Tyler, the Creator – Transylvania (Unofficial Video)

Tyler, the Creator - Transylvania (music video) from High5Collective on Vimeo.


Who said unofficial videos are only for crooners? After creating unofficial videos for The Weeknd and Frank Ocean, High 5 Collective return to the scene with a Kids-inspired visual interpretation of Tyler, the Creator’s Goblin cut “Transylvania.” In accordance with the song’s spirit, this one gets pretty disturbing. Share your thoughts on this below.

Lil Wayne Visits Drama’s Fantasy Factory In LA


Last Saturday, Lil Wayne, Lil Chuckee and Lil Twist visited Drama‘s Fantasy Factory in Los Angeles to chill before heading to a 2011 BET Awards event. You can read what Drama said about his experience with Weezy after the jump below, along with some photos from that day!

On Saturday morning I woke up to a text from my boy Mack Maine saying that Lil’ Wayne wanted to come to the Fantasy Factory. Definitely not the type of texts I’m used to waking up to just yet but it was a great way to start a Saturday. A lot of times people ask to come by when they’re in town but don’t end up having the time but not this time. They were actually about 20 minutes early. By the time I got to the Factory there was already a caravan of 4 Escalades and Waynes tour bus waiting outside of the gate. They pulled in behind us and Wayne hopped out of the bus with his skateboard, ready to go. Luckily there was nobody working at the Factory and it was completely empty so they were all able to play basketball, skate, jump in the foam pit without any worries. I definitely got the feeling that they don’t get to do stuff like this in private very often and it was sick to see everyone just chilling out and having fun. Zero ego’s or attitudes involved. I’m not even going to try to play cool guy here, it was so crazy sitting there with Wayne, talking like a regular dude trying to figure out how to ollie higher and trying to learn how to boarslide. Definitely a rare occurrence, and one of those moments when u take a step back and just think how crazy life is. The entire Cash Money family are some of the coolest most mellow dudes in the industry when they’re able to just relax. They ended up staying for a few hours before they had to take off to go to a BET event

How to Make It in America Season 2 Trailer



HBO’s How to Make It in America recently unveiled its trailer for its upcoming season 2. For those unfamiliar, the show focuses on the hustling lives of Ben Epstein and Cam Calderon who are eager to make their break into the cutthroat New York fashion scene.

The show’s opening trailer also includes Theophilus Monk‘s new single, “I STAND ALONE.”

MEGGS “Inner Demons” Exhibition @ Red Bull Studios Recap


We previously informed you about MEGGS’s upcoming “Inner Demons” exhibition at Red Bull Studios and, now, we have a full recap from the show’s opening. Exploring the role of demons – both mythical and metaphysical – the Australian artist displayed a wide array of sketches, paintings, sculptures and installation pieces all designed to evoke fear, discomfort and insecurity and, eventually, help viewers overcome these feelings. With paint dripping off of canvases and onto the walls and the presence of a quite literal “Inner Demon” sitting in an armchair in the studio, the exhibition is equal parts provocative art and show business glitz. Open now at Red Bull Studios in London.

Drake ~ Marvins Room


After spawning several remixes from JoJo, Teyana Taylor, and Chris Brown, Drake brings “Marvin’s Room” to life with the video for the original song. Everyone’s favorite Canadian gets drunk at a bar and calls up his ex-girlfriend, repeating the now famous lines: “F**k that ni**a that you love so bad. I know you still think about the times we had.”

After flirting with a new girl, a tipsy Drake retreats to the restroom, taking a look at himself in the mirror. His night then unravels in slow motion as he navigates through the streets of Toronto. Fall under the influence of Drizzy.

Louis Vuitton 2012 Spring/Summer Collection


Kim Jones has revealed his first series of menswear designs for legendary French luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton. Taking a more sportswear-oriented direction for Spring, the collection forayed away from the requisite tailored suits and sumptuous, basic knitwear that the brand is so well-known for although they were, of course, also included. A wide array of garments were on display in the show – from varsity jackets and polo shirts emblazoned with the Louis Vuitton Cup yachting competition logo to tightly-knotted bandanas, a brightly-colored take on their Damier pattern in the form of tasseled scarves and shorts, khaki outerwear and an Alligator bomber jacket complete with knit navy sleeves. The stern-faced models also carried some new, military-inspired bags in army green. Available in the fall, the Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 collection may not have been as adventurous as some other runway shows this season, but it certainly showcased an impressive range of high-fashion offerings
