I had seen videos of ‘BigDog‘ before, but Boston Dynamics new robot is pretty crazy. Meet ‘PETMAN‘:

Here’s the original ‘BigDog’ Video:

Mayo’s “The Naked Truth” exemplifies how to make a solid mixtape:

1. Quality lines, metaphors & similes
2. Beat selection (either original or industry or both)
3. Overall track quality over quantity

Download the full mixtape below or stream some of my picks.

The much publicized reveal by Nike last night ended with an auction for the very first pair of Marty McFly shoes (Nike Air Mags) going for $37,500. The winning bidder? UK-rapper Tinie Tempah! Tinie has already said the he “has so many clothes, (he) keeps some in (his) aunt’s house”, so I wonder if that’s where these are headed. TMZ has the video of the actual auction going down.

Nike is releasing 1,500 pairs of the shoes on eBay, with proceeds to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. So if each pair sells at this price, that’s $56.25 million!

Here’s Michael J. Fox revealing the sneakers on Letterman last night:

Here’s the original scene from Back to the Future 2:

And here’s the promo video featuring Kevin Durant, Bill Hader, Christopher Lloyd, Tinker Hatfield and Donald Fullilove.

I just wish I would’ve got one of the initial mystery promo packs…

Avicii (aka Tim Bergling aka Tim Berg aka Tom Hangs) is one of the latest and greatest house DJs to come out of Sweden. As a producer, Avicii creates some of the best beats regardless of genre. Here are some of my favorites:

Avicii looks to be following the same path with the recent leak of a Flo Rida track titled “Good Feeling” (a remix of Avicii’s “Levels”). Although I’m not a fan of the remix, this is just another sign of the prophecy:
