YOUR BOY BANGS

You all know Bangs from his quasi-hip hop style dropping bangers such as 'Take U To Da Movies'. The Sudanese raper based in Melbourne has gone behind his cult internet following (3.1 million views) and cut down on popcorn to hit the big time in a car commercial. How much rap can you pack in a jazz?

None, there shit.

Time For The BUBBBBLLYYYYY

YEHHH sure you rock up to the club in your brand new Lamborghini, skinny coked up blonde banging girlfriend by your side, the Zegna suit is tailored to perfection and yehh your killing it.

You sit down at your private table and buy a few bottles of high end Champers. But there is always someone with a little more cash thats willing to spend some serious coin on a bar tab.

Well what do you get when you have 2 rival ego maniac billionares in the hottest NYC nightclub, bar tab off. Both men decided to see who could order more bottles of Cristal at $1000 a bottle. Zhen Low of Malaysia racked up an impressive $2.6 million bar tab, my $20 an hour paycheck really just hit me in the balls.

Or if your really stinging for that single drop that will hit the g spot, then look no further. In a shipwreck in the Baltic Sea they have found the worlds oldest and most exxie bottle of champagne. Dated at over 230 years old, every bottle is expected to go for $68 000US. Experts claim that the bottle is from the French house of Veuve Cliquot established in 1772.

Tangga House

Another victim of drug infestation, 30 years after Reagan declared war on drugs.

Today, in any city in the USA, you can purchase cocaine for one third the price that it commanded in 1980. Crack ( freebase) is reduced powder to smokable form and is everywhere. That info should tell you one thing..... there is a supply glut and it keeps coming in.

Meanwhile, the American conservative trend toward privatization allows the Marriot Corp to control the contract on "prison services" in California. Part of the states deal is to promise Marriott an 80% occupancy.... connect the dots.

Kids are graduating from college with no job market. 48% of kids in the Los Angeles Unified School District don't graduate.

Do you know how they project future crime stats? They calculate graduation rates.

So no jobs, what does a kid do? Join the Army or sell drugs.... not sure which is morally wrong, are you?

As a result, America houses 26% of the world's prisoners with barely 6% of the worlds population..... sound fishy? Yeah.

This story plays out in nearly every town and it's getting worse with unreported unemployment figures rising into the 20's.

HOT CHIP - THE WARNING

Marina Bay Sands Hotel

Developed by Las Vegas Sands, it is the worlds most expensive standalone casino property at $5.7 billion. With an Indonesian boat trip locked in next july, i think it would be selfish of me not to spend a night in this seriously clutch hotel. Be swimming in that pool for days.

TREE HOTEL

A new hotel concept masterminded by a number of award winning Swedish architects is currently underway. The Treehotel is located in Harads, Sweden, around 60ks south of the arctic circle. Twin share is around $550US per night, pretty exxx but it looks so amazing, a unique experience indeed.

A collab like that would get even the crustiest of old vagg's wet. Here are the videos of each of the artists before the song DROPS this friday!!!!!

Feast Your Eyes

There seems to be an overhaul of quality cinema out there ATM (At the moment). These three really caught my eye the other day, firstly Im fascinated with the ability of commercial space travel, it seems imminent on a large scale in the not so distant future. An interesting business model indeed, Im guessing Richard Branson has it by the balls. Secondly, GASLAND seems to only scratch the surface of natural gas extraction and the greed, environmental damage it leaves behind. Halliburton are obviously getting the job done with a market cap of 22B! And finally, my agnostic views always love to uncover a little mormon propaganda. Anyways enough of my bullshit.

This won the 2010 Documentary Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Found this blurb on their website here.

"The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of "fracking" or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a "Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND. Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown."

TIME MACHINE

Only 6 months until paradise awaits. All locked in, which boards to take hmm.
