Jay-Z Freestyle ReUp

Yesterday we hit you with some stale product. No disrespect. Here's an updated rendition of Jay-Z's freestyle he performed in Vegas a few days back (this time live from Chicago). He added a few more lines and didn't mind starting off with an advance apology for anyone sensitive to his choice of words. Much respect to the person who shot this video and cared the least bit about image quality... Can't say the same about yesterday's video. In HD of course. You know what to do.  

Mr. Hudson ft. Kanye West - Anyone But Him

Here is a new joint from Mr. Hudson and Kanye West. I would describe this song as different, but catchy none the less. Press Play. Also I've added this song to the Fresh Ipod. Scroll down for that...

The Science Behind Autotune

This is a video of the Nova show on PBS that shows the science behind Autotune. The creator of the software talks about his invention. Kinda interesting. Press play...in HD of course.

Kobe V Sample

Last NBA season, Nike combined its newest shoe technology and features to bring us the low cut, light weight Kobe IV. It looks like Nike's following a similar path for 2009-2010 with the Kobe V. I spotted this pic at NiceKicks. I don't know how light you could possibly want your hoop shoes, but it looks like they've managed to replace even more of the upper with flywire technology. In the interest of serious ball players everywhere (from the rec to the league), I am glad to see that they're at least thinking about ankle safety by possibly incorporating an ankle sleeve similiar to the one we saw on the Melo 4. The low cut was the main reason I never stepped on the court in the Kobe IVs. So far these look like a solid basketball shoe that could break my rotation. These are a sample, so no telling what we're going to see a few months from now. What do you think?

Lupe Fiasco's Trilly & Truly

This is a video shot by Complex where Lupe (rocking a pre-D.O.A. Hov afro) talks about his new street wear clothing line Trilly and Truly. He talks about the limited nature of some of the designs, but how he also wants it to be accessible. On a side note, that maroon and white varsity letterman is real dope. That black shirt (the picture in the still frame of the video) with the flying black kid is also hot. Simple, but hot nonetheless. I look forward to seeing what else materializes from his clothing line. It is clear Lupe has defined exactly what inspires him and his clothing line. Press play.
