Raf Simons for adidas

Lets just say we MUCH prefer Rick Owens collaboration with adidas than Raf's offering.

We will say this, it's, um, interesting.

The 10-piece collection goes on sale Feb 2014 and will cost from 270 to 350Euros

Jay-Z Talks Oceans

There's literally no one we love listening to more more than Hov when it comes to an artist talking about thier lyrics.

Check Pharrell's reaction when Jay explains the sea/see sick double entendre.

Angel Haze: Initiation

"Purple kisses straight from your codeine cup...."

Ahead of her forthcoming album, Haze drops an outtake, a track from the cutting room floor, a lil summin summin (etc) that didn't make her debut album, Dirty Gold, dropping in October.

Initiation is rather sultry and seedy, just the way we like it.

The Counsellor: Trailer

We're into this slick-looking flick featuring a steller cast and an incredible director.

With Ridley 'Gladiator, Alien, Prometheus' Scott behind the lens and Bradley Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, and Michael Fassbender in front of it, we're sure this will be a movie not to miss.

Written by the fellow that wrote the brilliant No Country For Old Men, the trailer doesn't give much away, yet mos def makes us want to watch more. We'll have to wait until October until the film drops.

Rick Owens for adidas

We're actually dying.

Rick Owens contribution to adidas is all kinds of amazing.

Described as delivering a 'minimalist, architectural and graphic aesthetic', Owens and adi turn the trainer on its, um, head, with this design. Owens. who designed this with his own cardio efforts in mind, also offers an alternate take on the 3-stripe

adidas by Rick Owens S/S 2014 goes on sale in December. Prices range from 400-500 EUR 

Duck Sauce: It's You

They always smash videos (remember Barbra Streisand?), and this is no exception.

A-Trak and Armand Van Helden turn barber for the day and create some really strange hairstyles. Don't try this at home, kids!

Jay-Z: More Magna Carta

And so it continues....

Today, Hov drops some more footage of him being, lets face it, a bit of a chatterbox again, boring off at Rick Rubin, Swizz, Pharrell and Timbaland. That said, as Rubin points out, there's gonna be some good picnics this July 4th! Good one Rick! I'm also giving whoever titled the above clip the benefit of the doubt that it's supposed to mean 'to many' as opposed to 'one too many'. I suppose in the context of this clip the latter wouldn't make sense. Unless it's a subliminal to Hov, about having had too many and now he can't stop talking.

Anyway.

Also unlocked by Samsung users today are lyrics to a track featuring Frank Ocean called Oceans. Ahh.

Here, Jay discusses his feelings towards American history, slavery, Christopher Columbus and by dint the 4th Of July (the album's release date). There's also a nice Billie Holiday/ Strange Fruit/ money reference, before ruminating that it's thanks to Obama that he even votes now.
