    My girl Lary dropped her first video today and I’m so excited abut it! The video is so dope and I’m just really fuckin proud of her. The song is amazing, she looks incredible as always…and I really don’t know what else I can tell you. Trust me when I say that this lady is going to put Germany back on the map. 

    At 3:09 you can see our signature dance move. I cracked up when I saw her do it. LARY IS EVERYTHING. #futuredeutschewelle

    Me on the left and one of the most inspirational women I have the pleasure of knowing, Mdot on the right. The picture was taken at the Precinct 5 store in the center of Amsterdam around March 2012. Unfortunately the Patta guys closed the store a while ago.

    I met Vasco a longer time ago in Amsterdam when he was working at W+K with my homie Massaer. Given his job position you already know he must be extremely talented, but now that he’s showing more and more of his own artwork there’s really no doubt whatsoever. This picture above is just fascinating.Yes, we all have seen body painting before but there’s something really special about this one.  You should watch the making of video. I just remembered that I once modeled for him for an animation he worked on, so in case that’s interesting to anyone…peep me and my oversized jumper at the end of this video.

    So I’m just gonna go ahead and put you on to D E N A, who is pretty much the hottest artist out of Berlin right now. When her video Cash Diamond Rings Swimming Pools blew up last year I was kinda hesitant though. I mean you can see right away that she’s just doing what she wants to do, which is dope, but the song just wasn’t that great to me. Catchy yes. But it kinda stopped there. Now her new video for Thin Rope, I’ve played 5 times over the day already. First off the beat is great, I love the hook and how fuckin cool are the dance break downs? 

    At the end of the day you can see that she’s doing her own damn thing and I can only applaud her for that. I really wanna see her win at this point. Hopefully we’ll see much more of D E NA in the future.

    Oh and shout out to Nike from This is Jane Wayne for always looking so freakin cute on camera!

    Aziz Ansari gets candid about love: “elusive and sadly ephemeral”

    image

    Best interview you’re going to read all week. I love that Aziz mentioned Sherry Turkle, her work is outstanding. I’m thinking about this topic a lot too. We all gravitate towards ‘eternal love’, but at the same time you think about how realistic that really is in our fast paced world. I guess we all know about texting rules but we definitely haven’t out-smarted the system yet.

    I’m in love with movies that take place in the 60s. Maybe it’s me, but I feel like directors pay an awful lot of attention to detail in these films. Jayne Mansfield’s Car definitely falls into that category. I features some amazing cinematography. I just wish Billy Bob Thornton, who directed the movie (who knew he had it in him) had embraced certain moments more. Some frames are so pretty but gone so quickly as well. The plot itself is really unique too. The movie does a great job at showcasing certain archetypes that everybody can find in their own family.

    I know I was skeptic after hearing Suit & Tie. I just didn’t feel it like that. And to be honest, it made me question where JT was going with this new album. THIS on the other hand…lawd. Instant repeat. I don’t know about you but I’m going to religiously listen to the entire Sunday.

    Red Bull Music Academy premiered their Hashtag series today, shining light on contemporary R&B artists like How To Dress Well, Miguel, Zodiac and drumroll…  Rochelle Jordan. This is one of the things we did back in September when I was in LA. Shout out to Pinboard Blog who’ve been so amazing putting this together and supporting us the way they do. Also, respect to RBMA for being such visionaries and giving us a platform to talk about what we’re trying to do. This is way bigger than music. We’re really trying to do something different.

    […] and in essence go back to celebrating talent and not people who gimmick up one song on pro tools and suddenly they’re a fucking genius. I’m sorry, history has never supported that. And I don’t care if we’re talking about the 1600s, or the 1800s or the 1950s. The talented do, in essence define the aesthetic movement. You’re seeing it in the blogger world, you’re seeing it in the movie world and it will happen in the music world, but we gotta come out of the dark ages here.
