Puma: L.I.F.T.

Normally I wouldn't post a commercial but this one is just plain cool. It feature a man in and a woman dancing as images are projected onto the walls and tables in the room which are ever changing courtesy of stagehands opening doors and moving things around from dark spots where nothing is being projected. To top it all off the dancers themselves are projected on as well, but I'm not trying to ruin it for you, just watch the video.

If you haven't heard of Hypebeast before it is a online magazine for style and culture and is one of the top places to find breaking news on limited edition clothing and sneakers, and artists such as Kaws and Takashi Murakami.

The Ocarina Of Rhyme

Three things I love; Hip Hop, mash ups, and video games, so it goes without saying that I was incredibly excited when a friend of mine clued me into this mash up(props to Preston a.k.a. DJ Money Handz) by Team Teamwork which combines vocals from artists like Clipse & Jay-Z with theme music from The Ocarina of Time. Of course this isn't the first time someone has mixed video games with Hip Hop but that doesn't mean this isn't dope. Other artists featured include; MF Doom, Aesop Rock, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg. Check out the streaming songs below.

John Forte: Runnin Up That Hill Video

George W. Bush didn't do too many things right during his time as president but he did shorten John Forte's prison sentence from 14 to 7 years so I guess we can forgive Iraq...right? Whatever. John Forte hasn't made much noise in the industry--mostly because of the whole prison thing--but he did produce and co-write a couple tracks for The Score by The Fugees back in the day so rest assured he doesn't lack talent. In this video Forte remixes Kate Bush’s 1985 track “Runnin Up That Hill.”
