Magnetic Snap-on Lenses For Your Phone

The wide-angle macro and fisheye lenses from Photojojo come with a little self-adhesive magnetic ring that stick to your smart phone. The ring's removable. 
 The wide-angle gives a 0.67x angle of view, and will let you focus as close as 10mm. The fisheye will give a 180º view, and a 0.28x magnification.

"They work with any camera phone and attaching them is easy breezy! A detachable magnetic ring sticks to your cell, providing a sturdy, shake-free hold between the lens and your phone."

Broken Wings LIVE



"Feelin' like A-Rod, some say his time's up. Boo a nigga at home, yup I'm in my prime but... by far the best player on the team. and then turn around, drop him to the bottom of the lineup. Should get traded, but he don't wanna move, cause this is the only city he got something to prove. And that's why I'm seen with heaters, cause you can't be the man when you on the same team as Jeter."

Joe Budden performed this at SOB's in NYC last night at his book release party. This has always been one of my favorite Budden songs. Look out for Mood Music 4 coming out October 24th.

Big Sean Teaser


I'm still really undecided about Big Sean. I've heard some stuff I like, I've heard some stuff I hate. I'll post this for two reason... 1) the video itself is kinda dope. It's shot pretty cool. 2) he goes after the classic "I Got 5 On It" beat. You have my attention when you have the balls to put bars to a classic like that.

It serves as a quiet reminder that helps you to follow your own agenda without disturbing people in your surroundings.

Young Jeezy Says "Death Before Dishonor" Is Not a Diss



MTV caught up with Young Jeezy. Speaking on his recent B.M.F. freestyle that everyone (myself included) took as a diss to Rick Ross.

It’s not a diss. First of all, I’m not gonna get nothing out of dissing that guy. That’s one. What am I gonna get out of dissing him? I think sometimes people can read into things too deep. They trippin’ man. They crazy out there. Basically, if homie takes that as a diss, he’s insecure, and anybody else out there who does, they are insecure.
