Videos: Samsung Galaxy S4 S Translator

Samsung just released its first TV promotion for the Galaxy 4S, which is making no bones about their target consumer. In the ad, a young exchange student has dinner with an Asian family abroad. The meal is fantastic and she wants to say so, but of course there's that language barrier. So out comes the Galaxy 4S, into which the girl mumbles a phrase: "Food is great." She holds up the phone, and the family looks baffled, but when the Galaxy 4S spits out what she said in their language, everyone laughs.

Uh oh…when Jay-Z gets mad enough or inspired enough to record an impromptu song at 9pm on a Weds night in New York City… we all win! And this morning, the Hot97 Morning Show teamed up with Jay-Z’s LifeAndTimes site to share the results. A heated editorial called “Open Letter.” According to Hot97′s Ebro, Hov was disgusted by the fact that when tuning into CNN, the controversy surrounding him and wife Beyonce’s Cuba trip was the lead story over  an international crisis like the North Korean political threat.  So he recruited Swizz Beats and Timbaland on a beat, and spat some fire and venom. Clearly, another thing thats been “grinding Jay-Z’s gears” is the discussion about the value of his stake in the Brooklyn Nets now that he is selling that percentage to gain his sports agency accreditation.

Rides: Chief Keef's New Audi R8 GT Spyder

http://www.theblueprintmagazine.com/images_frt5/010_keef.png

With the hashtag #ibechoppinshitlikejetli, Chief Keef was back on point in his stunt game, posting photos of an Audi R8 GT Spyder, which has a starting MSRP of $210,300. Whether or not he owns the car, we're just not going to guess, because we honestly have no idea. He's been seen with Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, and Bentleys, so maybe he's actually netted a chunk of change over the past two years. Just for some context, the regular Audi R8 Spyder starts at $127,700. The GT's 5.2L V10 engine has 560hp, 130 more than the regular Spyder, and sports a carbon fiber rear wing and a carbon fiber diffusor that really sets it off. [See More]

Videos: LeBron James Backboard Alley-Oop

Dwyane Wade isn't around to throw alley-oops to LeBron James right now. But, don't worry: LBJ clearly has it covered. Take your time, D-Wade. King James will be just fine without you. The best part about this play is definitely Heat color commentator Tony Fiorentino wondering why he didn't get an assist or a rebound for the play. I don't think it works like that but I'll have to ask Ricky Davis for confirmation. Enjoy.

You won't catch Dame Dash dancing in music videos anymore, but he still has plenty to talk about. His interview on The Combat Jack Show dropped this morning, and he discusses everything. They start out talking about his four children and how he balanced street life and private school, then move onto his experiences in the music and fashion industries, President Obama, how he's fared since separating from Jay-Z, and much more. Listen to the entire two hour interview below.

Finding your next set of spectacles or just a sweet pair of summer shades doesn't need to involve a trip to the mall. The new collection from Glassy Sunhaters ($15-$30 USD) includes 16 different frame designs, each available in a variety of colors and finishes, giving you a huge assortment to choose from. Inspired by the Wayfarer, they look good on basically any face, while details like a rubberized finish on the frames and colored lenses give them a style all their own. The perfect everyday sunglasses. [See More]

Ray J seems to be trying to play the innocent guy role for his latest firebomb. Not long after his “I Hit It First” single impacted the airwaves, Brandy’s lil’ brother called into Hot97 to explain himself. From the jump, he backtracks by saying that the song isn’t about Kim Kardashian, and it’s just a “concept” song. Yea, right. He goes on to say that it’s not a “diss” song and he doesn’t want to “start a war” because it’s all in fun. As you guessed, Ebro, Rosenberg, and Kay Foxx went in. And, there’s a video on the way.

Videos: Battlefield 4 Gameplay Trailer

Sad to say, but it looks like DICE's next installment of the Battlefield franchise will be leaping past current gen consoles and heading straight for your PS4 and Xbox 720. DICE and EA showed off 17 minutes of gameplay for Battlefield 4 on a high-end PC to highlight just how badass their next-gen title is going to look. Fishing in Baku is hoping to set the tone and provide a more engaging, narrative driven first person shooter. Watch the trailer and let us know what you think. No release date has been given as of yet. Enjoy.

Dude, what happened? Brandon Knight was a first-round draft pick a while ago. Now, he headlines the biggest struggle moments of the season. They've been adding up ever since Kyrie Irving broke him back in the All-Star Weekend. Last night, the Timberwolves' Nikola Pekovic decided to get in on the fun by mercilessly trucking him. The best part about it was when Pekovic walked away from it like it was nobody's business; it's as if violating Knight has become a regular deal. Fortunately for Knight, the season will be over soon because he does play for the Pistons.
