this painting by Jean Micheal Basquiat inspired one of my favorite Jay-z freestyles. the “Grammy Family” freestyle is about being a “King” and the perils of success, all inspired by this great Quote on the following painting ”MOST YOUNG KINGS GET THIER HEADS CUT OFF”
“Inspired by Basquiat my Chariots on fire everybody took shots hit my body up im tired…”-Jay-z

In today’s mobile phone era, it’s all about iPhone, Blackberry and Android OS, but craft artist Kyle Beans reminds us of the days of Zack Morris and Gordon Gekko with this Russian Doll-esque project that looks at the history of the mobile phone. The models are created completely out of paper and cardboard, pretty craze. Take a look at a video of the project over at Laughing Squid and see if your first mobile made the cut.

Shane Willoughby, tattoo-wand maestro of Atlanta’s Tenth Street tattoo parlor, the culprit who irresponsibly went through with Gucci Mane’s asinine request to have an ice cream cone with lightning bolts blasting from it and branded with the word “Burr,” told Vibe.com that because of the controversy surrounding the rapper’s idiocy, he’ll never put his needle to facial skin again.
“I was [hesitant] like ‘Are you sure you want to put that much [ink] in that area?,’” Willoughby said. “He [Gucci] came straight to the counter and that’s [his right cheek] where he pointed.”
Willoughby went on to say that he was quite adamant that Gucci contemplate getting the tattoo, which is really more of a personal insult, elsewhere, perhaps somewhere logical, such as his shoulder, chest, or any of the various places where no one would have any chance of seeing it save for when Gucci chose to remove his shirt.
“When [Gucci] said he wanted to do the ice cream thing I said ‘Well why don’t we do it somewhere else?’ But he was like I don’t have anywhere else.”
Upon entering the tattoo parlor at two in the afternoon, Gucci assured all employees and audience members that he was completely sober, and Willoughby confirmed the statement. However, my supposition is that no one thought to request to see Gucci’s release papers from Atlanta’s Anchor Hospital psychiatric ward, nor did they inquire to see the write up of the rapper’s psychiatric evaluation to confirm that he was indeed sane, and not acting under the illusion of some command of psychosis.

[Kid Cudi]
Ain’t no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I’m on the edge, so why you playing? I’m saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Nothing nothing I’ve forseen it, I dream it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
No more chances if you blow this, you bogus
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Penitentiary chances, the devil dances
and eventually answers to the call of Autumn
all of them fallin’ for the love of ballin’
got caught with 30 rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin
inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums
based off the way we was branded
face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon
and at the airport they check all through my bag and tell me that it’s random
but we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage
I need a happy ending and a new beginning
and a new fitted and some job opportunities thats lucrative
This the real world, homie, school finished
they done stole your dreams, you dunno who did it
I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS
I won’t be satisfied til all my niggas get it, get it?
