Not so long ago in 1979 (well, okay - I wasn’t even alive then) the population of Elephants in the world was over 1.3 million; today, that number stands at under 500,000. That’s almost a 50% decline in Elephant-babies. That’s bad… So, our heroes at concept-label Scifen decided …

We have mentioned these Bape G-Shock Watches here before, but we’ve never actually posted about them. So, I took it upon myself to make a post about one now. I decided we’d be looking at the yellow version, simply because that’s my favourite (even though I own a white one) and also …

Me, being the only UK-based writer at Urban Lookout, often get asked the following question (I’ll quote the most recent variation of this question that I’ve received through the Contact Us page):

This video has been going around the interwebs for around a month now, but despite that a lot of people still haven’t seen this classic footage. Basically, it shows a bunch of tourists filming when suddenly, along comes Busta Rhymes. They ask Busta for a photograph, but as he is on his way to the bathroom, he ignores them for a moment. This results in some woman calling him ignorant, which in turn makes Busta beat her down (not literally). The stupid British woman did deserve what she got though, I have to admit. I’m British and really, I hate that dumb chick. Video after the jump.

Over the years, I’ve slowly been getting tired of Reebok. Some people may gasp in shock at that, but I don’t care - I said it. Reebok are becoming boring and repetitive.

Seeing as T.I has just been offered a 15 year sentence as a plea deal a couple of days ago, things are not looking good for the future of the south’s saviour. If T.I was to accept this plea deal, he would end up serving an absolute minimum of 13 years of the sentence – which is not good! We …
