Get Hammered!

Home improvement time just got a hell of a lot more interesting. This is one of the coolest and most functional flasks we’ve ever come across. The Hammer Flask is actually a real hammer that’s been hollowed out, allowing for the storing and pouring of your favorite firewater. This covert tool is also great for crushing ice, opening bottles, and if need be, personal protection against abusive drunks.

JAY-Z RESIGNS FROM DEF JAM

“I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have served as President of such a culturally-defining label as Def Jam over the last three years,” Jay-Z said in a statement. “During that time, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many of the world’s most dynamic artists and many of the most dedicated and talented executives in the music business today, including Antonio “L.A.” Reid. But now it’s time for me to take on new challenges.”

Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, took over as President of Def Jam in 2005. Under his guidance, the rapper signed his former rival Nas to Def Jam and oversaw the release of hit records by Kanye West, Rihanna and Ne-Yo.

Island Def Jam Music Group Chairman Antonio “L.A.” Reid said that Jay-Z felt it was time to take on “different challenges in his life.”

Jay-Z will continue running and recording for his Roc-A-Fella imprint, which is distributed by the Island Def Jam Music Group. The mogul is rumored to be making a transition to the urban division of Sony Records with Rick Rubin.

New Years Eve

The rules to agreat new years..I will be poppin off in Libertyvillle @ Austins

10. Your party spot has to set the tone for the night. It creates the blueprint for the entire evening.
9. A great bartender. Bad drinks aren't sexy. Also, beautiful wait-staff are key.
8. Food should never interrupt your swagger. Small tapas or finger-foods that aren't too messy tend to work well.
7. Music should be the soundtrack to the night. It should match the theme; it should match the flow.
6. Preserve the sexy. My oldest and truest party rule. If it's about furs and diamonds, don't show up in jeans.
5. The right party people...your tried-and-true friends that know how to get your party started mixed with a few new characters to keep things exciting... but everyone has to be sexy.
4. You need a great pair of shades, because the best New Year's Eve party doesn't stop until well into the New Year.
3. You need a great host, like me. Someone who is a master in the art of celebration.
2. Make sure you have some great liquor...always looks good for the photos, Patreezy?
1. It's never sexy to be sloppy... know your limits and drink responsibly.

Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami

I have reported before about the Takashi Murakami exhibition at the Moma in Los Angeles, that is still going on until February 2008. For the occasion Louis Vuitton opened a temporary pop-up store in the museum and is selling a few items, only available at that store. The most interesting items are the coin case and the shopping bag, both coming in the classic Monogram design and with special Murakami artwork.

In case you do not have the chance to pass by the museum until February, then you can now also purchase the items at Cliff Edge...gonna cost ya a couple of coins lady, but its so dope

Supra Skylows - - Blk Denim/Red

We’ve seen a bunch of Skytops in the past few weeks, now Complex switches it up and shows us some upcoming Skylows. The Skylow is for the type of person who can’t pull over the super duper high Skytop, but still wants that Supra Muska look. These are by far one of the nicest colorways of the Skylow.

Ohh It Cant Be, Good Music My Grammy family

Despite recent personal crises for Kanye West and Amy Winehouse, today's Grammy nominations reflect 2007 as a fruitful year for their musical achievements.

Nominations were announced today in Los Angeles for the 50th Annual Grammy Awards and Kanye West lead the list of nominees with eight nods, while Amy Winehouse merited six.

Despite her struggles with her health issues and a rumored drug addiction, Amy Winehouse captured nominations in all four top Grammy categories: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year (a songwriter's award), and Best New Artist.

Kanye West's nominations dominate the Rap field, with nominations for the best Rap album and double nominations in the Best Rap Song category - with both "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and "Good Life" vying for the award. Graduation is also in competition with Amy Winehouse's Back To Black, the Foo Fighters' Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, Vince Gill's These Days and Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters in the Album of the Year race.

West and Winehouse were not the only artists with multiple nominations, five acts received five nods -- the Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, hip-hop producer Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and T-Pain.

The 50th Annual Grammy Awards will be handed out on February 10, 2008 at Los Angeles' Staples Center. For a full list of nominations visit grammy.com.

Pimp C Found Dead

Pimp C is on the left

It is with great sadness that Jive Records announces the passing of Chad “Pimp C” Butler, a member of the celebrated rap duo UGK (Underground Kingz). Jive Records’ President and CEO Barry Weiss states: “We mourn the unexpected loss of Chad. He was truly a thoughtful and kind-hearted person. He will be remembered for his talent and profound influence as a pioneer in bringing southern rap to the forefront. He will be missed and our prayers remain with his family and Bun B. I’ve known Chad since he was 18, and we loved him dearly and he was a cherished member of the Jive family.”

Born in Port Arthur, Texas, Butler’s father was a trumpet player who played professionally with Solomon Burke. Outside of his father, the 33-year old rapper’s influences varied, ranging from Bobby Bland, Jimmy McGriff, the 1960’s Motown artists to Run DMC. Butler met his inseparable partner Bernard “Bun B” Freeman in high school where they formed UGK. In 1992, the duo signed to Jive Records and went on release a total of eight albums for the label. They earned their highest achievement earlier this year when their most recent album, UGK (Underground Kingz), debuted in the number one position on the album pop chart. According to the New York Times, UGK “helped inspire a generation of Southern hip-hop stars, from OutKast to Lil Wayne.”

Almost every brand includes the shirts in their collections. But that's not all. We have seen it on Nike, Alife shoes, Ubiq shoes, Porter and Burton bags and on many other products as well. Last but not least Kidrobot now also released their plaid series. They have released a hoodie and also two t-shirts.

Nabaztag By Andre

Just in case you have not come cross it yet, Nabaztag is an electronic rabbit, that can be connected to your computer and the internet. People that have a Nabaztag can receive messages send to the rabbit, read them out loud, etc. Also you can configure the rabbit to light up when you get emails, IM's or anything else.

Just in time for Christmas, they launched a new limited edition version of Nabaztag, designed by Parisian artist André. The rabbit got a classic, simplistic André make-over. The Nabaztag by André is now available online.

Your Tax Dollars Hard At Work

I wanna say i know for the most part police officers do their job and do it well...one of my best friends is a police officer, but c'mon this is messed up and things like this happen far to often. The cop turns into a cowboy simply because the man didn't sign his ticket. The officer simply could have marked it "refused to sign" handed it back and its over.
