Reebok Classic NPC II Ultralite

We’ve seen more than our fair share of hybrid infusions over the last few years. And while the notion has been mostly accepted by the footwear world, there have been some questionable mash-ups in recent times. The Reebok NPC II Ultralite keeps it relatively simple with an NPC upper and a 3D Ultralite tooling for a more modern take. The white tennis style with a pop yellow outsole is available now at Six Feet Down.

Kelly Rowland "Motivation" Ft. Lil' Wayne

Kelly Rowland has released a new single called "Motivation" and it features fellow Southerner Lil' Wayne.  Listen to the new song inside...

Kelly Rowland's latest single "Motivation" is a Jim Jonsin produced collaboration with Lil' Wayne.  The track sounds like "R&B smoking" music with a few elements of hip-hip thrown in the mix.
It's a departure from the house/club tracks we've gotten from Miss Kelly in the past. Does Kelly sound better over dance tracks?

Listen to the track here:

Waka Flocka's $100,000 Muppet Chain

Waka Flocka is proud to announce that he just spent $100,000 on a Fozzie Bear Muppet chain.
