Queen Latifah, Common & PS22 Chorus "CHAMPION"

Queen Latifah and Common are known for being "giving" celelbrities, so to see this video doesn't surprise me. Both of the music/ movie stars, who are appearing together in the upcoming movie, Just Right, got together with a bunch of young kids from P.S. 22 at MSR Studios in Manhattan and they sung Queen Latifah's song "Champion." It's great to see Common and Queen Latifah taking time out of their hectic schedules to spend time with the children. Check out this amazing performance below!

Bone Art by Francois Robert: Stop the Violence

This incredible Bone Art by Francois Robert displays the iconography of both weapons and religion, the tools used in war and the common themes that divide the enemies. Robert’s collection of bone art, titled “Stop the Violence”, uses human bones to recreate guns, grenades, knives and tanks as well as the symbols of the major Western religions. The images are stunning, white bone on a black background with striking detail. Ribs, hands, shoulder blades and vertebrae are aligned to create visuals that are unmistakeably familiar. Francois Robert’s art is at once beautiful and horrifying, a telling collection of art.

BIG SEAN feat. DRAKE "Made"

I was waiting for these two to get in the studio and make some fire. They finally laid some ill music down and I can't say I didn't expect this because Big Sean is Kanye's artist and Drake is always working with Mr. West. These are two artist that are unbelievably crazy with the bars and swag. I'm really feeling this new joint and the beat is dope too. It's not a radio record but definitely Ipod worthy. Take a listen and leave comments.

Plastic Lamps from d-VISION at Salone del Mobile

The Poly Lamp (white lamp)
The inspiration for the Poly lamps was the randomly ’sculptured’ polyethylene leftovers which are created on a daily basis, a mass amount of plastic is spilled on the factory floor after each batch work.

A semi craft and semi industrial process served to reverse-engineer those ‘creations’. Using polyethylene from an industrial extruder and hand worked craftsmanship, creates a unique shape and textures to each piece of the Poly lamp series.

Materials: Polyethylene, metal frame
Technique: Extrusion combined with hand made technique.

The Organic Plastic Lamp (red lamp)
The light fixture is composed of polypropylene beads which are shaped by using a unique technique of external heating. Heating the different areas creates unique forms that illustrate the process of consolidation and reflect real biological processes. This manufactuing process generates a series of light fixtures which appearance is strongly related, but will never be identical, hence emphasizing the difference between an industrial product to an artistic one.

The Desert Wing House by Brent Kendle

Programmatically the home is split into two zones, one a 4300 sf. residence for the owners, a couple requiring a very low maintenance lifestyle, and another zone for their extensive family and friends who visit the Arizona sunshine often.

While much of the surrounding homes echo themes from distant European cultures of centuries past this home speaks to its specific place in the Sonoran Desert. Forms derived not by the constraints of style but by programmatic and climatic forces shape this home. Solid walls of earth and concrete block out the harsh desert sun as well as views of surrounding structures. An almost invisible line of glass, shaded by deep overhangs, breaks down the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living, focusing on near and distant views of nature as well as the wonder of city lights in the distant valley. Planar roof forms are folded to catch rain water and disperse it to surrounding vegetation





Materials are chosen not just for their inherent beauty and low maintenance but for their indigenous qualities as well. Copper, mined in the Arizona desert, clad bold roof forms which appear to float above indoor and outdoor living spaces. Rammed Earth walls made of soil excavated from the site rise up from the desert floor echoing the forms of the surrounding mountain range. The result is a home that is truly in harmony with it’s site and is expressive of it’s unique place in the world.

JAY-Z "Maybach Music 2" (Lost Verse)

It looks like Jay-Z dropped a verse on Rick Ross' "Maybach Music 2." He was on the first "Maybach Music" that Rick Ross did, so it's only right that he gets on the second one. Luckily for the other artists on this track, Hov wasn't on the single, as he definitely put everyone to shame. Listen for the dis to Ricky's 57s Maybach (although Jay claims it isn't a shot).

Michael Jordan’s Private Jet

Here are some spy-shots of Michael’s private jet, colored up in a Tar Heels-inspired white and Carolina blue. The aircraft is noted with a N236MJ – 23 for his jersey number, 6 for his championships – and a Jumpman logo on the rear fin. What goes on inside Jordan’s private jet at 30,000 feet is anyone’s guess, but what we do know from a look at the outside is that Jordan travels in mid-air with style, both on and off the court.
