#516 Kanye West Spring 2012 Collection

Kanye West: Rapper / Crazy Guy / Fashion Designer. Watch his 2012 Spring collection below.

#513 Jay-Z x Battle Field 3

This trailer looks and sounds so great, it almost makes me wanna start gaming. Almost.

#512 American Juggalo

I've shared my appreciation / fascination for the subculture called Juggalos here before. This morning I saw this amazing documentary called American Juggalo fly by on the internet. It comes across as the Heavy Metal Parking Lot of the 2010s and is viewable online, right here below. Awesomeness.

#500 Banned Lunchables Commercial

A little bird told me that this is a commercial for Lunchablez from 1996, developed to appeal towards urban youth. The commercial never saw the light of day, until now... Whether this is true though I wouldn't know.
By the way. Post number 500. Not bad eh?

#479 Holland In Da Hood

The geniuses at Eyeworks are working on a new reality show called "Holland In Da Hood". After hot items like "Oh Oh Cherso" and "Echte Meisjes In De Jungle" a program, probably broadcasted on RTL 5, will show 6 Dutch youngsters / gangsters, from illustrous places like Bakkum, meet with their idols from the ghettos of Los Angeles. See a trailer for advertisers here.

#469 Jimmy Fallon x Justin Timberlake x The Roots: History Of Rap Part. II

Awesomeness.

#456 James Brown's Miso Soup

Of course Eddy Murphy did a great James Brown parody on SNL back in the 80's, but no one does a better James Brown then James Brown himself. See this Miso soup commercial to understand why.

#437 Get Into The Groove

Ever wondered what a record groove looks like when you enlarge it a 1000 times?

#429 Dr. Dre When He Was A Toddler

Now supposedly, the film above is taken from an old TV show and the little toddler you're seeing is a young André Romell Young aka Dr. Dre. Whether this is true or not, I cannot say for a full 100%, however the kid does look like him and he's already being a true mack.

#428 Charlie Seen x Snoop Dogg: Winning

Snoop and Sheen have recorded a record. One that you can actually buy here... it's called "Winning!" and it's kinda stupid, but interesting nonetheless.

#418 Ghost Face Killah Beer.

Great rapper and apparently a decent beer as well. Whether there's an "official" connection between the two is unclear to me. I'd guess not, since the Wu's Ghostface is spelled as one word. Regardless! Beer and Ghostfase in one post.. ye-yeah!

#410 Beastie Boys Fight For Your Right Revisited Short Film Trailer

The Beastie Boys have released a trailer for their upcoming 30-minute short film / music video. The 30-minute short film / music video is entitled Fight For Your Right Revisited and features everyone that is funny in the US of A today, amongst others Will Ferrel. That should be enough to make you click the film below.

#399 Another Week Another Add With Snoop

This week Snoop pops up as the spokesperson for Air New Zealand. Snoop is laying down a track with ANZ's hairy ambassador, the Jim Henson Company creation, Rico. Quite funny, about as funny as the Snoop / Marco Borsato match up from a while ago, not nearly as funny this Orange campaign.
Now that I think of it. I should probably do a post on Snoop in commercials one of these days.

#351 Operation: Doomsday Deluxe Lunchbox Reissue

I'm loving the packaging for the upcoming reissue of MF Doom's Operation: Doomsday. Yes... it's a lunchbox.

#339 Some Good Old Racism

Food manufacturer Duncan Hines had decided to pull back their latest commercial for their Chocolate glaze. The commercial entitled "Hip-Hop Cupcakes" is considered racist by... well by just about everyone in the free thinking world. What were they thinking, that this is still the 60's?

#324 A Pepsi Sponsored Christmas Story From Snoop

#320 T-Pain Remixes The Laptop

Did I mention this T-Pain remixes the laptop commercial from Toshiba yet?

#282 Dr. Dre New Single "Kush" Featuring Snoop and Akon

Rumor has it, that what you're about to listen is the first single from Dr. Dre's for ever and ever delayed Detox album.
Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg & Akon - Kush by Hypetrak

#281 Perfect Zwolle (by Gert Jaap)

Perfect Zwolle by Gert-Jaap is a compilation featuring the best of what Zwolle has to offer in terms of Hip-Hop. All of this is in Dutch so I can't imagine lyrically this being very interesting for anybody not speaking the language. However, the various beats created by the likes of Kubus, Delic and A.R.T. cross all language barriers.
