Complex January/December: Jim Jones
November 19th, 2008 in Lifestyle by Lars
Nobody does it better than Complex:
Ah, Jimmy Jones. You thought he was done after “Ballin’”? Think again. With a starring role in an off-Broadway play called The Hip-Hop Monologues and his latest single “Pop Champagne” terrorizing clubs around the nation, it’s official: Capo is back in a major way.
In early 2009, Jones will drop his fourth album (and first major label look) Prey IV Reign, as well as a fitness DVD, a Damon Dash produced documentary and a role in Starz drama Crash. By now, we’re sure you read the Daily News article about Dame Dash’s comments, but get ready for the full story. In our [Complex's] Jim Jones interview (with an assist from Dame), he speaks on Jay-Z, Cam’ron, Kanye, Max B, and of course the controversial T.I swag-check that we leaked weeks ago. Read The Full Cover Story Here before the issue hits stands on December 4.
As a bonus, visit Complex to peep two hilarious videos taken on the set of their shoot.

Complex: N.E.R.D. & Lupe Fiasco Cover!
August 1st, 2008 in Lifestyle by Lars
No shoddy scanned images here. We come at you with the heat. Complex Magazine officially posted their Aug/Sept “Style and Design” collector’s edition issue cover, which not only features celeb musicians N.E.R.D. and Lupe Fiasco, but celeb artists KAWS and Todd “REAS” James. Complex wanted to fuse music and art in a new way, and did so by letting KAWS “take hold” of Pharrell and the gang while REAS hooks up Lupe with a sunny backdrop. Even better, KAWS did more custom artwork, check out two of his in-issue pieces after the jump.
If you’re still hungry, wait until next Monday for the other side of their August/September issue—two sexy covers with Cassie (that’s 4 total, if you’re counting), along with a titillating series of videos from her shoot that are sure to have the ’net going nuts. See more KAWS artwork after the jump and visit Complex for the full story, including videos of the Lupe/N.E.R.D photoshoot as well as an interview with KAWS!
