Here is the holiday season lookbook for Play Cloths. They managed to keep it simple, yet still present the Play Cloths look. I like the subtle, simple color schemes, and the flow of the entire collection.

Northskull !

Headlines - Drake.
Drake really shows why he is one of the best rappers around with this track, fitting titled 'Headlines.'
Drake truly has been making headlines with songs like Dreams Money can Buy, which are off his upcoming album, Take Care. Boi-1da and Noah '40' Shebib are the two responsible for the bouncy beat that is behind the smooth, well though out lyrics of Aubrey 'Drake' Graham. Drake will be making even more Headlines for sure when he drops his sophomore album, Take Care.
Proceed - Wiz Khalifa (Ft. Curren$y & Big Sean)
Wiz Khalifa has dropped what is now the Fifth Song he has dropped in the last five days. The song 'Proceed' is just another product of extensive recording sessions between Wiz, big Sean and Curren$y. The three artists will be dropping a collaborative mixtape shortly this week.
Mac Miller - Best Day Ever [Video]
I've been following Mac Miller for a really long time now, posting Mac Miller videos, mixtapes and interviews here and there. This video sort of gives you the feeling of watching Mac grow up, from being a toddler, to being am adult. The Pittsburgh born rapper has started to create a lot of hype, releasing the Mixtape Best Day Ever a few months back. Mac Miller's music has progressed, and he has recently started on a sleeve up his arm. Anyway, here is the really well done video for Best Day Ever by Mac Miller.
Big Sean x Interview Magazine!
Recently after Big Sean dropped his 1st album "Finally Famous," Interview Magazine sat down with Sean for an interview. The GOOD Music Signed rapper goes on to talk about how he views Jay-Z & KanYe West as his mentors, and more.
Alex Chapman: The crowd went wild when Kanye came out [to perform the song "Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay"]. I saw Jay-Z was there too.
Big Sean: Yeah, that was crazy. I’ve put in a lot of fucking work, man. I take pride in it—I do it for my fan base. I used to ride to school listening to Kanye and Jay-Z. And then having them fools at my show? You know? They were my idols.

With all the material you’ve come out with via mixtapes, it’s crazy to think that this is really just the beginning. What’s been the difference between the music you’ve made in the past and making an official, debut album?
There are a lot of sample clearings. Because of that, I couldn’t put out some of the things I wanted to put out. I was really mad about it, but the album is still a really great body of work, and I’m so proud of it. Also, with a mixtape, you can just go in and don’t have to worry about having a single or a hit record on it. You can just have 40 bar verses if you really want. But when you are doing a commercial release, you have to make music that you can play around the world—at concerts, barbeques, stadiums, whatever the occasion might be. It’s definitely a different process, but the thing for me is just to do it well. I can’t wait to use what I learned on this album and apply it to the next album.

Everybody knows you have a great relationship with Kanye, but I’m curious about your correspondences with Jay-Z.
He’s a great guy. He’s like Kanye’s big bro—he’s family. We’ve had dinners where we just kick it with each other and talk and I just soak up knowledge from him. Once, we were in the studio and we just talked for hours—it was just me, him, Kanye and I think NO ID was there, and I was just thinking “Damn, how did I get here?” Jay-Z is definitely a person who doesn’t give a shit and, from an OG’s standpoint, lets you know if you made a mistake so you don’t make another.

With so many big stars helping shape your career, I have to ask: where do you see yourself in five years?
That’s a good question. I think I just want to be remembered for my story and as an example to always move on the impulse of your heart, and not give a fuck what people think. When I graduated from high school, the teacher said I was throwing my life away following music, and the same teacher invited me back to speak at the school. I don’t say that to brag, I just want to be an example. I never want to look back on life and say I wish I did something, and I don’t want anybody else to do that. I want my music to and serve as a message for this—my music to ride to, smoke to, have sex to, cry to, and just live to.

Drake - Marvins Room [Video]

BMW M3 CRT !
BMW integrated carbon fiber technology to the M3, to make what is in my opinion the coolest sports car of the year. The carbon fiber, which is manifested through the hood gives the M3 a 75% weight savings. The only Con of the BMW M3 CRT : it costs $185,000.

LRG 2011 Summer Lookbook
LRG is one of my favorite brands. They did a great job at presenting that summer feel, with cargo shorts, button downs, tank tops and short sleeves. These sunny weather clothes have a more laid-back, contemporary feel, and LRG did a great job creating this sneak peek to their 2011 summer lookbook. The pictures feature rapper Freddie Gibbs and Dj Double-O (from kidz in the hall), as well as a few members from the LRG skate team.
2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Commercial
yup, so here is the commercial for the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador Lp700-4. The next step? somehow earning enough money to buy one. Seriously though, the new lambo is mean, and the commercial is pretty sick, as far as car commercials go. If you wanna see more, than click here....

Bugatti 16C Galibier
Bugatti has decided to transform this once concept car, into reality! The sleek, new, 4-door sedan will retail for 1.4 Million Dollars USD.
Honestly, i wish i had 1.4 million dollars to blow on a car. Either that, or i wish that Bugatti would make a innovative, modern looking car that the average person could actually afford. (:

Drake's New Year Resolution.
First off, i want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I hope everyone has a wonderful year, and preforms to their full potential throughout the year. Remember, the Sky isn't the Limit, Because their is No limit.
A Common tradition, When the New Year rolls around, is making a resolution, or a change for yourself. It can be anything from losing weight to quitting a bad habit, to finding love.
Here is what Aubrey Graham has chosen as his New Years Resolution, and i think Drake has the best one out of any other rapper by far. He continuously proves he is a down to earth, respectable human being.
"Well, we don't have Resolutions we've just got Reservations. I try to live my life right every day. Then again I can't really say that, i've gotta be honest, that's a line from the album. I do actually have resolutions."
"It's crazy, i really had a moment seeing some old friends and being around my family. I was just like, I do pride myself on being a humble guy that is still connected to his fans and still every much with the people. But I just wanna get even better than that, as challenging as it is, I just want to be a better guy, a nicer guy. I really want people, when I leave this earth, to say that was a great man, that was a great guy, he was always kind. But that takes a lot because there's a lot of shit that can frustrate you in this position but that's one of my things man. I just want to live this year, not getting caught up in certain things, even when people frustrate me still shake everybody's hand. I remember when I use to be that kid just coming up and I use to go to everyone's dressing room and say hello and shake hands and tell them what songs I love. Now you get to that point where it becomes like clockwork and you kind of just walk in and walk out and there's something that bothers me about that. I want to be a little more personable like I haven't made it and it's just business. I wanna get back to me before, before all of this whirlwind. That's my resolution."
