Belvedere Presents: A Day In The Life w/ Chip Tha Ripper

As if you didn’t already know, I love Day In The Life pieces. This time around, Belvedere follows Chip Tha Ripper around Chicago for an in-store signing, a video shoot with boys from illRoots, and of course, a dope live performance to top off an incredible day. Not bad, not bad at all. Check out his boy Cudi’s new track a few posts back as well as my “King of The Court” post, and click here to watch Chip’s “Whoa” music video.

The Zoo York Mixtape, Vol. 1

This is really cool. If you love Hip-Hop and skateboarding, this is for you. Take forty minutes out of your day, grab some popcorn, and press play. You will be happy with your decision. Harold Hunter (the crazy lookin’ dude in our banner), Jeff Pang, Vinny Ponte, DJ Roc Raider, Bobbito, Wu-Tang Clan, Jay-Z, and Busta Rhymes are just some of the names that made this historic visual possible. Spotted at Hypebeast.

Introducing The New iPod Touch

Apple is the one of my favorite companies, hands down. Talk about ingenuity and continual advancement when it comes to their products. Quality stuff. Now I rock with an iPhone, but if I had a Blackberry (two thumbs down), I would have to purchase this new iPod touch. Well done Apple. You continue to outdo yourself. Click here for more.

illRoots Catch-Up w/ Chiddy Bang

Here’s a great example of two kids killing the game. We caught up with Xaphoon Jones and Chiddy Bang in Chicago recently while they were in town for Lollapalooza. A group that may or may not be on your radar, Chiddy Bang is one of the dopest and most popping hip-hop/indie acts currently on the market. Currently headling their Swelly Life Tour with Donnis and XV, the bulk of their stops have been sold out to packed crowds of die hard fans. Signed to UK label Parlophone Records, these two young talents linked up at Drexel University a few years ago and have since been making recognizable music that’s brought them to various crowds all over the world.

Fire Tornado

How cool is this? Check out some footage of a fire tornado seen in San Paulo Brazil, caused by wildfires and strong dry winds. Crazy. If I was a superhero, I think I would want to shot those out of my hands. Captain Firehands over Batman all day every day.

“Little Big Berlin”

I dedicate this film to Berlin where I have been living for 19 years now. While the architecture of Berlin is stunningly beautiful, only its inhabitants make Berlin the unique city that it is. In every corner there is something new to discover. And the best thing to do is to film it.

illRoots Profile: Lupe Fiasco x Trilly & Truly

To follow up our profile with Ibn Jasper, we caught up with Lupe Fiasco on set of the recent RSVP Gallery lookbook video shoot for Trilly & Truly’s Basic Info. For the Spring/Summer run of merchandise, Lupe decided to stick with a simplistic theme that focused more around iconic imagery than complex design. A true innovator in both fashion and music, Lupe goes in depth on his clothing line, how he separates the two and what he hopes people will take from it.

Big ups to illRoots on this piece. Quality original material is tops.

Chip Tha Ripper Interview w/ ImFlashy

This interview is put together really well. Props to ImFlashy. Chip Tha Ripper talks Cleveland, the homie KiD CuDi, his upcoming “Gift Raps” project produced by Chuck Inglish, and more. Dope footage and a dope interview means, hit play now. Oh, be sure to check out the music video by Chuck’s partner-in-crime Mikey Rocks a few posts back.

KiD CuDi – “Erase Me” (ft. Kanye West) Artwork

Here goes the artwork to Cudder’s upcoming single from “Man On The Moon 2.” Download the track here and be sure to check out Kanye’s “Power Remix” featuring Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz. It may just be the song of the year. Spotted at DNC.

Tiger Woods Finalizes Divorce

His ex-wife Elin Nordegren will walk away with a cool $100 million. I bet Tiger would pay double that to go back in time. The superstar golfer has been doing pretty poorly on the course recently and I would gander that this is a large reason why. We at PFOP wish everyone involved the best, especially those two kids. Divorce sucks.
