Local Artist Spotlight: Luxury League -I Be (Official HD Video & BIO)



Luxury League is a super group composed of three of the Midwest’s premiere rappers and producers. C10 of Omnibreed, Fresh of Young TrendSetterZ, and Selah of Young World Muzik. The group formed in 2011 due to having mutual respect for each other’s talent, as well as sharing the views about the current state of hip hop. Below is their single "I BE" Directed by Seanie G...Dope Video!


The group was ultimately motivated to make waves within hiphop and Columbus, Ohio. The trio then collaborated on a joint effort entitled “Luxury Season” (4/20/2012). With news of the project approaching, anticipation quickly began to build with the releases of their first two singles (“I be” and “A way out”). After receiving rave reviews from their energetic performance, at promoter’s request Luxury League has opened for national artist (Too Short, Joe Budden, and Freddie Gibbs) amongst others. 

 The Luxury League’s lifestyle exudes high quality music and creativity while maintaining a “luxurious” brand that’s unparallel to any rap group of this era; which could be the reason for their small but growing cult like following. Despite the growing success of Luxury League they remain humble and state that “This is more than music, we want everyone to strive for a life of luxury.” These qualities make Luxury League truely in a league of their own. Look out for them with a sound like this these dudes are next to Blow out of Columbus!

2012 NBA Slam Dunk Contest in Slow Motion HD



While the NBA dunk contest has certainly lost a little bit of the sizzle that used to come with the event, when the likes of Dominique, Michael and Vince would bring the house down, the event still proves to showcase some freakishly athletic maneuvers from some of the lessor known players in the league.

I'm sure 90% of the viewing public didn't know who these cats were before the dunk contest. Where are all the superstars like in the 80s and 90s? Lebron said in an interview that the $35K prize money isn't enough to get him in the contest, but if it was a million, maybe he would be. Shit's just sad. The events are supposed to be FOR THE FANS. Not for some over-compensated star to get another check.

Well  The NBA trained high-speed Phantom Cameras on the action and the result is something truly spectacular to behold. Watch as Jeremy Evans, Paul George, Chase Budinger and Derrick Williams pull of their signature dunks for the night.

Apple iPad 3 Officially Being Unveiled Next Wed.



While it’s not 100 percent confirmed, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco is where many people speculate that the Apple iPad 3 will finally be unveiled. Next Wednesday, March 7 at 10AM PST the world will hopefully get to see the specs and performance of the highly-anticipated tablet from Apple. From the image we can deduce that the display seems to be much higher-res and the outer casing looks darker than current models. Stay tuned for more info.

Azealia Banks: Iggy Azalea on the XXL freshman list is all wrong. How can you endorse a white woman who called herself a “runaway slave master ” ? Whatever. Sorry guys. But I’m pro black girl. I’m not anti white girl, but I’m also not here for any1 outside of my culture trying to trivialize very serious aspects of it. In any capacity. *kanye shrug* If u hate my music now because of how I feel about this then I guess it’s my loss. I’ll take that loss.

Chip tha Ripper: I think everyone Knows that XXL sux. COMPLEX MAGIZINE is Entertainment. Being on XXL Freshman list is NOT a good look. At all. I turned them down. Oh yea I turned down their “Show & Prove” offer too. Lol. This is the most fun I ever had on the Internet. I love y’all. Now….. Back to making wayyyyyyyy better music. I’m not “Hating” on any artists on the cover. Some of them I like. I don’t hear y’all? Where’s all that talk? Lol. Exactly! I’m Better. Not Bitter.

Talib Kweli (jokingly, obviously): I didn’t make the XXL freshman list? This is bullshit!

Skotch Davis: Its Just A List & Its Only Twitter. $.D. Azelia Banks > Iggy Any Day Tho.. $.D. Opinion Is Not Gospel. Gospel Is More Like Testimony Or Being A Witness. Closer To Truth. We’re All Dwelling In Our Opinion. $.D. I Think I Was Left Off The XXL Cover For Crossing Up @AdamXXL At The #Masaryk Gym.. My Bad Bro.. Show & Prove Maybe?! Lol.. I’m Enjoying My Life & My Creativity Too Much These Days To Get Caught Up In A Cover. Besides.. I’ve Been Page 3 For Years Already! $.D.

XV: I’ve been a topic of discussion for 3 years when it comes to #XXLFreshman. That alone is amazing to me, becuz I’m still here and grinding. No reason to be mad. That’s an amazing thing. There are ppl that were on the cover before, that aren’t topics of discussion anymore. We had the chance to put me on the cover too. #SQUARIANS we just gotta speak louder this year!

Kanye West & Jay-Z to Auction Off Ruined $350,000 Maybach from “Otis” Music Video



A car that will surely go down in pop culture folklore, Kanye West and Jay-Z’s totalled Maybach is set to go on the auction block. The car represented one of the inhuman stars of the smash hit video, Otis. Before you’re so quick to dismiss the sale of a wrecked $350,000 USD car, proceeds will be donated to the Save the Children foundation. Auctioned off via Phillips de Pury of New York on March 8th, all parties are looking to make an impact and raise awareness for the difficulties facing many East African families.

Nike SB Dunk High “Guinness”


With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, the usual green tributes to the holiday are about to roll out in droves. Eschewing the typical look for a better source of inspiration, the “Guinness” Nike SB Dunk High takes cues from the tasty Irish Stout with a black leather upper alongside Light British Tan accents on the textured Swoosh, tongue tab branding and outsole. A contrasting white midsole and two sets of laces complete the package. The “Guinness” Dunk High is available now from Premier and other Nike SB stockists for $90 USD.

Cash Money Records Signs Limp Bizkit??????


Following a wildly successful 2011, Cash Money is adding to its extensive roster with the signing of Limp Bizkit. Lil Wayne revealed the newest addition to the YMCMB team during an interview on New York’s 98.7 Kiss FM. An admitted fan of Lenny Green’s classic soul show “Kissing After Dark,” the superstar rapper called in on Thursday night for a brief chat, telling the host that Cash Money was “signing everybody,” including, possibly, Ashanti – the R&B star formerly signed to Irv Gotti’s Murder Inc. label. Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst later confirmed the news in a series of tweets to his 1.5 million followers. Wayne also said the team may sign Ashanti as well. Really sounds like Wayne is trying to monopolize the game...ONE has been at a time...smh
