Fall Back!
He recently formed a new side project group with Philly singer Res called Idle Warship, and they’ve recorded a track called “Fall Back” with Star Trak’s Chester French. The song is a response to Hillary Clinton’s insistence on staying in the Democratic primary race, even when it’s mathematically impossible for her to surpass Obama. Listen to the song and watch accompanying Clinton-filled web video.

Want to know why Y-3 stays winning? No it’s not because the hype kids are buzzing, it’s not because rappers are rockin them in their videos, and it’s definitely not because they’re cheap and easy to get. The reason the high-fashion brand (that happens to do footwear) stays in check is because Yohji and his crew put that work in with every new seasonal drop. This Hayworth II Mid, the follow-up to the brand’s most recognizable silhouette drops July 15th, and is upgraded with a strap for staying tight while looking tight. Coolest shoes of the summer? We wouldn’t be shocked.
$270, Y-3 Store, NYC.
My Birthday Is 2 Months Away...

New Blackberry 9000
The latest Crackberry to join the family was recently unveiled. Among the leaders in PDA phones, the code named 9000 was officially bestowed the some what cheesy name Bold. Nomenclature aside, the Blackberry Bold enjoys a well deserved upgrade as the first major BB release in two years. The aesthetics are relatively the same, keeping that distinct BB look stressing what most business users will confirm, usability. The development of a new software platform goes hand in hand with the obvious hardware improvements such as HSPDA, Wifi, 625MHz CPU, 1GB internal flash memory and expandable storage up to 16 GB. While unsure of how many people defected from Blackberry to the iPhone, for those looking to return to the goodness of a solid keyboard, a new king has emerged.

Weezer-Pork & Beans
Good Looks Zums, still bumpin this...
It's been a long time since River Cuomo first put on that yellow cardigan and horn rimmed glasses and performed on the virtual "Happy Days" set. It's been even longer since he and his band Weezer were considered the kings of nerd rock. Time has passed, so has fickle tastes and seemingly so did Cuomo's anger and despair lyrically. This fact was obviously not lost on Weezer's record company who were reportedly very upset at the first version of Weezer's self titled album that they turned in. They told the band that they needed a single and couldn't find one amongst the mostly guitar driven art pop. Upset and distraught, Cuomo's went home and penned an angry response which culminated into their first single "Pork and Beans".
The first most noticeable thing about the new single "Pork and Beans" is that it sounds very familiar. So familiar that it could have actually come from Weezer's mid 90’s material rather than their newer sound. Everything about it screams "The Blue Album". The riff is catchy yet weird and quirky. The bass line is a deep grove with a sharp banjo twang every few bars. Cuomo sings off pitch, yet completely on melody, about not conforming to rules. However, it's not done in a snobby rock star way that has total disdain for the mainstream. Weezer has always had a way of showing their dissatisfaction in a charismatic way. Even the line "Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the chart/ maybe if I work with him, I can perfect the art" seems more tongue in cheek than an actual diss. In an attempt to make a song about refusing to write a hit, it surely sounds like Weezer has another one.
Pastelle x Ksubi Sunglasses
Pastelle, the much much anticipated clothing label from Kanye West, has been very discreet. But finally, now we get glimpse of its sunglass collaboration with Ksubi, an Australian fashion label known amongst many celebrities. Ksubi designer, George Gorrow, first worked with Kanye in 2006 to create stage eyewear for his music videos. The line will be launched in October and will feature a limited edition gold frame sunglasses that will go for around $2000.
This is definitely a collaboration worth waiting for, as it seems like Kanye and George Gorrow make for a strong team as Kanye says, "I love the sunnies Ksubi has produced over the years, and it's an honour to collaborate with them on this first installment of Pastelle frames, George is an incredibly talented designer, and I've never met anyone who knew more about sunglasses and other cool stuff."
Note I do not believe these are the glasses in the pic...just a heads up
Daily Swagger
Nothing says “Big Pimpin’” better than a pair of boat shoes. Instead of jacking Jay-Z’s mandal style, your best bet during the summer months is a pair of Top-Siders. They’re lighter than sneakers, and have a look that straddles the line between casual and fancy. Just helping ya'll out...get right for the summer, I dont know about these pair but I think I've pointed you in the right direction
Im So Hooood

Ive Been Greedy...Young Jeezy Feat Kanye-Put On
Got this joint on Saturday and it has seriously got my hyped, the creative juices flowing again...enough about me, this song is supposed to be the 1st single off Jeezy's new album out late summer. Kanye kills the autotune verse. Guess Jeezy realizes he messed up when he passed up on the Cant Tell Me Nothing beat which was originally supposed to be his I Got Money Remix...Toomp what it do?

Nike Air Jordan Fusion V Grey Nurse
Legendary Nike designer, Tinker Hatfield, responsible for the majority of Michael Jordan's most popular signature sneakers has succeeded throughout the years not only based on immense talent but an extraordinary imagination as well. The original Jordan V design was inspired by the P-51 Mustang, a WWII fighter plane used by the Tuskegee Airmen combined with a rendering of a Grey Nurse Shark on the midsole. Keeping this theme alive, strong military colors are featured included with the addition of shark eyes and the initials MJJ on the side standing for Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Surely to be a collectors item in the future, these are now available at Jordan Flight Club with a price of $175
