Runaway is story of a phoenix played by lingerie model Selita Ebanks who falls down from the cosmos. She is rejected for her differences while on earth is eventually torn away from West and returns to her own realm. “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” is set to release November 22nd.

The music sounds amazing if these background beats are on his new album. Enjoy

Oral/Visual History by The Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers is the iconic band's audacious look back at their thirty-year odyssey—in their own words and accompanied by more than 300 spectacular photos and ephemera. Intimate, breathtaking, and outrageous, this is the essence of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This book comes out next Tuesday, I am so excited for it. Nothing new has come from the band since 2007 and I'm looking forward to getting back in the RHCP mood. Price: $40.

Brandon Flowers - Only The Young

This song is on heavy rotation on my iPod and thought I'd share the video as well. Love this song, the voice, the simplicity of the music, and the visuals in the video create a sort of trance.

Eminem on 60 Minutes


(CBS) His real name is Marshall Mathers, but you probably know him as Eminem. He is the biggest selling artist of the past decade, earning 11 Grammies, one Oscar, and mountains of criticism for lyrics that are as profane as they are poetic.

Whether you are a fan of rap or not, Eminem's life story is an extraordinary tale of success, against all odds - a story he hasn't talked much about until now.

"60 Minutes" and CNN's Anderson Cooper met up with him in his home town Detroit, in order to find out how a white kid who never made it past the ninth grade was able to propel himself to the top of a predominantly African American art form.

Jay-Z shows the Rest of the Forbes 400 How to Dress


The most delightful thing in the Forbes 400, our annual ranking of the 400 richest people in America? The photograph of dapper rapper Jay-Z and billionaire investor Warren Buffett (No. 2 on our list) drinking strawberry malts and chatting about business, success and philanthropy with Steve Forbes. Perhaps Jay-Z picked up some investing tips during the time he spent with Buffett, or maybe the Oracle of Omaha picked up some of the hip hop mogul’s sartorial savvy. Come to think of it, most of the billionaires on our list (ehem, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg) could learn a thing or two about dressing from Jay-Z–who really stepped up his game for his meeting with Buffett. Let’s take a look.

I want to point out that Jay-Z does not look at all trendy here. He is wearing a classic suit in a conservative color–navy blue–that is not cut too slim (as is the fashion now) but that fits him, a simple detail that manages to elude even the wealthiest businessmen. The first fashion lesson to glean from Jay-Z: Get a tailor.

Second, show some cuff. Notice the length of the jacket sleeve: he’s showing about an inch–perhaps a bit more–of his white shirt cuff underneath. I can’t tell if he’s wearing cufflinks, but if he is, extra points to him.

Third, wear a pocket square. I don’t know why more men don’t wear pocket squares: They can easily individualize and spruce up any old suit. And they’re so versatile–they can make you look polished and professional or dandy-ish and outrageous, depending on your preference. Jay-Z’s is a vibrant Dutch blue, like his tie, but not in the same pattern–ties and pocket squares should compliment, but not match, each other.

And last, I love the tie. It’s not what I would pick out for someone to wear, but it has a lot of personality without being overly loud. The fact that the tie is blue plaid and has some navy to tie it down to the navy suit helps. Again, Jay-Z shows that he doesn’t care so much about trends by opting for a wider tie. But the look is great on him, and it helps him stand out from the crowd.

So, billionaires, businessmen, aspiring media and entertainment moguls. Look at this photo of Jay-Z: study it, memorize it, tape it to your closet door, learn from it.

K'naan - Wavin' Flag Live (World Cup Anthem)

In light of FIFA 11 being released in a couple days I had to post this video, K'naan live in South Africa performing his hit song Wavin' Flag for the World Cup. Anyone who has played 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa has heard this song, it's the song at the start of the game. This is a catchy tune with a great message, enjoy.

Nike: BOOM

Nike has just released a series of new commercials, Nike: BOOM. These ads have a wide variety of celebrities and athletes filling them. Everyone from Rick Ross to Bo Jackson find spots in these ads, also included, Tim Tebow, Robinson Cano, and Ndamukong Suh.These are pretty sweet commercials, fast action, quick cuts, and semi-entertaining. Look for more of these to be released in the near future. Also, there is a full-length, minute-or-so long video, that sort of encompasses all these together. Look for me to post that soon.

Viva La Hova: Remastered and Expanded


Motivation co-owner Mick Boogie and good friend Terry Urban just released a REMASTERED version of their classic mixtape Viva La Hova! This mixtape came out a two years ago and was one of their biggest mixtapes ever, as it got critical acclaim and hundreds of thousands of downloads. Throughout the CD, they produced original beats and remixed, mashed-up, and created new tracks that feature both Jay-Z and Coldplay. Since Jay-Z and Coldplay just announced that they will be performing on New Years Eve 2011 together and will be integrating their songs during that performance, Mick & Terry decided to drop the remastered version of the mixtape now rather than later in the year when they were planning to do so.  It contains two new bonus songs as well as the original mixes re-mastered and without their signature drops over the songs.....click the link underneath the tracklist below to download and enjoy!

Cee Lo Green - FUCK YOU



The song is catchy, funny, and entertaining and here is the visually-stunning music video to go along with it. It has a lot of cool artwork crossed into the actual video which creates a neat story that's hilarious from start to finish. Look for Cee-lo's album, The Lady Killer, out on November 9th.
