Man oh man oh man. First thing I want to say is I love Andrew Kurchinski’s directing game. Dope cuts and pans, imagery, just everything. Next thing is if there ever was a reason I wasn’t a fan of the great DFD, I can now say confidently that I am. Dumb’s flow just cut through the air on this @EOM_ track. I can go on and break down every second of the video but I’ll leave that to your mind. Enjoy. “Cool and Calm” is a track off of the “DFD” album available on itunes heres: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/dfd/id474370842 Directed by: Andrew…

No one else could pull off a video of this grunge in 2012 besides Supreme thats for sure. The “Pizza Face” video follows a skater as psychedelic imagery is green-screened over his masked face. The Spring/Summer 2012 preview and lookbook is now available via Supreme. Here are a couple of my favorites.

Buenos Aires – Inception Park from Black Sheep Films on Vimeo. Being the tech geek at heart that I am, I must say this video is truly amazing to me. Fernando Livschitz is the mind behind this brilliant masterpiece. Adobe After Effects is one of my favorite post film applications, and this video is a great display of its capabilities. Check it out!

So I am going to confidently assume that a large portion of readers are viewing this post via Mozilla’s web browser, Firefox. What I am also going to assume less confidently, is that not many of you know that a firefox is a real animal. “Firefox” is a nickname for the species Red Panda. The other day I came across this video that shows two twin Red Pandas living at the Maruyama Zoo in Hokkido, Japan. These things are absolutely adorable. The Red Panda is a small arboreal mammal that is native to southwestern China and the eastern Himalayas. The…

Recent rumors have pointed toward March 7th, 2012 as the announcement date of Apple’s iPad 3. According to iMore, the iPad 3 will be boasting a quad-core Apple A6 processor, 2048×1536 Retina display, and possible 4G LTE network speeds. Other rumors point to a possible 5 or 8 megapixel rear camera and a FaceTime HD front facing camera. Regardless if the iPad 3 will make an appearance on the 7th of March, it is certain the day is coming real soon. Stay tuned.

Jenny Suk and Adrian Per team up for a remix of one of my favorite songs, Elle Varner Ft. J Cole – Only Wanna Give It To You. This right here is dope. Jenny’s got an incredible voice and I’m diggin’ her outfit super hard on this one. Adrian definitely killed his verse too. Love the directing of the video itself and the playful acting.

New Era introduces an “Elephant Print” version of its train cap the WM-01. Very different than the usual baseball offerings we see from New Era but this piece is extremely dope, definitely going to try to get my hands on it. Available in either gray (pictured) or black, you can buy this at New Era Japan now for ï¿¥5,040 JPY (approximately $66 USD).

Bon Rappetite is the world’s first hip hop restaurant based out of Atlanta, GA. Bon Rappetite serves some of our favorite classic dishes from mushroom risotto to buffalo wings but what gives this restaurant “hip hop” and unique is the naming of the dishes. Mushroom risotto = “Mushroom RZAotto” and buffalo wings = “L’il Wangz”. Other dishes include: Big Boi-led Shrimp, Creme Puff Daddies, and Roastface Killah. Very interesting idea but will this be a success? Learn more about Bon Rappetite here.

Vans OTW updates the silhouettes of its Bedford, Ludlow, and Alomar for the “Native American Pack coming Spring this year. This pack is constructed with extremely high materials including heavy washed canvas and premium leather uppers. The laser etching is also really dope. My favorite part about these is the inside lining. Native American Print is definitely one of the most popular trends in fashion at the moment. This pack is set to hit stores as soon as February!

Sh*t ______ Says videos have become widely popular and trendy on youtube. Whilst most of the shorts attempt to appeal to reality, humor through truth, NigaHiga has come with my favorite kind of comedy, plain stupid genius. Simple concepts that are hilarious. I guaranteed that this won’t fail to please. I was laughing so hard I could barely talk even after the video just remembering the comedy. Keep up with Ryan!

First off, I’m just going to get it out of the way and say you’re welcome before you thank me at the end of this piece. We all know us well dressed gentlemen love that little grown section of moc-toe boots, brogues, and boats next to our III’s and IV’s.

This is going to a more visual piece than anything but man, Vincent Bousserez is the dude for this one. A microworld amongst our own is imaged and photographed in his new photography book, “Plastic Life.” Vincent Bousserez places factory manufactured figures and surrounds them with real life settings that create ironic and poetic scenes. This is such a great series of macro photography. You can see the whole series here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bousserez/sets/72157594266762278/ You can also see more of Vincent’s work here: http://vincentbousserez.com/
