G-Shock x Kenzo Digital present Dee & Ricky "Super Ultra Kara-tay" from Kenzo Digital on Vimeo.
A homage to the 8-bit video game culture and Kung-Fu movies, “Super Ultra Kara-tay” finds design duo Dee & Ricky as Kung-Fu students who must defend their Lego Shaolin temple against a nefarious villain and his swarm of ninja assassins. “Super Ultra Kara-tay” is an original and innovative new short film that fuses stop motion animation, martial arts, original music production, and LEGOs in a unique process that has never been done before. The piece was produced by film director/video artist Kenzo Digital as an extension of G-SHOCK’s recent watch campaign with Dee & Ricky.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PAIR OF SHOES IVE SEEN IN A WHILE!
iPhone 4!
The Iphone 4 is going to be the coldest thing to drop since Drake's "Thank Me Later". The all new design makes the phone thinnest smartphone in the world. With all the new innovations to the phone the one i liked the most (and i think will have the bigest impact) is the Facetalk. With the 4g you can talk face to face to anyone else who has a 4g (and WiFi). Other things the phone has is a better resolution screen, HD video, and a LARGER BATTERY!(idk if its just me but everyone i kno with a iphone battery ALWAYS dead!) But heres the video. check it out for yourself.
Sucker Free Summit Awards
Via MTV.com
The “Hottest Breakthrough MC of 2010″ will be chosen by you, the audience, from the 20 candidates MTV News has selected.
Cast your vote below, but bear in mind that this poll is strictly limited to up-and-coming talent: artistscannot have released a major-label album by June 21, 2010, or been voted into a previous “Hottest MCs in the Game” top 10, so MCs like Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Andre 3000, Eminem, Kanye West and even Drake — our #3 Hottest MC last year — and chart-topper B.o.B are not eligible. We’ll have the 2010 “Hottest MCs” rollout later in the year.
You should cast your vote based in the following factors: The MC’s musical skill (rhyme ability, flow and songwriting) as well as their buzz on the street and the impact they’ve had on the game so far. All of those factors should be taken into consideration when casting your vote!
The poll is open until midnight on July 16, and the five MCs with the most votes will be unveiled starting on July 19. All five will be featured on the award show the “Sucker Free Summit” on July 25, and then the winner, chosen by you, will be announced.
As you’ll see from our list below, plenty of up-and-coming MCs have made their names known in recent months. So take a look, consider carefully, and cast your vote!

In Tokyo with Nigel Sylvester
My new favorite BMX biker lol
In Tokyo with Nigel Sylvester from hypebeast.tv on Vimeo.
Last month, one of New York’s most notable BMX riders Nigel Sylvester took a trip across the world to Tokyo as part of a Gatorade-sponsored event. Hoping to get some solid riding in throughout some unfamiliar landscapes, unfortunately Mother Nature was largely un-cooperative. We still managed to catch up with Nigel to gain a better insight into the parallels between Tokyo and New York City, his everyday routine and his goals and aspirations.
