Hilarious: Aziz Ansari discusses a night out with Kanye & Jay-Z
This video actually reminds me of Kanye's new short film, in which he is in a club... bobbing his head to his own music.... and stumbling around the club, bragging about how dope HIS music is!
STEENSTRA GCM ELECTRIC SUPERCAR
Steenstra GCM, founded by renowned Dutch car designer Cor Steenstra is in process of making electric supercars full of style and performance. The Styletto is intended to be a Super Sports Car that would go past 200mph on near-zero emissions. Steenstra hasn't revealed much details yet and is looking for an investor to make this project a reality. If all goes well, the car is likely to make a debut at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concourse d ‘Elegance. More pictures after the....
Kanye West: Glow in the Dark
Kanye West Glow in the Dark captures on-stage and behind-the-scenes action from Kanye’s “Glow in the Dark” tour. From Bonnaroo to Beijing (and many stops before and in between) the global voyage comes to life through the captivating photography of Nabil Elderkin. Kanye’s conceptual sketches help contextualized the finished staging, and provide a welcome complement to the action footage. Most compelling, however, are the shots of Kanye backstage both alone and with fellow performers.
The book begins with a conversation between Mr. West and Spike Jonze. Their chat covers Kanye’s reasoning for documenting the tour and delves into family and politics as well. From there, the images play out chronologically through the tour dates. Towards the end, press and listening parties for 808’s and Heartbreak fold into the story. With little text, Kanye West Glow in the Dark, is primarily about visual spectacle. The accompanying cd includes live instrumentals, which work to help flesh out the feel of the stage performance. Richer than the studio recordings, these tracks are a welcome addition.
For those of us who were unable to catch the tour, the book serves well. Until, of course, a tour video comes…
The book is published by Rizzoli and available to order through Colette.
Selected pages after the jump.

Perception is Everything..
I was talking to this girl earlier... And in the middle of the conversation about my upcoming book....She stopped and said..."Are you really rich?".. I after i spoke on that i realized that perception is everything.
Perception is how we see the world around us. It’s the image we have of everything around us. Suppose you are sitting in a crowded train early in the morning on your way to work in the city or in a bus, and you look around you, you observe the commuters or passengers and from their attitudes, style, dress sense, mannerism deduce certain information to form an opinion about them. The opinions you ascertain might be far from the truth and in most cases are, but unless and until you know them personally you cannot know what “is” the truth or what they “really” are like. With the information you learn from the people around you, you unconsciously filter it and approve or disapprove of it, depending on what you consider good or bad.
At times I feel like, or I sense, that I am being judged simply because I fit into previously held preconceptions of some people. People have the tendency to stereotype, and they do this too involuntarily because of previous experiences or because of what the society wants them to believe.
I certainly believe in my abilities as a person and my contribution to this society is vital, therefore, I am saying this without having to sound like someone who suffers from some sort of inferiority complex that, usually Black people are ‘expected’ to behave and act in certain ways, dress in a particular way especially black males like myself.So when a case goes to court and the defendant is black, it is most likely that all evidence will lean heavily towards the defendant and ‘some’ of the Jury members would have formed their verdicts even before the case begins! Why? Because there are staunch in their beliefs and preconceived notions and nothing would change them, hence, the laws of equality and racial discrimination become nothing but fictional.
Perception, too, is something that cannot be so easily changed, for a person to change his/her view of the world must take considerable strain and strength!
But nonetheless. Perception is everything.
