Of course you’ve heard of Modest Mouse, but have you heard them in this fashion? We got the answer, its no. Check out this K Theory remix of the 2004 smash hit Float On. We theorize you’ll take a liking.
R&U ENDORSED: TY STACKZ & JesseGotBangerz released a new visual for “The Combination” and lets just say we’re proud to be represented within it. Jesse himself reps the “BOLD!” snapback as TY does what he does best; making the show slap. The two have been on a number of collabs and it doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.
TY STACKZ’ EP “By Myself” will be releasing soon and if interested in keeping up with their function type sounds make sure to give their soundclouds a follow.
R&U does the best job it can on keeping you up with the cusp of pop culture, art, fashion, and sometimes even trap music. If you’re looking for something to light up the bass components of your transportation vehicle than look no further than J $tash. The 20-year young growing icon has a unique style in the realm of trap music that may make you a believer. Head man of Relax Rekords, expect alot from the upcoming artist on many fronts.
It has almost been 24 hours since this years Superbowl and all the Katy Perry are beginning to cool off (Yes that is in reference to her Jeremy Scott leather flame dress). This year, the lackluster game was matched by the equally lackluster ads. Most of us can only assume it's due to the controversial season that the NFL had this past year. Most of the commercials had to do with kindness, bullying and abuse (I wonder why...) and most companies stayed clear of the comedy route. But, the ones that did, stole the ad-block. Here is R&U's pick for best Superbowl ads this year:
Taken it to Seriously: Liam Neeson x Clash Of Clans:
A personal favorite around the Rare&Uncommon office, due to our affinity for the mobile game. The commercial starts off like any other but takes a more sinister turn. We pan out to see Liam Neeson himself monologging revenge as he awaits his scone.
See our other picks after the jump.
Hail to the Chef: Bryan Cranston x Esurance:
Bryan Cranston reprises his role as the fan favorite, head chef, Walter White. This time, it's not to cook, but to sell insurance. Filled with fun call backs from AMC's hit show, "Sorta Greg" is part of a new Esurance campaign to let everyone know that your insurance company shouldn't put people into demographics, but treat them as an individual. On that same note, if you are an 18-32 male who likes drama television shows, You should watch AMC's Breaking Bad on Netflix...
A Very Odd Brady Commercial: Trejo x Buscemi x Snickers x Brady Bunch
It's very difficult to rank the best commercials because they are all so different. But the commercial that seemed to get the biggest laughs around the television this Sunday had to be The Brady Bunch Snickers Commercial. Expert visual and sound editing, contrasting ideals, as well as a few great cameos is a great formula for a successful comedy bit. This one had it all. Shout out to Steve Buscemi and Danny Trejo for this one.
Did you enjoy Superbowl XLIX? Which commercial did you like best? Let us know.
After months and months of (what seemed to be) shaky news about Josh Trank's (Chronicles) reboot of Marvel's Fantastic Four, we finally get to see the long awaited teaser trailer. This younger, darker, more contemporary re-imagining of the first superhero team seemed destined for disaster for fans of the series due to all the negative headlines it made, but as the trailer played out, it gave glimmers of hope. From the films description we pretty much know; A young Reed Richards (Miles Teller) creates a ship that will travel to an alternate dimension, that will presumably give him and his crew (Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, and Jamie Bell) their super powers. Although the trailer didn't speak too much on a plot or storyline, it did show some pretty cool visuals. From the scenes of space ships, to glowing HUDs, landing on other worlds, to seeing a black Johnny Storm 'Flame on', and Ben Grimm emerge from a rubble cocoon, the movie seems like a sci-i lovers dream. Although no appearance of the iconic Dr.Doom was present in the teaser, we can be sure to see him in some capacity when the full length trailer drops (hopefully on Super Bowl Sunday). There is so much that can be discussed about this trailer and the hopes and fears of the movies success (or lack there of) but you'll just have to settle for the clip below.
The Fantastic Four blasts into theaters August 7th 2015.

Earlier this week Marvel released their entire 2015 release calendar. As a few of us at the R&U office flipped through the covers and synopsis of the upcoming comics, we noticed there was a very clear homage on one of the covers. That nod mentioned was none other than Killer Mike and El-P's Run the Jewels album cover being reenacted by The Merc with a Mouth and The Mad Titan, Thanos, wearing his Infinity Gauntlet. Nerd and Hip-Hop heads rejoice. As we kept scrolling, we saw the same hand gestures on the cover of another cover. This time, it was the likes of the new fan favorite Rocket Racoon and his good friend Howard the Duck (both of which you can see in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy). But this time, their hands are wrapped up like mummies and put against a red background, similar to the style of the recently released, Run The Jewels 2. T
This isn't the first (or second) time hip-hop as made it's way into the Marvel Universe. In the not so distant past, IronMan found himself on the porch of Eminem's home portrayed in Marshall Mathers 2 EP album cover for a variant cover for an issue of Marvel's Might Avengers (issue #3 to be exact). Also, Not many people know, or remember, that Eminem is actual part of the Marvel main continuity, as he has teamed up with the Punisher for a mini series in 2009.
You can see the Marvel x Run the Jewels variants above and below, and you can see the actual Run the Jewels covers after the jump. Don't forget that Killer Mike and El-P will also be performing night 2 at this year's Coachella in April.
One For Me (Featuring Tinashe) by Ryan Hemsworth off of Guilt Trips (2013)
Here is an older (if you can even call it that) track by Ryan Hemsworth. Today we decided to feature an artist that will be performing at this year's Coachella Music Festival. The song is one of our favorites from his second studio album, and it features an artist that has been getting some decent radio play, Tinashe. From her TDE collab, 2 On, to her new remix with one of the Jonas Brothers, Jealous, she has been making bigger and bigger waves in the mainstream music scene. The song boasts a very chill vibe stemming from a sample of Frou Frou's hit single "Let Go". Are you guys going to check him out at Coachella this year?
JE$$EGOTBANGERZ & Ty Stackz on the #NoLabelTour2015
JE$$EGOTBANGERZ has been busy last time we had a chance to speak to him. His music has been getting some serious play in 2014, you can even hear it bumping on some club speakers in the California area. The young producer doesn't take all of the credit, He attributes some of the success to a producer and engineer he's been working with that also previously worked with, Georgia rapper, 2 Chainz. As of recent he's teamed up with frequent collaborator, Ty Stackz, on a new project called, No Help. The project will be entirely produced by JE$$E.
If that wasn't enough, the eager duo are taking the show on the road. They have recently announced that they will be part of the #NoLabelTour2015. 10 shows spanning California and Nevada. The tour kicks off in Whittier, CA at the end of January, right in time to promote the release of No Help (expected to be released some time in February). You can expect some of us from Rare&Uncommon to be showing up to some of the SoCal shows.
Check out the tour dates above, along with Ty Stackz' newest single 'Know My Name Tho' produced by JE$$EGOTBANGERZ. You can find and follow them on the links below:

After a 4 year hiatus, N.E.R.D. lives again. Proof that "no one ever really dies". The song was made for the upcoming, live action, Spongebob Squarepants Movie. The Hot-n-Fun artists previously performed on stage together at this past Odd Future Carnival in LA. For some of us at the R&U office, we haven't been this excited about N.E.R.D. since Kanye West's Glow in the Dark Tour. Check out the new track below and keep wishing for new N.E.R.D. tracks in the future. Keep checking back at RareUncommon.com for more new music!
Today, the WB #blessed us with something fans have been itching for since 2011, The Entourage Movie trailer. In fact, any news would have gotten us excited, and it did. The huge Entourage following on social networks is real. Almost everyone on the cast rushed to their social outlet of choice to let the Entourage groupies know that a teaser would be coming soon. They even made you download a stupid app to look at a few pictures. But today we get the actual trailer, featuring Vinnie's new project, Ari and the Gang, Lloyd, Billy, Sloan, and Mark Wahlberg himself. We even got treated with 2 movie posters; One being the before mentioned Vinnie Chase movie: Hyde (co-starring Calvin Harris) and the other being an actual teaser for the HB series film. You can check those out below and the premier trailer above.
