Profile –Phillip "PacMan" Chbeeb

You've seen him this year on So You Think You Can Dance (Season 5). He has been auditioning for the show in the past couple of seasons before, even after his elimination last week I still give him credit for coming back (after becoming sick & losing in a Popping battle against Robert Muraine last season). He is also associated with a crew called Marvelous Motion as well associated with other crew members that have been on ABDC. No matter what he's got an insane style and hopefully we'll get to see more video's on YouTube like these ones.

INSANE Period



It's still the best hip hop routine so far this season

Discovery –MSTRKRFT's "Heartbreaker"

(Pronounced Mastercraft) Just recently discovered these artists after checkin out this video. They are House group from Toronto, and for me I just like this track with John Legend.

Profile –Kaba Modern Often Imitated, Never Duplicated

One of the most precise and detailed crews out there. Focusing on the Kaba Modern (since it is a more bigger University based crew, with new members every year) on ABDC it was comprised of 6 of the craziest dancers. They were actually the first crew I saw when ABDC premiered in the U.S. (on YouTube). Just amazed with their precision to have these sharp "right on the beat" moves.



Pre-ABDC this includes other members as well, they place 2nd in this competition.


OMG the Girls portion is hot, Guys portion is just off the wall slick.


Jia not featured in this video cause she actually toured with Britney Spears as one of her backup dancers in her concert.

–808s & Heartbreak Single Covers

Besides the great concept and the tracks, what I really liked about the album was the cover design, especially the Single Covers. Plain and simple each cover displays the emotions of the songs in the album.


The album cover as well as the Special KAWS Edition
















Not sure if this one (left) was official. BUT the Heartless one is still my favourite


This was the first cover to released as kanYe's first single. I remember he didn't like his original cover (right) because of the font.

–New Pepsi Campaign

If you haven't seen the new logo for Pepsi they have been trying to promote it everywhere. My bro was showing me pics of all these billboard and street ads back in March. I started to notice all the ads for it last weekend when i was in Toronto. This one was spotted in Dundas Square.

What do you think of the new logo? It reminds me (resembles) the Old Spice logo lol. Just the colours and the resemblance of the boat.

Insight –Drake's "Best I Ever Had" Music Video

After the recent release of Drake's video for Best I Ever Had interesting to see people's reaction and an overall dislike for the video and the concept. For me really, there's some videos to take seriously and others to be passive and have fun with. Drake had an interview with Complex recently talking more about the video, as well as the BET Awards, Michael Jackson, and his signed record deal.

Complex: Everyone’s been waiting on this video. Can you take us through the making of it?

Drake: Yeah. The video is directed by Kanye West. Basically we decided, as opposed to taking ourselves super serious, we just wanted to have some fun with it. Myself, being a young man, a young single man at that, I kind of wanted to be real about the way I function with women at this current point in my life. Which is, I don’t have one woman that I call my girl. There’s different girls in my life that play different roles and I see at different times, but collectively they kind of make up the roster of happiness for me [Laughs].

Complex: Understandable. So what’s the concept?

Drake: The concept of the video is, I’m a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team. Throughout the video you see us prepping for this big championship game, and my team ends up losing. You see the looks on their faces at the end of the video, but the moral of the story, I guess, is win or lose, you can still be the best to somebody. When women see the video and see all the breast and ass, hopefully they don’t take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning.

–Brian Puspos' (SoReal Cru) Workshop

One of my favorite choreographers and another reason why I really like SoReal Cru and their style. This was one of the first workshops I attended in Toronto and it was a lot of fun. Brian Puspos is jokes, its crazy to see his concepts and references to Mortal Kombat and even the simple movements of a pillow feather.

Me and my friend actually attended both of his workshops (two pieces). The first one was a Brand New piece to "Houstatlantavegas" by Drake. He was still working on tweaking it here and there but from what he taught us and what I saw it was amazing!! I really want to post the video but under NuLite Ent and Puspos we can't (so i guess I'll have to wait later on till SoReal or Puspos post a video of it online). The second workshop was a dance to "T-Shirt" by Destiny's Child (voted by the majority there), which is an older piece Brian choreographed a while back. Check it out.
