Back with another edition of what we loved this week on the net!

“The Cashmere x Stampede crew rockin out at the adidas Originals ‘Respect The West’ party last night”

“A funky jam to get the holiday celebrations started!”

“Some amazing editing skills recognizing that its Tebow Time!”

HYPEBEAST Article

“Common has come up with an interesting way to fight rampant album leaks online. By giving his fans the opportunity to preview the album on the highly trafficked viral video platform YouTube, Common is giving the early adopting fanatics something to munch on until album release.”

“This blog is just as funny as Texts from Bennett!”

“This is more fascinating than a favorite, but out of all the videos I saw this week, this one caught my attention the most.  Crazy to think that there are laws that make obesity illegal!”

“Shout out to adidas and DQM for the ill Rod Laver collabos…”

“My fave for the week is this MAC app F.Lux. It’s used to reduce eye strain by dimming the brightness of your screen. I’ve been using it for about a week and have noticed at the end of the work day I’m not getting the headaches I had been getting from looking at my screen all day. Check it out.”

Dirty Bass Museum w/ Far East Movement

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

The Cashmere/Stampede crew had a busy night last night, with our clients having two big shows in LA at the same time.   The first we covered was the “Dirty Bass Museum” with Far East Movement, sponsored by DUB Magazine and Remy Martin.  The boys were celebrating the holidays, the completion of their next album, and the success of their new hit single “Jello”.   Lots of familiar faces roamed the Roark Industries building in downtown LA, and it was great to celebrate with everyone.  With special guest DJ Quik hitting the tables first, the stage was set for a surprise performance by the group themselves, Far East Movement.

50 Cent released his new mixtape “The Big 10″ today for free DOWNLOAD.  Ever since he released his first mixtape 10 years ago, he has become one of the biggest stars in the Hip Hop industry around the world.  Congrats on another dope compilation!

“I have long been a fan of the wild and crazy antics of the WuTang Clan. I had purchased the vinyl for OB4CL when it first came out in 1995 and it was a hip hop dream come true when we were introduced to The Chef and asked to work with him and his team to work on the release of OB4CL PT. II in 2009.”

2 years later, OB4CL PT. II is the most critically acclaimed release of 2009 and Raekwon has become a staple on nearly every hip-hop blog! It was a nice surprise to receive this in the mail from @Raekwon in the mail yesterday to add to my collection!
