12-15-11: Mad props to my homie J.Li for hooking me up with access to this private Adidas event with performances by the "New West" below:

>>> Casey Veggies, YG, Dom Kennedy, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, and a special appearance by Terrace Martin

I also want to send a s/o to my homie DrewByrd who was dj'ing all night, spinning the classic Bay/LA hits that got the crowd going. I can remember from way back when he first began dj'ing, and just seeing where he is today goes to show you that hard work does pay off. Man, I'm so proud of you homie  #nohomo

Such an awesome showcase of the new generation in the WestCoast. The only direction is up from here.. #stayfresh

Day 153: I Do It by Big Sean over the 9.8 D.Rose Adidas Commercial (Video)

I just saw this new Adidas commercial for Derrick Rose's new shoe during the OKC vs MAVs game yesterday (sad loss for okc...), and as soon as I heard the beat I knew it was from this recent song by Big Sean. Chekkit:

Big Sean - I Do It


"My crew is who I be widdy-be-wid-it, Rosé i sippity-sip-it, I'm Quagmire I f*ck hoes, my cashflow I giggy-d-gig-it..." - Big Sean

(This verse is creative & funny at the same time!)

Overall, I think this song is pretty dope and I've been really diggin Big Sean's rap style lately. He's been on the come up in my radar, and I have a feeling he's gonna have a big year this year. I met him real briefly once and he seems like a chill d00d too.

Be on the lookout for his first real album dropping this year called Finally Famous scheduled to be released in the Summer (6/21/11).

Day 145: D.Rose finally winning MVP!! = New Commercials (Video)

I gotta give a big shout out to one of my favorite Point Guards, Derrick Rose, who was just declared #MVP of this NBA season yesterday =)

He is probably the most explosive, talented, & clutch player in today's league, and is super exciting to watch every time he steps onto the courts. I really hope he can power through that hurt ankle of his and continue to stay on fire through the playoffs now that he's the MVP (even with that hurt ankle). Leggo!

I already saw two MVP commercials with D.Rose, and I just so happen to have found one of them by Adidas:



The other one was a Powerade commercial that I saw on TV, but it's not posted up online yet. When it does, I'll post it up.

Congrats to D.Rose now go handle some business tonight vs the Hawks! #gobulls

Day 136: Childish Gambino Music Vid + Adidas Commercial x Dwight Howard

Childish Gambino - Freaks & Geeks

- Alt Audio Link

Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover just popped into my radar after I heard this song. #str8fresh

I'm really liking this track b/c its got a real uplifting beat (#motivated), but his lyrics/overall flow is just ok and could use some work.. I mean, this d00d is still young in the industry and has talent to work with, so this part of his music should only get better.

Oh yea, did you know this guy starred in the NBC show, Community? He's actually pretty funny too! =D

Last note: the cool thing about this track is that it's featured on the new Adidas commercial with Dwight Howard. Chekkit:


- Saw it here first: Complex (my kind of reading material!)

I'm not gonna buy into Childish Gambino's hype just yet, but I'll keep a lookout on him for now.

Day 125: 3D Adidas Display/Show - Really Cool!! (Video)

- How dope is that?!

Since Adidas started their "Adidas is all in" campaign, it's been getting a really good buzz lately and has expanded internationally as well.

I'm not sure where this video took place but as soon as I saw this 3D display/show, I was like DAAAAM that's pretty f-'ing awesome! I really like how well the graphics & the action turned out from the beginning to end, and the way they were able to make it look so real using a building as the canvas. Very cool.

Hmmm, Nike or Adidas? Well, I'm caught in between both brands right now and feel Adidas is leveling out the playing field these days. Where does your brand loyalty lie? =X

Day 123: The New Look for Adidas ft. Derrick Rose, Katy Perry, B.o.B. & More

I've been seeing this cool "Adidas is all in" campaign going on a lot recently, and I just want to share this new commercial they've unveiled. It's a very motivating & uplifting commercial featuring some of their top athletes & musical artists such as Derrick Rose, Katy Perry, B.o.B., and more.

I really like how they tie in music & sports together, and I can see why because being a professional athlete or a widely-known musician require so much hard work if you want to compete with the best and stay on top of the game.

I'm starting to like where Adidas is heading as a brand right now. I'm all in.

Good lookin Shimp-Dizzle for showing me this one =)

TGIF!

Day 44: Fast Don't Lie by Adidas (Videos)

Ken Jeong is one of the funniest d00ds of this new generation of comedians, and has been blowing up ever since he premiered in the movie, The Hangover. I just saw these funny Adidas commercial featuring him as "Slim Chin" alongside two top NBA all-stars, Dwight Howard & Derrick Rose. Check it out; he's really funny:

Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, & Slim Chin - Fast Don't Lie


Derrick Rose & Slim Chin - adiZero Rose

- Shoes look pretty dope

Props to my homie C-Murdaaaah for showing me this.

TGIF!!
