Video: Machine Gun Kelly f/ Wiz Khalifa – ‘Mind of a Stoner’

 

 

Bad Boy and Taylor Gang set the screen ablaze in the video for “Mind of a Stoner,” Machine Gun Kelly’s smokers’ anthem off his 2013 mixtape Black Flag.

After losing his job and feeling down on his luck, the Cleveland rapper makes his way to the bus stop, where he runs into Wiz Khalifa, who helps him ease his mind by offering him some weed.

MGK sits there all day, blunt in hand, venting to anyone who comes by. By 7 p.m., he’s smoked all his troubles away and says “I’m good.”

Plus, look for a cameo from “Boy Meets World” star Danielle Fishel aka Topanga.

 

Future ft Pharrell, Pusha T at ‘Move That Dope’ Video Shoot

Just days after debuting his street anthem “Move That Dope,” Future hit the streets of downtown L.A. to shoot the music video with director Benny Boom. Clad in all black, the Freebandz rapper sat on top of a parked Jeep Wrangler in a grimy alleyway with Pusha T and Pharrell by his side.

Skateboard P rocked his famous Vivienne Westwood hat and BBC hoodie as he posted up against the vehicle and caught up with jeweler Ben Baller.

The Mike WiLL Made It-produced song is set to appear on Future’s upcoming sophomore album Honest, which also features Drake, Kanye West, and Nicki Minaj.

How to Take Better Photographs

Edited by Mehboub Weezy Khan

Many people think they will improve their photography by buying a spiffy new camera. In photography, technique is more important than equipment. In addition, taking good pictures is something anyone can do with any camera, if you practice enough and avoid some common mistakes.

Part 1 of 8: Understanding Your Camera

1. 1

   Read the camera's manual. Learn what each control, switch, button, and menu item does. Learn the basic actions, such as using the flash (on, off, and auto), zooming in and out, and using the shutter button. Some cameras come with a printed beginners manual but also offer a free larger manual on the manufacturer's website.

Part 2 of 8: Getting Started

Set the camera's resolution to take high quality photos at the highest resolution possible. Low-resolution images are more difficult to alter later; it also means that you cannot crop as enthusiastically as you could with a higher-resolution version (and still end with something printable). Upgrade to a bigger memory card. If you don't want to or can't afford to buy a new one, then use the "fine" quality setting, if your camera has one, with a smaller resolution 

1. 1

   Start with setting your camera to one of its automatic modes, if you have a choice. Most useful is "Program" or "P" mode on digital SLRs. Ignore advice to the contrary which suggests that you operate your camera fully manually; the advances in the last fifty years in automatic focusing and metering have not happened for nothing. If your photos come out poorly focused or poorly exposed, then start operating certain functions manually.

Big Sean Models Fall Fashion for GQ

 
Big Sean is getting fresh for fall. From turtlenecks to sweatpants, the Detroit MC models 15 of the season’s freshest looks for GQ magazine’s November issue. In the stylish spread, “hip-hop’s wittiest loudmouth” sports tailored shirts, sweaters, sports jackets, and fedoras by designers including Ermenegildo Zegna, J. Crew, Banana Republic, and Paul Stuart.
“I’m in @GQ mag this month modeling fall Fashion… Wearing clothes I wouldn’t usually wear but I guess sexy models have to do that sometimes more pics inside,” said Sean, whose sophomore album Hall of Fame debuted at No. 3.
With this album, he set out to prove a point. “It’s fucking crazy that people think I’m just this ass man, talking about ass-quakes and ass-shakes all day,” the “Dance (A$$)” hitmaker told the men’s magazine. “This time I wanted to get my points across, instead of just showing how good I can rap.”

Kendrick Lamar Disses Drake in BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher

 
Kendrick Lamar is taking shots at Drake once again. Following his explosive verse on “Control,” the Compton MC took the opportunity to call out the Toronto native during TDE’s BET Hip Hop Awards 2013 cypher. AllHipHop has obtained a preview of the cypher, in which Kendrick addresses the Nothing Was the Same rapper.
“Yeah, and nothing’s been the same since they dropped ‘Control’/ And tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes,” he raps. “Ha ha, joke’s on you/ High five, I’m bulletproof/ Your shit will never penetrate/ Pin the tail on the donkey/ Boy, you been a fake.”
In a previous interview, Drake shrugged off the “Control” verse. “It just sounded like an ambitious thought to me,” he told Billboard. “That’s all it was. I know good and well that Kendrick’s not murdering me, at all, in any platform. So when that day presents itself, I guess we can revisit the topic.”
TDE’s full cypher will air during the BET Hip Hop Awards on Oct. 15.
