Really dope video.

Gotta salute this dude.

The Moonman award is synonymous to the VMAs for the last three decades, how does it feel given the chance to iterate the iconic trophy?

It’s a great opportunity. I’m happy that MTV reached out to me, it’s truly an honor. They were also sort of doing it in my neighborhood, and to be able to be the artist that redesigns the stage and iconic award is a lot of fun. We have a place three blocks from here in Brooklyn and then my studio is in Williamsburg.

"I'll be out trying to get a sandwich or something and the guy will say to me, 'I'd give you a free drink with that, but you know, no new friends,'" Drake says with a laugh. "I swear I'm not sitting around going, 'What's the new meme going to be?' But I do spend a lot of time when I'm writing, especially lately, trying to make something for people to live by. I'm trying to make anthems that are empowering to people, to find phrases that I haven't heard before. I'm not just going to sit here and be like, 'Fuckin' bitches, getting money!'"

So for y'all keeping count. That's the 30 million dollar deal with Samsung to put out the album, premiering the Picasso Baby video on HBO, becoming the first major artist to premiere a video on Facebook for Holy Grail, and now the documentary to his festival premieres on Showtime. Corporations, dog. At a guy from Marcy Projects disposal.

I fuck with Rocky, and these are crazy. Coming soon.

Shit hard. Produced by Swizz Beatz.
 

Dope ass video. Masterfully directed by Anthony Mandler.

*The guys make some history too

One of the most anticipated films this year in my opinion.

Imagine a world where a guy can make $12 million in three minutes, where blow jobs are a perk of the gig, dwarfs are tossed to raise employee morale, and inhaling anthills of coke, Scarface style, is encouraged. Now imagine a world where a studio would pass on a movie with a subject that titillating, even if it came tied in a ­Leonardo DiCaprio–and–Martin Scorsese bow. That’s the way things were looking back in 2008, when Warner Bros. dropped out of Scorsese and DiCaprio’s upcoming black comedy The Wolf of Wall Street. The two went on to make Shutter Island, then separated for other projects. But when a window in Scorsese’s schedule opened up in 2012, DiCaprio approached the ­director again. “I told Marty, ‘I don’t think we’ll be able to do a movie like this too many times in the future,’ ” says DiCaprio. “Larger-scale, R-rated dramas, like Blood Diamond or The Departed, don’t really get financed anymore.”

This is all over the place. Album will probably be insane though. Executive produced by Dr. Dre and Rick Rubin itself is just an incredible thing. MMLP2 drops November 5th. Go to Eminem.com for more info.

Maybe you caught the meaning of this, maybe you chalked it up to a mediocre Kanye performance and didn't think twice about it. Your loss. The point to me is, the guy could've performed without a care in the world like the thousand's of acts before him. Except he's really about something.

Fall's coming. I love these.

Great fucking record already, but the R&B legend just puts that extra splash on it.



Official video for the song is incredible btw, watch here

Got to playing a bunch of cuts off this and it sounded pretty interesting.

Drops officially on August 20th, but you can listen to joints here.

I can't call it.

My guy put out a preview of a new print he's working on. Shout to Billick one time.

Fuck whatever you saying. Bad Boy forever.

Twerk Miley, Miley.

My guy Buddhatron put us on to the natural phenomenon that is "camera obscura" and I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. This shit was so incredible. It's one of those things you can do with little to no money, that just makes life that much better. Every poor kid everywhere should know about this.

This bitch is insane.

Beautifully shot and quite possibly really weird.

Up late I know. This premiered directly after a Bill Maher interview in which Jay talked new album lyrics, politics, and people in America. Nah has the video here.

The ever beautiful.

Probably one of the most prolific and fearless artists of our time. One of my favorites. This was an interesting article.

I've liked this since the first time I heard it.

They killed these. Really interesting. Possibly a little skater sneaker'ish but still great.

$515 here.

About halfway through this and there's a lot of truth to what's being said. If you create, or you're interested in some of the struggles creators have to deal with, watch this thing. Always nice to know you're not going completely crazy.

"The commercial work pays for our art."

There doesn't really seem to be much information out about this besides the fact it's a thirty-minute film that's to be released soon. What intrigues me is a couple of these names attached. The Del Rey/Mandler/Rubin thing specifically.

Forgot to post this last week. How your man kill a verse without actually having to record anything? Smh.

Extended family shit. Looking ill.

Chainz stays with the dope album covers. New work drops September 10th.

Happy to see the kid Joe Perez who's doing most of the design work for DONDA finally get his shine.

Better than the Vulture article I might add.

You may or may not fuck with this. It's cool.

Nothing Was The Same dropping September 17th.

I fuck with these. The silhouette kind of reminds me of another sneaker I like but the reds going on here are great.

Dropping August 10th.

Dred's favorite rapper (Not actually). Shot really well. No one actually knows what it is though.

AMK just put me on to Shortie's instagram. Her twitter is great too.

At just 22, Mellany Sanchez has worked her way up from stock rooms and sales floors to her current position as a Creative Director for Kith NYC. Don’t get it twisted, she didn’t get here overnight. The first lady of Kith has been grinding at some of the hottest thread and kick spots since she was 15. This young blood could be mistaken for an OG in the game; it’s scary to think Sanchez has yet to reach the pinnacle of her career. The future couldn’t be brighter for the soon-to-be NYU grad.
