Today’s Buy It Now is the Trucker Cap, which is a collabo between clothing line Amongst Friends and UGK member Bun B. This hat, which boasts a “gangster stripe” pattern and has a leather adjustable strap, is just one part of a joint venture that also includes T-shirts. Incorporating the likes of Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, and Huey Newton into its collection, the AF crew just wants you to live your life as the cap says: like a Trill OG.

VOTE: Will “Machete” Revive Lindsay Lohan’s Movie Career?12:45 pm | Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

LL_MachetePeople are always talking about Complex cover girl Lindsay Lohan and her indecent exposures, rehab stints, incarceration, and unimpeachable movie career. OK, that last one was a lie. Not since 2004, when she was starring in Tina Fey’s comedy Mean Girls, has anyone really given a damn about her projects (no offense to anyone who owns Georgia Rule and I Know Who Killed Me on DVD). A career turnaround for LiLo may start tomorrow, when she returns to the big screen in Robert Rodriguez’s amazing “Mexploitation” flick Machete. Lohan plays the drug-addicted nymph daughter of a shady businessman who frames Machete, an ex-Federale played by ex-con-turned-character-actor-turned-leading-man Danny Trejo, for murder. Playing a cool part in a cool movie completely turned around the careers of John Travolta (Pulp Fiction) and Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler). Can it do the same for Lindsay? You tell us.

A few weeks from now, we’ll just have memories of late nights at the club, barbecues, and chilling at the beach. But we’ll also remember the songs that played in the background while we did all that. Songs that were bouncy, up-tempo, and sounded great blasting out of the whip. That’s why we put together The Top 10 Songs of The Summer. So try and enjoy the nice weather while you can—and ride out with us one last time, because this summer was ours.

Wake N' Watch

Wake N’ Watch: Cee-Lo Green “F*** You” Music Video8:00 am | Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

By now, the soulful crooner of Atlanta’s Dungeon Family has undoubtedly stood on his own two feet banging out singles after singles. The latest addition to his ever-expanding catalogue is the witty love song “Fuck You.” Despite the foul title, which has Cee-Lo’s mouth in combat with the soap, the song is upbeat, and features nostalgic qualities of ’60s pop-soul records that can (possibly) appeal to all generations. Featuring Cee-Lo’s experience with love in various stages of his life, from background choruses to candy-color old-school outfits, the video does the song justice. Peep it above, and ‘cuss out those that broke your heart.

Tune in to Complex.com every morning at 8 AM for your daily “Wake N’ Watch” video.
