Adidas Stan Smith Trefoil Mid Pack

Creating an offspring of the original Stan Smith, adidas works up a new pack of sneakers entitled the Stan Smith Trefoil Mid, from the adidas Comfort Pack. Both kicks feature a mid/hi cut, packaged with a 3D Trefoil side emblem and ultra light uppers. Two colorways were released, including an Eggplant Purple and Metallic Gold, both of which are now available through Schuh-You. These purple ones look shockingly similar to my purple Supras.

Drake Speaks On The Bet Awards And The "Every Girl" Controversy

In a recent Interview with Complex Magazine, here is what Drake had to say about the "Every Girl" performance on the BET awards with Lil Wayne's kids.

Complex: Speaking of basketball, you tore your ACL playing basketball, right?

Drake: Yes sir. It was intense casual, I guess [Laughs]. It was just a regular pick up game and I just took the wrong step.

Complex: Damn, that’s horrible. At the BET Awards this past Sunday, everyone was shocked to see you sitting on a stool. Did you ever think to yourself, Maybe I shouldn't perform?

Drake: That, actually—to be honest—was a terrible idea that I’ll never do to myself again. [Laughs] But I was being pressed from different areas to perform, and I think what really happened at the BET Awards is with the passing of Mike, the climate really changed, as far as the award show goes. I don’t think it called for us to perform “Every Girl” and “Always Strapped,” and I think it was an award show filled with tributes and music and these genuine heartfelt speeches. And to sort of climax out of a very tongue-in-cheek point, and then people misconstruing Wayne’s daughters and her friends coming out on stage…

Complex: Yeah, it really was an awkward moment.

Drake: Yeah, it was just timed very poorly and it definitely wasn’t planned like that, but with that being said, it is what is. I believe in Wayne and myself and it’s nothing we can’t bounce back from. To anyone who was offended, my personal apologies, it wasn’t intended to offend anybody.

Complex: Watching it at home, the BET Awards seemed to be a mess. Did it seem that way in person?

Drake: Well, I can only speak for my portion of it. I had asked for something very specific for my performance and none of those were met, as far as production value, so…

Complex: That’s BET for you…

Drake: I understood my situation, as far as sitting in one place, and figured there was a way to make it interesting. But when I looked around and noticed that none of that was going on [laughs], I kind of just realized that it was going to be a loss for me. But at the end of the day, it is what it is.

Behind The Scenes Preview of Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams" Video

Another video from Beyonce. This one actually might be hotter than Single Ladies & Diva. Lord knows this chick has been slacking with these lame ass videos. As usual she has swag jacked yet another star. Check the metalalic gold body suit and tell me she didnt jack Lady Gaga's style from the Paparazzi video. Click here and tell me if I'm lying. Smph!

No More Vibe Magazine???

Here’s the official statement from Vibe Editor Danyel Smith:

On behalf the VIBE CONTENT staff (the best in this business), it is with great sadness, and with heads held high, that we leave the building today. We were assigning and editing a Michael Jackson tribute issue when we got the news. It’s a tragic week in overall, but as the doors of VIBE Media Group close, on the eve of the magazine’s sixteenth anniversary, it’s a sad day for music, for hip hop in particular, and for the millions of readers and users who have loved and who continue to love the VIBE brand. We thank you, we have served you with joy, pride and excellence, and we will miss you.

Well, damn! This recession ain't no joke.....

Joe "Magic"

Yes, yes, and YES!!! Joe is back! I'm glad to see all the R7B stars of my childhood come out with new material! This is off of the new album, "Signature", in stores this July.

Mr. Hudson ft Kanye "Supernova"

I never understood why people were fascinated by actual supernovas or would compare themselves to one. The only reason why the star shines that brightly is because its dying. But this is a hot video and a hot song nonetheless.

Trey Songz "Anticipation" Mixtape

Trey Songz has yet again surprised his fans with another unexpected mixtape. This time it consists of entirely new material that just missed the cut for his new album, "Ready", scheduled to hit stores August 4th. Here is what Songz said via his blog:

Musically, I'm currently in a creative space like no other. I feel as though whenever a mic is put in front of me, I can do no wrong. At a time in the music industry where album sales are low, fans are fickle, inconsistent, or more into the various songs than they are the particular artist, I feel that I must give u a reason to love me. Embed in you a desire to love me and an appreciation for the music. I must show you that not only do I LOVE what I do but I also do it well.

So without further adue, here it is. Download here.

Kanye West x Louis Vuitton 2009 Spring/Summer Collection Photoshoot by La MJC

One of Paris’ most well-known cultural drivers, La MJC recently put together a stellar photo and styling shoot involving all the models of Kanye West’s upcoming sneaker collection with Louis Vuitton. The imagery goes a long way in terms of presenting the sneakers in the proper context as well as giving us real-world looks at the models which include The Don, The Jasper, The Mr Hudson. Many more pics can also be seen at La MJC’s Cool Cats blog. And real talk, I think some of these look better than the Air Yeezys [i.e. the gray ones with the hot pink bottom].
