New video for from T.I.’s papertrail album, Live Your Life featuring Rihanna.

Disney Pixar’s trailer for it’s new film, UP, is out now, one word, WOW! can’t wait to see. Trailer after the jump.

This video was directed by Bank Head which is Nick Weidenfeld (exec producer of Adult Swim) and Jacob Escobedo (art director of Adult Swim). Cameos by Kanye West and Akon. Sidenote, it’s proper bathroom etiquette to never speak to another man while in the stahl.

Don’t you just hate bike thieves, I mean, their like the scum of the earth right? Taking your bike knowing by doing so it will cause you to have to walk all the way home or find another means of transportation like a cab, bus or subway, don’t they know it’s a recession people can’t afford all that. So, for all you bike riders out there I have a new sorta cool and sorta questionable way to keep your bike a little bit safer. It’s the SmartLock by Michael Lambourn, the concept is easy the bike lock is filled with a colored liquid and if cut that colored liquid will splash on anything in the near proximity meaning the would-be thief would get scarlet lettered in a way, covered in a colored liquid (video of bike lock after jump). The concept is definitely cool in the, “ha, gotcha ass, way” but it doesn’t actually stop the person from cutting the lock, so covered in the liquid an all nothing is stopping that person from riding off with your bike and just washing their clothes when they get home. Will it keep your bike from ever being stolen, not sure, would it be fun at a house party, yes yes yes.

New Music Tuesday brings you Outasight a Yonkers, New York native and birth name Richard Andrew grew up with a mother who used records to decorate the walls and his father played guitar. That natural born gift coupled with his love for music all music has given birth to a completely original sound. Outasight can make your girls R&B dreams come true with his unique vocal tone or he can have your man haten cause his rhymes are better than his. Either way Outasight’s music is outasight (I know, corny line but I couldn’t resist). Read up on Outasight in this NMT feature and learn what it’s like to be in the studio with him, the groupie debate and his fondness for Family Guy.

His name is Theophilus London. His look is past-inspired, presently proficient. His music is Michael Jackson and Prince, blended with an upbeat new wave sound, hip-hop, and soul influence. And, everything combines to form something uniquely futuristic about the artist formerly known as Thelonius Kapps. The Brooklyn-based microphone controller’s first mixtape Jam! is high in energy and up-tempo, but emotionally evocative, when necessary.  Mixed by Machinedrum, the mixtape, which was created in an hour, is an amazing blend. One listen of Jam! and you’ll understand that the party never stops with Mr. London. (video after the jump)

Can’t believe I missed this drop. “Digi Snacks,” Rza’s fourth solo album, and third under his alias Bobby Digital, dropped in late June of this year.  But, somehow I didn’t pick up on it until the video for the single “Drama,” which features Monk and Thea, hit the internet. The trademark Rza piano production, Thea’s timeless voice, and the back and forth rhyming make this a beautiful piece.

A new generation has come, and is prime for taking over. The generation molded us and made our decisions before and we had to live with those and now in some cases were going to have to solve issues made by some of those decisions, but it’s on us and our generation is better and more diverse then any other generation in history. Will we leave our mark, we sure the fuck will, what will our mark be, who the fuck knows, but one thing I’m for sure on it will be some changes made over the next decade and some, some very ground breaking changes made, all helmed by this, our, new generation.

This is another don’t vote video campaign, and I like this one just as much as the last one maybe even more. It is directed by Steven “blockbuster movie making” Spielberg and stars my favorites Will Smith and Shia Labeouf.

Created only using cell phone video camera this short film, Man Is No Island, by Jason van Genderen took home $20,000 as the winner of the 2008 Tropfest contest held in New York.

Yet another Good magazine production (they’re the masters of the internet video right now) this time it’s their, If I were President, campaign/series that has me both arms up in joy. They ask certain celebrities what they would do if they were President, they’ve asked the likes of Mos Def (video above), Wyclef, Majora Carter, Billy Parrish, George Watsky and Murs. And I’m definitely feeling Mos on the free breakfast idea, now to see all the would be Presidential candidates and there proposed presidencies visit just click.
