Kidz in the Hall x Reebok. This music video is part of The Kidz in the Hall promotional deal with Reebok where they will promoting the new Reebok Remix shoe line exclusively available at Foot Locker. The Kidz remixed the classic “I Got it Made.” Yea music videos always have had heavy prodcut placement but with marketing dollars shrinking across the board marketers are looking for new ways to get their product out there. Could music video/consumer product collabs be the future?

Perfect timing for LeBron to come in when he is up for free agency after the 2010 season. And do I hear a Hova Arena in the works? Via: RR (who is killin it by the way)

RZA x Hip-Hop Chess Federation. RZA has been a huge part of the succesfull launch of the Hip-Hop Chess Academy and it looks like they are trying to up their game and drum up some publicity. In this video, current CEO Adisa Banjoko challenges President Obama and his administration to a game of chess vs. the Ryan Academy. I have no idea what the Ryan Academy is…but I have seen Searching For Bobby Fischer and one thing I learned from it is don’t mess with creepy little silent kids and chess. Via: Highbrid Nation

Kanye West x Nike Air Yeezy. Kanye, ahem, I mean his ghostblogger just posted these new pics of his Air Yeezy shoe via Complex. Just like your favorite pair of Tron Underoos…they are indeed glow-in-the-dark. If you know what the heck I just said you get mad props. The Air Yeezys hit the market Spring of 2009.

Kanye West x Kanye University. The surprise isn’t the fact that Kanye uses ghost bloggers on his Kanye University blog, it’s the fact that he finally admitted it. We, along with all the other hip-hop heads on the net have been accusing Kanye of ghost blogging for years but he kept denying it. Finally, he¬†admitted to NY Magazine that he has a whole team that runs his blog:

“It might [blog for] two hours in a day, it might be fifteen minutes in a day. I have two people that I hired and I tell them exactly what I want ‚Äî it’s just like how a designer would work. I tell them, you know, Surface magazine, Wallpaper, Architectural Digest, Hypebeast, Bossip ‚Äî go to these different blogs and keep on pulling information. And then they send it to me, and I get like 80 e-mails, and I have to check and go through them. And sometimes I’ll have my own stuff where I’ll just be in a cool place, like if I had my camera right now, I’d like photograph this stuff and go home and be really excited to blog it. You know, cause I’m in cool places all the time. So it’s a great outlet, and I’m glad so many people are reacting to it. And it’s another opportunity to present design and my opinion of the world and what I think is cool.”

It’s kind of funny how he flat out lied to everyone for so long then finally just casusally admits it. Maybe the Amber Rose is teaching him some morales. Ha. That’s funny. Now if only someone would tell him to stop wearing those jean jackets as well.
