DAZ x The Smoking Section

?uestlove - Sittin on Dem Gold 1's


 No it's not ?uestlove's attempt at a pop/club banger...it's the other Air Force 1 collabo.  I showed details of the red toe versions a few days ago.  Well here are details of the "Gold Toe".  I think I like these better now after seeing these pics.  Snagged the photos from Okayplayer.

 Crooked I keeps the tracks coming, and according to Shake & Meka, he's dropping it with no tags so that you "mixtape" dj's (aspiring and celebrity calibers) can put something together with your own tags. So of course Shake & Meka have the link, so u can use theirs for download.

 So it's not anywhere in Los Angeles but you have to admit that this design is sick.  The idea is by UNStudio, a band of Dutch architects.  The idea is to be modern yet exclusive...in other words it will catch your eye but keep you from actually being able to see much of what's inside.  For more details go here.

Friday the 13th - 2009 Remake
 Guess who?!?!?!?!?!!? So word is Jason is gettin' a Redux next year.  Drops in February, Friday the 13th nonetheless.  Supposedly there is a new twist so that it's not a simple remake but more of new angle to a story we're all familiar with.  Movies that did a good job of this idea: Batman Begins and Texas Chainsaw.  Movies that did a bad job: too many to name.

 So ever developing Downtown LA just got a new Sushi Bistro: Origami.  The place was originally located in Santa Clarita but has decided to open a new location closer to us city dwellers.  According to their website they're about Sushi, Steak and Martinis.  I'm not into Sushi but Steak and Martinis are fine with me.  I know Los Angeles has really dove into the Sushi trend...and with Downtown LA starting to boom...I'm sure this will be a place for urban dwellers to hang out.  So if you want to escape Hollywood and still do something sexy...check this place out.

UNI X Going/PUSH @ The Roxy




 Some exclusive footage of UNI back at the ROXY on Saturday night for the Going.com/PUSH event.  I felt like part of the U-N-I entourage last week, but those are my dudes so it's all good.  They put on an energetic show, won over a few new fans, had a few groupies follow Y-O around, and even shouted out the blog, "Eazee Street in the house", before performing "Supreme" (the first post I made).  Here are a few pics of the duo: in front of the Roxy, backstage, on stage, and out front again with another West Coast emcee FOCuz.  U'll hear from that guy soon as he will be the 1st official resident artist on Eazee Street.  I'll have more photos up on the myspace page or UNI's in the next 24 hours.

 "Showcasing his trademark high heel designs, London based artist Insa, held an event displaying much of his superior creative artwork plastered on huge walls accompanied by giant versions of high heel graphics, and even a reverse glory hole into a show featuring live music by Kam, Portuguese trio Buraka Som Sistema and Acyde. Along with the fun-filled bash came a free exclusive event shirt limited to 100 pieces. Check out the images from the event after the jump." - (c) Hypebeast (photos snatched from there too)

 The homie Three 1 Zero just dropped this gem the other day and it's getting some positive reviews thus far.  Basically the tracks are based off of people in the Laker organization at that time, like Sean Rooks, Dennis Rodman, Chick Hearn, etc.  One everyone is raving about is the track Jeanie Buss, which is ironically about gold diggers.  I'm down with the creative backdrop for this piece of work.  So download it here, and you can get an in depth breakdown of the LP here.

 Some of you have probably been here, but if you haven't u need to get on the good foot and step your eat game up.  So I ventured here about a week and a half ago...i don't have any photos of the food because I felt it awkward to bring in the big peter parker camera while on a form of (clears throat, coughs) "date".  The food was great and I'll have a more in depth post about this restaurant over at 2girls1guy later tonight.

 Seeing we live in the city of Angels, located in Southern California...we are prone to earthquakes...as we've all been wondering when we will have a large one...well we had fairly significant one today.  Details at MSNBC.  Originally cited as a 6.6, then officially 5.8 then downgraded to 5.4; I think it's being downplayed so we don't panic.  Because there are a number of people who believe "the BIG One" will come this summer or after.   Anyways...it was felt in Las Vegas and San Diego...i'd think a lil larger than 5.4 in that case...but i'm no expert.

Media Take Out Mixtape
 So I guess awhile back MediaTakeOut.com and a few others put out a mixtape that was downloaded over 100,000 times.  I think that's a good reason to release another.  Featuring a bunch of rappers you know (T.I., The Game, Lil Wayne, etc) and hosted by Los Angeles Veteran Ice Cube and Southern Heavyweights 3 6 Mafia, it looks like it could be a pretty good mixtape.  Enjoy.  Download it.

Excuse me, i'm on my movie/video trip right now...
So if you saw The Dark Knight..., then you saw this trailer. If not here's something for you to look at. The special effects and the graphic details are what got me into it...and seeing this is based off of what was the biggest comic books/graphic novels of all time...it will be interesting to see how this translates as a movie. Leave your comments on it...i can tell you based off of the look alone this should be pretty intense. The original story was written during a very political time so with all the intense interest in politics, media and war these days, this should be very relevant (even if it's based on a comic book).
Saw V - HD Trailer
Me and the Saw Franchise have a love/hate relationship...I loved the 1st one, loved pieces of the last 4 but I hate the fact there have been so many. Either way, I'm always curious to see what happens in each new release. The fact that someone thinks out all these "games" is somewhere between creative genius and psychotic...either way check it out and make sure to have a date for Halloween.

The Game (Feat. Travis Barker) - Dope Boys 
Since I've seen so much of JT this week...in person and on the internets...it's only right that I post his new video up. The song goes hard and I'm very much a Travis Barker fan. Enjoy...this is where most cats insert the release date plug...I won't.
