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.

Unreleased Apple Apples
November 18th, 2008 in Lifestyle by Lars
Just when you thought tech master Apple couldn’t expand their empire any further, they drop apples on our heads. Joke! Actually, a core Apple fan created these ‘Apple’ Apples by adhering stickers to the still-ripening fruits a month before picking. Using Japan’s most popular fruit, the Fuji apple, the superfan expresses his semi-organic love for the brand with the classic Apple logo, a ‘Love Apple’ logo, and the iPod. Could this be the be the dawn of a new ‘collaboration’ fad? Supreme x Bananas were actually done already. Our bad.

Hard Graft Delivers The Goods
November 17th, 2008 in Lifestyle by Lars
While street fashion takes on a more sophisticated approach, the tech dress-up department is lagging. Not many cool-guy tech companies Stateside compare with hard graft, an Austria-based independent creative company that meshes old-world style with the new, reinvigorating tech protective products that boast sophistication and confidence, but with a keen sense of self-awareness. As seen in their handmade ‘Held’ Laptop Sleeve for MacBook (above), their specifically designed 3mm thick %100 wool felt is what really gives their products that edge. Not to mention the bold design aesthetic found in the premium leather pocket and elastic straps. Don’t think it stops there, hard graft delivers cases for your iPod, phones and other gadgets as well as wallets and bags, all featuring a range of leathers and wools. View a couple highlights below then visit their site to order what you need. Christmas is just around the corner…and like hard graft’s smart motto says, “You lose what you don’t hold.”

Weapon Molded Luggage by Pink Wolf
November 17th, 2008 in Lifestyle by Lars
French designer Pink Wolf poses a few philosophical questions: What frightens us more? To know or to remain in ignorance? To see things or imagine them? Eh…we’re afraid that Pink Wolf may get us arrested at the airport but we’ll try to maintain our ignorance while we’re being cavity searched.
Pink Wolf designed this luggage set which consists of three different sized suitcases, each featuring a resin-encrusted weapon molded on the outside. Choose your weapon - a small blue suitcase with a knife, a medium gray case with a gun (above), or a large black case with an ax. View them all below and shoot Pink Wolf an email to purchase. TSA, what?

Endeavour Successfully Launches Into Space
November 15th, 2008 in Lifestyle by Lars
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. We gave you word that NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus will be blogging from space, and here is a photo of the shuttle she’s on, the Endeavour, which successfully launched into space last night. Here’s the caption straight form the NASA camp:
Blazing light surrounds Launch Pad 39A and glows in the nearby water as space shuttle Endeavour leaps into the sky on the STS-126 mission from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. STS-126 is the 124th space shuttle flight and the 27th flight to the International Space Station. The mission will feature four spacewalks and work that will prepare the space station to house six crew members for long-duration missions.
