Simpsons x Justice?!?

Spotted this on Justice's myspace today. I have no real information about it, but clearly it looks like a legit Simpsons illustration. Could we be seeing Gaspard and Xavier in Springfield soon?

Skam x Louis Vuitton

Check out the job world famous graffiti artist SKAM did on the Louis Vuitton store in Toronto. Its a bit confusing that Louis Vuitton is choosing to go this route with their image, but the stuff they are putting out has been mighty safe.

In4mation "Aloha State meets the Big Apple"

Being from Hawaii myself, I am of course very proud when things from our islands blow up. In4mation is a local streetwear/sneaker store which has recently delved into creating their own lines. Their new Spring/Summer line aims to combine influences from our sunny homeland and the hustle and bustle of New York City. Theres a lot of basic patterns and colors, that I really think a lot of people will find a liking to, regardless of their styles. Check their online store for their other threads, they ship worldwide too.

Ra Ra Riot Guerilla Style

RaRaRiot - Dying is fine - A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

A friend of mine showed me this awesome site which has guerilla style performances of a number of bands and musicians. Heres a little baroque-indie band that I've been digging for a while. The video's also amazing to look at, and its nice to give our ears a break from heart-racing dance music every now and then.

Kanye x Kid Cudi: Welcome to Heartbreak Video

KANYE WEST "Welcome To Heartbreak" Directed by Nabil from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.

It seems that the general consensus these days is that Kanye is played out. There are numerous reasons to dislike Yeezy from his ridiculous arrogance, to his new musical style. The fact of the matter is that Kanye West does challenge the norms which often confine talented rappers and pop artists. From his days as a up and coming Hip-Hop producer, where he championed the soul-sample sound, to his current experimentation with vocoders and synths, Kanye is always pushing the envelope. In his newest music video, he has decided to utilize vivid colors and graphics to portray the mood of the track. Its definitely a cool idea, and I think the video's pretty well done.

Back In The Day When I Was a Teenager.....

.....I was a huge Hip-Hop head, and Cam'ron was one of my favorite rappers. His flow and lyrics are rather unorthodox, garnering praise from the likes of Pitchfork, pulling in a 8.7/10 for his Purple Haze album. The guy has definitely fallen on hard times, no longer supported by Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella label or his once formidable Diplomat crew. This music video for his new song I Hate My Job, is low budget as fuck and hard to watch, but I like the creative subject matter that Cam spits here.

Belvedere Black

[i]Sorry for taking so long to post again, I'm back though.[/i]

I'm a huge fan of Belvedere's vodka, and I'm not even a big drinker. The vodka giant is releasing a new black bottle of alchy, labeled as Belvedere IX. The roman numeral denotes the nine exotic ingredients in this 100 proof spirit, (ginseng, guarana, acai, ginger, sweet almond, jasmine, eucalyptus, three cinnamon, and black cherry). The bottle's design was done by socialite and graffiti artist Terry Richardson. Can't wait to sample this, hopefully the SAQs will get some in stock.
