The same friend introduced me to weed and Public Enemy and Chuck D. Enjoy the soundtrack of my first smoke. And if you dont know my name you can call me mista…

Chuck D - Mistachuck:

Chuck D - Endonesia

Chuck D - Free Big Willie

Chuck D - Niggativity…Do I Dare Disturb The Universe

Public Enemy and Chuck D were my introduction to hip-hop, and till this day, they are the one and only thing that defines hip-hop for me. An everlasting impression, they ARE hip-hop to me. Nothing more and nothing less. Knowledge and Power.

One of my best friends then, a cokesniffer later, was the biggest fan of Terence Trent D’arby, or TTD like he liked to call him (NH). I was more a prince and michael jackson fan but never forgot these two songs. And funny to mention, his name now is Sananda Maitreya (!?)

TV personality; film star; director; comedian; writer and artist – ‘Beat’ Takeshi Kitano is one of Japan’s most ambidextrous exports. And I am a longtime fan. Famed for cult gameshow ‘Takeshi’s Castle’, alongside films including ‘Sonatonine’ and ‘Zatoichi’, Kitano’s paintings have caught the art world’s attention in recent years. Some of them already made appearances in some of Kitano’s movies, such as Dolls.

Despite being showered with exhibition offers, Kitano has refused them all, until now. Following a meeting with director of the Fondation Cartier, Hervé Chandès, Kitano agreed to produce a site-specific exhibition for the Paris institution.

‘Gosse de peintre’ or ‘kid painter’ has been designed to act as one gigantic installation, featuring attractions such as an oversized, inefficient sewing machine (Kitano’s visual metaphor for the contemporary art world), a waffle stand and a marionette theatre.

Alongside the interactive elements of the exhibition, Kitano will also be showing an array of paintings for the first time. Narrative, figurative and channeling the rudimentary spirit of the Art Naïve movement, the paintings – including a series of animal-plant hybrid images, created following a motorcycle accident in 1996 – bristle with high-colour energy.

Kitano has also shot a series of short comic films for the exhibition, all of which play on western notions of Japanese culture. ‘Gosse de peintre’ is the first exhibition of its kind, and will remain at the Fondation Cartier until September 12.

Ik ben al jaren fan van zn films, Takeshi BEAT Kitano, als acteur en als regisseur, met klassiekers als Sonatonine, Violent Cop, Battle Royale, Zatoichi, Dolls, Brother, etc. In Japan is hij meer populair vanwege zn dagelijkse comedy optredens op tv. Ook is hij schrijver. Het minst bekend zijn zn schilderijen. In zn films kreeg ik ze gelukkig af en toe al voorgeschoteld, maar nog nooit was er echter een expositie geweest. To nu dan, want in Parijs is er eindelijk een expositie/installatie van Takeshi Kitano, bij Fondation Cartier, genaamd ‘Gosse de peintre’ / ‘kid painter’ / ‘jonge schilder’.

Based on pictures from Robbo and his crew, it looks like they have gone and modified more Banksy pieces, warping their meanings. If you remember this all started in Camden with a stencil Banksy put up over a vintage Robbo tag, with the ensuing retaliation (here & here) from Robbo.

Last summer, Arrested Motion flew out to the UK and took a road trip up to Bristol to visit Banksy’s exhibition at the Bristol Museum. As mentioned, Banksy made an installation that replicated his studio and in that brilliant space, was Banksy’s sketchbook. They zoomed in to take detail pictures of the sketchbook giving us a little insight into mind of Banksy.

Vorige week nog waren we in de WoodWood showroom om de Herfst/Winter 2010 collectie in het echt te bekijken. Er zaten heel wat mooie items tussen die pas tegen het einde van het jaar in de Gorilli store worden verwacht, maar voor wie niet wachten wil, want waarom zou je, is hier al een voorproefje.

The full trailer will be available tomorrow (3/11) at 6:00 AM PST.

In THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge.

Originally one of the very few places to find a complete and comprehensive collection of COMME des GARÇONS, Dover Street Market as conceptualized and directed by Rei Kawakubo (also the lady behind COMME des GARÇONS) has quickly expanded and established itself as one of the quintessential and respected retailers in the industry, carrying some of the most coveted and rare accouterments in the world. In Kawakubo’s own words, “I want to create a kind of market where various creators from various fields gather together and encounter each other in an ongoing atmosphere of beautiful chaos; the mixing up and coming together of different kindred souls who all share a strong personal vision”.

As its namesake suggests, Dover Street Market, was named after the street it settled on, Dover Street in London. However, this season, Dover Street Market is moving beyond a physical location and onto one of Japan’s largest online community, ZOZO. Like Undercover, Dover Street Market will be moving into ZOZOVILLA and bringing a series of labels such as Ganryu and of course, DSM Label to the online shop. This may not be the retailer’s first online venture as it has its own E-Shop, but the grand opening on ZOZOVILLA promises a new audience and fresh exclusive goods.

To delve a little more into the available brands, DSM Label will be offering its Spring/Summer 2010 collection, themed “The Mechanic’s Wardrobe”. Meanwhile, Ganryu is the eponymous label from designer Fumito Ganryu. He is the fourth designer of COMME des GARÇONS’ and his first collection with the label was in Spring/Summer 2007. For his personal vision, Ganryu attempts to find a new identity beyond gender in his creations. Some items one will be able find at the new online location in ZOZOVILLA are graphic tees, patchwork blazer with matching denim, and a pair of rustic high top sneaker reminiscent of Chuck Taylor All Star Hi-Top from DSM Label. As for Ganryu, dress shirts with interesting graphic details and denim tailored with an interesting silhouette (slightly more tailored at the legs with a drop crotch) will be available amongst other items.

The store is set to open on March 15, so do click on back to check out the store when it’s up and running.

PIZZAMAFFIA gaat over de neven Brahim en Haas, die in de snelle wereld van pizzakoeriers en veeleisende bazen, hun vriendschap, familie eer en ambities hoog proberen te houden.

Met Mamoun Elyounoussie en Illias Ojja (Shouf Shouf Habibi) en geregisseerd door Tim Oliehoek (Vet Hard, Spion van Oranje, Shouf Shouf de serie).

De kick off van de film gebeurt door middel van een unieke online casting, waarbij de makers op zoek gaan naar jong acteertalent om te schitteren tegenover Illias en Mamoun. Vanaf 4 maart kunnen castingfilmpjes ge-upload worden op: www.pizzamaffia.nl. De verfilming van PIZZAMAFFIA  is een crossmediaal project waarbij het publiek deelgenoot wordt gemaakt van het maakproces door middel van een combinatie van film, een boek, internet, mobile en muziek.

For their second spring collection of 2010, Married to the Mob wanted to evoke visions of a lustful yet commanding woman maintaining a fine balance between a life that’s both scandalous and refined. The photo shoot which took place in NYC’s luxurious Gramercy Hotel starred MOB poster girl Sarah “Sweet 16″ McSweeney and her older sister - the Head Bitch herself - Leah McSweeney. Heavy red velvet curtains, rich colors in royal hues, and family love created the base for a strong MOB look book.
