The Sartorialist_ Visual Life

Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist) is like a photographic gun-slinger, I like that, even though I’m not that into ‘fashion.’ Of course this is a commercial, but it’s still nice, just close your eyes when the logo comes up at the end (6:43).. lol

Kendrick Lamar_ Rocksmith Doc (I Am)

I like Kendrick Lamar. I think he’s one of the most interesting young rappers out right now. Although I don’t really like everything that he does he seems to be on a path that is a little deeper than most of his contemporaries.
