The four door sedan will feature another high-powered engine with rumors including the W16 with 1,000 hp or a more scaled back 800 hp which utilizes only two turbochargers.

The Hangover Part 2 doesn’t deviate far from the original hit’s plotline as a missing groom is exchanged in favor of the missing bride’s little brother. Bangkok, Thailand is the focal point of the movie as you follow the likes of crew through the city and their escapades.

Air Jordan IV White/Cement Grey Retro Preview
Although not completely official, it looks like the first samples of an upcoming White/Cement Grey IV retro have come to light. Rumored for a 2012 release, the IV returns in all of its original glory with slight changes including a Jumpman replacement on the heel as opposed to the traditional “Nike Air”. These haven’t seen a drop since the original retro in 1999 so “highly anticipated” is an understatement. Stay tuned for further details, with more looks offered here.

Band of Outsiders x Sperry Top-Sider Authentic Original Boat Shoe
While the new Band of Outsiders x Sperry Top-Sider footwear collection for Spring/Summer 2011 seems a bit less exciting than in previous seasons, we do like a lot this multicolor panel version of the Authentic Original Boat Shoe from the collection. Featuring a mixed nylon/suede upper, the shoe features different colors on different panels and is now in stock at End.
Casio G-Shock GRX-5600B-2JF
Casio G-Shock’s GRX-5600 line takes on a design stance that merges two of the brand’s most iconic styles, the DW-5600 and DW-6900. Together it offers a highly durable watch for those out on the water with the ability to calculate waves with a solar panel for battery collection. In a new April colorway, the teal body is paired with a reverse black LCD panel.

Priced at $95 USD, they are now available to purchase online through Premier, in addition to other fine Nike stockists.
Franck Muller iPhone 4 Cases
Swiss watchmaker Franck Muller celebrates its 20th anniversary with a special series of iPhone 4 cases which will be offered through Beams in Japan. Incorporating the theme of time, each case features an intricate interlocking digit motif, which makes up the case entirely. Six different options are offered: three in tonal colors, one in a two-tone and another multi-color selection, with the sixth not yet pictured.

Casio G-Shock GD-100PS-3JR
An army-appropriate olive green factors heavily into this new release from Casio G-Shock. Based on the GD-100 model, the robust watch features a two-tone strap in a darker green as well as khaki.

Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci x Converse Addict All Stars
Givenchy’s creative director Riccardo Tisci lends his unique styling to the next release in the Converse Addict range. A black gloss leopard print has been added to an all black canvas which sits on top of a polyurethane Poron cushioned sole with a Vibram outsole. Add to that an Outlast lining and detailing such as rubber spikes down the back of the heel, you have a rather unique looking shoe. The jury is still out as to whether the use of these extra materials or the added build quality balances out the high price, but either way these shoes would certainly turn some heads. The Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci x Converse Addict All Stars receives a limited release in Japan on the 27th April for ¥29,400.
Young Guru Interview The Hip Hop Chronicles (Video)
From Fader Fort at SXSW. Midway through the interview he speaks on his most memorable studio moment with Jay-Z, where he recalls Hov quickly laying down and recording his verses for “Heart Of The City”. He says that before Jay stepped into the booth, there was a video playing on the television in which he did with his friend-turned-foe R. Kelly (either of these), and he made a comment on it. By the time he completed his three verses, the visual was still playing. Crazy. He also talks on meeting Jay for the first time, his preparation and approach in the studio, and more importantly, Ye and Hova’s Watch The Throne (transcribed quote below), and Jay’s next [crazy] concept project:
“Watch The Throne is almost done. This is what it is with Ye. Ye’s records grow. Like if you listen to a Kanye record when it first starts in one form, and he adds stuff…takes away stuff, plays it for a bunch of people, listens to it, he’s a real perfectionist. That’s what he does, he grows his records. So that’s where we’re in…the process of just finalizing the rest of the album. But it’s really in Kanye’s hands.”

Kanye's First Beat CD presented by the Hype Men Podcast.
“Last week I was stumbling through my garage, searching through old storage bins, when I came across some old beat CDs from my days as a signed Interscope rapper. I was shocked to find that two of them, both given to me in 2001, had the name Kanye West on them. These two beat CDs, now celebrating their 10 year anniversary and I believe the oldest Kanye beats ever released, are here for your enjoyment.I think this collection of early Kanye beats shows you where he came from, even if it doesn’t necessarily sound like ‘Kanye’ now. He kept at it and became the incredible producer he is today. I remember he even had to leave the studio sessions early, so he could make the last train back to his mom’s house. He’s come a long way, and I’m proud to have been around, even if for just a second at the start.”
