AYO Technology - L.E.D. Emoticon Mask

How cool is this? According to Engadget:

Since most people spend their days behind computers expressing emotions via colons and parentheses anyway, the Digital Media Design Dept at Hongik University figured they'd just be done with it all when they created the "Mask of Emotion." It displays LED emoticons that supposedly react to external stimuli, such as a smile when the wearer shakes hands with someone. Its creators say it was designed to hide real emotions and -- literally -- mask them with whatever is being presented on the mask.

You gotta love the Japanese. They make everything cooler. Just ask Kanye, Pharrell or Lupe. Foxin with the Japanese these days is like what getting shot did for your music career back in 03.

I'm low key mad at the Japanese tho...How is it they can make this cool gadget, but not my custom giant robot suit yet?! If you can make a helmet that reads my thoughts, how hard is the next logical progression of a robot armor suit that reads my thoughts? Let's get on that...you don't wanna see me pull my yen stacks out of your economy. We don't need that kind of drama.

Seeing Sounds drops June 10th....COP THAT

I Don't Want to Hear It

I am in no way celebrating the Laker's loss to the Celtics last night. Certain individuals will say that Boston's taking it in a sweep. Get real. The only thing I will say is Paul Pierce put on a great show for the Boston stans. Going down in the second half with a knee injury and coming back to the game to drop 2 consecutive 3s was pure NBA magic. Even Laker fans had to feel that.

At any rate, it must be noticed that LA was battling all night in Beantown, and the Celtricks had a tough time putting us away.

Jesus, KG, and Piru: Just understand that when you come to the Staples, it ain't gonna get no easier fellas. I know it will be a series to remember.

Politic It? YES WE CAN - Nas on Obama F. Baby

Nas has high expectations for ya boi Obama F. Baby. According to MTV.com:

“There never been a president to address the slaughter of young black people by this country’s police. When your government’s police are killing one section of people, that’s genocide. There’s never been a president to even acknowledge it. You don’t acknowledge that? That’s a big thing President Obama has to recognize when he gets in office. I’m five presidents in … and I ain’t seen nothing happen to stop the police murders on young, black people,” he added. “Why would I believe in the system? With that being said, I think Barack can cure that disease and help cure the country. Not just in that area with us blacks, but also with all Americans. Women are getting treated like dogs. You know how hard it is for a woman to prove she was raped? The system is warped. They throw young guys — who’s starving — in jail just trying to survive on the streets. Throw them in jail forever. Young kids, 18 years old, executed in Texas. Yet, child predators get to come home and do it again. I think it’s so much our president can do. [Obama] seems like a human being. I say that because a lot of presidents don’t seem like human beings. They seem like straight-up businessmen who care about nothing but the business. Nah, you gotta care about the people.”

Nas has always been one of my favorite rappers because of his political consciousness. I liken him to the Gil Scott Heron of Hip Hop. If only other rappers would step their politic game up.

Now that we have a brother heading to the white house, we can finally stop seeing trifflin' nigga-$#!+ like this.


Or this.




Now pump that imeem track. NaS is like...

Daps.

YES WE CAN!!!

Dayum.

According to a TEXT MESSAGE sent to Perez Hilton, it seems that Eddie Winslow has been layin his goon hand down on his (*ahem*) fiance, Karrine Stephans lately.

She says:

"It's Karrine. U have to help me. My boyfriend just tried to run over me with his car. [I] Just made a police report. In August, he placed me in a choke hold at a strip club on my birthday. There's a report and photos of that. There was another choking I never reported but is now being investigated. I lied to the city attny to save his ass but I'm DONE. He'll kill me if I go on with this. YES…Eddie Winslow from Family Matters! I have to give you this story. Pls!"

I wonder if those Lil Wayne "homie-lover-friend" conversations she and Weezy openly bragged about in Vibe Magazine way back had anything to do with this?

She was gettin pretty gully, talkin to Wayne on the phone while her and Eddie lived together. Why anyone would wanna wife this one is beyond me...she's had more laps put on her than 12 Daytona 500s. Besides, its not like Eddie's got the Pringles to blow into the wind on her anyways...I know its 2008, but Hoes still=/=Housewives. Sorry, but if this Mogul's Cuffing for Life, its power couple or nothing.

Still its no excuse to use Karrine as terrain to test the Double R suspension on.



BTW, since when is Perez the hood solution for Domestic Violence?

Stepping into Tomorrow - Nike Vandal High Supreme EX Metal Pack

After scouring the Net for some new black/metallic hightops I can afford to wear more than once, (sorry Kriss Van Assche...you still fly) Nike finally drops the vandals i've been waiting for.

According to High Snobiety:

A lot of hype has already built up on the Metal Pack by Nike on the internet in the past months. The Vandal High Supreme EX. out of the pack will be released at Atmos on June 14th. The pack is actually not limited and part of the regular Nike Fall '08 collection, so you should not be worried about not getting your hands on them.

Nice to see Nike come with some Rock n Roll flavored kicks. Doesn't help that I am a Vandal Stan like none other. I know they're black and gold, so I don't want to hear any "Are you an Alpha?" questions. Unless you're a chick who's into Alphas.

YES WE CAN - Obama F. Baby Does It!!!

After a grueling campaign, Obama F. Baby is one foot in the White House! With endorsements from Jimmy Carter and other political big-shots, its safe to say we can finally keep it moving and square up against McKong for the fall.

Of course the Hillz won't concede, even though its eveident she needs to fall back graciously and start figuring out how to recoup all those campaign Pringles she owes.

HERE'S TO CHANGING HISTORY!

What Part of the Game is That? - Greg From the Real World Gets Saucy, Still Annoying

For the Ladies?

To a Bjork song no less.

I'd rather see Rick Ross dance to this topless.

Only Jamie Foxx could be saucier.

I knew I hated him for a reason.

GREG MUST DIE.

Firm Biz - The Famous Firm Article in OZONE Magazine

Peep the vision for what started the New Industry in Sickamore's latest article in OZone Magazine...

When I was introduced to The Famous Firm by my good friend Sterling, I was at a point where I believed the music game, much like our country, needed a change. I had previously worked for a record company that was a shrinking pie, and that could no longer viably provide quality support for quality artists.

It failed to face the challenges artists and executives were faced with in a changing industry. Now we have an opportunity to give artists back their own destinies and bring validation back to the grind each of us have in the game.

I myself have learned so much in my short time working with The Firm, and have met some incredible artists and have had the ability to work with many inspiring individuals. I've been fortunate enough to be a part of a new company and become of this new process.

The Firm=The New Democratic Party of the Game.

Logically following, Sickamore=Obama F. Baby of the game?

Thoughts???


As Phella would say,

Peace and Firm.

Moguls Need Love Too

Living the playboy life ain't easy. Your Pringles are always on display, and though you attract fame, fortune, and the occasional stan on a daily basis, gourgeous women are often a mainstay in the life of playboy billionaire Moguls. If you're a young swinging mogul and not fortunate enough to be on some Power Couple Steeze, don't worry. These chicks love the Pringles, and can never just have one. If your game is tight, you can be like one of these Steezy gents and be fortunate enough to have them around to keep your name in the papers and piss off jealous groupies.

Just keep it strapped or, you just might be cuffed for 18 on that Daddy Steeze. Or you can just light their house on fire like Fiddy and keep it moving.

Selita. If Cornball Cannon's stacks weren't enough, the brainpower behind that 5-head was. Puttin that grey matter to work got you close enough to Kanye to kiss the Pringles--and little Ye supposedly.

Alexis who?

Tracey Edmonds. After seeing you at brunch on Sunday with Lisa Raye in my hood, I was taken aback by your beauty. That and your tenacious appetite. No, not for blueberry pancakes and eggs, but for the Pringles. Not content with alimony from Babyface, you moved on to Saucie Murphy. Seeing that your lack of a penis netted you ZERO stacks (even after a stunt marriage/Sorry Scary Spice), you moved on to Diddy. After getting ran through like a banner on the 50 yardline of a Homecoming football game, you probably realized it would be good to go back to the drawing board after netting nothing and calling Diddy "a funny guy". (we already knew he was.)

We all know that your little brunch date with Lisa Raye that day was for her to drop jewels on you on how to snatch up a Mogul the RIGHT way. Mrs. Raye looked bomb in white as usual. She even footed the bill with her Royal Mogul's plastic. Just make sure you follow through this time and pick the right target, Tracey. I'm hearing The Rock's newly divorced Pringles are on the loose.

Make sure you close the deal this time. If not, have your people call my people. I tame cougars in my spare time.
