Common Remembers J Dilla

Hermes Clipper 44mm Mechannical Chronograph

Hermès is set to drop a thick collection of Clipper watches onto the market. Timezone has a first look at the 44mm “mechanical” chronograph model. “For 2010, the Hermès Clipper collection adds the Clipper 44 mm Mechanical Chronograph, with a 44mm case in titanium. Inside the case, a mechanical self-winding Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement, a marvel of reliability and precision, gives rhythm to time and, for an instant, suspends its flight.” Four other models – 26mm and 28 quartz, 36mm chrono, and a 39.5mm automatic will also be available in shortly.

The documentary isn't completely finished yet, but the trailer is above for you viewing pleasure.

Man... Remember how ill Aaliyah used to be?

Timeless Verses

LRG x B.o.B. x Asher Roth x Kanye West


LRG got to follow B.o.B around while he was doing press for his upcoming The Adventures of Bobby Ray album as well as for The Grammy’s.

B.o.B also dropped the LRG-sponsored May 25th mixtape

One of the highlighted singles off B.o.B.’s latest mixtape is this record featuring himself and Asher Roth over some dope production by Kanyeezy. Entitled Fuck the Money, the track serves as a testament to some of the questionable practices of the music industry that surprise artists all too often. B.o.B’s May 25th Mixtape is titled after the date his debut album releases later this year. In the mean time check out the single below and download the full mixtape here.

LG Serie 1 Vintage CRT Television

The LG Serie 1 Television incorporates an honest-to-God CRT, comes in a box that looks like a steamer trunk, and can be switched to black-and-white and even sepia, in case you want to turn Anderson Cooper into a daguerrotype.


It's even got a channel-changing knob that you can break off and replace with a pair of Vise-Grips, just like in the good ol' days.

Miller High Life Skateboarding Commercial


Unfortunately this ad never made it to fruition but imagine if High Life was really marketed like this, we’d all be drinking it. Wait we already are drinking it, but still.

No I.D.

Although Kanye was visibly missing from The Grammy’s last night, his mentor was there to put on for their city. Among all the fuckery I’ve read online today, the one thing I didn’t see was the legendary No I.D. getting the recognition he deserved for the work he put in this year. He not only took home a statue for his production on “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune),” but two more as well for the co-production of “Run This Town.” The world is anxious to see what he’s capable of doing in 2010.

Best Rap Solo Performance - Jay-Z "D.O.A."

Best Rap Song - Jay-Z feat. Kanye West & Rihanna - "Run This Town"

Best Rap/Sung Collaboration - Jay-Z feat. Kanye West & Rihanna - "Run This Town"

Congrats homie!
