Seeing Sounds Review
(Jump for whole story!)
N*E*R*D's third album Seeing Sounds was released on June 10th. I gave it a listen and it's amazing! I have to admit that some of the harmonies sound familiar, but it's still an awesome CD. Some 21-7 fav's are: Yeah You, Anti Matter & You Know What. The entire CD will get you hype, very upbeat. Love Bomb is a slow beat song, but it has a beautiful meaning behind it, "Fuck what the government says!"
check these 30 second snippets of the songs:
"Why you Dr. Kill Joy, shootin' up the party!"
check out N*E*R*D!!

Nas: Be a N***** Too
Nas has been a poetic genius since he first came on the scene in '94.
Much controversy has been made about the title of his new album, which we discussed previously. He has decided to change the album's name to Nas with this intense album cover:
This is his first single off the album entitle Be A N***er Too
The video, directed by Rik Cordero, has serious visuals, showing the development of the word and it's continued existence today.
Watch this over 7 minute long video with caution. The words of Nas have such depth and punch, but the video really helps you see the whole point.
Saucony? Really?
Yessir, sneaker store David Z. has created a pack of Sauconys called Run Away and I must say i'm diggin' these. Inspired by the GoldBar, they are available at the David Z. store in Soho June 12th, going for $90.
Alife got a collabo wit Saucony as well. Peep those after the jump
sensing a come back?

FLOBOTS
Armed with musicianship, intelligence, and an ingrained sense of rebellion, Flobots are looking to engage a new musical culture, one mind at a time.
I was awoken at about 5am the other morning to the words "I can ride my bike with no handlebars, with no handlebars"
As soon as the video ended, I typed Flobots into my centro's memo, because I had to know who the hell these people were.
peep the Handlebars video below:
When you enter their site or their myspace you'll find the members looking like bandits, their faces hidden with the American flag.
Flobots.com tells us:
When a pair of intelligent, visionary emcees joins forces with a battle-hardened, groove-fusing rhythm section, a classically trained violist, and a jazz trumpet player, the result is a sound that explores and expands the frontiers of live hip-hop.
These Denvor, Colorado natives have taken progessive music to a whole nother level. At only 3 years old they have sold out their current Summer tour, always sell out in Denver, & their first recording sold over 3000 copies!
The vocals are outstanding, the lyrics are raw and captivating, the music is undeniable.
We are witnessing a new spin on hip hop & it sounds beautiful. And naw they don't just have one hit...listen to their myspace music for yourself, myspace.com/flobots
Brer Rabbit, Jonny 5, ANDY ROK, Mackenzie Roberts, Kenny O, & Jesse Walker create Flobots. They are using their music to help people help our world. They have a non profit organization, Flobots.org that is working towards changes in our communities. They do charity work and are looking for people to join their street team. Flobots is what we need right now. Not just musically, not just lyrically, but socially as well.
Put ya hands up! For Flobots!

And history is made!
Barack Obama has won the primary vote! He will be representing us democrats in the race of presidency. Going into our kids future text books will be Barack Obama becoming the 1st black presidental candidate on June 3rd, 2008. Holla!
There are talks of Hilary Clinton being VP & I think that'd be great....but all that matters now is kicking McCain's ass.
You guys better register to vote. Weather you love or hate America, you still live here....contribute to the possibilty of change. Hopeful is better than hopeless.
Obama said in his 1st winning speech:
America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past.
Let's hope he'll do us good.
SB June joints!
Nike SB June releases...These are my 3 fav....i think the zoom air harbors (top 1s) are an interesting style....peep the rest at hypebeast.
