Mattel Hover Board on eBay

With all the media hype surrounding Nike Hyperdunk 2015 (I NEED these in my life!), a number of movie props from cult 80's movie "Back To The Future Part II" have made their way onto eBay.

First up, a fully working prop of the Nike Mag - the fictional sneaker worn by Marty McFly, which inspired the Hypderdunk 2015 colourway and has also been subject to many fans demanding a full release. The shoe sold for $5,300 USD.



The more collectable prop, however is the Mattel Hover Board. Unlike other props made of styrofoam which haven't held up well due to the fragile material and thrashing they got on set, this Hover Board is made of wood and metal, complete with a texturized paint job.

For a starting bid of $30,000 USD, you'd be expecting that board to actually hover....



I might actually spend the whole of tomorrow watching the entire trilogy.

Triumvir x Street Fighter - Shadaloo "Crime Syndicate" Pack

Some new shots from the upcoming collabo between extra dope streetwear brand (and also my sponsor!) Triumvir & Capcom have been released.

For the upcoming Comic-Con and release of Street Fighter IV, a quickstrike pack was created based on the Shadaloo crime syndicate boss M. Bison/Vega (depending on your region). Two versions are available including Vega/Bison colours (red/royal blue/gold) which will be sold at Comic-Con as well as a Triumvir (black/white) version. Both styles include t-shirts and an Estate LA fitted with limited runs of 200 pieces for each.

I was a huge Street Fighter II fan as a kid....I need these in my life!

ALIFE x Q-Tip "Lyrics To Go"

Following on from the ALIFE x Nas collaboration, ALIFE are at it again.

Paying homage to A Tribe Called Quest by featuring Q-tip’s lyrics from the track "Excursions" on the front, the black and white tees carry ALIFE’s logo on the back as well as the name of Tribe’s classic song “Lyrics to Go”.

The tees have been released in conjunction with ATCQ's reformation and performance at the Rock The Bells Tour. Now we just need to wait for the new Q-Tip & Tribe LPs to drop!

Clipse Presents: Re-Up Gang "Money"

From the upcoming Clipse/Re-Up Gang project, due out August 5th....

Stream/Download

BONUS! Here's the music video for "The Funeral"....You're not a proper Clipse fan if you don't know about this joint....



Still sounds fresh even after 9 years....

Kardinal Offishall Feat. Clipse "Set It Off" (Music Video)

(Kardy x Clipse) + Sick Beat = Fire!

Seriously, "Not 4 Sale" is going to be one of the highlights of the year for Hip Hop.

Come to think of it, I'm actually looking forward to this (as well as Skillz' "Million Dollar Backpack") more than "Carter 3".

BONUS! For those who slept on the "Limited Time Only" mixtape, grab it here.

Young Jeezy Feat. Kanye West "Put On" (Music Video)

Rhymefest "El Che" Leaks

So the story goes that 'Fest left his iPod lying around (like you do) and someone swiped it, with what appears to be "El Che" in CDQ.

2 things: First up, leaving your iPod around for someone to snatch isn't a wise thing, but to have your to-be-released album on there? Surely that should have been kept well away from everyone and anyone?! Ahh well....

Anyways...Two cuts have already been posted up for grabs: Bring It Back & Real N***a Quotes (Prod. DJ Premier).

Get them quickly while they're still up!

DJ AKD "Revenge Of The Sheep" Routine (Video)

Wow! AKD kills it with this 3 deck juggle, using the new "Revenge Of The Sheep" battle record from Le Jad & Ordoeuvre.

Very inspiring.

Nike Air Yeezy - Black/Grey Colourway

A more detailed look at the highly anticipated Nike Air Yeezy - a Black/Grey colorway sporting a leather and suede combination, which is believed to be just a sample.

Still no news on Nike regarding release dates, etc....Will we ever get our hand on them, or could it be just an exclusive thing for Mr. West himself, such as his custom Louis Vuitton backpack? I hope not.

Lil Wayne "Real Rap"

New Lil Wayne for ya'll....

Well, when I say 'new', it seems to be an old freestyle ("Cry Out"), over an existing Streetrunners beat that Wayne's spat on before. Confusing, eh?

Worth checking out....

Nike Air Pegasus '89

Nike are re-releasing another runner from their vaults - The Air Pegasus '89

Nice to see other models like this gettting a retro, rather than sticking with the Air Max 1, Air Max 90, or the rather horrible Air Max Lite.

Scheduled for a 2009 release.

N.E.R.D. "Spazz" (Music Video)

Production's hot, but I'd rather hear someone like Kardinal Offishall spit on this. Especially since he can murk it when he spits double time.

I also gotta LOL @ Semtex's comments about the 'Teapot" line....so true!

DJ Noize & Gorilla Zoe "Unleash The Beast" Mixtape

ALIFE x Nas Collaborative Tee & Lighter

ALIFE has collaborated with Mr. Jones to produce this rather dope t-shirt & lighter set, which is set to drop this Tuesday (15th July), alongside his new album.

Good luck grabbing them!

Rocsi Walks off 106 & Park (On Air)

Us Brits only got BET on Sky Digital back in February, so I was happy to finally get 106 & Park over here, rather than Youtube it all the time.

This all went down last Friday. I guess the banter went too far....

Skillz "Million Dollar Backpack" Preview

So the kind folks at Okayplayer have posted up a preview of Skillz' new album "The Million Dollar Backpack", which is due for release on 22nd July.

I first got introduced to Skillz via the "Ghostwriter" joint he put out back in 2000 on Rawkus. Since then (and after going back and checking out "From Where???") he's grown to be one of my favourite rappers of all time. I'm really looking forward to checking out this album in full. For me, "Confessions of a Ghostwriter" wasn't the strongest of albums (most of it was made up of existing tracks from the unreleased "I Ain't Mad No More" LP from 2002), but from what I've heard on this preview, "The Million Dollar Backpack" looks like it could be a classic....maybe even a contender for the Hip hop album of '08 (sorry Weezy!).

Stream/Download the preview here.

Preview Tracklisting:

01. Million Dollar Backpack (Intro)
02. Where I Been
03. Don’t Act Like You Don’t Know (Featuring Freeway)
04. So Far So Good (Featuring Common & Talib Kweli)
05. Sick
06. (For Real) He Don’t Own Me
07. My Phone
08. Yeah Ya Know It
09. Hold Tight (Featuring The Roots)
10. Crazy World
11. I’m Gon Make It
12. Be Alright
13. Hip Hop Died
14. Preaching To The Choir

Red Cafe "Eviction Notice" Mixtape (Download)

Red Cafe's new mixtape. Packed full of heat, from the "Dolla Bill" Remix (the original version featured on the rather dope 'Co-Op' album with DJ Envy), to some sick freestyles over "A Milli" & "Roc Boyz".

Highly recommended - don't sleep!
