Wale's Second Seinfeld-Themed Mixtape, More About Nothing, Somehow Better Than the First

Click Here To Download

What is it with these New School rappers making better mixtapes than albums? More so than Drake, Kid Cudi and, arguably, B.o.B, Wale's first Seinfeld-themed mixtape, The Mixtape About Nothing, was much, much better than his major label debut, and the brand new sequel, More About Nothing is better still. There are a few more slow, introspective, spoken-word-ish songs, at which the D.C. MC has gotten better, a really outstanding go-go-ified Lenny Kravitz sample on "The Flight," and an even better Sam Sparro sample on the tape's best track, "The Black N Gold," contextualized with plentiful Seinfeld snippets throughout.

Artful Dodger

The Artful Dodger brand is positioned to be the alternative to everything that currently exists in the marketplace and therefore attracts a guy who is predisposed to being untraditional. Much like the character, the brand goes against the grain and is consistently reinventing itself. The artful Dodger is rich in history as an 18th century rogue who rejects modern society and finds a way to attain wealth. Our brand is a modern adaptation to that cutting edge energy.

My Life...My Poem...My Mind.

"Soundtrack To My Life"

As I walk through life

I look at all I have done

I had wandered aimlessly

And wondered what I have become

I have been through so much

It is amazing I made it through

The lessons I have learned

I am shocked I pulled through

The times I wondered

What life was all about

The trials experienced in life

Can make all the good come out

We try to make it day by day

Remembering what we were taught

Just remember some time to pray

It is important

We need it every day

Life can be short

Unexpected at that

We try to take its punches

Just hoping it won't break our back

Remember who you are

Who you want to become

Everything will fall into place

When the time comes

Don't forget to say I love you

Every chance you get

The time maybe short

There is no time to regret

Life can be exciting

As we all have found out

Eventful, even busy

There is no time to be left out

Remember who you are

And Who you want to become

The time can be short

Don't leave things undone

Remember your family

They are the only ones you've got

To carry you in times of need

They can not be bought

Remember they love you

Either here or there

They will always be with us

Help for things to bear

Clap For Em:Matinique

 

Matinique was founded in 1973 by Niels Martinsen, whose vision was to create comfortable, high-quality and fashionable clothing for men.

In 2002 the brand team sets out to re-capture the essence of Matinique and redefines the brand. They turned a diluted label into a rejuvenated lifestyle brand with a presence on the international mens fashion scene.

Matinique evolves to exceed the ever changing needs of their customers. Now more than ever, the Matinique man demands the highest quality, great style – and clear choices. From shirts to jeans, blazers to trousers, belts to shoes - the Matinique man will be able to create his dressed-down look from the city casual styles and his dressed-up look from the city smart styles.

For every occasion Matinique makes it easier than ever to create the perfect image and presence.

Just Do It..

In Europe the Nike Air Max 90 Infrared has already re-released a couple of weeks ago. The US release is still coming and Primitive sure knows how to steer some attention towards their own release of the iconic sneaker. They got together with Justene Jaro for a shoot and also for a collaborative t-shirt. Both the sneaker and the tee will release on July 24th.

Nicki finally announces release date

Nicki Minaj is everywhere, except on her own album. But that’s about to change because the breakout star’s debut finally has an official release date.

Young Money’s First Lady will release her as-yet-untitled album during the week of Thanksgiving, known to be the busiest shopping week of the year in the U.S. “Yes. It’s time. November 23rd,” she told her followers on Twitter.

Her single “Your Love” is No. 1 on the Rap Songs chart for the second straight week. She became the first female artist, unaccompanied by another act, to reach No. 1 on the chart since Missy Elliott’s “Work It” spent 12 weeks at No. 1 in November 2002.

A video for “Your Love” was shot in Los Angeles over the Fourth of July weekend. The song, which samples Annie Lennox’s “No More ‘I Love You’s’,” is the follow-up single to “Massive Attack.”

IRON MAN ON THEM BOYS LIKE BIEM,BIEM,BIEM!!!

First unveiled with a V8 engine, Audi waited a while before introducing the V10 model. But when the convertible Spyder version came along, they did things the other way around, offering it at first only with the V10. Now the German automaker has opened the order books for customers who want the open-air experience of the Spyder with the more economic V8 engine. Customers who opt for the V8 model can still choose from manual or automatic transmissions, available carbon-ceramic brakes and can upgrade to the V10 version’s larger wheels and upgraded suspension. So if you’ve been hankering for an R8 Spyder but the V10 has been a little out of reach, now could be your time.

Franck Muller Infinity Ladies Watches For 2010

For men Franck Muller has been focusing on sport and complications, and for women, the focus is all about colorful jewelry watches. Some might even call them fashion pieces – which is a bit of a departure from the avant garde classicism I am used to in Franck Muller designs. Here are some new Infinity and the new Infinity Reka collection pieces. The women’s watches are all diamond covered in 18k white gold cases. There are two basic shapes. The tonneau-shaped case that Franck Muller calls “Cintree Curvex” and a new square design for for Infinity Reka. There is also the oval cased version available. The dials come in a variety of styles and colors, with either Arabic or Roman numerals. Dials are mostly high-quality mother-of-pearl from Japan, or just done in more diamonds with lacquer (or maybe enamel) numerals. Case sizes range from about 25 – 50mm wide. As you can see, Franck Muller is really offering an Infinity watch for every woman (just not every budget).

Vans Vault x Filson Fall 2010

Clap For Em: Chris Bosh

Get excited, Miami Heat fans; it appears as if you've won the 2010 NBA Free Agency Sweepstakes.

Guard Dwyane Wade and All-Star forward Chris Bosh, the prized free agent from Toronto, have announced their intentions to team up in Miami, and the future is hotter than a Saturday night on South Beach.

And, there’s still a small chance this Heat wave reaches epic proportions.

Miami, with significant influence from Wade, Bosh and team president Pat Riley, could still successfully recruit superstar forward LeBron James. There’s a chance he bolts from his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers to join Wade and Bosh with the Heat, forming a powerhouse trio that would make the Heat title favorites for years, and elevate them to unseen heights of NBA rock stardom.
