Promo Video: Merry Christmas from Santa Jamaica!
“He’s small, he’s crazy and he will deliver your message for Christmas!”
I’m not sure what the f-ck is going on in this promo spot for Eastpak or if they should be charged with racism or coonery for releasing that into the world but I do know that my new lunch bag kind of looks like the ‘backpack’ ‘Santa Jamaica’ bursts out of!
Busted Brazilian Drug Lord Pezao a Huge Fan of Justin Bieber?
Rick Ross must be crying in his glass of Rosé that Canada’s teenybop idol has more street cred in Brazil’s Favelas than him….
“More than two thousand heavily armed police operatives swept into Rio’s most notorious shantytown today following a week of explosive confrontations that have left at least 50 people dead.
The operation, unprecedented in the city’s history, began at around 8am and focused on the Complexo do Alemao, a gigantic network of slums that is the HQ of Rio’s Red Command drug faction and houses around 70,000 impoverished residents.
According to police the favela had been “conquered” by around 9.30am, with drug traffickers offering little resistance.
Gang members reportedly attempted to flee the 2,600 police and army operatives through the favela’s sewage system or by disguising themselves as Bible-carrying evangelical preachers.
They left behind “mansions” filled with wide-screen televisions, swimming pools and a sauna. In the home of Pezao, one of the area’s top traffickers, police found a giant poster of the Canadian singer Justin Bieber.”
H.O.O.D. Fridays: A message from Kanye West’s Street Team….
“With today being Ye Day, it’s only right that we discuss the most important artist in the streets… Main Street or otherwise.”
This is great. The Yeezy aka’s are hilarious and The Real are spot-on in their skewering of that faux street patina major label hip hop release TV spots always use. Comedy….
Also, check out the special all-Kanye episode of their Hype Men podcast. [via RefinedHype]

Surreal! Except of course, that’s Jimmy Fallon in character as Neil Young. Still amazing and hilarious though.
