The Weekly Top Ten - July 11, 2008

“I mean, this some shameful shit.” - Senator Clay Davis
That’s the best I can give in regards to my weekly “top tens” — being that the last one (and first one) took place over a month ago, all I can do is SMH (= shake my head for those who no speaky dee text message). But, no excuses…shall we get into it?
I no particular order, I bring you:
1. Apple’s New 3G iPhone
$199? Yeah? Let’s go. Service plan squabbles aside, Steve is about to do his numbers. This commercial is DUMB by the way.
2. Bill Gates x Warren Buffett x NetJets Ad

(Cue Lil’ Wayne voice) “OLD MONEEEY!” Caught this in the Robb Report at the dentist’s office a couple weeks back. Ads like this will get everyone talking that millionaire/billionaire shit silenced ee-meedg-iately. Going to the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting > anything your favorite rapper owns. Check the full sized ad here.
3. Sneakers. I Like Them Again.
Nike Air Penny II Retros:


Nike Air Jordan VII/XVII Countdown Pack:

Nike Air Max 90 Infareds:

Asics x Alife GEL LYTE III:

BONUS: Jordan III Retro Cleats. My brother & I used to love watching dudes on the field/turf rocking J’s modded for the gridiron. These > team exclusives IMHO.

4. D&H Falen Sports Car


I couldn’t tell you much about the specs, but the way that the Falen opens up is wild. Plus, D&H will only be producing FOUR. Exclusivity at its finest.
Spotted this over at ‘Ye’s. More pics here.
HONORABLE MENTION: Hydrorunner x Ronn Motors’ Scorpion Hydrogen Car. With looks like these and 40 miles per gallon you can’t lose.

5. Becker Auto Designs’ Jet Van
These guys made me not want a Maybach anymore.




I mean, a Dodge/Benz Sprinter isn’t as cool on the outside, but…who cares?!?! Becker can also convert a Suburban if the big top isn’t your steez.
6. The Testimony Of Gemstones Mixtape

Gemstones has made my morning rides into the city so much better. It’s been quite some time since an artist actually inspired me to want to make more music. Download it here.
7. Jasmine Sullivan feat. Missy Elliot - “Need You Bad”
The second coming of Lauryn??? Not sure, but “Need You Bad” is beyond official.
8. Making Robots Out Of Other Stuff



TVs, Styrofoam and a Lego Johnny Five. The future is now.
9. Buying Things.
I finally got my Inspiration tee, but the conspicuous consumption must go on!
Disney x XLarge Mickey Mouse T-Shirt. Anything Disney is the shit.

The Speak-er. Tell me, was this NOT made for an MC?

10. Public Transportation > Driving

Gas prices? Psh. The PATH train for the win.

I envy all who has the 3gb Iphone lol.
On a side note:
Public transportation = “Now I can buy groceries & pay bills, again!”
