Flat out may be the dopest commercial ever. featuring Paul Rodriguez, Kobe Bryant, Eric Koston, and of course, Ice Cube. This made my day.

Get your Radio Raheem on with more than just a P.E. tape. With 20 FM and AM stations, a USB port, AV outputs, a smart card drive, and an adapter to fit the Nano, Mini, and previous generation iPods, your gonna be bangin' on fools.

OnCue presents: Cueyfornication

Photobucket
I guess eventually someone was gonna do it. A mixtape of beats composed entirely from samples from one of my all time favorite bands, The Red Hot Chili Peppers. It has it's moments. Worth checking out if your interested. Shouts to Chanes who contributes one track. click the pic to download.

Crooks & Castles X SE Racing 26" bike

Photobucket
SE Racing and Crooks & Castles hooked up and came up with this fresh bike. Low rider style diamond stitch seat and pads, Crooks & Castles logos placed nicely on all parts of the bike, and real classic white wall tires. They're only making 300. And they're going for $750 USD. pretty nice.

DJ HERO: RENEGADE Edition

Photobucket
A spin-off of Activision's massive Guitar Hero franchise, DJ Hero will come out this fall for all the major gaming systems. Jay-Z and Eminem are gonna have this special edition that is supposed to have a bunch of extra songs including some un-released songs from each of them and one they do together.

This is pretty cool considering the Soundtrack is pretty beastin' with some good party music by the Black Eyed Peas, 50 Cent, Justice, Marvin Gaye, Beck, Beastie Boys and N.E.R.D to name some. Even cooler there is a lot of classic breaks and scratch sounds submitted by the games DJ consultants DJ ShadowDJ Z-TripDJ AM and Cut Chemist. As far as simulated live musical performance video games go, this one should be the bomb.

Where the wild things are: featurette

Nice little featurette interviewing Maurice Sendak the books creator, along with it's director Spike Jonze. I thought Jonze was a great choice to direct because his music videos and short films have always had this playful quality that I think will lend well to a children's story. Sendack gives his full approval on the film. nice.

Amongst Friends NYC. I can dig it.

Photobucket
This is one of the new clothing companies that I'm feeling right now. Amongst Friends based out of NYC, takes inspiration from "sneaking onto the golf course" as they put it, also sailing, rugby, and general american affluence inspires the line. I gotta step my Country Club game up.
