JUST BEAT IT!

LONG LIVE MICHAEL JACKSON.

KENNY FROM THE BLOCK

For an asian guy I should know more about cars than I do now, which is pretty much nothing. I've seen every Fast and the Furious movie unfortunately, but you don't have to be a gear head to enjoy American rally driver Ken Block whip around an airfield in a Subaru. Dude is amazing!

RESPECT THE ARCHITECHNIQUE: TINKER HATFIELD x NIKE AIR MAX 1

THROWBACK THURSDAY: JUICE (KNOW THE LEDGE)

This classic Eric B. & Rakim track comes from one of my favorite movies of all time, Juice starring Omar Epps and of course Tupac Shakur. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, just ask Bishop. hypeFEAST got the juice now!

THE CHEF BROADCASTING.. FROM WINNIPEG!

The one and only Raekwon was recently in Winnipeg if you were lucky enough to catch him performing live. While getting ready for his show he talks about the much anticipated Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 dropping September 8, and his plans of robbing the Bank of Montreal across the street from his hotel on the corner of Portage and Main. Love is love.

UFC 100: LESNAR/MIR ST-PIERRE/ALVES

This Saturday July 11th is UFC 100 where there will be two title fights on an overall stacked card. Thiago Alves will finally get his 'shitle tot' against GSP for the Welterweight Championship. Alves is coming off impressive defeats of Josh Koscheck and Matt Hughes, while Georges is of course coming off his win against Baby Jay. The Heavyweight Championship will also be up for grabs when champion Brock Lesnar takes on Frank Mir for the second time. Mir won the first contest by kneebar, but Lesnar will have the chance to avenge his loss and defend his title for the first time after raining hammerfists on Randy Couture for the belt.

Now enjoy my favorite clip from the welterweight division's number one contender, I think he meant to say 'great' and 'title shot'. Damn that Brazilian accent.

TUESDAY'S 10: MEGAN FOX

Megan Fox is an American actress best know for her role as Mikaela in the Transformers movies, and making guys across the world jealous of Shia LaBeouf even if it's only 2 hours at a time.

WHAT'S G? THIS IS..

Michael Jordan x Gatorade Cooler

As Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame induction looms, long time number 23 supporter Gatorade has assembled a special pack of six limited edition Gatorade bottles each telling the story of his legendary career starting off at his humble days at Laney High School, to his years rocking the Carolina Blue, to his time in the NBA on the court and behind the desk. Only 23 G coolers were made and inside the greatest thing Rubbermaid has ever produced includes a game towel, a special audio message from the man himself and an autographed bottle.

Then. Now. Forever. MJ23: G.O.A.T.

SAMPRAS 14, FEDERER 15

Now I wouldn't normally blog about tennis, but Roger Federer made history this morning at Wimbledon, winning his 15th Grand Slam title against Andy Roddick passing The King of Swing Pete Sampras on the all-time list. Federer and Roddick also set the record for the longest 5th set in Wimbledon history lasting 95 minutes.

Regardless, Andre Agassi >> everyone
(The hair and the kicks speak for themselves)

WE ARE LOSERS LASERS

When dealing with a new Lupe Fiasco project two things are constant, an intriguing concept followed up by a dope album. I've been waiting a while for this since The Cool. This short film entitled The L.A.S.E.R.S. Manifesto is the inspiration and direction Lupe seems to be going towards this time around. To say a rapper is 'keeping it real' is as cliche as you can get, but its refreshing to hear something not involving Patron, Halle Berry, swag(ger), or accompanied by some sort of dance.

The track in the background is the instrumental to Lupe's first single off LASERS entitled Shining Down featuring Matthew Santos which drops this Tuesday July 7th on iTunes. Check out Lupe's new site for more info.

TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE BALLIN'

I didn't know mediocrity cost 200 million dollars. One of my favorite reviews for the movie was, "On every level this movie is as bankrupt as GM". Uh burn! Even if the movie was a shot-for-shot of all the slow-motion Megan Fox running scenes played on loop for two hours, it wouldn't have made it any better but that's neither here nor there. What is here are 3 new kicks from the Nike House of Hoops paying tribute to Bumblebee of the Autobots and Soundwave & Megatron of the Decepticons. Luckily Nike didn't decide to make a pair of Zoom Mudflaps or Air Skids, the two most useless and rather offensive Autobots in the history of Transformers. Along with each pair of kicks comes a collectible box reminiscent to those of the Hasbro toys from the 80's.

Santa Clara University and Victoria's finest, 2 NBA MVP awards and the face of Canadian basketball.

3. Neil Young

Happy Canada Day!

D.O.A. (Death Of Autotune)
