In the latest episode in Skateboard P’s ARTST TLK series he sits down with Usher to speak on his own long-standing career, his early days under the tutelage of Diddy, his live performance as well as his relationship with Justin Bieber, before they have a three-way convo with Pharrell’s latest protégée Leah LaBelle.
In a world of “selfies” and “duck lips”, I found Jon Burgerman’s most recent project rather amusing and nothing short of clever.
“Intrigued by the Tumblr-girl phenomenon—where images of girls are posted online and then endlessly reblogged on various Tumblr sites—Brooklyn-based illustrator Jon Burgerman has decided to join in. Only instead of simply reposting selected images of girls he sees on various Tumblr sites, he’s been drawing them and then blogging the resulting colourful, playfully irreverent images. ‘I draw girls I see on Tumblr and place them back onto Tumblr. I try to post one every day,’ says Burgerman of the project’s simple premise.
A self-initiated (and self-explanatory) project, Burgerman’s new Tumblr blog—dubbed “Drawings Of Girls I’ve Seen On Tumblr” — has been up and running for a couple of weeks now and features images with titles such as “Girl Looking Tough”, “Girl With Lots Of Tattoos,” or “Girl With Harry Styles.” He tells us, ‘It’s a mix and flattening of a variety of images of models, [girls in] adverts, celebrities, self-taken shots, etc that all borrow the same visual language from each other and hanker for the lingering gaze of the viewer.’ The idea is, he adds, that the new blog acts as a kind of ‘visual discussion of this cultural trend.’”
Below are a few of the pieces I like personally. I think we can all identify ourselves or our girlfriends in his brilliant mockery, haha. Enjoy!

Beyoncé just released some new photos from her trip to Cuba last month with hubby Jay-Z!
The couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in the country alongside both of their mothers.
Bey and Jay went sightseeing and checked out some of the country’s famous retro cars and gorgeous architecture.

Bey also took time to pose with a few local schoolchildren, who appeared to be huge fans of the songstress!
How fun does their vacay look?

That name rings bells, sounds alarms, and much, much more!
We may agree to disagree when it comes to Kanye’s character, but we can not deny his genius!
Actually… let’s take a minute to pull the definition of “genius”.
A genius is a person who displays exceptional intellectual ability, creativity, originality, typically to a degree that is associated with the achievement of unprecedented insight. There is no scientifically precise definition of genius, and the question of whether the notion itself has any real meaning has long been a subject of debate.
With that said…
Over the weekend, Kanye introduced the World to his new song, “New Slaves”.
Premiering on 66 buildings in 6 countries across the World, Kanye has done it again. The presentation, the message, everything… pure genius!
After reading reviews on various sites, I was surprised to see that people were saying Kanye was somewhat contradictory in voice due to his flashy rhymes of the past. Many felt that he was out of line to address how people have indeed become slaves to consumerism, when he has boasted about material things in many of his songs.
I beg to differ!
Kanye, in my opinion, is one of the few lyricists (today) who can be both righteous and “rachet”, for lack of a better word. I feel for Kanye! It is almost as if he can’t win! If he raps about a particular lifestyle, (that he is actually living), it’s too much, but if he attempts to open the eyes of people to things that affect US ALL, it’s not enough. Had it not been for some of those very “turned up” lyrics Kanye bought about in the past, perhaps this very song and message may not have been so viral, and just maybe he would not have been as capable of reaching so many different people and places as well.
Call me biased. Call him genius. It doesn’t take away from his work!
You can view “New Slaves” below! How do you feel about it?
The 2013 Hip Hop Conference was an incredible event and the first of its kind. Brought to you by SK The General and Juan SupaEars, many Hip hop Moguls and Record Label Execs. were in the building to scope out the many acts that came to perform. Hip hop Legend Rah-Digga, Big Sev of NI-Marketing and Newark Illustrated, Do it All Do and a host of others held a Q & A with the audience. This is what is needed in the Hip hop Industry, look out for the next one in October.
