Stronger Video
Ok this one is crazy!!! Akira chopped up 2 Stronger! Keep in mind these are not "real videos". Derrick Lee (the editor from Flashing Lights) edited all of these in 3 days! Good Morning was very minimal and this one is the total opposite.

Good Morning...
If anybody experienced or heard about the legendary Kanye West-Graduation release party held last summer in New York, here are the videos Derrick and Kanye designed exclusively for the event. They did 7 and the rest of the songs were done with lighting. There's no video of the light show. I'ma start with Good Morning 2001 and hit you with another vid every couple days..... sidebar, don't worry the Murakami vid will be officially released in due time.

Next time you’re at the club popping bottles, just know that you aren’t really balling.
The new edition of Perrier-Jouet champagne, which went on sale this week, will likely be the subject of countless future rap songs with its record-breaking price and exclusivity. It’s being sold only in 12-bottle box sets, each of which carries a price tag of around $77,000. Every potential customer is required to travel to France to meet one-on-one with their cellar master, who will top off each bottle with a personalized “liqueur.” I'm awaiting Hova’s taste-test

F Death
I don't know why but I def think this is a dope concept....The Original Fake website has been updated with a new graphic of the KAWS Companion in the missionary position with the Grim Weeper. This artwork by the artist KAWS most likely has the hidden meaning "Fuck Death". This interesting graphic will be used on an upcoming t-shirt from KAWS' brand, Original Fake. Look for this tee to drop at Original Fake in Japan or at Original Fake dealers.

Portishead Coming Soon
Yes, it seems everyone’s favorite moody trip-hop group is officially back.
After a nearly decade-long hiatus, Portishead is currently prepping their third studio album, Third, for release on April 28. The trio from Bristol just leaked the album’s first music video for “Machine Gun,” and its grainy, security camera-esque visuals definitely match the song’s cold, industrial feel.

New Bapestas
Here you see the latest Bapesta sneaker from Bape. This time they combines two popular patterns, dots and stripes. They released the "Dot Stripe" Bapestas in overall four colorways - silver/gold, gold/silver, black/silver and black/gold. These are now available at Cliff Edge.
Snowboarding Swag...Burton x NoPattern/Chuck Anderson - '09 Light Camo Jacket
Here is an interesting new jacket that Chuck Anderson of NoPattern designed for Burtons 2009 collection - the Light Camo Jacket. It features an all-over design similar to the works we are used to see from the designer/artist.
That's what's so dope about designing for a snowboard company - it might be a little crazy to wear every day, but it's just fine to wear it while boarding. The jacket will not come out for a while, so keep an eye out later this year. You might see me finally snowboarding...highly doubt it

Throw Back Thursday...
Couple of traks got a lot of burn this week on my i-pod, couldnt choose just 1...
Cool Breeze-Watch For The Hook
Dude from ATL...this song was nuts, didn't get enough credit when it dropped in 99. Back with Andre 3000 was killing it but Big Boi's guest verse was the dopest
De La Soul-Oooh
This track kicked off the summer of 2000 and you gotta love the Dave Chappelle cameo before 90% of the world knew who he was...
Ja Rule-Down 4 U
Irv Gotti used to come up with some crazy beats...Ima admit I thought all of Ja's crooning tracks were pretty nice from like 2000-02 and yeah G-Unit def murked him out the game but I still like throwing this on, mad catchy
Talib Kweli-Waiting For The DJ
2002...feel good track, this song and Lucy Pearl's "Dance Tonight" always put me in a house party mood.

Beast Of The East
Just picked up my copy of He Got Game finally...always dependant of Hammer's back in the day and it made me think of this....
One of my favorite Denzel Washington movie scenes ever is in He Got Game, when Denzel’s character is accosting Rosario Dawson and some lame tries to intervene (start from 1:40).Now that’s how you shut someone the f up. Funny enough, Jesus Shuttlesworth (a.k.a. Ray Allen) pulled off a similar move on Rip Hamilton last week during the Celtics’ win over the Pistons (clip here). Sure, it was Ray Ray’s elbow, not an open hand, but the effect was all the same. Gully.

Keeping The Peace With A Scarf
Time to move on guys, we know the reason that you wear a shemagh is because it’s cheap, washable and makes you look like a cultured artiste/freedom fighter. And you’re kinda right. But now that the trend has reached critical mass (you can thank Kanye and Lupe) and there are bright purple versions being sold on Broadway, you could end up looking more like a conformist than a leader.
If you’re going to do it, at least come correct by copping a scarf from A Peace Treaty. The name of the brand is no gimmick—the handcrafted scarves were created by a Pakistan Muslim and Libyan Jew coming together for the sake of fashion. As long as it’s about high quality, we’re down to give peace a chance.

Five For Friday
Here's some new jams to downloand before you head to spring break, sitting at work and need new ish on the i-pod, or if you're like Heidi you put songs on your 1988 boombox and have dance contests versus your alter ego...its been a long time, I shouldn't have left you without some dope beats to step to
#5 Snoop Dogg Feat Too Short & Mistah F.A.B-Life Of The Party
These are the kinda beats that Snoop needs to be on. Snoop has admitted that he isn't penning much of his rhymes on this cd which is supposed to be the biggest sin in hip-hop but I really don't care Snoop has paid his dues...this trak is def nice
#4 N.E.R.D-Everyone Nose
I am pretty sure this already made one of my 5 for Fridays but whatever. This is one of the dopest traks i have heard in a minute. Pharrell is comign strong, Chad is back in teh studio. I have a feeling this is going to be the summer album that catches people by suprise. Lovin the tracks not so subtle refrence to doing coke and the beat is crazy. Did anyone see Pharrell's spaz dance at the BET Rip the Runway? Dude somehow always makes it work...def excited to see em in a couple weeks in concert.
#3 Gnarls Barkley-Going On
Any other week this would have easily been #1. Run has been a top 5 favorite track so far in 08 and did anyone see the video? It was bananas and well they are banning from TV because it may cause seizures? Haha wtf? Gnarls Barkley's new cd is def better than St Elsewhere which was almost a classic as well.
#2 Rick Ross Feat Jay-Z-Maybach Music
PSA I am not a huge Rick Ross fan at all, I like Hustlin & Blow off his last effort but i thought the rest was garbage. So far he has released Speedin & The Boss for his new cd and both have gotten constant burn from me. Then on Monday I get this track Luxury Tax where Wayne and everyone kills it. Here is the 4th track I have heard off the album and it's not a club anthem, no gimmick ringtone ish. Just some rela hip-hop and they both kill their verses. Life's a bitch so the whole world is miiiine. Just gave Ross' whole cd a listen today, it is def a solid album, watch for it.
#1 Madonna Feat Justin Timberlake-4 Minutes
So I knew for the past year that Madonna has been in England recording exclusively with Timbo & Danja as well is the Neptunes (from what I hear there will be 12 traks 7 Neptunes/5 Timbo/Danja) and I have to admit I wasn't sure how this would really work. This is the 1st song I have heard from the project and I must say Madonna is still coller than me, not that that takes a whole lot but she is like 45. The beat is crazy...expect a very club influnced album with the best producers from VA handling their business. Oh yeah Kanye will be doing a guess spot on "Beat Goes On"
#5 Snoop Dogg Feat Too Short & Mistah F.A.B-Life Of The Party
These are the kinda beats that Snoop needs to be on. Snoop has admitted that he isn't penning much of his rhymes on this cd which is supposed to be the biggest sin in hip-hop but I really don't care Snoop has paid his dues...this trak is def nice

Daily Swagger
Nike tries to nail a wing-tip shoe and a premium dunk fusion, so you can nail the prom queen. These patent-leather lows feature the design you’d see on a casual wing-tip shoe and come in two colorways. They’ve hit Japanese online dealers already, no word on an U.S release date yet.

Maff Apartment is a "bed & breakfast" located on the third floor in the attic of a private house in The Hague. This really is a cool concept...

Hermes x Bugatti Veyron FBG
The Bugatti Veyron is considered one of the world's fastest production cars with a 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 253mph. So what happens when you let one of the world's top fashion house design this amazing car? The result - a Hermes x Bugatti Veyron FBG which not only blows your mind but also blows your wallet. On March 4th, this Hermes x Bugatti Veyron FBG was unveiled at the Geneva Motor show. This supercar features a classy maroon exterior and a matching interior. It also comes with a special edition Hermes branded 22 inch wheels and fuel-filler cap. Price tag - 1.55 Euros.
Hollyweerd-Weerdo
Song is ridiculous...Ima finally do a 5 for Friday this week and this might easily crack the top 5 (I try and save them for the list but you gotta be on this asap)
Kanye X Nike Update?
Kanye has whipped the sneaker-nerds and myself into a frenzy ever since he hit the Grammy stage with these mystery Nikes. In a recent interview with the NY Times’ The Moment, ‘Ye made a quick mention about the ambiguous sneakers, simply saying “ I can’t talk about them because they’re not out yet.” It’s no secret that Nike gave Kanye a shoe, but giving him his own silhouette? Damnnnnnn—Word to Jeezy. We’ll keep you updated as we get more information about these 1 of 1s.

Had my music on random this came on...forgot how nuts the beat was and how nice DMX could be when he was on point
Luxury Tax
This has been my jam of the weekend...Wayne kills hit, not a huge fan of Rick Ross but Trilla is shapping up to be fairly solid, Maybach Music with Jay-Z is legit as well and his new single "The Boss" is kinda nice as well although I hate the video
Famous Stars & Straps Angel Tee
Ima big fan of red and white (PC what?) and I thought this is one of the dopest tee's I had seen in a minute outside Stussy's new line...coudlnt find a good pic online so I used my own tee.
Daily Swagger
Supra is killing the sneaker game in 08
Supra’s “NS” offers premium footwear with made for style and not skate purposes. With the black Trinity’s setting the internet ablaze, we now see the more spring/summer friendly white-colorup. Crackled leather and croc-skin soop-up the uppers, and the presence of a strap ensures a tight fit. No more description needed, it’s the summer of white (right Jeezy?), stay focused.
Wait A Minute...
Saw a Ray J vid Fri Night...not the one with KK although Ima fan haha
