Funny, but it’s greatness.

America Nu Magazine Issue #1 from Creative Control on Vimeo.

Dame decided to slide back to the publishing game, not mad at that. He was on this tip last with America Magazine under the watchful eye of Smokey Fontaine, Dame backed that joint..into what seemed like a corner, until it flat lined. I actually liked it, and I wish I knew the whole, true story behind it’s folding so I know what not to do. All good though, he’s back. After the video, peep the mag and flip through pages..right here.

I appreciate The HHCBlog shows Blogger Covering Bloggers type love in this joint. I appreciate the way @Nigel_D of RealTalkNy spits some truths about his hustle.

Ronnie Fieg brings together influential bloggers Marcus Troy, Joshua Kissi of Street Etiquette, William Yan, Greg Weinsten of Culture Shoq, and director Jake Davis to redesign and reconstruct classic footwear in the Dominican Republic for Sebago.

The Sebago Nexus Project looks pretty dope. I spotted the info at Antenna Mag but I really think the input of such great bloggers/taste-makers leads to quality product and I can always appreciate the use of social media. Peep the trailer, I will definitely be staying tuned to the creative greatness behind this project. Make sure you check out their respective blogs at William Yan x Culture Shoq x Street Etiquette x Ronnie Fieg x Jake Davis x Marcus Troy even if it’s just for kicks.

I’m late…days, hell months late, but I’m really enjoying these profile interviews by Dee Vazquez, pretty interesting stuff. You should head over to her Vimeo Account and peep game. Only thing I’ve placed on my Vimeo Account is Russell Simmons Unicef footage, LOL, but I will be uploading the new media about a month after summer. Dee does pretty dope Q&A, the format is nice, quiet, and it seems like everyone is genuine in their answers without lacking personality.

600 Million Dollar Will shall be the Father, on this series CBS picked up based on a Twitter account operated by the Son, Justin Halpern, who is obviously a genius for this idea. He basically used Twitter as a Guinea Pig to pitch this brilliant idea and create the following. Cool part about it, it’s a very funny Twitter feed.

HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA (WIREUPDATE.COM) — CBS Corporation (CBS) has officially picked up “Bleep My Dad Says” for the fall season. “Bleep My Dad Says” is based on the twitter account “Sh*t My Dad Says” in which the owner would post funny antidotes and quotes his father said.
The series will star William Shatner as the role of the father.

Justin Halpern, the author of the Twitter feed co-wrote the pilot episode. Halpern is a 29-year-old who felt his fathers sayings deserved their own twitter account. The feed now has over 1.3 million followers.
Among some of his latest tweets are:
“I don’t want your advice, you’re 27 f*cking years old…Fine. I don’t want your advice, you’re 29 f*cking years old.”
“You seen my cell phone?…What’s it look like? Like two horses f*cking. It’s a phone, son. It looks like a phone.”
