You know, I bet working for Nike has got to be one of the coolest jobs on the planet. Imagine designing dope kicks that everyone and their Kindergarten bully drool over. Take for instance these new "Twin Peaks".

Based on the TV show of the same name, the shoe is designed with The Night Owl on the side which represents one of the 3 murder mystery clues in the show, while the Zig Zag pattern on the insole represents the floor from the infamous “Red Room” at the Black Lodge. The show is pretty fuckin old so if you have noooo idea what I'm talking about its cool, the shoe is still sick. The Nike SB Dunk High "Twin Peaks" are available now at Primitive.

KANYE WEST X LOUIS VUITTON SNEAKERS CONFIRMED

We’ve known that Kanye West has had a problem keeping his projects under-wraps in the past, (see Air Yeezy leaks 1-4567) now it seems the self-proclaimed Louis Vuitton Don has spilled the beans on the release date of his forthcoming Louis Vuitton-designed sneakers.

In a a recent TMZ video they caught a chipper Kanye coming out of the LV store in L.A, wearing the sneakers he designed for Louis Vuitton. As you’ll see in the video, Kanye confirmed to the cameraman that the sneakers he has on will release in June. We did a little investigating and found that Kanye was rocking the same white-on-white low tops while shopping in Los Angeles shortly after the video surfaced, all but confirming that the sneakers in the pics below are his highly hyped Louis Vuitton sneakers.

NIKEID COMMERCIAL FEATURING MIKE EPPS, DJ AM, AND KOBE BRYANT (FULL VERSION)

I posted a snippet of this commercial a few days ago, and now the full-length uncut version has been released. Check it out.

An rare Bugatti supercar left to gather dust in an English garage for half a century could fetch millions when it goes under the hammer next month, a report said Thursday.

Experts believe the car -- one of just a handful ever made -- could fetch as much as six million pounds (6.2 million euros, 8.7 million dollars) when it is auctioned at the Retromobile car show and sale being organised by Bonhams in Paris in February.

Harold Carr, a surgeon, apparently abandoned the rare Bugatti in his lock-up in northeastern Newcastle after buying it in the 1950s.

When the reclusive Carr died in 2007, his nephew found the Type 57S Atalante when he cleared out the garage and was amazed to learn that just 17 of the model were ever made.

His nephew, an engineer from Newcastle who wishes to remain anonymous, told the city's Evening Chronicle newspaper: "We just can't believe it.

"It's worth so much because he hasn't used it for 50 years. It was one of the original supercars. When it was built it could reach 130 miles (210 kilometres) per hour when most cars could only do 50.

"Of course we're delighted and we're going to make sure the money is shared out among the family. It's a wonderful thing to leave."

The Bugatti 57S was originally owned by British aristocrat and racing enthusiast Earl Howe, who was the first president of the British Racing Drivers' Club.

He took delivery of the sporty two-seater Atalante in 1937 and kept the car for eight years.

After it changed hands several times, Carr bought it in 1955, and drove it for a few years before parking it in the garage in the early 1960s where it remained until his death.

James Knight, international head of Bonhams' motoring department, said: "I have known of this Bugatti for a number of years and, like a select group of others, hadn't dared divulge its whereabouts to anyone.

"It is absolutely one of the last great barn discoveries... The Atalante is incredibly original and, although she requires restoration, it is 'restoration' in the true sense of the word.

"From my perspective, save for some of the interior, all original parts can be restored or conserved in order to maintain originality."

NEW VIDEO - KANYE WEST "STREET LIGHTS" (FAN-MADE)

"I just wanted to make a video of Kanye West’s awesome track, “Street Lights” so I made this.

I wanted to have that cinematic feel to it, and luckily, there was a video here on Youtube that was perfect. It was a video called “Streetlights” by Hirnduebel, you can check out his channel here:

youtube.com/user/Hirnduebel

Also, in a thread in KanyeLive!, someone mentioned that a certain scene in the film, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” might have been the inspiration of the song, and amazingly, it sort of is. So when making this video, I chose that scene and spliced it with the song.

For some reason, when I was editing it, the cuts to the next clip were perfect, but after rendering it twice, once for mov. than another to .mp4, the audio changes. I have no idea why.

Oh, I also shortened the song, because both the video clips I was used were as not as long as the song.

Anwyays, I hope you enjoy!"

Ok, I don't know 100% the deal behind this but there are talks of Mr. Fiasco (or rather, Percival Fats) currently fronting a rock band called "Japanese Cartoon" and singing in a British accent (huh?).

Apparently the new group just popped up on the scene and is denouncing any talk of Lupe being the bands front man Percival Fats although they do acknowledge that Lupe is a good friend of the group and he is a producer and financial partner in the band.

Iuunknow, sounds kinda suspect to me. Lupe is a talented and creative dude, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is all true. Check out the Japanese Cartoon myspace page and download a couple of their tracks I posted below to make the call for yourself. In the meantime, keep checking back to more info on this myyysssterrryy. haha.
