We usually try to avoid viral videos (they start to smell of age as soon as you post them), but it’s a slow news day. I’m curious to know just what these marketers were thinking. How does this make me want to drink Absolut????
Alright, this pic has been out for a few days now but what the hell, here you go if you haven’t caught it yet. Here’s what we know about the Air Yeezy: uber exclusive, may not ever get a release, aaaaand that’s about it. Come on people, what will it take to get a Wikipedia [...]
Kanye’s favorite Canadian DJ, A-Trak, has joined the ranks of LCD Soundsystem and Aesop Rock to create a mix for Nike’s Original Run campaign. The 45 minute mix, dubbed Running Man, will not only be the DJ’s first full-length production but will also provide his first official single with the release of “Say Whoa.” I guess you might [...]
This is an insane mashup/remake/collage built off Jay-Z’s Black Gangster mixtape. If you like Biggie mashed with ODB, Raekwon and the American Gangster soundtrack then this is definitely for you. Get it from Format.
Like David Duchovny, we know the truth is out there and the latest unidentified footwear sighting has turned up a blue and gray version of the elusive, Air Yeezy. Officials refuse to comment on the existence of the shoe but we know the truth, dammit.

Bill Simmons hands out his NBA playoff awards. I haven’t read it yet, but I’m guessing there’s at least one Vegas story involving his buddies Jack-O, House, Corky, J-Bug, Turtle and at least one comparison of Rasheed Wallace to Billy Zabka
Check out the new poster for the [...]
As many people have noticed, Kanye’s been sporting some insane looking Nikes on tour (see above). Speculation has been rampant about these things but it appears that in a collaboration with Nike, the man has been sporting a colored version of the all black ones he rocked at the Grammy’s. Needless to say, [...]
From the visits to Jim Henson’s Creature Shop to the Murakami inspired eyes here, judging from his blog it would seem that Mr. West is really going to pull out all the stops for his forthcoming tour. Muppets? Fraggles? urSkeks? Only Kanye knows, but it seems safe to say that he plans [...]
Okay, this is just nuts. If you liked the 2001 video, this will blow your mind. Bravo, Kanye, bravo.

So apparently while previewing Graduation in New York, Kanye decided that it wasn’t enough to just play the record for execs, but also set some video from Kubrick’s 2001 to it. So, in honor of Kanye and the recently departed Arthur C. Clarke, enjoy.

In a move that, let’s face it, probably surprised him least of all, Kanye West today announced on his blog that his uber-robotic stops in L.A. sold out in 30 minutes. Yikes. That’s ridiculous even by his ridiculously ridiculous standards. Although, if we here at Commotion had Rihanna, N.E.R.D. and Lupe Fiasco playing the Raphael, [...]
