We usually try to avoid viral videos (they start to smell of age as soon as you post them), but it’s a slow news day. I’m curious to know just what these marketers were thinking. How does this make me want to drink Absolut????
The clown princes of hip-hop released their latest mixtape and from what we’ve heard of it so far, it’s ice cooooold. Download it for free at their MySpace and be sure to keep your windows rolled down this weekend. Here’s our favorite song:
Cool Kids - Full & Paid
A while back we told you about the Nike-commissioned mix from A-Trak as part of their Original Run series. Here’s the first single, for those of you looking to strap on your jogging shoes or just get the par-tay started. Thanks to Mike for passing this along!
A-Trak - Say Whoa
Alright, this pic has been out for a few days now but what the hell, here you go if you haven’t caught it yet. Here’s what we know about the Air Yeezy: uber exclusive, may not ever get a release, aaaaand that’s about it. Come on people, what will it take to get a Wikipedia [...]
Adam Yauch/MCA/Nathaniel Hornblower/Cochise is currently promoting his streetball documentary, “Gunnin’ For That Number 1 Spot” and will be stopping by Current TV’s L.A. studios to answer any and all viewer questions. Ask him anything. A-na-thang-a. Ask him what his favorite underwear is. Ask him if he thinks Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams is as weird [...]
Kanye’s favorite Canadian DJ, A-Trak, has joined the ranks of LCD Soundsystem and Aesop Rock to create a mix for Nike’s Original Run campaign. The 45 minute mix, dubbed Running Man, will not only be the DJ’s first full-length production but will also provide his first official single with the release of “Say Whoa.” I guess you might [...]
We mentioned this collabo a while ago and it sounded like something that could either be Mount-Olympus-awesome or ear-rapingly bad. Thankfully it falls more into the Mount Olympus category. The track is called “My Drive Thru” and as previously mentioned it was commissioned as part of Converse’s centennial celebration.
Stream it at Stereogum. [...]
This past Sunday, Nike hosted an exclusive event to celebrate the inimitable Dunks. Festivities included the hip hop orchestra conducted by Double G, The Cool Kids and No Age. Along with the music there was a Celtic dunk tank, free BBQ, a slip and slide and, oh yeah, free Dunks for lucky party goers (like [...]
Featuring past and future Arizona Wildcats, Jerryd Bayless and Brandon Jennings, this movie looks like streetball at its best and features a new Beastie Boys track as well as Jay-Z and Nas on the soundtrack.
From The Playlist
Directed by Adam Yauch (of the Beastie Boys), Gunnin’ follows eight of the country’s hottest high school basketball players [...]
The Kidz with a ‘Z’ and their second album, The In Crowd, are currently playing on repeat in our car and iTunes and show no signs of being bumped from the rotation any time soon. Have to admit, I wasn’t sold at first, but the record does a better job updating the classic Tribe [...]
This is the first track to emerge off the new, Danger-Mouse-produced LP from the white, electric soul machine. Definitely more in line with his psychedelic “Mutations” era stuff than any of the beat driven stuff from his last two albums.
Personally, we think Beck is due for another genre album similar to “Sea Change” (still [...]
It sounds like Pharrell and co. have rediscovered their Rump Shaker ways with a track that reminds of 2 Live Crew mixed with some Steely Dan schmaltz. Enjoy.
