Grandmaster Roc Raida RIP

WTF!!! Only 37 years young! The hip-hop world mourns for the loss of another pioneer. I was just thinking about one of my favorite mix tapes this week, which happens to be an '80s hip-hop mix Roc Raida did around '97. Here' some footage from 13 years ago showing how ill this dude was on the wheels. If you ever got the chance to see him live you know that this video doesn't really capture the energy. He was truly a phenom in the art of DJing. I'll be happy when I'm even 1% as good as this dude.




Here's a more recent video showing how insanely skilled this dude was at beat juggling.

this makes me happy and sad at the same time

The industrial designer in me loves to see a nice cut-away of an object but this is almost sacrilegious! I think anybody that notices the beauty of an Aston Martin knows that they're built very well and with great attention to detail. It's bad enough that they need to crash-test a bunch of these but did they really need to go rub it in our faces and cut one open!? This was for some party in NYC premiering the new DBS Volante by Aston Martin.
