Asher Roth with a new banger that’s bass heavy and him just doin what he does best. BTW You know Im feelin that Niners jacket

My favorite Hip Hop artist J. Cole performed a song off his new album on Jimmy Kimmel Live and I can’t say that this will be his next single but I think Mr. Nice Watch will be his next radio single. J. Cole’s first album sold 217,000 in the first week and I think its going to sell atleast 500k in the first month.

If you have 30 minutes and want to hear lil wayne discuss his view on the world and the youth and basically telling kids to do something because you want to then watch this video. Alot of what Wayne says is true and people should do something because you they want to not because a “Rapper or Athlete” does so. Anyway peep the video

If you know me Im a huge fan of video games but Im an even bigger fan of the Call of Duty Franchise. The all-new single player trailer for Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3. In the world’s darkest hour, are you willing to do what is necessary? Prepare yourself for a cinematic thrill-ride as only Call of Duty can deliver.

I didn’t have a chance to watch the Espy Awards but caught this on some random blog and had to share it with everyone.

I’ve never been a Jaguar fan but this Jaguar C-X16 looks very promising and looks to be a direct Aston Martin Competitor. Peep out this video of the new Jaguar

I don’t know if this was put online for anything but I took it as a great opportunity to see what people come up with and just get a sense of people editing styles. Today I was snooping around vimeo and stumbled on this footage and saw the the technique used was pretty much how I shoot and just to actually see raw footage before its edited from someone else is really cool.

So here is the deal I wanna post this up to all video editors or inspiring editors and just see what everyone comes up with and post up the results as a comment here or you can email me at nickel18@gmail.com and I will repost your video here and on my twitter and facebook.

Here is the video that you can download the stock footage from and have your way but please make sure to message me so I can see the end results. Thanks.

This past August I got to see 1 of my favorite MC’s live at the Rock the Bells show and Rebook had a chance to catchup with Common and just talk about his career in hip hop. Check it!

In 2005, Common released his sixth studio album, and second gold record, Be. In describing the album’s concept shortly after its release, he said, “I named it Be to be who you are, man, and be able to be in the moment and not try too hard. Be is another way of saying just do without trying hard, like I said, natural and be true to the core of who you are; and this album, I wanted to just be and not just go and exist as just an artist, not worried about the past.

If I had to sum up this entire video in word it would be “Epic”. I personally have been watching Top Gear for many years and recently started watching Top Gear USA which has progressively gained some momentum and street credit. In the years I have been watching I’d have to say that this looks like the funnest any driver has had with a car because Tanner Foust pretty much had his way with Dowtown LA and the GT2 RS. I’ve personally sat in this car and after watching this video it makes you want to drive it like you stole it.

I can’t tell you how many times I have heard this question throughout my short career as a photographer and finally someone has done the explaining for me. Technology changes everyday and there is a new and better camera everyday so this review is basically for right now if you are deciding on what camera to buy. I personally own a Canon 5D MKII, Canon 60D, Panasonic GF1 now but I recently sold my 7D because I wanted a camera that was equivalent to the 7D but has a variable screen because I need something like that for low and high shots and also dolly shots. The image quality of the 60D is phenomenal and the price of the camera is roughly $1000 depending on where and when you are buying it.
Here’s a run-down by artoftheimage.com of how to choose between the Canon 550D T2i, the Canon 600D T3i, the Canon 60D, and the Canon 7D.

Forza 4 In my opinion is one of the most anticipated racing games for any system and every week I see different parts of the game that just have me on the edge of my seat waiting for the game to release. I’ve been into video games for a long time and at the age of 29 Im still very much into them. This video basically gives you a behind the scenes look at how Turn 10 studios 3D maps and designs an actual track in the game. Forza 4 is set to release on Oct. 11th so best believe I will be up all day playing that game and if you want to add my gamertag its “Nacho Nickel”.

I don’t know if this is staged but its entertaining none the less.

If you are into classic Porsches and japanese influencing you have to watch this video. I’ve always been in love with this Matte Black Porsche 964 Carrera with Volk wheels and I finally found out how actually built it. Here is a video showcasing the man behind the insanely beautiful Porsches.
