U-N-I - Land Of The Kings

A few weeks ago I came across this video of "Land Of The Kings" by Inglewood rap duo, U-N-I. The duo, Thurzday (Yannick Koffi) and Y-O (Yonas Semere Michael), are one of the newest acts signed to Mountain Dew's virtual record label, Green Label Sounds, and they've gained a strong buzz in the underground hip-hop scene, garnering attention from the likes of XXL, Dazed & Confused, and MTV's hipster audience.

The video, itself, is a dope break away from the typical hip-hop aesthetic that showcases a tribal theme full of face painting, head pieces, neon sand and tribal drums. There's even an 80's inspired breakdown, to give it a modern twist. These guys clearly thought outside of the box and the song, itself, is pretty dope too. I appreciate it. I dig it...and you should too. Check out the video, below.

Victoria's Secret's Newest Angels... ;-)

Introducing, Victoria's Secret's newest line-up of lovely Angels; Emanuela De Paula, Chanel Iman, Lindsay Ellington, Candice Swanepoel and Rosie Hintington-Whiteley.

I've been waiting for De Paula to be signed for years now. This girl is absolutely stunning and her body is BANGING (for a model, that is)!! Good lawd it's BANGING!! Whoooh!!!

I honestly didn't think she had a Victoria's Secret body but I love this girl and I'm game for anything she does. Work that little bitty booty and those itty bitty titties.

....no comment.

This girl's face is HEAVENLY.

I've loved this girl ever since I saw her British Vogue Cover and Burberry campaign, last year. She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and those LIPS. Good GOD those lips. This girl is sexy...and that's an understatement.

You'll be seeing a lot of their faces (and boobies) for the next few years. I can't wait to see them strut down the Victoria's Secret runway, this December. Feathers, TITTIES and heels, galore!! Check out a few of the new Angel's in Victoria's Secret's new Miracle push-Up Bra commercial, below.

Parisienne - Bon Sexe Oral

My friend said this commercial promotes oral sex without a barrier method...hmmmm....I think it's kinda sexy.




Wear a dental dam/condom, people!!! Tee Hee ;-)

Wendell Lissimore - The New face Of Hermès

Rising male model, Wendell Lissimore, makes his print debut for Jean Paul Gaultier's Parisian fashion house, Hermès, in their Fall/Winter lookbook. The clothes aren't exactly my style but Wendell is a BEAUTIFUL man and I could look at him all day....and I will. Kudos to the kid for winning over Gaultier and providing a stunning rack (hee hee) for his clothes.

I love the fit of Nico Malleville's suit

I LOVE this yellow sweater. Someone buy it for me...Now!!....please?

Method Man - All I Need

Method Man's "I'll Be There For You/You're All I Need to Get By" is arguably the greatest love song in Hip-Hop and R&B history. It's Hip-Hop's definitve love anthem and any rap fan will swear by it. But I honestly prefer the lesser known album version, "All I Need," over the Mary J. Blige remixed versions. Out of the three that were created this one is grittier, darker and it hits harder than the others. But the idea of love behind it is never overshadowed by it's darker edge.

Method Man pushes all fluff aside and packs his song full of sincerity and gratitude for his love,"Back when I was nothing you made a brother feel like he was something / That's why I'm wit cha to this day boo, no fronting / Even when the sky's were grey / You would rub me on my back and say, 'baby it'll be okay'

As he shows, it's the love not the romance that it's important. And their honesty about it is what sustains them, "You're all that I need, I'll be there for you / If you keep it real with me, I'll keep it real with you."

A song like this will easily continue to stand the test of time. And a love like his can stand, eternal.





And for those of you that just CAN'T do without a Meth & Mary collabo you can check out the RZA remix HERE and the P. Diddy remix HERE


*Side Lipton: I love it when he says, "QUEEN with a crown that be down for whatever." YAES!!

Dominique + Shawn = Fe2O3 - Red's Iron Force

Red models Dominique Hollington and Shawn Sutton have made it onto the pages of 10 Men Magazine in their editorial "Fe2O3 Venetian Red." I swear, these two are some of the sexiest men I've seen. They dominate each photo and exude strength, angst and sex appeal, reminiscent of the 90's male Supermodels.

Doesn't this look like 90's Tommy Hilfiger or Nautica ad? Remember when Tommy Hilfiger was THE shit??

Dominique...Is...A...KING! Mmmmph. Those lips. That piercing stare. That BODY! Uhh!

Dominique looks like a sexy/beautiful praying mantis...or a snake. Either way I LOVE his face.

That Rick Owens shirt is dope

Mesh cleavage!! YAES!!

BET Hip-Hop Awards Cyphers

Here are my favorite cyphers from last night's BET Hip-Hop Awards ceremony.


Nicki Minaj - She's SOOOO Bizarre that I can't stop watching her. Even though she had a prop (hmmmm) she still Harley Quinn'd her cypher and commanded your attention. You've gotta love that.

Joe Budden - Hands down, he NAILED it! That was the calmest SLAYING I've ever seen. Best freestyle of the night.





Eminem - He gave the best freestyle of his cypher. Period.
