Holland In Da Hood + FS Green

CauseRuckus — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:06:57 +0000

This sh*t is hilarious!!! Shout out to my man FS Green who based the track “Gotta Go” on an original piece from the Dutch show “Holland in da Hood”, a show where they put 10 wannabe Dutch gangster rappers in the ghetto of LA.

Ruckus Halloween 2011

CauseRuckus — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 23:54:34 +0000

Halloween is here! I hope you’ve got your costumes ready people!
My Halloween shenanigans started with a bang on Friday night with my dGi fam at Yoni Goldberg’s Annual Halloween Party.
Sh*t was off the chain as usual! With a lineup that included Rev Run and myself, Jesse Marco and one special guest that NOBODY expected. Mr Stanley Kirk Burrell aka MC HAMMER.
Yep! MC HAMMER. He KILLED IT! and had the crowd jumping.

Shout out to Yoni and dGi – I’m already looking forward to next year.
Check the flicks below!

Model Students by Aaron K.

CauseRuckus — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 23:53:22 +0000

I came across Aaron K‘s Model Student story on Tumblr last night and had to post it. It definitely has to be one of the best fashion spreads I’ve seen this year, with a pretty controversial edge.

“The aim for this shoot was to draw attention to the fact that young high-school age girls are regularly portrayed as more mature, sexually assertive women by the fashion industry. I find this kind of deception both intriguing and, in some cases, quite disturbing (particularly when models under the age of 16 are involved),”

Love the shoot – love the concept.I’m keeping my yearbook flicks under wraps (for now).

Roses are Red…

I don’t know about you, but I would definitely battle Jason Statham over Rosie. Came across these shots and just had to post.

SBTRKT: Wildfire

admin — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 23:20:02 +0000

This track has been around for a hot minute, but I’m only just getting round to the video.
Straight from SBTRKT’s self-titled debut album: Wildfire (You may have also heard Drake’s sick verse on it), features the silky smooth vocals of Little Dragon’s Yukimi Nagano. The video focuses on a woman sweating in a room of intense heat – so much so that heat unglues the wall paper). Set to a true dubstep wobble, the video is a definite “must watch”.

Back For The Future

admin — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 02:15:48 +0000

The future is officially here in the form of the SICK Nike Mags.
From Nike: “The 2011 NIKE MAG shoe was designed to be a precise replica of the original from Back to the Future II. The aesthetic is an exact match, down to the contours of the upper, the glowing LED panel and the electroluminescent NIKE in the strap. The 2011 NIKE MAG illuminates with the pinch of the “ear” of the high top, glowing for five hours per charge.”
1500 pairs of the “sick kicks” will be available by auction only kicks on Ebay happening now and proceeds will be donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
Go get em kids!

Armed At Your Next Meeting…

admin — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 22:39:26 +0000

Meetings, meetings, meetings – I’m not a fan – but they’re necessary for business.
I came across these bad boys the other day and ordered them immediately. Watch out for me in the next meeting folks.
From the designer…

Here, weapons which may typically be viewed as symbols of violence are converted to tools for peace. Our creativity and knowledge expressed through words and sketches are the best means to get our points across, not through force and/or violence.

Get yours here

8 Hours in Brooklyn

admin — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:12:44 +0000

Y’all know I’m a fan of time lapse videos – but this one? This one is NEXT LEVEL.
Which is pretty appropriate considering it was shot and produced by Next Level Pictures. Armed with a Phantom Flex camera they captured all BK footage over 8 hours…break-dancers, basketball players, skateboarders and kids playing with open fire hydrants, all classic Brooklyn activities set to the ridiculously surreal and bass heavy Where You Should Be feat Sam Frank…a SKREAM classic.

Take the time to check out the video. It’s amazing.

Dance and Chill – Dubstep Style.

First up a cool lil dubstep/dance track from HAS!

Watching The Throne…

admin — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 04:00:14 +0000

NO..I did not forget about one of the biggest albums to drop this year…I mean how could I?
There are too many tracks on that album for me to mention, BUT I have to give props to the sample of the Flux Pavillion “I Can’t Stop.” in the banger “Who Gon Stop Me.” – A motherf*cking dubstep classic. Remember I blogged about this killer track back in March? (‘Ye I see you been reading up on ma blog..ha!)

Watch The Throne has many peeps talking, blogging, tweeting and they’ll probably be doing so for a while – but I have to give props to the Madbury Club who put together a sick rundown of Jay vs ‘Ye in the run up to the WTT release. Check out some of the excerpts below and you can find the full rundown here.

A is for…

Be Kind.

admin — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 03:35:37 +0000

World!! What is going on?!
Seriously…stock markets crashing, serious riots in London, famine in Somalia, the loss of even more troops in Afghanistan and Middle East turmoil..sh*t is getting seriously crazy out there. It’s times like this that we really need to slow down, take time and share love…NOT ONLY with the ones you care about the most, but with your neighbors, friends, cats, dogs, bodega guys..whatever!!
Seriously.

I spend a lot of time on the road with the honorable Rev. Run, he has many words of wisdom that I only wish I could share with y’all. Instead lemme just quote one of his most recent tweets of wisdom…

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

The best things ever invented for kids, damn I wish I was 10 again…seriously though, how’d they even get in there?

The Classic Car Club

admin — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 19:37:02 +0000

The Classic Car Club opened up an NYC garage on the Upper East Side earlier this month. Members (fee is $8,000 to $12,000 a year) get to drive a range of SICK autos: from a 1969 Ford Bronco to a 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo. Later this year, the club will add a 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia and a 2010 Mercedes SLS AMG. I just died and went to car heaven!!! Check the deets out here.

Desktop Dumpsters

admin — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 22:58:08 +0000

I’m on the go a lot, so I don’t really have a desktop per se. HOWEVER anyone that knows me will tell you that when I’m in the studio my “desk space” is like a whole new universe. That’s why I’VE GOT TO HAVE a few of these. Created by Ryan Christensen of STEELPLANT these alternatives to crappy pen holders and desk trays are definitely what’s up.

Cool holders for pens, pencils and even plants, they’re customized by various graff artists, so you’re getting a mini work of art AND a “miscellaneous” sh*t holder. Needed.
Check the full set out here.

The Couple That Works Together…

admin — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 22:43:28 +0000

Stays together and does beautiful work together too. Well maybe not all husband and wife teams BUT Jenny Gage & Tom Betterton are definitely up there.
I came across these amazing images shot by the husband and wife team. Famous for their Nesting Instinct editorial, shot at their home in Clinton Hill, they bring a a style of relaxed yet sensual side to all their photography.

You can check out more of their work here. One for the bookmarks people!

Amy Winehouse: 1983 – 2011

admin — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:14:02 +0000

Today the music world lost one of it’s most prolific yet controversial stars – Amy Winehouse.
Substance abuse, tabloid drama and not-so-good performances aside…there was NO DENYING this woman’s talent. I like many hadn’t yet given up hope on a come back – it’s a sad day…
