Weird title for Just Blaze's new blog. That was going to be my entire post but I wanted to note how weird it was for a rapper to have a normal person blog, complete with bad sentence structure (see Duchdown Adventures)and annoyingly bad gimmicks. It's increasingly cool how JB is positioning himself as more of a hipster artist what with with the Alife and John Mayer collab. I guess now we all know Money Can Buy Cool.
Our latest Kanye bashing post aside, we really do quite enjoy his music. That's why the leak of his latest "Can't tell me nothin" mixtape has sent us into a bowel releasing, techno-craving tizzy....Wait, that was kind of gay....Umm...Well, here's the link, and make sure if you're not using a Macbook you stop off and get Stuffit to extract the compressed files. Oh, and the joint with Pharrell and Lupe Fiasco is quite nice. Makes me want to dance in the rain and sing songs about leperchauns. Okay, I've really got to go now...
I think Ibn Jasper's real name is Norrin Radd. Wherever he goes the culture eater we know as Kanye West soon appears. I checked him on The Hundreds site. First Jay-Z, then Mims and now Kanye. But I wanted to address the common perception among hypebeasters that whenever something goes mainstream it losses some of its cache. While i don't agree that going mainstream necessarily sinks a brand, I do believe that once something hits the down-market it will suffer. A perfect example is the case of Burberry.

I'm not sure whether I should be writing this or not, all the services we use are powered by the Sand Hill Road giant...But, Robert Cringely wrote an essay for PBS about the downfall of Google. As I'm pretty sure that most of our readers don't actually READ , I'll very quickly summarize:
Really, quick: TechCrunch has 10,000 Joost beta invites. GigaOm has 20,000. Michael Arrington seems to think getting a Joost invite now is what getting a gmail invite was a couple of years ago. The whole idea is actually kind of awesome: Joost allows you to watch television on your computer anytime you want. Other than watching South American Basketball, Argentinean Rugby, and a little QD3, I haven't had a chance to give it a full run. But, check out the screenshots and go ahead and get your invites.
Yeah, I told you really technorati. Sorry for the delay, we've been working on getting our new Zooomr account set up. They have been having trouble with bringing the photos from the old database of Mark II to the new database of Mark III, so they haven't launched quite yet. Nevertheless, You should probably head on over to Zooomr now as the site is going to be amazing. Something like a Flickr gold (a reference to the other blog I write for, if you find it tell me and I'll toss you something cool) the site not only allows you to upload and share pictures but to sell them as stock photos. Awesome!!! The search features are quite unique and the 19yr old (thats right) founder Kris Tate keeps a video blog as they prepare to launch. Go check em out.
That was a bad post, we know. But don't worry we've got more juicy goodness for you!!! I just felt I should let you know we're going to get really Technorati around here. So, bear with us.
