Taken from “Heart of The City” that Jay-Z performed in Dublin back in ‘06...
Seeing as they were in U2’s territory, Green Lantern sampled “Sunday Bloody Sunday” and had Dante Hawkins sing the hook for this mash-up...
Q-Tip on A Tribe Called Quest's Body of Work
i love this kind of shit...
Go pick up Q-Tip's new album The Renaissance this tuesday 11/4, you won't be disappointed - shit is very reminiscent of that old Tribe vibe - though not exactly up to that par (could it ever be again?), it definitely flows along the same wavelength... here's a taste from two of my favorite songs on the album:
The Foreign Exchange "Daykeeper" feat. Muhsinah (VIDEO)
one of the more artistic music videos i've seen recently especially in terms of imagery pairing in sync w/ the music... pretty dope
Musiq "If U Leave" feat. Mary J Blige (VIDEO)
had to post this because a) i'm an old school musiq fan from aijuswanaseing (or however u spell it) who won't front about having 'just friends' in heavy rotation 8 years ago in high school as i hopelessly scoped out shorties after class in the wack cavalier haha and b) mary j and musiq just are just butta soft together. great song 4sho.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD (XBOX, PS3, etc)
This and Wii Punch Out are definitely at the top of the wish list for 09.

The Return of Slim Shady
Em is a monster on this 2 min teaser track, it's definitely official. Reminds me of when he was still hungry and consistently spit insane, inspired rewind-that-what-did-he-just-say type flows - pre-Slim Shady EP, during the Rawkus/Scam/Royce 5'9'' collab days, or even that verse we all love on Hova's "Renegade." New album Relapse coming soon.

Yeezy premiered this and other tracks from 808s and Heartbreak in LA this past tuesday among eager press, celebrities, and... 40 nekkid models?

DJ Clark Kent on Being Fresh
Great interview from one of the most important DJ's in hip-hop, who helped break the careers of many a legendary figure, Jay-Z and B.I.G. to name a couple, you might have heard of them... he talks about kicks in the beginning but goes into some great stories about being at the crux of the last truly great era of talent in hip-hop that we have yet to see matched to date.

Nike Snowboarding Launch
I absolutely do not need a new pair of boots and I'm not sure if I would need these in particular, but Nike's launch of their new Snowboarding division this month is my excuse for a post on boarding. I'm so excited for this season - for one thing it'll be the first real test of my right leg which I had surgery on a couple months short of a year ago to repair a fully ruptured achilles. Hard to believe it was that long ago when I was bound to my crutches looking like this:
This is me on my first double-dosage of 4 vicodin, immediately after I regained feeling in my leg over 24 hrs post-op (which had to have been a record according to my anesthesiologist - usually it only takes about 6 hrs). Before the vicodin it felt like satan was eating my leg for dinner. Yea pills.
I'll save you from pics of my battle wound and massive, guitar-pick scab clumps even though I'm definitely one of those people who have fun showing stuff like that. haha. Flashback tangents aside, really can't f'n wait to hit the slopes and go boarding again, Dr says I'm months ahead of schedule in recovery so hopefully I'll be fine.
Anyway back to the regularly scheduled post. Visit Nike Snowboarding if you're interested in their newly launched division. Should be interesting to see how it will compete over the next few years with Burton and the other big dogs, if it'll take over as big a market share as Nike SB did in the skate world.

Osang Gwon x Keane
Via-Hypebeast:
As part of the latest album release from Keane, the British rock band partnered with innovative sculptor Osang Gwon to create part of the artwork for their Perfect Symmetry album. Osang Gwon’s style which began approximately 10 years ago enlisted a painstaking method of utilizing photography along with Styrofoam sculpture to bring together the 2-D world of photography with that of the 3-D world of sculptures. Each member of the band is photographed through numerous angles and from there the images are pieced back together to create a sculpture which offers an interesting vision of the real-life versions of each band member. A short interview can also be seen at CreativeReview.co.uk regarding the process and time commitments.
