You Need This: Vince Staples - Shyne Coldchain Vol. 1

So yesterday, Modi and I were having a conversation about what music we're listening to right now. At first it took me a second because my iPhone is basically a revolving door of music but Vince Staples' most recent tape, Shyne Coldchain Vol. 1 has been getting heavy rotation pretty much all year. You need this mixtape. Just for proof, I've included my three favorites. But the entire tape is undoubtedly worth a spot on the iPhone. Download here.

[Note: It's dope but don't take my word for it because that would be plain old IGNANT.]

*Inserts Overdue "I'm Back" Post*

As a [formerly] consistent blogger, I really hate two things about the "I'm Back" posts: 1) Realizing that it's been so long since you've actually written anything and 2) Actually having to get back to posting. After a sick day, about a bottle and a half of NyQuil and some conversations with some of my creative colleagues, I'm back on the blog scene. And not a minute too soon.

Happy Founder's Day, Morehouse

145 years of Legacy, Brotherhood & Swag. Not too shabby.

Oh Yeah....

....never forget.

Bulls Won. Unh.

Bulls won. D.Rose back. 16-3. First Place in the East. Not too shabby.

Project X [Trailer]

Yo....

This looks insane. I know where I'll be on March 2^nd.
At first I was mad that this didn't come out when I was 17 but then after thinking about it, it's good that this wasn't out then. If it had come out when I was 17 I would have probably said: Timing is everything.

A$AP Rocky - Wassup [Video]

New A$AP. The kid's killing it. Consistent ass visuals paired with quality music equals one hell of a 2012.

Eli Manning...Blah Blah Blah

Sure, he's playing some of the best football of his career. And yeah, he's headed to a second Superbowl.

But Eli Manning [and his brother, Peyton] makes some weird ass faces. And therefore this website is forever relevant. Thanks, Manning brothers.

Horizon: The McGurk Effect / The Rubber Hand Illusion

The YouTube videos for BBC Two's Horizon are always really interesting. Check out these two I came across this weekend:
The McGurk Effect
The Rubber Hand Illusion

BBC got gigs.

Jaam [Fresh Prince Remix]

Damn, I really miss the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Like a lot. The worst part about it is that I don't even see reruns on TV these days. It looks like Pogo has our back with this dope mix of clips from the show making a pretty catchy song. Can't even lie, I've watched this at least 3 times.
Download the track here.


[Note: Shouts to the awesomer for the find.]

So Uh....Basketball Season?

It's been a very [very] tough sports week for me.

First, this happened.

Now, it's looking like we might lose our #1 pro-style Quarterback commit Gunner Kiel to Notre Dame.

LSU football fans can't catch a break. It's definitely time for basketball.

Sigh.....only 228 days until the North Texas game.

MLK Day.

Happy 83^rd, MLK.
