Jay-Z wines and dines Lebron James
Hip-hop magnate and Nets minority owner Jay-Z has said publicly that he's not going to pressure his friend LeBron James to join his team, but who says he can't seduce him a little?
On Friday, less than a week before a handful of NBA ball clubs travel to Ohio to woo the soon-to-be free agent into one of their jerseys, King James spent some quality time with Jay-Z in New York, and got a taste of the super-swank life that could be his if he made the Nets his team.
James made a surprise appearance at the 40th birthday party for branding guru Steve Stoute that took place Friday night at a magnificent seventh-floor roof garden at Rockefeller Center. (In addition to being a close friend of Jay-Z's, Stoute is the founder of Translations, the marketing firm that has put James together with McDonald's and other deep-pocketed corporate sponsors.)
At the party, LeBron - who's no stranger to VIP treatment - got the full Jay-Z Family experience: he arrived with the rapper and his wife Beyoncé. Mary J. Blige was also on hand. He ate a meal catered by Chef April Bloomfield and the staff of the Spotted Pig, which counts Jay-Z as an investor. (Dishes included beef and Stilton pie and Arctic char; and at 2 a.m., breakfast with something called "steak and egg biscuits" was served.) And helping the crowd work off all those calories was Beyoncé's sister Solange Knowles, who played deejay for the evening.
According to another well-placed source, Jay-Z had plans to hang with LeBron on Thursday as well. The source says that Jay-Z had planned to make a midnight appearance with James at the NBA Draft Party that took place Thursday night at his 40/40 Club on W. 25th St. But, after spending the day working on his greatest hits CD, the rapper was "tired and hungry" and left James to his own devices, and the NBA star landed at Avenue with Blige.
Jay-Z's night out with James won't sit well with the New York Knicks. Reports say the Knicks scrapped plans to fete James with a pull-out-all-the-stops dinner in the city when they learned that James wouldn't be wooed in NYC. The NBA star's manager Maverick Carter announced that ball clubs would have to make the pilgrimage to Ohio to pitch James.
And it looks like Jay-Z has that angle covered as well. On Thursday, July 1, the day that James officially becomes a free agent, the rapper reportedly will travel to Akron, Ohio, with Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, where the Nets are first in line to make an official play for the forward. But with rumors floating that James is taking a good hard look at the Chicago Bulls, let's hope Jay-Z was putting the full-court press on his friend this past weekend.

Shane Mathewson Zoo York Australia
Shane Mathewson Zoo York Australia skateboarding clip for mid 2010. A tribute to RB Umali's Zoo York Mixtape from the mid 90's featuring live scratching by DJ Rob Swift from the X-ecutioners. The original Zoo York Mixtape featured Roc Raida (RIP, also from the X-ecutioners) and is still one of my favourite skate video's of all time, so when I discussed the idea of doing a tribute with Rob Swift it was amazing to discover he was into it as well. Big thanks to Rob Swift, RB Umali at Zoo York, Lush Productions in Melbourne and of course, Shane MathewsonFilmed and edited by Dan de Sousa Distributed by Tubemogul.

I'm looking forward to see what J.Cole will bring forward with his new official album since "The Warm Up" mixtape came so hard. Proclaiming his future goals and ambitions, it seems we are in store for a great talent and buisness minded individual in the hip-hop game. Keep him on lock.

Air Jordan 9 "Citrus" Release date change
Reports first stated that the Air Jordan 9 “Citrus” would officially hit on July 3rd, just one day before Independence Day. However, Jordan Brand has pushed its release up to a Thursday. The Air Jordan 9 “Citrus” was considered the most anticipated Air Jordan 9 of the year until news surfaced that the “Charcoal” Air Jordan 9s were returning. Nevertheless, it is still expected to be on the feet of many Air Jordan heads next Thursday. Who else thinks this is the best Air Jordan 9 release of 2010?
As stated earlier, the Air Jordan 9 “Citrus” will now hit retailers on Thursday, July 1st, 2010 for $150
Lil Wayne’s Latest Letter From Jail
I hope everyone’s summer has been going well doing whatever it is you like to do. On my end, I’m alive, breathing and blessed. You already know how I’m passing the time – reading and working out.

I promise to continue to update as much as I can and answer as many questions as I can from you guys. Shout out to my YM family for making me proud last night. Love and appreciate life. God bless.

AIR JORDAN 7 White/Orion Blue
In addition to the Air Jordan 3 White/Cement and the Air Jordan 13 “Playoffs”, Jordan Brand will also unleash an Air Jordan 7 during the year of 2011.
At a first glance, this shoe may remind you of the Air Jordan 7 “Pacific Blue” that released in 2006. However, the color schemes are obviously different. Orion blue and infrared accents provide nice color blocking on the predominately white leather upper and are specifically spotted on the sole, tongue and heel. Any chance we can see Kevin Durant play in these? Just one game? If you recall, we haven’t seen a colorway of MJ’s seventh signature sneaker since 2009’s Air Jordan 7 DMP 60+ Pack, and there has been no sign of an Air Jordan 7 release this year. Therefore, will you jump on this Air Jordan 7 White/Orion Blue when it releases?

Sigel is still trying to get at Jay-Z for the ROC fallout last year. Now, he's saying he'll slap Drake. Somebody seems mad about the 425,000+ units sold Drake's first week. I know Drake said he wont respond to any beef in the industry, but I'd like to hear a Beanie Diss track from him.

ARTIST QUOTE
"How do you impress people who have everything in the world? Show them something unique that no one else in the world can create. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to meet some of the world’s greatest athletes and celebrities. And the funny thing is, as much as I’m impressed with them, when they’ve seen my work, they wind up being impressed with me! I’ve been fortunate to find myself on the field with Cal Ripken Jr…on the court with Michael Jordan…on the set with Will Smith…backstage with Garth Brooks…and even at the White House with President Clinton and Vice President Gore. I’ve truly been blessed. "
