Kanye West Surprise Visit to "Rolling Stone" Magazine
'Ye is on a media/promo tour and he's bringing his album along for an exclusive listening session to some journalists.
All suits everything.
Bonus: "The Social Network" movie trailer, inspired by Mark Zuckerberg bio, founder of Facebook. Score by Kanye West "Power". Fitting!
Zack Snyder's "Sucker Punch" Movie Trailer
I believe it premiered at Comic-Con. From the Director of "Watchmen" and "300". Not much of a storyline here but sure looks good visually.

Promoting his new movie Twelve, in theaters August 6th. He also showed his arm where they removed all his tatoos. That laser process is actually more painful than getting the actual tatoo.

Great alley-oop from Drizzy on the hook, Bun B throws it down for a smash hit.*crowd goes wild*

Kanye West Premieres New Track Acapella @ Facebook HQ
The song is titled "Chain Heavy". I'm sensing Yeezy has a classic under his hands. Can't wait til September. He performed some kind of poem first, before that.
This is the making of a masterpiece so we broke out the chains and told the Master Peace
Video: Estelle ft Nas & ft. John Legend "Fall in Love"
She shot the two different versions of the song. Both videos directed by Sanaa Hamri, same plot and storyline, just different cameos.
Video: Royce Da 5'9'' "Vagina"
Off the Bar Exam 3 Mixtape. The video is an instant BET Uncut classic, girls in lingerie and DJ Whoo Kid rocking his 70s porn'stache. Hilarious!
E=MC2...Vagina! C'mon!

Video: The Roots ft. John Legend "The Fire"
My favorite record in the album. Here's Rik Cordero vision about the short film:
“The Fire” is one of my favorite tracks off HIGO and really feels like something you’d hear in the theater. The line “you don’t say good luck, you say don’t give up” inspired me to create a period piece narrative that stays true to the lyrics while adding another layer to the interpretation.
Not how i would've interpreted the track visually, but hey what do I know.

Ari from 'Entourage' makes an unbelievable trick shot from the 3rd floor of a building. Former L.A Lakers Rick Fox missed all his 3 shots, the irony.

Young Jeezy & Shyne Cover "XXL" Magazine
Jeezy in "All White Everything". I can't believe the other cover to Shyne, he's been out for months, he's no longer relevant especially after all those crappy freestyles he released. Big Boi should've got it.

Great the dopeboys have a new anthem. What's an ode to drug dealing without the Clipse, great alley-oop. Cam'ron surprisingly had an impressive flow on this one. Joey Crack aka Cooked Coke held his own too. I like the leaks of "The Darkside" so far I might cop it.

50 was also attacked on stage by an over-excited fan [not in video], that probably didn't mean wrong, he was "escorted" out by security.
Lebron James, Dwayne Wade & Chris Bosh Cover "Sports Illustrated" Magazine
Sportscasters are still looking for a catchy name to name the new Miami Heat trio. I heard Miami Thrice, The (new) Big Three, The Three Amigos, Miamigos, Superfriends...All corny, nicknames don't matter when The Los Angeles Lakers already have theirs etched into next year Larry O'Brien trophy.

Lebron James: His Decision
The most exciting free agency probably in NBA history (at least the one I witnessed) came to an end last night when Lebron James confirmed what has been reported for days, since Draft Day by Stephen A. Smith that he'll be joining Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh to play for the Miami Heat.
It wasn't an easy decision for the self-proclaimed "King" to leave his kingdom for an easy attempt at a championship. Winning was the deciding factor not money. Lebron turned down a max salary in Cleveland to take a pay cut in Miami. Some would argue that it's still a selfish move from LBJ to abandon his team and city especially in the economic woes it's experiencing.
As soon as the decision was announced in a reality-show like style on ESPN, producers cut to burning images of Lebron's jersey in Cleveland. Apparently the fans had also made the decision that he was no longer welcome there. I must say that I was shocked to see him leave and watch what he built over 7 years crumbled like a sand castle at a stroke of a wave. Franchise players don't leave their teams, they ride it out. Michael Jordan never left. Magic Johnson never left. Kobe Bryant never left (no Shaq, no Phil Jackson, no playoffs... He still stayed, look at him now)
As a fan of the game I'm also disappointed and fear that we won't have the same excitement watching Lebron play, because his legacy is now downgraded to the like of Scottie Pippen. By moving to Miami Lebron decided to play sidekick, a supporting role to D. Wade instead of leading his hometown to a Championship.
If Lebron really wanted to leave to have a shot at a championship, Chicago for me was the best choice. A young and energetic team in Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose, plus the addition of veteran Carlos Boozer had to be the best core team you could dream for. Lebron went for the obvious, his buddies/Olympic teammates.
It's going to be an interesting NBA season, especially that first game back in Cleveland for Lebron. Boston and Chicago are still my favorite to win the East. Miami is still working on rebuilding their team since as of right now they only have one or two players under contract. Michael Beasley was shipped to Minnesota for a future draft pick to clear some cap room to accomodate the three Super stars salaries.
At the end of the day, Lebron had to team up with Wade and Bosh to have a chance at beating my Lakers. It's not going to happen anytime soon. We are going for the Three-Peat next season. His image took a drastic hit, he lost a lot of respect from fans. He's going to have to prove us right.
Get it right next time.
