Is there a giant corporation out there better at looking like a small independent business than Nike? On the marketing tip, a great initiative by Nike in efforts to support artistic works that fall in line with the scope of the brand. Great animation by Richard Kenworthy
Props to Derrick Rose first, to this Top 10 second. We’ve got Top 10′s stacked for the W&B. Believe that. But since this is one of the first, the area of Top 10′s is a pursuit to be improved upon. Frankly, the cross on Andre Miller should’ve been coupled with the block right afterward to make a double number one play. That way the number 1 would pack more punch, and we could see another highlight.
The Postman Butterfly also known as Heliconius melpomene lives in the jungles of Central America. In its larval state as a spiny caterpillar, it is a voracious eater with a preference for the passionflower vine. The adult butterfly feeds on this vine’s protein-rich pollen as well as nectar, and the added protein gives it a longer lifespan than most butterflies, usually from six to nine months.
(The Independent) Analysis carried out for the research group Iraq Body Count (IBC) found that 39 per cent of those killed in air raids by the US-led coalition were children and 46 per cent were women. Fatalities caused by mortars, used by American and Iraqi government forces as well as insurgents, were 42 per cent children and 44 per cent women.
I remember riding the ride at Universal Studios. Shit was so clean. Thanks Cathy. These kids got serious bars. The classic scene from E.T. On another note, movies gotta get back to just telling dope stories. The technology is so wooped in this movie but the stories good so it doesn’t matter. When we have these movies that have wack stories and great technology we end up marveling at the advances made in the moment over the endurance of a great story. I have a feeling we’re gonna look back at Ironman in 20 years and hate it even more.
Here at Wine & Bowties we don’t like to bite. But you’ve got to give credit where credit is do. The iciest house I’ve seen from Kanye. This house is made by architectural duo Bernardes & Jacobsen. Dream home doesn’t really do it justice. It should have a one word name, like inspiration.
I woke up this morning. When I opened my eyes the first thought that crossed my mind was, “Yesss.” Not like, “Yesss I’m doing it.. etc. etc.” But Yess like I get to live another day. Ever since I saw Ishmael Beah speak I’ve had a greater appreciation for this thing we call life. Ishmael spoke about the fact that some nights he didn’t know if he would wake up in the morning. He would go to sleep scared. The uncertainty plaguing every pleasant thought his mind could muster. When I woke up this morning I said, Yesss I will eat some food. Talk to my friends and maybe even see some (Ben holler at me). I can breathe through both nostrils, I can run, and jump, dance, and sing. That’s more than enough to be happy about. So I say thank you, or thank him, or thank her, or thank it to whoever granted this beautiful beautiful life.
This is lightweight fascinating. Michael Jackson, arguably at the pinnacle of his career, speaks with the 80′s television series Celebrity Showcase about his life, his friends and his rise to fame. This is so interesting not only for the answers he gives, but to think of these answers in hindsight some 20 years later. Like, “Oh maybe this is why he turned out like this..” This is an important and interesting interview to see for anyone ever interested or a fan of MJ.
If the price is right these are a definite cop. A collaboration between B&Y and Timberland. Like those 180′s the black on black on black is a deliberate push towards simplicity and durability. Again, their versatility reigns supreme. Like most fly shit nowadays you can only cop them online from Beauty & Youth.
I don’t think this can be topped. Within the first five seconds you should already know. This is for anyone who’s ever had a vision. Because that is what this speaks to. An image of the way things be, alive in one’s head, but then brought to life with two hands and 10 fingers. Don’t thank me, thank Lan, and if you thank Lan thank Nick. It’s fucked up. It really is. What is so clean about this video is the opening statement. “No commercial websites or televisions are allowed to display this film without the author’s consent.” Which means, we can fuck with it, but NBC can’t. This is a movement for the people, not for the bottom line. Which is beautiful. (This cat has got to be one of the cleanest artists ever and I’ve only known him for 15minutes.) W&B is the now. But the art is forever.
This is the most crucial thing I’ve seen in a long time. Watch the full movie and let it play out.
This video counters the previous. If T.K. fumbled, Mos picks it up and keeps running with it. Mos Def’s new album The Ecstatic drops June 9. In conjunction with the release, Mos is soon to announce a U.S tour. More on that as it comes.
It’s gonna be a struggle to watch this whole video. It’s funny but painful. You almost feel for T.K. He’s a fan of hip hop, just trying to express himself. Hyphen might like this the most.
When Tha Block Is Hot dropped, who would’ve ever imagined it would be like this? Lil’ Wayne was popular then. Now he’s a household name. He’s become the gold standard of rap, and ubiquitous (yeah we out here) amongst youth of all demographics and backgrounds. I can’t even count how many Weezy lyrics have been in folks facebook statuses over the past year.
