1. KanYe West’s 5th studio album, Good Ass Job – Hate him all you want, but we all know who’s making the greatest and most timeless music in the industry. The man is truly ahead of his time, has set countless trends and continues to strive for perfection with every project. Ye’s been hella quiet, but the music has been talking. Fellow producers like Pharrell and Preemo have been talking about the Ye album and everything is looking quite right for Mr. West. Good Ass Job is possibly the highest anticipated album of 2010. Sorry, Drizzy!

2. Miranda Kerr – Orlando Bloom’s ex has been on fire and literally getting the men fired from work (read the latest GQ article).  Peep the pictures in the post below.

3. The OriginalFake 4th Anniversary Frogskins – A collabo between OriginalFake x Lance Armstrong x Oakley x Frogskins. The limited release is bound to disappear the second they drop on May 29th @ OF store in Tokya. Great work KAWS!

7. Tim Hortons Iced Coffee – Ice Caps are so overrated. Try it!

8. Up In The Air – Possibly the best George Clooney film ever. The story was amazing, the cast was brilliant, the humor was classy and the twist was mind blowing. I also suggest watching the Fantastic Mr. Fox right after. Once again, brilliant cast.

9. FIFA World Cup 2010 – Get your flags out, put your jerseys on, bring the beer out and let the matches begin! If ya can’t wait till June 11th, cop the World Cup edition for the PS3 and get into the spirit.

10. COPE2 x Montana Colors Limited Edition Can - Anything with a COPE2 tag is a must have/collect. The South Bronx native recently linked with Montana Paints for an exclusive collabo.

1. Converse Japan: Expo Nippon – Several themed (or not) sneaks being released and will feature highlights of Japan’s tradional crafts. The kicks will be released at various Converse locations in Japan this month.
2. The return of Killa Cam – I still say the Pink Panther was highly taken for granted and was never credited for creating the indie movement (Koch, Asylum), mock humor and the name of Fif’s 3rd album.
3. Detox Leaks – As saddening the situation is, it just further lets us know that the album is well on its way and will be ghostwritten by the greats.
4. It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia – A live action version of the Family Guy. Much better. *patiently waits for the Chemical Toilet – Night Man vinyl release.
5. The Venture Bros. Season III DVD – Finally drops March 24th. Gorgeous box-art as usual.
6. Parra’s Ma Dukes Tee – After nearly a month and stoopid post-office drama, it finally came in. Be sure to cop yours and support Ma Dukes. Much respect to Stones Throw for the extra goodies.

1. Movie Soundtracks/Scores - I’ve been on OSTs for a minute and have been following some of the greatest heavyweights of all time (Hans Zimmer, Jon Brion, Ennio Morricone, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Page <- mainly for Death Wish) but now I’ve found a new hobby…listening to the score before watching the movie. “…its like, makes you 10x more higher!” Check out AFI’s Top 25 movie scores (out of 250 nominated) of all time.
2. Zack & Miri Make A Porno DVD – The filth-tape finally drops this Tuesday the 3rd. The 2-disc DVD features the making of, bloopers and the regular dozen of goodies we’ve all been waiting for. Get a signed copy of the DVD from Kevin Smith, if purchased off the J&SB website.

5. Chester French: She Loves Everybody – The single has been out for a hot minute, has numerous rotations, did damage and now the video will sweep the nation. Hate if you must, but you’ll soon be singing to the sounds of the Harvard boys.
6. Spooks – The rapper-slash-philosopher, super extraordinaire phenomenon. He’s currently performing open-mics across Hamilton and will be scheduled for performances in March. More info to follow.

1. Iron Man – which in my opinion is the greatest Marvel movie made to date. Nothing too sappy, too childish, too grown or over blown. Just right, bout a mid-aged genius/alcoholic. I’m sure we can all relate. DVD just released this past Tuesday and is stuffed with 4 hours of extra goodies.
2. HB Pencils – A real artist’s true friend.
3. Archie Comics – I haven’t read one in 8 years and just got back into it. The characters are still the same and Jughead is still the man.
4. GQ Magazine – 2 words: Megan Fox
5. KanYe West: 808′s and Heartbreaks – Possibly one of the illest titles I’ve heard and I’m really looking forward to Ye’s new direction in music.
6. Nike – We have so much to thank for and they have so much to offer. However, fuck child labour.
7. Zack and Miri make a Porno – The name alone is enough to grab your attention and raise curiosity. From the genius mind of Kevin Smith, comes another hilarious flick starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks.
8. Entourage Season 5 – I don’t get how it seems to get funnier and funnier by every episode. “A bitch-slap for a bitch” – Ari Gold
9. Patty x Cocoa Bread – Shiiiiii, you better ask somebody.
10. Dark Knight – I feel sorry for all other DVD releases for December 9th 2008. This will do serious damage.

I know I been slacking on these but here we go for . . .

2. Righteous Kill - De Niro x Pacino =  Check Mate. Just be damn happy you were part of this Boo-Boo. Opened this past Friday.
3. T.I.’s “What Up, What’s Haapnin” Video – I haven’t enjoyed a music video this much since 2003. The man pulls up a lawn chair and squat in Shawty Lo’s hood, puts the man’s grandparents in the video and parties with his whole hood. How gangster is Tip?
4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall 3-Disc DVD – Only the Apatow crew will give you 3-discs of improve material. And that too, for a comedy. Drops Sept 30th.

7. Kanye West: Love LockDown - The auto-tune is acceptable and his new direction is real inspiring. I guarantee you that his next album, if not this one, will sound something like Viva La Vida.

4. Powerade/Gatorade Leave the sugar for the summer and replenish respectfully.
