Ever wanted to be a Power Ranger?

Well now you can be one step closer to having that dream with these new X-Game inspired Supra TK's. If it were me I wouldn't buy em but if I were a Power Ranger I would.

Drake defends his video and Kanye in a interview with MTV

Drake talks about himself as an artist:

"We've done such a great job of building it all up. It's kind of like people were getting this impression of me that I'm never gonna make a mistake. I'm not made of Teflon. I'm gonna do things for myself sometimes, as opposed to what people want me to do."

He also talks about the process behind the video:

"If you listen to the song, I'm not saying the most graceful thing in the world. It's not the most heartfelt song,"

Drake continued. "I say some pretty wild things in regards to women in the actual song. When me and Kanye were in the studio working on a song for Big Sean, we were talking about it. We saw a comedic element to it. I felt that the climate in the world right now, everything in the world is so serious all the time, my life is serious, I just wanted to laugh, instead of taking myself too serious as the heartthrob and walking hand-in-hand into the movies and taking my shirt off. I felt it's not that time for me yet. Or maybe never. I'm a very multifaceted person. One thing I told 'Ye is, 'I really want to act. I want to act in this video.' "

Now the BIG thing is that Kanye West wanted to remake the video, which I think its kinda lame. As an artist, Kanye shouldn't have to remake something because some"fans" and viewers didn't understand the lyrics of drakes song, or envisioned a different concept for Drake's video. Although it would be intresting to see what other ideals Kanye west has for drakes debut video. I guess this is the best we'll ever have of this video.

Forza for the 3rd time

To all my Xbox 360 fans Forza 3 is soon to be in our hands hopefully for an October 27th release, instead of 2010. I've always been a fan of the game but I was never any good. Plus the steering wheel was hot. Yall can catch me (DVictor1290), Lucid00 (Katoh00) or Rizzo Mercer (R3mMerZ) on Xbox live.

Halo Legends

This is a follow up to the [vague unless you clicked the link,] Halo anime post.

Basically the upcoming Halo anime will be titled Halo Legends and it will feature 7 short films ala Animatrix, created by 5 Japanese anime production companies : Production I.G., Studio 4°C, Bones, Toei Animation and Casio Entertainment(Sorry no Wikipedia article).

Honestly if you're not into Halo or XBox but are into anime I'd say this is worth a peek even if just for the production studios. I know nothing of Casio Entertainment (never knew they had an entertainment company, I thought they only made watches and calculators) but I could say alot about the others. Production I.G. is the animation studio best known for Ghost in the Shell, Toei Animation is easily recognized by more than just anime fans as the guys behind Dragonball Z, Bones was the studio behind Full Metal Alchemist and Studio 4°C I'd say is freshly new but I know em for the (horrible, horrible) Transformers cartoon on TV right now they were also responsible for Utada Hikarus "Passions" music video, Linkin Parks "Breaking The Habit" video and this really awesome Nike commercial.

Halo Legends will be previewed on the new Halo Waypoint for XBox Live and it'll be released on DVD and Blu-Ray (oh the irony) by Warner Bros in 2010.

Honestly as someone who's not a huge FPS or Halo fan (I've beaten Halo2 and played 1 and 3) I gotta say, Microsoft went all out here. To get some of the largest production companies in anime and have them work on the XBoxes biggest franchise is a huge move, I know I'll watch it.

Check out the video below.



Note: And I know this is the most I've ever written for a post on this blog.

Subscribe to us on FriendFeed

We know all of the hype right now is Twitter and Facebook and that they won't cease to keep you guys in touch with friends online, but we're always ready for the next best thing when it comes to the web so we wanted you guys to check us out on FriendFeed.

All of the major social networks that you can find us on have been linked to FriendFeed (except for MySpace which doesn't matter regardless) so you can check out and comment on everything we do on the web from one site (in real time) and if you're already on Facebook, Twitter or have a Google Account (aka a Gmail account) you don't even have to make a new account. In the future we plan to integrate FriendFeed (along with some other sites) directly into our blog, so keep an eye on any updates we may have.

Nixon Newton Watch

The Newton watch is a definitely head turner, I know first hand as everyday I go to my college, I get a comment on how cool it is. Some people like it because it has a very clean, simple, 80's retro look to it. Other people like it because the design revolves around Sir Issacs Newton Theory of gravity. Even though this watch came out in december This is one cool watch that is worth buying if you have the money. Check out more on the Newton and other Nixon watches here.

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn

(Yea, I don't understand the title either)
This is a new Gundam series coming out apparently taking place in the Universal Century timeline along side the first series and so on (0080, Chars Counter Attack, 0083, 08th MS team, etc).

Honestly, I know nothing of what's it about, I don't understand the title, the preview says nothing if you can't speak Japanese and Gundam 00 was so awesome I think I'm going to watch it again. The universal century plot line was cool and all, but I don't know what there's left to talk about if they're still fighting in it.

Nerds gotta stay fresh too

This is one of the many sneaker post I will appear on Acrylic Style and plus, I'm a fan of The Simpsons so I had to do it.

I'm not sure what category this goes in, whether it be a documentary or a comedy but I'll leave that decision up to you.

This is a serious problem!

Lupe Fiasco - Fat Joe

(For some reason, it's up on imeem with the title Love Fiasco, but on the song itself he states that the song is called Fat Joe. Whatever.)

This apparently was a HipHopGame.Com exclusive (as stated on the track) so it'd make sense that I've never heard it.

It's pretty fire though.

"First let me say - that I really like this track, I call it Fat Joe this - ain't no Fat Joe diss track, so Lupe don't play - like the disc scratch, I send trouble your way - like a dispatch"

"Michael Jackson's Kids Could Be Performers"

That's what Joe Jackson said in a recent interview with Good Morning America. He also promoted his new record label at the BET Awards after being asked a question about his son. How disgusting can you be to bring something like that up during a time like this?

Post 100!

I'll play it simple and just say check out the top left of the site.

It's pretty much simple for now, in the future it'll do alot more.

Stuff I'm Bumpin vol. 1

Now as someone who's running a record label I know I shouldn't do this per say, since it'd be aiding competition or what have you, but who cares it's all love and these people are nice.

Here's a list of tracks from a bunch of up and coming artists (like ourselves) that are most certainly fire.

• BrandUn DeShay - An Ocean of Stars
• Chiddy Bang - Because
• propaYne - Keep Calm
• NoVa - Get out my head
• A-List Society - Do It!
• The Insomniaks (Illecism & Nicatyne) - Midnight Club
• Nicatyne - Wanna
• Azealia Banks - Gimme A Chance
• S-Preme - On Nerd
• XV - The Mase Flow
• Sean Rose - 100 Miles & Running
• J. Nolan - Heartbreak Hotel
• PreZZure - Paralyzed
• Gerald Walker - A New Day
• HollyWeerd - Weerdo

Now I know you've noticed I put "vol. 1" at the top.
This is basically like the old definition of a mixtape, where kids used to record a series of songs on to a cassette tape and share it with friends, I'm just sharing stuff I listen to with you.

I plan to continue writing posts like these every once in a while, if you're an artist, send us an e-mail with a link to a track of yours and if we like it, we may just post it, if we don't we'll be honest with you and not in a mean way (trust me we're experts in constructive criticism).

(Also, this is our 99th post. Post 100 will end in something great.)

EDIT (12/20/2011): Removed She's So by Visionary P as he (Mark Pheonix) has joined ASMG.
This also brings the "Stuff I'm Bumpin" post standard down to 15 songs, instead of 16.

Aside from the fact that I made alot of small tweaks to this site (especially when viewed on mobile devices) we now have one cool feature [that people will actually care for].

Users can now become fans of us on Facebook on our site itself, I know if you're already a fan it doesn't matter, but theres more underlying here than you think.

Slowly I'll integrate our fan page more with our actual site (then it'll matter).

This is what I've been working on why I haven't been posting as often.

I haven't tested the site on any of the other mobile Opera browsers such as the one's on the DS, the one for Windows Mobile or the 1st Sony Mylo, but I assume it should work.

Also our site will run perfectly on the newly announced Google Chrome OS! (I know what you're thinking, I'm a nerd and that's the only reason why I can even be excited about these things)
