The Collab Society Mind Lab is taking a quick week off (heading to Jah-May-kah) to re-energize and get our creative juices up for the last quarter of 2010. We’ll be back on the 11th of September with more collab news, more Words of Zen, more appealing imagery and more of the cool, curated content we try our hardest to provide you every single day.
So be safe, stay fly, and we’ll be back stronger than ever.
Peace.

Big Boi’s latest video from his Lucious Leftfoot project. This one features Yelawolf representing Alabama really heavy – and I got to hand it to him, Yela really brings the heat on this.
Oh and in case you didn’t now Andre 3 Stacks cooked up the beat for this – heat rocks all the way – people.

If you still have your cheap 3D glasses from when you saw that Avatar flick, pull them out right now and feast your eyes on Mirinda Kerr above. There’s something about Australia … they really have some hidden gems down there – and Ms. Kerr is one of their really precious jewels.

Some more looks from Aldo’s F/W 2010 collection – also shot by Terry Richardson … once again Jessica Stam is looking extra juicy in this shot.

For their F/W 2010 Images, Bottega connected with celebrated artist/photographer Robert Longo, and together they recreated the artist’s famous series of “men in black suits with their bodies contorted in weird, unnatural angles.”
See the clip above.

The Fall Issue of V Magazine is all about NYC – and it features photo-shoots with NYC celebs like Gaga, Debbie Harry, Mark Ronson, Marc Jacobs and more. They had an interesting spread with all these individuals giving short quotes about the great city of Gotham (shown above).

This post just really got me thinking: NYC is really the best city in the world. You can come here from any far-flung locale in the world and create a new and life for yourself – and the only governing/limiting rules are the ones you set for yourself. How amazing is that? God Bless NYC!

Gilbere Forte is an upcoming emcee from Philly who looks to have a lot of promise. He is featured on the current European dance-floor banger “Alors on Danse” by Stromae featuring Kanye West. On this track, he also uses a Kanye West sample, but the beat is definitely more hard-body — and his rhymes are quite worthy too.

In case, you haven’t yet, you can head over to the Rizzoli Book website and pre-order your copy of the new Kaws monograph dropping this November. We can all agree that 2010 has been a blockbuster year for the East-Coast hailing graffiti artist – and this book is a perfect end to an extremely successful period for him.
