For all you urban and suburbarn ninjas… This ish is the Soundbomb!

Soundbombing used to be a pretty ill series of hip-hop records from Rawkus. Now you can add it to the growing list of modern-day ninja weaponry. This cartoonish device is a play on the idea of graffiti and ownership of space. Dubbed the Soundbomb by its creators, the clear plastic sphere has a motion sensor, recording module and two loudspeakers. It’s pretty straightforward: Record a message, hang up your Soundbomb and wait for unsuspecting passersby to be pelted with auditory enlightenment.

Y’all ready for some Watur?

Naw, it ain’t the newest hit single out of the durty durty south. It’s the newest needlessly fly thing that I’ve laid my ninja eyes on. So I know, you thought your auto-tinting, fingerprint-reading, sandwich-making door in your Bill-Gates mansion was dope, but IS IT A WATERFALL? I thought not.

The Watur is an actual door, but instead of being made of wood, glass, stone or some other practical material, it’s constructed of falling water. It’s basically an empty door-frame on hinges with sprinklers at the top and a basin at the bottom. Pretty simple, yes, but gangsta-Scarface status nonetheless.
I wish a ninja would try to break in on me now. He might get rained on!

Epicurean ninjas are tender with their pepper and salt… Just so…

These salt and pepper stems (fancy shakers, for y’all un-cultured ninjas) are truly for heads with distinguished taste. Their unique design, constructed of pyrex glass and cork, allows "better control over the condiments by a very light tapping from the horizontal position (as if letting ash fall from a cigarette)." Or a blunt, for all
you non-smokers.

Blacklisted

Now homeless and writing at a shelter, Eric Monte, creator of Good Times and Cooley High, filed a suit in the 1970s against a major studio and never saw work again…

Thanks Ian.

"When you put down one mother, you put down mothers all over the world!" Mr. T Raps!

That’s right. The imminent follow-up to our previous Mr. T post, we’ve located the much sought after Mr. T hip-hop video, "Treat Your Mother Right." This dude can shred the microphone. A true ninja making us all proud.

Good looks, Ian

Hear the War Drums/Hear My Cry

One of my favorite videos ever made, Tommy Seebach’s music video for the disco/rock/funk band, Apache.

Also, just to get one thing clear, this is a blatant example of why cowboys are so un-ninja. Enjoy.

Thanks youtube.

Brush Up On Your Dirty Window Drawing Skills

The dirty dirty man and the dirty dirty myth. Scott Wade is a ninja who realized after years of refusing to wash his hooptie that beauty might still be salvageable. He got mad skills to be seen here.

Props to Ianfor the heads up…

Ninjas don’t do drugs… unless they’re ill 80s ninjas!

So for all you hipster-ass, hypeset, billionaire boys club ninjas, think about this goldplated bic pen cap-turned-extra-jiggy coke spoon pendant. At least you’ll look a bit less like a head when you’re rockin this, and if anyone says anything, you can stab ’em in the eye with it. Just be careful with this thing in your nose while you’re engaged in high-intensity combat, ya heard?
