Foundphotoslj finds photos "on the street, in parking lots, in the trash, in the gutter, under shrubbery, at the grocery store, on buses and subways, outside dumpsters, inside dumpsters, in books, at the swap meet and other places around the city," and uploads them for our viewing pleasure.

Hours of fun for the whole family, with titles that are right on. I especially recommend the "City of Compton Collection" and "Yearbook Photos." Enjoy…

8hands Featured Ghetto Superstars: Bangers and Cash

It's hard not to adore Spank Rock. There's something about him that can appeal everyone - from the indie kids to the gangsta rappers. On his last year's booty-movin' album, "YoYoYoYoYo", he made hip-hop anthem's that you could hear in an "Entourage" episode or in a Sophia Coppola's film. Dumb and hyphy attitude? You betcha. Intelligent sub-contest? Of course. And now he is back. Not that he had ever really left, but in the last couple of weeks he is everywhere, promoting he's new project Bangers and Cash.

Bangers and Cash are Spank Rock and 19 years old producer Benny Blanco. Their brand new EP is dropping tomorrow, and a few of it's tracks are already on Spank Rock's MySpace profile. It's hot as it can be, and as filthy as possible. Spank rock is so incredibly self aware that songs like like "Bitch" or "Shake That", with all of their nastiness, can be mistaken for a post-bling-bling intellectual thing - but really, it could be just great music about living the good life. Oh... and what do you know? There is also a line about us in one of the songs: "8hands is nothing but a hoochy mama". Ok... not really... I lied.
