This video doesn’t have a whole lot to do with adulthood, it’s a song about how Danny Brown knew he was going to be dope when he was a kid, BUT Danny Brown is one of my favorite new rappers. If you’re not up on him, his album XXX (pronounce “30″), that came out last year was filled with original, funny songs about his dark childhood and his pretty awesome life now. Anyways, this is an awesome music video. It successfully bites the Spike Jonze video for Biggie’s “Sky’s the Limit”, casting an adorable kid to play Brown. AND it re-creates the bike accident that knocked out Brown’s front teeth. It’s just a good video for today.

A few reasons why you shouldn’t be jealous of the Facebook graffiti artist guy
One of the most frequently reported human interest narratives around the news of Facebook’s impending IPO has been the story of graffiti artist David Choe. To those who missed the story, Choe was hired by Facebook to paint murals in their Palo Alto office in 2005. In lieu of receiving $60,000 for his work, Choe opted to take stock, stock which is now estimated to be worth half a billion dollars. Excuse me. HALF A BILLION DOLLARS!!!!! (There’s more on the story here)
Now, your natural inclination may be to say, “Half a billion dollars? Why does this guy get half a billion dollars? I want half a billion dollars! I could buy a house in the center of the city, get a whole cool new wardrobe and take time off to travel. And I’d totally donate a bunch of it to charity, because I’m, like, a super good person.”
