Even though I personally think that Ab-Soul is the true talent in the Black Hippie movement, Kendrick Lamar’s “Rigamortis” has been my shit since day one. The kid goes so bonkers on the track that it takes like 10 rewinds just to get a handle on how deep he’s going in. That’s why I’m extra hyped that my homies and frequent HighsnobietyTV collaborators The ICU got the job to produce the video for “Rigamortis.” As expected, they got the job done and then some.

Shouts to Leah, Young Dawgie from Shameless, and of course the beautiful and talented Jasmine Solano – my good friends living TheGoodLife!

This is fresh. Meu irmao Mario Neto from Santa Catarina in the South of Brasil recently finished “Recicle Olhares,” a project with the group O Coletivo de Criação examining the sustainability of the rampant plastic bag industry in Brasil. This rad video accompanying the project (to the score of Sepultura no less) takes a look at people’s ability to see through the convenience of plastic bags, a small revolution that is still yet to really catch on in the mainstream US, but which could have major implications for our collective future. Valeu Mario! Full credits after the jump.

My homies from The ICU hit the west side recently to knock out the video for Freddie Gibbs “Rock Bottom.” Of course they killed it. Peep more of their shit on Vimeo.

My homie Louie Vito just won the gold in halfpipe at the Euro X Games in France. Damn near on his birthday no less! The kid is unstoppable. If you haven’t seen it, check out this edit we made for Radcollector from the US X Games in Aspen earlier this year. We stay mixin up the medicine!

Its a rainy Sunday in NYC, in other words the perfect day for a mega brunch at home. If you’re ready to have your mind completely blown, take a stab at my great friend Beatrice Tosti di Valminuta’s Uova in Trippa. Translating to “Eggs in Tripe” there is absolutely no tripe involved, but the name is derived from the fact that the eggs are ribbon cut into a tripe-like consistency that is also similar to pasta. When TheGoodLife! crew got together with Bea to make this video, I put down at least a dozen eggs worth of this stuff myself. The eggs are so banging that once your initial food coma subsides, you’ll be heating up the leftovers for dinner, I promise. For a complete culinary experience with Bea, visit her and her husband Julio at Il Bagatto in the LES. Full recipe and instructions after the jump. Allora!

My girls in Rio, the Retalhos Cariocas, have yet another video feature on their empowerment project in the Barreira do Vasco. Contact Luciana Meireles to get involved!

As part of our global Radcollector takeover mission, Brad Clarke cruised up to Burlington, Vermont recently to check out the insane new Burton Snowboards Craig Kelly R&D center. You could call this place the Industrial Light and Magic of the snowboard world, there really is nothing they can’t do there. But don’t take it from me, check out Brad’s interview with Jake Burton where the main man breaks down the motivations for creating a place where shred dreams can come true and naming it in tribute to one of the fallen heroes of the sport.
