How Kanye could say some polejocking nonsense like Swizz Beats is the greatest producer ever is beyond me when people are displaying skills like this out in the music game. Araabmuzik’s MPC>Swizz Beats’ Casio

And a great morning continues! Just got this track sent to me by Ayinde. He goes in over the classic Electric Relaxation beat and it is fire. Listen, download, put it on your mp3 player all that!

The sneaker customization game just keeps getting better and better. Custom sneaker artist Jacob Patterson went to a whole other level with these God Of War dunks. Beyond just painting a picture on the side of the shoe and calling it a day, he added some ridiculous touches so you can really say these are the sneakers of the God Of War. Beyond the painting details, Patterson replaced the shoe laces with Kratos’ signature weapon, The Blades of Olympus. This is one of the best custom sneaker jobs I have ever seen. Check this video of Patterson putting the shoes together.

If the highlight isn’t like this or better, I don’t want to see it on ESPN.

Here are the visuals for the first joint from Shawn Caliber’s upcoming project No More Excuses. With the usual lyrical dexterity we expect from him, this project is going to be a beast. Take a look

Came upon this video last night. It is a making-of video from Kanye’s Late Orchestration show that he did back in 2006. I had no idea this even existed. It is definitely cool to see Kanye work with an entire orchestra, becasue no one does that. Once again, if only producers and performers would realize diversity is the key to longevity. I am on the hunt for the album of this now.
