Happy Birthday & R.I.P. J-DILLA
(February 7, 1974 – February 10, 2006) Sorry for the late wishes to Detroit producer/MC James ‘J-Dilla’ Clancy. He is the genius behind tracks for Common, A Tribe Called Quest, D’Angelo, Busta Rhymes, De La Soul. He never got the recognition he deserved. So look up some of his tracks and you’ll be blown away by what he’s produced. Or click here

Kanye West to Present Ready-to-Wear Line at Paris Fashion Week
Karla Otto, Kanye West’s PR agency, confirmed to WWD that West will show at 9.30 p.m. on March 6. The venue has yet to be confirmed. I know he was hit pretty hard by the critics at his last show, but I appreciate that he has interests in pushing his love for fashion out side of the hip hop scene. I wish him good luck.

Vittra Telefonplan School in Stockholm
In connection with the establishment of a new Vittra school in Stockholm, Telefonplan, Rosan Bosch has created the school’s interior with spatial divisions and significant custom design. The interior takes it point of departure in Vittra’s pedagogical principles and serves as a pedagogical tool for development in the everyday of the school. Instead of classical divisions with chairs and tables, a giant iceberg for example serves as cinema, platform and room for relaxation, and sets the frame for many different types of learning.

David Choe Just Made 200 Million USD for Painting the Facebook Office
This week Facebook announced that they will be going public in the near future. Along with the filing, they had to reveal the current ownership state of the company. In 2005 David Choe chose to be paid in stock rather than cash and it looks like that stock will be worth 200 Million USD, if Facebook will be valued on the open stock market at the estimated 100 Billion Dollar mark.
“In 2005, Mr. Choe was invited to paint murals on the walls of Facebook’s first offices in Palo Alto, Calif., by Sean Parker, then Facebook’s president. As pay, Mr. Parker offered Mr. Choe a choice between cash in the “thousands of dollars,” according to several people who know Mr. Choe, or stock then worth about the same.Mr. Choe, who has said that at the time that he thought the idea of Facebook was “ridiculous and pointless,” nevertheless chose the stock.Many “advisers” to the company at that time, which is how Mr. Choe would have been classified, would have received about 0.1 to 0.25 percent of the company, according to a former Facebook employee. That may sound like a paltry amount, but a stake that size is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, based on a market value of $100 billion. Mr. Choe’s payment is valued at roughly $200 million, according to a number of people who know Mr. Choe and Facebook executives.”

DIE ANTWOORD: I fink your freeky
I thought these guys were a joke when I first saw one of their original film clips, but they’ve somehow grown on me. I don’t know if it’s because of the bizarre film clips or the South African hip hop music. Either way, they’re something different.
