Just over a month since undergoing surgery following a heart attack, Gang Starr MC Guru (born Keith Elam) has died at age 43. According to a statement, Guru died of cancer-related causes on Monday after a long fight with the disease. Guru's longtime collaborator and partner Solar mourns his loss in the statement and explains that Guru had written a letter to his fans that was to be released upon his death.
"The world has lost one of the best MCs and hip-hop icons of all-time — my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru," Solar said. "Guru has been battling cancer for well over a year and has lost his battle! This is a matter that Guru wanted private until he could beat it, but tragically, this did not happen. The cancer took him. Now the world has lost a great man and a true genius."

"RIP Guru. My mixtape will be dedicated to you big homie. Because you are one of the ones who gave me the love of Hip-Hop."- Designer Darnell L

“There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live.”
This hardcover publication has 496 pages and will be released in November 2010. The cover illustration is the iconic photograph of Louis Vuitton trunks, suitcases and an umbrella stacked to resemble the Eiffel Tower in the background, shot by Jacques Henri Lartigue in 1979.

I think the book will, in addition to chronicling the history of Louis Vuitton trunks, make us privy to the 100 illustrious trunks that the house has created since its founding. And I bet there’s going to be lots of previously undisclosed photos from Louis Vuitton’s special orders archives. Pre-order yours now at Amazon.com

Which ones do you all prefer. Lakers edition Jordan VI's or the Pistons joints. The Lakers version has white, gold, and purple lacing around the shoe. The Pistons are more of a fit for me. Lakers are the first shoe and the Pistons is the second.

Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin presents Pharrell Williams’ latest design creation, The Tank chair, at colette from March 22nd to the 28th and then at the gallery from March 30th to April 24th, by appointment. After making the “Perspective” chair in 2008, designed as a reflection on love, and the work “The Simple Things” in 2009, the fruit of a collaboration with Takashi Murakami, Pharrell Williams tackles the theme of war. Made of Plexiglas and foal or calf, the four models of the Tank chair are released in a limited edition of eight pieces in each style.
