UPDATE: We found a trailer highlighting some of the work found on the BLU 2010 DVD so we’re embedding it below and reposting. Enjoy! Unfortunately generating buzz for all the wrong reasons the last couple weeks, what with the infamous MOCA mural whitewashing, BLU releases a DVD to remind us all why we should care […]

Russell Brand, Jonah Hill and Puffy resurrect the rock star myth
