San Francisco-based creative group Agency Charlie continues their Neighbors series with this video focusing on the legendary SF graffiti artist Mike Giant. The Neighbors series is a video series that features short stories from individuals from various neighborhoods in San Francisco. The video is a very short glimpse into the life of Mike Giant. He discusses his art and his philosophy on work ethics and people who "fuck around". Check out more on the series at Agency Charlie's vimeo.

DREW's Note: Damn...why is video so short! Anyways, this video is a must watch, not only for artist, but for everyone. After watching this video, it makes me want to just work and get things done.

New York actor and well-known Hip-Hop fanatic, Michael Rappaport, directed one of the most highly anticipated Hip-Hop documentaries, Beats, Rhymes & Fights: The History of A Tribe Called Quest. After two years in the making, the documentary follows Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and Jarobi also known as the critically acclaimed Hip-Hop group A Tribe Called Quest. Rappaport follows the group during their reunion tour and uncovers the truth behind the group's beginnings in Queens and their dramatic fights after the disbandment of ATCQ. The film also features special guest appearances from De La Soul, Nas, Kanye West, Mos Def, and many more people who were influenced and inspired by ATCQ and their music. There is no actually release date yet but keep your eyes and ears out because it will be sooner than later.

DREW's Note: FINALLY! A documentary on ATCQ, easily one of my favorite Hip-Hop groups...PERIOD! When I saw this trailer, I was so juiced and when I read that Michael Rappaport is directing it, I knew that this story was in good hands. Can't Wait! CHECK THE RHYME, Y'ALL!

San Francisco's very own HUF links up with legendary Bay Area tattoo artist, Freddy Corbin, for a capsule collection for the 2010 Holiday season. The collection will obviously feature pieces that are inspired and designed by Corbin. The collection will have a cardigan, tees, snapback hats and a club jacket. The pieces are now available at HUF locations and their webstore. The photos were taken at Corbin's tattoo shop in Oakland, Temple Tattoos, by photographer Dennis McGrath. More photos are after the jump...

DREW's Note: Corbin and his tattoo shop, Temple Tattoos, is a well-established and legendary known spot in the Bay Area. I think it's dope when two local brands at two different points of the spectrum link up for a collaborative effort. I'm loving the club jacket.

As part of Gatorade's thrid season of their Replay video series, Common, Lupe Fiasco, Jennifer Hudson and producer No I.D., four of Chicago's finest, join forces to create "We Can Do it Now", an anthem for their hometown. The relation with this collaboration is that the third season of Replay is based on the controversial game of the 2000 Illinois state basketball playoff game between two Chicago high schools, Bloom Township and Brother Rice. A game that was decided by a gun...literally! For a teaser, check www.replaytheseries.com. The track is a very soulful production that perfectly represents the Windy City. For the download and a video on making the track is after the jump...

DREW's Note: This is a dope collaboration, there is nothing wrong with this list of artist. As for the Replay series, it's a very interesting story, I recommend people to check out the series and I DEFINITELY recommend people to check out the track.

As everyone probably already knows, the world-famous Daft Punk are the composers of the soundtrack for the most anticipated movie of the decade, TRON: LEGACY. As part of the movie's promotion, the French duo is featured on one of the movie posters. In classic TRON and Daft Punk fashion, the poster is also glow in the dark. The movie is set for a release on December 17th, so mark your calenders and get your NEON on!

DREW's Note: When it comes to collaborations, there is none as perfect as Daft Punk and TRON. I'm a big fan of both and I can't wait for TRON Day to come. Plus, could someone make me a Daft Punk-like helmet...PLEASE!

In late May 2010, the well-established skateshoe company éS took their skate team to Europe for a two-week tour known as "To Europe With Love" . éS was able to compile a collection of footage from that tour into two videos. The éS team visited cities like London, England; Bordeaux, France; and Bilbao, Spain. The video featured the team, that included skate pros like John Rattay, Kellen James,  Bobby Worrest, and Mike Anderson, tearing it up throughout Europe's urban landscapes. Part one of the video is above while the part two and the full list of the éS team is after the jump...

DREW's Note: The tour videos were shot beautifully. The clarity plus the European surroundings gives it an artsy feel to the videos. As for the team, they obviously ripped it. I mean how can you not rip it when you have skaters like Kellen James and Mike Anderson.
