McFly(er) Than Giraffe P*$$y
Nike has finally decided to release a variation of the Back to the Future Nike 2015 or McFly’s.
Not exactly the same but dope nonetheless. Here are the original U.S. Patents for the McFly’s:
Artistic Integrity
Lately I’ve felt trapped in a self-made musical box like a mime. Stuck in the same songs from the same artists. Over the last week I’ve taken the time to re-up the musical inspiration in my life. “Purchasing” new music and feeding it into itunes. Wale is one of the upcoming artists that has stood out, among others. More on the others to come, until then check the video for artistic integrity.
Return of the Rubik’s Cube
For the last month, I’ve seen a crazy influx in Rubik’s cubes everywhere. First it was Kanye and Jay on Connect4 and now a heavy return of the this 70’s toy. After browsing a magazine I came across these tables. I’ve never owned one or had the desire to learn the algorithms of the cubes, but these tables are visually dope as hell.
Sample Sunday Vol. Justbleezy
It’s been a while since the last “Sample Sunday” and with the new design up, the love for blogging re-instilled in my veins, and the ferociousness of the Dynasty Intro courtesy of Justin Blaze: It’s back.
Remember: Just Blaze. Inqmnd. July 11th.
Kleer-She Said She Loves Me
Jay-Z-Dynasty Intro
Volcano x Thunderstorm
Again, on my nature’s beauty today. These are beautiful from the pictures, but if I’m seeing this first hand I probably would not be admiring a damn thing.
Iceberg Slim
After a day of broken plans turned into some cloud watching, I got to thinking of beauty and design in nature. I came across a phenomenon known as striped icebergs; plain and simple they are dope. Check them out on google images for more pictures. This was the explanation given on how these are formed:
Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.
When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe.
Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.
Also, if you aren’t familiar with the title reference look up Iceberg Slim and his life/work. An interesting historical “character” often referenced in popular culture.
Gordon Gartrell Radio
I came across this a couple weeks back and needed to share. One of the most refreshing and talented people in hip hop, Phonte aka Phontigga aka Percy Miracles aka one half of Little Brother has ventured into podcasting. This is the first couple weeks of his Gordon Gartrell Radio show. The selection is crazy, and Phonte on the mic is the perfect soundtrack to sit and get some work done or just relax.

Inqmnd Presents “Stadium Status”
The good peoples at InquiringMind(www.inqmnd.ca)Present Just Blaze Live @ Orange Room (Guvernment) July 11th w/ DJ Wristpect.
And that poster is crazy from one of my personal favourite photographers/ designers Greg Washington. Check out his flickr: BoroughBaby
Can’t Wait.
I don’t know if it is the imagery of the video, the message, or the fact that I’m a sucker for black and white video that makes this so dope? In case you haven’t checked it, this is the first official video for Nas-Untitled album.
Ok, I know that you know, that we both know the real title of this album. Either way I am highly anticipating the content of the album, name change or not.
