Nothing speaks more to the 90s era of professional sports than Ken Griffey Jr. As we get closer to 2011, more pictures and videos are emerging daily for this brand new colorway of his signature Air Griffey Max 1 that appears to be pretty similar to the pair he wore in the 2003 All Star game. Watch the video below to see them in the flesh. Probably wont see these in Canada, but you can bet eBay will have them come spring 2011.
You have probably already see Jay Pharoah's Denzel impression on SNL already, but his Jay-Z and 50's may be just as good. Check out his YouTube page here to see all his other acts.

Today Jay-Z stopped by the Howard Stern studio to do an exclusive hour long interview. If you are a fan of him, a fan of music, a fan of anything, you NEED to find an hour to listen to this interview. Stern asked questions all over the map from his relationship with Oprah, to his feelings about his father leaving him at a young age, to his days as a teenage crack dealer, to his thoughts on to how his art relates to everyone, and much more. Not only does Jay answer every single one of his questions, but all of his answers are completely sincere and honest. I always find radio interviews to be the most interesting for the reason that they are unedited and truthful. Enjoy.
Really like the simple design of this iPad Dock. To me most of the iPad speak docks look awkward and disproportional, but Altec Lansing has avoided this en route to designing the most elegant dock. Two nice features of the Dock are the rotating connection arm that allows you to use your iPad in portrait or landscape and the ability to tilt the dock which facilitates different viewing angles. Also should note that the dock is additionally compatible with both iPhones and iPods. As with all Altec Lansing products this dock is GMS-shielded to block out any static when in use with your iPhone. In stores this week for $150.
So this is what girls do when they go to the bathroom together. This girl was dumb enough to kick a hole in a pillar at the TD Garden, dumb enough to record it, and dumb enough to post it on YouTube. She has since been busted and was forced to pay for the damages. The Bruins brilliant marketing team capitalized on this video and made a pretty funny add from it.
Good toques are always hard to find, but they are a necessity if you live in a spot that endures long winters. At the price of $18, if these fit good, I will grip all 3 of these. Thank you UNDFTD!
Canada and Massachusetts’ Concepts recently worked together to create these two colorways (Red / Military Olive & Red / Tan) of the Alberta Vest. Concepts modified the original Alberta vest by adding an Arctic-Tech waterproof shell with 625 fill power white duck down. The vest also includes a removable hood with fleece lined pockets. A release is slated for November 19th, 2010 at Concepts. Not sure how these will look in person since they appear to be pretty bulky, but I hope the fit is good and that we see them somewhere in Alberta. Great to see all these collabs with Canada Goose, I expect to see many more in the months ahead. Check out October's Very Own collab with Canada Goose on the Chilliwack jacket here if you have not yet.
The other night while on Jimmy Fallon, Jeff Goldblum decided to a do a little collaboration with Biz Markie on one of my favourite classic hip hop songs of all time, Just a Friend. Enjoy
Here is an upcoming collaboration between Japanese brand Deluxe and Vans for Spring 2011. The Vans Zapato del Barco got a mixed leather/suede upper and an orange in-sole.
While doing my nightly blog run I came across this amazing post that Paul Lukas did on his blog Uni Watch (if you love sports you need to check his site out). As Paul writes: "Before there were dugout jackets, there were dugout cardigans." The detail on these outerwear pieces is incredible, which one is your favourite? (click for full size)
Not much to say here either than the day has finally come, get Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy early here. This is the hard to find dirty version, but it is missing the 5 iTunes bonus tracks, gonna have to wait a little bit of longer for that. Not to spoil it for anyone, but "Blame Game" is instantly one of my favourite songs of ALLL TIMEEE (Kanye Voice).
Also added the video of Kanye's interview with Matt Lauer on the Today Show from a couple days back. Completely agree with Kanye that they played those old clips to try and get a particular reaction out of him. Lauer's comments that they do this to everyone guest they interview are true, but again remember that there are motives behind doing that for show producers. Kanye was just brave enough to point out this "production effect" during his interview.
If you guys have never seen Keenan's hilarious lip-syncing rap videos, then you have to watch this one. This 15 year old, John C. Riley look-alike has been tearin up YouTube for a while now with his performances, and 50 Cent thought it would be a good idea to do a collab. YouTube does it again and creates another star, even if it is only for 15 minutes, it's still pretty amazing that he got an international artist to come chill with him in his room.
Getting really excited for these to release in January 2011. SneakGeekz (guy's so corny but he is the only person that seems to put up useful videos) was kind enough to put up a comparison video and picture of the 1994, 2003 and 2011 pairs.
I love surprise drops, these came out of no where's. Relatively general release so they should pop up at your local foot locker. But if you don't want to wait you can already get them on ebay here.
Not only was the Colts @ Eagles game a dandy today, but it featured this gem that was dug up by probably some intern at CBS. This is no lie, Andy Reid (Eagle coach) was 13 here and the same age as that kid behind him. haha
The next couple months are busy ones for Jay-Z as he works on his follow up to The Blueprint 3, a special project with Kanye West entitled Watch the Throne and none less important than his autobiography that interprets lyrics to 36 of his songs but also covers important events that got him to where he is today. Jay-Z's Decoded hits shelves November 16th.
Here is an excerpt that the New York Post recently published:
Almost Famous
Even though he was still dealing drugs, whenever Jay-Z came back to New York he met with his friend Jaz, another rhymer, and the two would lock themselves in a room “with a pen, a pad, and some Apple Jacks and Haagen Dazs.” Jaz got a record deal with EMI in 1989, and Jay-Z took note when the record company dropped his friend after his single flopped. “I thought to myself, ‘This business sucks.’ No honor, no integrity; it was disgusting. In some ways it was worse than the streets.” Jay-Z learned from that experience and started his own label, Roc-a-fella, in 1994, with Damon Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke.
Here is the song list that will be covered
