URNEWYORK x Hot Mop Films Graff Truck April 2011


I love these. Huge shout my brothers at URNEWYORK. I'm never around when they film these outings with Dred and then I see the visuals and I'm super jealous I wasn't there, haha. This one came out really sick. Me and the boys actually have a collaboration project in the works. A couple as a matter of fact. I'm heading to the Brooklyn mansion tomorrow for the first installment and from there we're gonna hash out details of some other stuff. Hopefully you'll soon see what I mean...

Tyler the Creator's "Goblin" Album Artwork

Had to post this. I love the aesthetic so much. Great photo, man. No shirt, the chains, the all-black eyes, the hat. Shit is sick. Wish he made music I can bump and not feel like I'm doing my mind harm. Tyler's dropping, Goblin May 10th.

Theophilus London Talks To Interview Magazine

My man fascinates me right now. Good for him.

Theophilus London made an underground name for himself through a series of mixtapes and an EP, then hit it big with "Flying Over Seas" on Mountain Dew's Green Label Sound. Now, he is touring around his pop-chart-topping EP, Lovers Holiday. He's been wearing a hat and sunglasses since day one. Interview was able to sit down with London poolside to discuss the evolution of his performances, his influences, and his music, as well as the details of his soon-to-be-released debut LP.

Write Happiness On The Water


Just got an ill idea.

*New Music* So What - Mac Miller x Wale (Produced by Don Cannon)

Maybe Wale's best verse ever. These kind of beats just suit him right. Mac goes in, too. The two released this on their Twitter earlier.

V Ave Shoe Repair Men’s Accessories and Shoes for Autumn 2011

Couple of great pieces about to have me wanting Fall? Nah b. We need Summer but these are great. A look at the accessories and shoes from the upcoming collection. Feeling the beanie a lot actually. Looks like something Louis would make but I'm sure rappers don't know about these guys yet.

Jay-Z Launches Lifestyle Website, LifeandTimes.com



I won't go crazy like I might have gone in the past but I do feel a certain way. Again, nobody over here invented the wheel, but all I want is a certain respect for what we've done. We're on the ground over 2 years with www.illrapper.com and now with Jay's "lifestyle website", it'll look like we're jocking them. Never, no way. I don't know. If it yields great original content, more power to them. If all it does it take it to the blogs that have done better for longer, I'm good.

Still worth checking out, LifeandTimes.com

William Yan x We Are Not Pilgrims Presents "Perfecto Brand By Schott NYC w/ Greg Chapman" [Video]


Nice look into the present and future endeavors of the Schott, Perfecto Brand with newly-appointed Creative Director, Greg Chapman. I think it's wonderful when a true fan of a brand can live and grow for years with the company and then one day get the opportunity to decide where to go next with it. Some of pieces they're making look pretty dope. Shout to Will Yan for expanding his repertoire more everyday. Actually disappointed in myself for missing him premiering this video at The Crosby Hotel the other day. Next time, homie.

Check out some more information on the collaboration project here.

Mister Cee Gets Caught Out There, Speaks Through Music On Hot 97 Old School At Noon

Rumors swirled throughout last night as a bullshit looking photo and description of an arrest made it's way around the internet. Read it yourself here but basically it stated that Mister Cee, the same dude who brought Biggie into the game and executive produced Ready To Die, the same legend DJ on Hot 97 for a million years, was arrested for soliciting a male prostitute and getting head in his parked car. If you're thinking what the hell one thing has to do with another, you're on the right track. Still, it's pretty disconcerting if it's true. While not outright dispelling any of the rumors during his old-school at Noon mix today, he seemed to be talking through the music of classic Big, Jay & Nas tracks. The overall attitude of the show seemed to be, I don't give a shit what you think, I'm a legend. You know what that means. Damn, b.

Shout to Elliott Wilson with the quick rip. We're calling this one the Adversity Mix. Download here.

Nude Portrait Of A 24-Year Old Elizabeth Taylor Surfaces

I'm careful about what I post here but I like the story behind this a lot. The picture was taken by one of Taylor's closest friends, actor and photographer Roddy McDowall. He persuaded her to pose naked by promising her it would be done tastefully. She then gave it to Todd, her third husband, as a present after he proposed in 1956 – the pair married a few months later but the relationship was tragically short-lived. Todd was killed 13 months after their wedding day when his private plane crashed during a storm over New Mexico. Crazy to me how even a nude photo can come out with grace from this woman. Rip.

DailyMail has the full details.

*New Video* Gotta Get Up - Asher Roth


Interesting video and coloring and such. Song like this need a cool visual. In my opinion it's the only way they work.
