Just a little something that keeps me and Wale inspired. This is one of those songs you need to listen to four times in a row every time you listen to it.
ELITASTE GOT A VISION THAT’S CLEARER THAN EVIAN

My homey Brandon hit me yesterday afternoon telling me Kanye and Common were gonna be at Area. I was like “sure.” After Cameron and I had dinner at Foxtail (SBE’s new spot, French bistro style menu, Steak Frites are bomb), I hit up Plain Pat (whattup Cudi) and was like “yo, can you find out if Kanye is really performing at Area tonight cuz I am not trying to go there unless it’s true.” He hit me back like “something’s going on cuz I had to send performance tracks to DJ Reflex.” Cameron and I said “fuck it” and we rolled since it was right down the street. It was madness outside, luckily my homey Julius from Bolthouse was working the door and he quickly let us in. Ran into Don C. so I knew Ye was in the building. He told me he was gonna perform and that I should stick around. Ran into the dudes from Far East Movement, DJ Skee, this girl Olivia who I hadn’t seen since middle school, Jason from Alliance Talent, Tick and Jamie from Warners, DJ Splyce and some other people I know I’m forgetting. At like 1:10 Common came outta nowhere and did two songs. Then Kanye came out to “Flashing Lights” and did “Stronger”, “Good Life” and “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.” Shit was off the meat hook.
Sometimes I hate living in LA. But nights like this make me so happy.
I can’t help but think they didn’t listen to 100 MILES AND RUNNING, seeing they are from Maryland.
According to URB.com:
There’s another footwear line on the scene and it’s gonna be huge. So serious. 100 Styles and Running manages to combine comfort and quality using concepts/processes you won’t see with other lines, all without sacrificing an ounce of style.
This afternoon, I had the pleasure of meeting Ric Salazar aka Erth1 (helpin represent the line) and Evan Birenbaum (one of the founders). Aside from the fact that they’re incredibly down to earth and chill, the shoes were niccce (yes, totally worthy of the extra letters). Style+Quality is possible people, check it:
- Premium Washable/Treated Nubuck Leather (Yes, you can throw them in the washer and dryer if needed)
- Cutting-Edge Premium Waterproof Suede (Wear in the rain and watch the water bead off)
- Premium Full Grain Leathers and Materials (No short-cuts here)
- Pig Leather Lining, Custom Molded Sock Liner w/ “PRS – Pod Reaction System” Technology for added comfort (Comfort is priority)
- Laser Logo Detail on sockliner and tongue (Details, Details.)
- High Abrasion Rubber Cup Sole w/ Herringbone Tread (Extremely Durable)
- Wax Laces (For added protection)
- Classics styles and colors (For the office or club, gallery or shopping)
The line currently offers three styles for Spring/Summer08: The Abbot, The Colston and The Dylon- all versatile to fit your lifestyle, whatever it may be. You can find 100 Styles and Running at boutiques such as Bodega, Ubiq, American Rag, PHLI, True, Sportie LA, and American Rag.

According to NahRight.com:
The Roots have decided to axe their initial first single from Rising Down.
From Okayplayer:
We told you a few weeks ago that “Birthday Girl” could easily get dropped off of Rising Down. We received word over the weekend that the song is now the International Single and will be an iTunes exclusive. It will not appear on the North American release.
That’s pretty interesting. I understand the new single might be Rising Up which features two verses from Black Thought, one from Wale and a Chrisette Michele hook.

Crafty veteran meets brash newcomer. It’s a timeless cinematic formula, but SCION AV has done it a little differently this time. 45 King, producer of “Hard Knock Life,” “Stan” and dozen other hip hop classics, plays the role of the old-school champ, dropping four jewels from his bottomless stash of beats. The youngsters are represented by man-of-the-moment Wale, crowd controller Pase Rock and 4th Pyramid, with In Flagranti, Eli Escobar, DJ Ayres and Sammy Bananas doing remix duty. Peep the plot:
DC native Wale, fresh off sessions with Ronson and Kanye, is a natural to bless a downtempo 45 King special. “Roof” lays a bossa guitar on a menacing bass and 90 BPM drums as Wale manages to fit both Manute Bol and Luc Longley into his sinuous street-level rap. The Rub’s DJ Ayres takes his 111 BPM remix of “Roof” straight to the party, disco style, with live bass, synth snares and plenty of cowbell.
“Strings” is really the only appropriate name for this cello-strewn 100 BPM beat, but don’t expect Beethoven. The trademark 45 King kick and snare are in effect, and Wale’s lovesick lyrics skate the rails and ledges effortlessly. The boys of In Flagranti aren’t having any of this love business, though. They like it dirty. At a blistering 126 BPM, their “Strings” remix spits metal guitar and hi-hat shreds over a sawtooth bass line.
Def Jux survivor and T-Dot repper 4th Pyramid takes a track that Grand Puba would’ve loved and turns it out on “P-Y-R-A-M-I-D.” 45 King’s horn-filled bouncy 115 BPM groove is a throwback, but it seems like Sammy Bananas didn’t get the memo. His “P-Y-R-A-M-I-D” remix slams the tempo to 123 BPM and burps rude bass and bits of pitched vocals for a thoroughly 2008 vibe.
You can put down the dictionary, the definition of “anthem” is 45 King’s “900 Number.” The ageless roof-raiser that cleared DJ Kool’s throat gets twin 2k8 reworks, with Pase Rock showing the party people how it’s done on the mic over the original 107 BPM beat (try to follow his head-spinning song references) and NYC veterano Eli Escobar coming with a jacking 123 BPM remix that slices the signature sax line over a crunchy electro bass.
