Rolls Out

Check out this customized Rolls Royce we stumbled on via Mare139. The job was commissioned by David LaChapelle, and painted by ENSE. This is stunting on a whole nother level. (more »)

Taking A Toll

So apparently, Boston toll collectors are no longer allowed to pack heat, which is weird, because I always thought “highway robbery” died with the Old West?

 

Collateral Damaj

Now we don’t often reference the goings on in the dirty dirty, but there’s major hip hop fest coming up that just may prove that everyone from the south doesn’t hate real hip hop! Atlanta’s A3C Festival, taking place from March 20-22 has some sick line-ups for each of it’s 3 days and ATLiens can be especially psyched about the triumphant return of Jeru The Damaja! Peep the rest of the power packed line-ups after the click through. (more »)

Kissing Cousins

By now you should already know about the remix skills of Cousin Cole and Pocketknife. Coincidentally, the two have just released an EP of folk and indie rock remixes on Flamin’ Hotz. What we found especially dope about this project are the limited edish vinyl pressings illustrated by Nathan Fox. Above is the A side, but check out the B side after the click through, themed around the magic that are gypsy breasts. (more »)

In the grand scheme of things, the pump really aint shit compared to the technology of today’s basketball sneakers, but until any shoe company can recreate the versatility (performance x flyness) of the throwbacks, re-issues like these are much appreciated. (more »)

 

The Streets Are Talking

For a certain generation, the Street Fighter series (read: Street Fighter II) defined unabashed video game greatness. And while some of it’s later offshoots didn’t quite live up to earlier versions, it looks like the gang is actually getting back together. As someone whose attention to fighting games has decreased substantially over the years, this just might be what it takes to get ya boy to put the gloves back on.

 

Brother Starks

We all know Ghostface drops more gems than Jacob the Jeweler buzzed from a 12-pack of Red Bull, but the lessons P.Tone delivers often come as fleeting moments in skits, verses, or commercials. In the blink of an eye you could miss the science. Luckily for all you knuckleheads, Ghost has released The World According To Pretty Toney, a neat little package of all GFK’s mighty (healthy) wisdom. (more »)

Sean Don

The last time we gave props to the kid Sean V, all we had was a short series of amazing photos, but in the latest installment of Mass Appeal TV, Carl Weston shadows Sean on some of his underground exploits. Check out the raw footage, playing now on the video player to the right!
