So most recently he went on tour with the TK Society promoting the new joints for Supra. The tour looks sick, so peep the pics on Baller's page. They released some new color-ways and these Blue on Black joints look crazy. Im guessing these are a one off just for baller. From his blog you will recognize him as a sneaker designer... he designs exclusives for the celebs, SO in collaboration with Terry Kennedy the TK's were developed. This guy is a true genius in trainer development and aesthetic design.

TK and Ben Baller in ATL showing off the new joints i love so dearly..

TK and Ben Baller in NYC.

To catch the full rundown of events from the tour, check out Ben Baller's blog.

Nike Gladiateur for women

Ladiiieeeeess.... what are we thinking of these!? I LOVE the white ones! i think they are so different, summery, edgy and stylish! im not over excited about the black ones, but the white and gold are saucy! I love the gold detail inside and the simple light gold used for the tick. I also like the height and the boxer boot feel they have to them, with the thin laces. These are already sold out and im not sure where else i could get them apart from Colette.

Any ideas?

Kanye Medly - by David Sides

This was posted on facebook and i cant believe i havent peeped it before! This guy is crazy, got MAD talent! Check out some of his other stuff on his YouTube page. One of my favorites is Lil' Waynes - Lollipop, that sounds nice! Anyway so go have a look, we appreciate good music right?! He also has an album on itunes!

Guys please check out this blog Asa Wilkman. She is an Animator and Illustrator and an old friend of mine. Her stuff is so witty and well designed, i might buy a few paintings myself! I have included some of the designs above, the first few i came across on the blog, and i was cracking up at the short but sweet wit that is portrayed.

Who's Hungry - Short Animated Film

Who's Hungry - By David Ochs

I have studied animation for 4 years and i am about to graduate... for this guy to be in his first year at CalArts, i am extremely impressed! Some of the best hand drawn stuff iv seen. Nice concept too, kinda funny and eery at the same time!

Nike Air Yeezy Tee

Nike NZ - 'WHERE ARE YOU YEEZY?' range

What are we thinking of the Air Yeezy glow in the dark tee's? Im feeling these in a big way... i probably wouldnt wear it but im appreciating the creativeness and design/production that has gone into this idea. One of my buddy's studies at The Royal College of Fashion here in London and recently she has been working on a project involving glow in the dark materials just like this one. If we look closely, we will see that there isnt an extra layer of glow in the dark material on the t-shirt, the print is actually in the cotton, which is an extremely hard process and a difficult aspect to achieve. It therefore successfully gives the effect that without darkness you would never guess it was there!

DEEP! i actually love it.. and maybe would wear it! i would like to see more color-ways, but like i said... difficult process, subsequently comes with limitations.

Angie interviews Lala Vazquez

Love Angie, Love Lala... cool interview!

Kid Cudi Covered by Little Boots

Kid Cudi's Day'n'Night - Covered by Little Boots

I like this better then the original... the original got old pretty quick, but i think this version could possibly be timeless?

Converse All Stars

Converse All Stars - Poormans Weapon Hi

Undefeated Collabo

These are crazy! Thanks Maestro for hooking me up with these images. I love these. the orange and the green just look crazy together! and im glad they went with green laces and not orange. The inscription on the tongue tag is hilarious coz who ever reads that unless your looking for sizes?! haha. Just adds to the charm.

Nike Burger Sneaker

Saw this and had to blog it for y'all! Nice work. Art at its most creative...

Lebron James Nike Basketball Ad

Nike Basketball: Witness - Lebron James

This is for all you Basketball fans out there that have been going CRAZY on Twitter this week at all the playoffs going on. So thought i'd give you a little flavor that i came across.

MVP Chalk

hahaha!

Nike Air Max - Nort Berlin

Nike Air Max Light - Nort Berlin

These debuted in 1989 as Air Max II ... being one of Nike's first sneakers to sport the visible Air-sole. They have now collaborated with Air Max Light to create more vibrant and memorable color-ways.

I don't know why, but i am extremely attracted to these! Air Max aren't really my flavor these days, i think these caught my eye because of the particular color-way they have dropped. I really like the red bottom sole with the most part white! Thats neat. And the small use of the yellow, especially in the visible Air-sole... i think i really love these actually! HA. The more i stare at them, the more i like.

What do you think?!?!

Drake - Drought is Over Mixtape

So i snagged this from Ye's blog! i think you can understand im a little shocked to see this as Drake is dropping tracks like DAILY! and to just do a quick 1-2 and put out almost half an album on a mixtape is nuts! The tracks are decent, not polished, but still good. My favorite is 'What I'm thinking Right Now'. love this one as it has a laid back beat and obviously Drakes flow just goes hand in hand. The beat has a little edge to it too, definitely check it!

Supra TK Society

Aight so what do we think guys? The Terry Kennedy grey patent joint has finally hit the shops and i actually think i'm loving these. The double strap is weird but funnily attractive. I don't think i would have them strapped up tho, but they look cool, allowing the height of the extreme high top to be appealing. I think the grey patent only really works because of the height, i don't think it would look quite as good in the Skytop version. These are quite boyish, so i personally wouldn't wear them, but i can always appreciate great kicks, for men or women. All you skate-boarders are gonna be looking fresh this summer though!

What do you think?

Whilst posting today, i came across these Supra Knockoffs by Levi! i was so shocked. i think you have to see it to believe how similar they are, so i have posted images just for that reason...

They look a lot shitter, so i know you real sneaker fans wont be fooled! but WOW!

Drake performing in Chi town

Iv never seen a fight break out at a concert before! i think it would be my worst nightware quite frankly! Drake looks like he about to hold his own tho! DAYMN!

Shout out to F2DLife for the concert footage! cant wait to see him live.

Haha, just peeped these on Frank Liew's Blog! Kinda funny. He noticed that his new Jordan's Jumpman had a J.Lo ass and so he thought he'd share it with us! LOL

D-Block ft S.I - Get That Paper

The beat on this is nice. I could just listen to the instrumental. Its the first single off D-Block's new album 'No Security' released June 9th. Big tune for the summer me thinks, like most D-Block tracks!

Twista - Wetter (Get it Wet pt.2)

I like this track... lyrics are a bit crude, but the beat is mellow. Nice background or cruise control music.

Ocean's 7 ft. Bow Wow- So Much Swag

Ocean 7's Mixtape released soon, sometime this year.

Some of the tracks sound pretty good. Heres one of the fav's of what iv heard...

My baby Trey Songz does me proud, and Bow Wows flow is kinda fly on this one...

Jay Z ft NeYo - Minority Report

This is one of my favorite Jay Z tracks to date. I say 'one of' because i don't particularly love it for the beat or the flow, but more so for the lyrics and the subject. The lyrics are deep which makes this track one of the most important he has made. Don't get me wrong, i do like the beat but thats not why its one of my fav's. You can tell its a Dre beat from the get go.. kinda how u can just tell a Kanye beat is a Kanye beat.

Anyway, i did a short animation reflecting destruction in our world and Hurricane Katrina came up. So i did a bit of research and what Jay Z mentions in this track is just a fraction of the way those people were treated. The news footage at the beginning of the song is all real .

One of the dvd's i used for research was Spike Lee's "When the Levees Broke (A Requiem in 4 parts)".. if you haven't seen it you need to go cop that. Amazing... one of the best documentaries i have seen.

Jay Z ft NeYo - Minority Report

Lyrics

"People was poor before the Hurricane came

But the down pour poured is like when Mary J sang

Every day it rains, so every day the pain

But ignored them, and showed em the risk was to blame

...

Wouldnt you loot if you didnt have the loot

Baby needed foor and you stuck on the roof

Helicopter swooped down just to get a scoop

Through his telecopic lens but he didnt scoop you"

Check out the MTV video clip below.

Asher Roth & The Roots - By Myself LIVE

This guy is insane! i love his stuff and im follwing him on Twitter so i knew when this performance was about to air! Nice work Ash.

Eminem - Bonus Tracks

I have 2 tracks for y'all from Eminem's Relapse album, they are the Bonus tracks. I like both of them. 'Darling' is a bit dark like his recent stuff, but 'Careful what you wish for' has remnants of his earlier stuff, so i like the flow much more.

Supra Fall releases 2009

What do you guys think of these up and coming releases?

Chanel Fast Food

NICE! my diet starts today!

Beyonce - Thundercats

Click here for enlarged image

O shoot, guys, check this shit out! Artist: Beyonce, Designer: Thierry Mugler, Outcome: OFF THE SHEEEEZY! This is so original right now and so relevant to our age group that it is just outstanding. I think you can guess i was and still am a Thundercats Fan. But im also a Beyonce fan (May 26th O2 Arena Concert ticket:: check), so putting the two together and coming up with the fierce masterpiece was complete genius.

Nice work. Game recognizes game, and i think im definitely recognizing!!

Eminem freestyle with Tim Westwood in UK

Eminems press run in UK has come to a head, but before he jetted he layed this Freestyle down with Westwood. Its nuts how lyrics can just flow so quickly from someones mind to their tongue in fractions of seconds! and make it sound good too!!! LOL. i respect him and all that he does (rap wise). Props...

Angie Martinez interviews Ciara

Angie interviews one of our fav performers, Ciara, on Hot 97. If you havent been keeping up with Ciara on twitter, it was leaked and so she had to admit that her and JayZ are gonna be doing a mini 10 city Tour. I would love to know where and when?!?!

Supra Skytops - Green/White

Terry Kennedy sporting the soon to be released Green and White Supra Skytops. These are kinda fierce, im feeling the minimal white they have used on the sole, with the signature Supra stripes. These arent due for release until May 17th, i think they will be a hit, Factory 413 is gonna get swarmed!

Nike Blazer - Checker

These are the new Blazers, white on white color-way with a checker design. Very new, very unique. To me it looks like Satin, but apparently its all leather, so im not quite sure how they would look in reality, but they looking TIGHT on the screen. They also be sporting the white classic vulcanized sole, which gives it an edgier feel (kinda reminiscent of adidas) but im not hating. Im feeling these a lot for this up and coming summer..

The Game - Bang Along

Iv had this track for a while now and was contemplating uploading it or not. Decided to do it, you guys can decide if you like it or not. I like the sample he's rapping over, the lyrics are cool too.

Get it (here)

Page ft Drake - Still Fly

This track is poppin! i like it and i like the attempt at the animation on the vid... nice design/style. Im so obsessed with Drake right now, its his parts that draw me to the track.

All in all i think i'll put it on the iPod...

Triumvir - Fuck off Tee

I like this tee. Up close its just a metal bar (rockstar studs). If you catch it at the 'wrong' angle however, you know what to do! lol.

It comes in different color-ways too, i've seen white and black so far.

Nice. Check out other ranges Triumvir  are sporting at the moment at their online store...

Nike Vandal's Low - Tortoise Shell

Check out these new release sneaks i peeped today... they are the new women's Vandal.  I like the new concepts Nike are integrating into their shoes right now and these are special. I think i like them more as i have accessories i could actually rock with them as someone made me a tortoise shell bracelet when i was in St.Lucia. I like this color-way aswel, especially with the white laces, makes them look fresh.

What do you guys think?..

Trey Songz - First Date Sex

If you remember i posted the original track about a week ago... 'Birthday Sex' by Jeremih. This is an extended version of that. Its really just a free style, but Songz smooth voice makes it sound like a tune!

Drake - Take You Down

This guy keeps bringing more and more flavor to the streets! heres a new remix of Chris Browns 'Take You Down'. Its a nice take on the track, you have to listen to it to really comment. I can say one thing though, i think im in lurrrrvv! Ha

Reminds me of Julian Beever's pavement drawings.

Nice work.

Late Show - Keri Hilson Live

I snagged this vid from Ye's blog, i love it!! firstly the track sounds SERIOUS! sounds like a rock version, electric guitar kinda feel! i think its coz its live it gives that effect! And i also like the choreography, all the slow motion moves, its not too over done, i know how on a fast track like this there could have been many fast choreographed ideas, but this decision was a good one.

She looks nuts aswel, with the outfit and hair! ha. Im liking Miss Keri right now!

Nike Sweet Classic High

IM BACK BABAAAAYYY!

i have been away for a while doing some animation work, which is extremely time consuming, hence no time for blogging! But im back now and have come across these spanking pair of Classics. They are so bold, i love how simple they are. I am definitely purchasing a pair for my feet, i feel they need this sort of treatment right now!
