I've never wanted a portrait of myself, but this is dope...

Take a Break...

This is dope!

KORG iELECTRIBE App for IPAD

Many have argued that iPad is just a bigger version of the iPod Touch, but all cynical techies aside, the iPad continues to blaze its way through the market with rather surprising results. And while some might wonder, so what if the screen is bigger than the iPod Touch, here is an app that will prove that bigger is indeed better. For the beat buffs with a need to create all the way, all the time, KORG has turned its popular ELECTRIBE-R into an iPad application. While the ELECTRIBE-R has served dance musicians and beat masters for the past ten decades, the renewed version for the iPad will continue to meet all beat making needs with the virtual analog beatbox. The faithful replica will allow one to use a real keyboard and interface to name and manage resets. Of course, the larger screen size of the iPad will ensure that no one will have to feel like they have fat fingers again. The KORG iELECTRIBE is now available for download via iTunes.

Banksy Exit Through the Gift Shop Extended Sneak Peek

Exit Through the Gift Shop, the first film by renowned graffiti artist Banksy, became the hottest ticket at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival where it made its world debut. Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post—hurricane New Orleans to the separation barrier on the Palestinian West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution, Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. Exit Through the Gift Shop tells the incredible true story of how an eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results. The film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader and many of the worlds most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview. As Banksy describes it, Its basically the story of how one man set out to film the un—filmable. And failed

Since the early Spike Lee directed Air Jordan commercials Nike has always delivered with clever marketing. "The Secret Behind Nike Air" another example of this.

Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson and James Poysner took on the challenge of completely remixing Pharrell Williams' "In My Mind" project. The finished product dubbed "Out of My Mind" was set to be commercially released in 2007 but due to label politics it never saw the light of day. Because of the high demand ?uestlove leaked the project and I have it here for you all to enjoy. PLEASE DON'T SAY I HAVE NEVER GIVEN YOU ANYTHING!!!!

Kelis - Acappella

Visually this video hits the spot. Personally I've never been a big fan of electronica/dance music, but I think Kelis is the perfect artist to experiment with this genre. The song itself is cool. Being a new parent myself I can associate with how life changing having your first child can be. That being said, this is a great ode to her baby.....

Erykah Badu - "Window Seat" (Official Video)

The video that inspired Badu's clip
Matt & Kim


The dope thing about Erykah Badu's video is that according to her it was shot Guerrilla style with no crew, just her and one camera man in downtown Dallas......AND THEN THEY RAN LIKE HELL!!!!

Kanye West - Street Lights

Why couldn't I have thought of this???

Billund, Denmark, could easily be considered the prefab capital of the world: Each year, its factories pump out more than 19 billion modules, which are sent around the world and pieced together by more than 400 million people. Billund is, after all, the home of Lego, one of the most intensely used building blocks on Earth. The company’s 2,350 different pieces and 52 colors form a nearly infinite number of combinations—–and for as many purposes, from creating a land of shipwrecked pirates to assembling an actual kitchen island in a Paris apartment. The idea for Simon Pillard and Philippe Rossetti’s Lego kitchen sprouted five years ago, when Pillard put 500 blocks and a day’s worth of work into building a Lego-legged chair. The designing duo—–who create products together under the name Munchausen—–recently gave the seat a colorful companion. They covered their kitchen island—–a simple wooden block—–with 20,000 Lego pieces.

Congrats to Diggy Simmons!!!!

Congrats to Diggy Simmons for inking a deal with Atlantic records. This kid created a movement all by himself and didn't rely on his pops Rev. Run or Uncle Russell. He gets props for that. I expect some really big things from this kid.

DIGGY SIMMONS "Made You Look" Video

Being an older brother myself, I know exactly how it feels to see your younger sibling surpass your talent. I can only hope JoJo Simmons knows that his influence as a big bro to Diggy helped mold him into the talent that he is today.
