Neo-soul singer Jesse Boykins III has recently released a video to accompany his take on the Andre 3000′s classic “Prototype”. Jesse explains the video : "In a time where life is often guided by misconception and tainted love its hard to truly find someone who is there for you for all the right reasons. No matter how you deliver your heart to a person, you still have to wait for them to open it up. I came up with this concept to inspire honesty. I’ve learned through life, communication is everything when you’re in a relationship. Take these visuals as an example of how something could be if there is no truth between two parties. She/He is your prototype and could be so much more if you allow it. Never Take The Love Of Your Believer For Granted. Much Thanks to Andre 3000." - Jesse Boykins III

Finals Game One
Game 1 of the NBA Finals
Kevin Durant nails a wide-open three-pointer at the beginning of a Thunder possession to cut the Heat lead to two with 7:24 to go. It is really inexcusable that no one picked up Durant in transition—he’s the three-time defending scoring champ and he attempts over five threes per game.
Miami ends the first half up 54-47, with Battier the game’s second-leading scorer (tied with Durant) with 13 points. Though OKC didn’t make up any ground on the Heat in terms of points in the second quarter, they shot markedly better (11-for-17), including three consecutive makes from Ibaka late in the quarter.
With Miami cooling off from three (1-for-4 in the quarter), the game has become much more even—a quick run from either team in the second half could make this anyone’s game.
Thabo Sefolosha intercepts a Haslem pass and is fouled by Wade on his way to the basket, hitting both free throws to trim the Heat lead to one with 7:48 to go. It’s a wonder that Kevin Durant hasn’t shot more, though. He’s attempted just three shots since the first quarter—which doesn’t make any sense, since he is the league’s premier offensive player and is shooting 6-for-9 to this point in the game.
Russell Westbrook hasn’t been very good getting to the rim so far Game 1. Most of his attempts have come from the Thunder’s half-court sets, but Westbrook is better suited driving the lane on the break. Westbrook is shooting just 5-for-15, and he makes another unsuccessful trip to the paint with 2:57 to play, where his shot attempt is blocked by Wade. Luckily, Perkins is there for the rebound, making a nice hook shot from six feet to bring the score to 69-66, Miami.
A three-point play by Westbrook gives OKC a 74-73 lead after three. It’s the Thunder’s first lead of the game.
LeBron James didn’t completely wilt in the fourth quarter, with seven points on 2-for-6 shooting, but on the Heat’s biggest possession—just over a minute to go, Miami down seven—James began to drive before kicking the ball out to Chris Bosh, who missed a three-pointer. Bosh hit some big threes in Game 7 against Boston, but that’s not the shot you want to be taking with the game on the line if you’re Miami. Overall, James was pretty close to his averages, putting up a line of 30 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists to go with an impressive 4 steals. But a line like that won’t get it done in the Finals because…
Nick Collison again proves why he’s one of the league’s most underappreciated players, backtapping an offensive rebound (his eighth board in eleven minutes) to extend a Thunder possession that ultimately ends with a nice feed from Fisher to a cutting Sefolosha for a layup to put OKC up, 78-73, with 10:12 to play. Erik Spoelstra, sensing a potential momentum swing, quickly calls timeout. Collison does the same thing again four minutes later, leading to a Durant three.
Durant hits a three to make it 91-83, Thunder, with 4:41 to play. As he did against the Spurs, Durant is taking over in the fourth quarter. He has three rebounds so far in the quarter and has hit six of his last eight shots.
OKC pulls away down the stretch to win, 105-94. The Thunder improve to a perfect 9-0 at home in the 2012 Playoffs, and if they continue to hold serve, they’ll become NBA champions.

Facebook buys Instagram for 1 billion dollars
Facebook snapped up the hugely popular photo-sharing appInstagram Monday, for roughly $1 billion in a combination of cash and stock.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the acquisition in a post on his Facebook Timeline Monday.
The sale is expected to close later this quarter, and will bring the 8-person staff of Instagram to the social network.
“For years, we’ve
focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your
friends and family,” Zuckerberg said in the post. “Now, we’ll be able to
work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best
experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on
your interests.”
Zuckerberg went
on to say that the company will be building on Instagram’s strengths and
features and growing the app independently rather than “just trying to
integrate everything into Facebook.”
Facebook plans on
keeping features within the app that allow photos to be published on
other social networks, and the ability to have followers and follow
people who are not necessarily your Facebook friends.
“We will try to
learn from Instagram’s experience to build similar features into our
other products,” Zuckerberg said. “At the same time, we will try to help
Instagram continue to grow by using Facebook’s strong engineering team
and infrastructure.”
Instagram launched its iOS app in October 2010, and came to Android for the first time last week.
This is the first
time Facebook has acquired a company or product with so many users. “We
don’t plan on doing many more of these, if any at all.” Zuckerberg
said. “But providing the best photo sharing experience is one reason why
so many people love Facebook and we knew it would be worth bringing
these two companies together.”
What do you think
this means for the photo-sharing app — and how will it boost the social
network? Let us know your thoughts in the comments

Mr. MFN eXquire | Selector & Toca Tuesday Freestyle’s
It was a great month of March for Mr.Muthafuckin’ eXquire, he announced that he has taken his talents over to Universal Records, one of the biggest record labels has signed one of the rawest out. Just when you thought the rap game was going too commercial. He ripped this year’s SXSW festival and he has also killed some live freestyles for Pitchfork and Tony Touch. The Selector freestyle he put on for Pitchfork involved him being in a place that he loved and someone throwing random words at him while 2 strippers dropped it low in front of him. He also spit something crazy for Tony Touch to a 50 Cent instrumental, these opportunities have gave eXquire a chance to prove his true skills and the people now know the real deal.

Lone Star Hitters
This past weekend some of my homies over at Sucker Punch took a trip to Lone Star Hitters Boxing Club in Katy. They sponsored an event hosted by the club and although it was like an oven in there, it was good to see the amount of volunteers and supporters that came out for this event. It was very enlightening to witness young talented amateur fighters doing something really productive, beating the hell out of each other LEGALLY, not the type of madness that you might find on worldstar hip hop of course! With good sportsmanship afterwards. I hope that by them sponsoring and doing community outreach projects like this, more people are able to relate and support the brand and recognize that they're are more than just a clothing brand/store. Big S/O to David Donis for showing me some love and S/O to DJ Big Greg who put me on to the event and got me in free of charge. Peep the flicks.
