Wiz Khalifa – Rolling Papers Artwork



We now see the artwork for Rolling Papers, which drops March 29th.¬† I’m going to assume this album will be heavily influenced by marijuana.¬† I’m cool with that…

Vibe Cover – Bruno Mars, Wiz Khalifa, B.o.B



Not quite sure how Wiz got thrown into this category.¬† I mean, he’s a cool dude, very approachable, and makes great music.¬† But I’m not sure 90% of the people who love “Black & Yellow” have heard the rest of his music collection.¬† Weed and b*tches aren’t exaclty household topics in the avergae American family.¬† I just find this funny.

On the other hand, if you judge pop music by how many 16 year-old suburban girls listen to it, then ALL 3 of these dudes fit right in.¬† Sorry Beth, looks like your daughter is reppin’ a Taylor Gang T on the weekends…

Ferrari FF



True Beauty.  Ferrari clearly has the upper hand on almost all other manufacturers in the automotive industry.  Unreal.

Ferrari has entered an all new segment with their Ferrari FF. Not exactly a grocery-getter, the high performance car is a progression from the previous generation 612 Scaglietti with a radical elongated hatchback style body. The FF features Ferrari’s new 4 wheel drive 4RM technology with a 0-62 mph sprint time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 208 mph. This all comes courtesy of a 6.3-liter V12 offering 651 horsepower and 504 lb-ft of torque.

Fresh Out The Box



Weezy on the cover of Rolling Stone.¬† It must be strange to go straight to a photo shoot as soon as you walk out the pen.¬† Can somebody please tell me why they used that quote next to his right arm for the cover?¬† I mean, I’m sure its out of context, but def NOT a good look.¬† SMH.

Shady 2.0



Now this looks like it could get interesting.  Em reboots his crew with the new signees from Slaughterhouse, officially making 2011 the year of Shady 2.0.  Seems like there have been some underground rumblings about bringing lyricism back to the forefront of hip hop, and Em has officially planted his flag. 

I like.

Nicki Minaj’s V Magazine Spread



This is dedicated to all you Nicki lovers out there.¬† That being said, this will probably be my last Nicki post for obvious reasons.¬† Talented, but she just doesn’t do it for me at the moment (unless you cover her face).

Aston Martin: Rapide Commercial (Part 1)



This might be THE sickest vehicle on the market.¬† Aston Martin does it again with the Rapide, showing the world why it’s brand is the standard for excellence.¬† The four door sports car market has become more popular as of late, and I’m pretty sure the Rapide holds the title with a base price of $235,800 USD.¬† Boss up.

P.S. Check out the cameo from the man Swizz Beatz. Random…

Consequence ft. KiD CuDi – On My Own



We get a quick peek at a new joint from Consequence, featuring Mr. Rager.¬† The song sounds OK, but the artwork is on point.¬† As with most things, I’m going to have to listen to the full track a few times to make a real judgement.¬†

Speaking of Cudi, I’ve been bumping some of his new shit from his sophomore release the last few days.¬† Definitely a darker themed album, but there are some classics on it.¬† My mojo so dope.
