Men’s Manny Pacquiano Nike Trainer 1 :: Lights out

In honor of the stunning knockout Manny Pacquiano served Ricky Hatton this Spring, Nike proudly introduces another glow-in the dark shoe series.  Perfect for when the gym loses all power, I suppose.  I’m loving the concept behind it, and I’m definitely loving Pacquiano and can’t wait to see him knock Cotto the fuck out on [...]

Madonna + Lil Wayne :: Revolver (produced by Frank-E)

To be honest with you all, I’m not a huge post-Human Nature Madonna fan (the whole dominatrix latex thing was super hot in the late 1990′s, in my opinion), but throw in a dash of Lil Wayne and a strong production effort by Frank-E and all of a sudden, I want to get my material [...]

Jay-Z claims Billboard crown over Elvis, number chasing The Beatles

Releasing his 11th solo  full-length album On September 8th, 2009, Jay-Z has surpassed Elvis Presley as the artist who has had the most number 1 album in history (Jay’s 2007′s American Gangster tied Elvis‘s record).  Along with that, The Blueprint 3, selling an estimated 476,000 copies in its first week, is also bringing a bit [...]

TiRon :: Throwing My Money (video preview)

TiRon has been one of my favorite graduates of the class of 2009.  I’ve been steady bumpin ‘Ketchup‘ since it dropped earlier this year (mixed by one of my all-time favorite djs – Dj Low Key).  I’ve been really impressed with how much work a lot of independent cats have put into making quality music [...]

Women’s Puma Slipstream :: team violet / blue mist / black

I’m not sure how many more times I can express my absolute love (and borderline obsession) with all things furry & animal printed.  Add a hi-top in the mix and I’ve evolved into some sort of shoe zen state, full of awesome.  I’m feeling these throwback Puma Slipstream‘s something fierce, although I would have liked [...]

The price of being Internet famous – LA graffiti artist locked up after YouTube video

I think I’ve seen most of the War42 videos, which mainly center on members of a particular graffiti crew in LA.  This particular writer, Buket, found a bit of fame via YouTube, accumulating close to half a million views.  Buket, already on probation (32 counts of felony vandalism in December, 2008), landed himself in jail [...]

Kanye West + The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards + Twitter

I’m sure the Internet (as well as traditional media) is on fire right now in regards to Kanye West‘s unpredicted outburst during the Best Female Video award, knocking sweet little Taylor Swift on her ass and expressing his belief that Beyonce should have won the award (both videos and songs, in my opinion, are lackluster [...]

Lil Wayne + VH1 Behind the Music

Watch the full episode above. “If you understand me, you have the upper hand on me because I don’t understand me.” – Weezy. News broke earlier this week that Weezy had the most profitable touring season in 2009, which grossed over $42M in 2009.  His story, which is super compelling and also pretty rugged has [...]

LARD + Dj Amen :: Never Trust Robots

I always love and appreciate it when super talented people  join forces into one big superhuman transformer type entity – in this case, it’s my friends at LARD & one of the most cutting edge djs in my area code, Dj Amen.  This shit is sure to be on deck for my weekend playlist.  Plus, [...]

Last.fm :: top artists, end of summer edition

What can I say?  I have damn good taste in music, although I am rather surprised to see Drake on the top of the list as he hasn’t released anything new in a few months.  I think this is the first year ever that another artist has consistently knocked Jay out of the most listened [...]

8thW1 + Señor Kaos + Donwill (Tanya Morgan) :: Microphone Crushers

My dude Dj Low Key first turned me on to 8thW1 awhile back, and I think I rocked his previous mixtape, Crazy 8′s (mixed by Dj Get-Live, download here) for a solid month straight.  His next album, No Room for Dessert, will be his 8th collab with production duo 2 Hungry Bros. will be released [...]

Women’s Nike Dunk High 6.0 :: Blueprint / Light Pure Purple

Purple & magenta cheetah print hi-top Dunks!?  I’m so on this.  Kind of reminds me of the Flintstone joints from a few months ago. (via extrabutter)
