We are still trying to figure out what this intro video to DJ Hero means…it’s a mix of The Matrix, Blade Runner and “California Love” all rolled together…with a semi-truck and gigantic turntable needle. See for yourself. Game hits stores October 27th.

Kanye West x Pastelle. Finally some new pics and info on Kanye’s long-awaited Pastelle Clothing line. Here are some look book shots of the new collection although it’s nothing new since Kanye has already worn most of these in public. But STILL no word yet on when the collection hits stores, distribution or pricing. And of course the website still has not changed.

Real question will be…by the time Pastelle actually is available will anyone care? It’s been years and years of delay and we all know the pricing won’t exactly be TJ Maxx level. More pics after the jump…Via: SwaggerDap

Mariah Carey x Precious. This brand new trailer really pushes the Academy Award feeling and includes intros by Oprah and Tyler Perry to boot. And of course a nice little scene of “Ugly Mariah.” Movie hits theaters November 6th.

Dr. Dre x Hewlett Packard. Although Beats by Dre gets a lot of crap from hardcore audiophiles out there, there is no denying the Dre and Jimmy have done a genius job extending the Dr. Dre brand to the audiophile and gadget world. They were both on hand to formally introduce the Limited Edition Beats HP Envy which we exclusively revealed will have the Beats Audio technology for superior lap top sound.

Now more details have been revealed as the limited edition lap top will also include Native Instruments’ Traktor LE software and Audio 2 DJ but will not come with the Beats by Dre headphones. The Beats HP Envy will start at $2,299 and will be available starting October 22nd.

Can’t comprehend the $2K+ price tag? Let Mr. Iovine tell you the importance of sound and why computers with optimal sound are imperative as part of the “sound chain.”

The Weinstein Company, the studio home of Lil Wayne and Bow Wow’s Post-Katrina basketball film Hurricane Season, has just announced their 2009 – 2010 film slate. Unfortunately for those involved in making Hurricane Season and those Wayne fans hoping to get a glimpse of him playing a punk high school kid, the movie has been dropped from the schedule…again. Many involved with the film were optimistic that it would get a proper release but due to major financial issues facing the Weinstein Company including recent layoffs, the film has been shelved indefinitely. In a recent interview with the Times Picayune – New Orleans, Hurricane Season producer Raymond Brothers still hopes for the best.

“We’re very grateful to the Weinstein Co. and (sister company) Dimension for making the movie in New Orleans — we spent $50 million in New Orleans. The movie tested extremely well, and we’re very hopeful that in a very short period of time we’ll come to some resolution about the release date.”

Considering the multi-million dollar budget, urban appeal with Lil Wayne and Bow Wow and major star appeal with Forest Whitaker, one hopes this movie will not get the dreaded straight-to-DVD treatment. Some Wayne fan out there needs to start a petition and get this movie in theaters.

Eric B & Rakim x NBA 2K10. One of the best sports video game TV commercials we have ever seen…and we don’t even like Kobe. Set to Eric B & Rakim’s classic “Don’t Sweat the Technique.” Nice to see a classic song getting some major recognition today. Ad is currently running on national TV programming.

Yes usually we don’t post music and instead focus more on the business side but in this case Michael Jackson’s new single “This is It” goes hand-in-hand with the release of his upcoming film of the same name. The title track of the movie was actually recorded back in 1991 and features background vocals by the Jackson brothers. Take a listen to the single. This Is It the film hits theaters October 28th.

Activision has just released the official Eminem & Jay-Z track listings for the upcoming DJ Hero Renegade Edition. The Renegade Edition will go for $199 and hits stores October 27th. Check the track listings after the jump. Here is the game cover which was designed by Shepard Fairey, artist of Obama’s HOPE poster.
