I saw a shorter clip of Jay performing “Wonderwall” but I didn’t catch “99 Problems” till just now. I love how the band goes into AC/DC “Back In Black” for the 2nd verse. Sounds great. Most people don’t know this but Wale actually played Glastonbury in 2007. He flew there for one day and got his bag confiscated by airport police in Dulles on his way to LDN. Then at the festival, it was torrential rain and mud, and he killed his black spizikes. However, judging by the footage below, you would never know it!
And do people even remember that Wale performed at the VMA’s last year?
And speaking of VMA’s, remember Chris Brown’s performance? Right before Wale?

Few months back Colin dropped a remix/video for “Flashing Lights” that was really fire. Great follow up here. Check for Colin Munroe x Wale collabo coming soon.
Greg was supposed to let me know when he was leaking this but I guess he forgot, so I had to spot it over at 2DopeBoyz. Anyway, hot record right here. As soon as I can leak the one without Greg on it, you will have it.

I saw this in person in Ye’s dressing room last week after the final GITD Tour stop at Foxwoods Casino and I did a triple take. The bag is truly amazing. I was told by an LV saleswoman today that you can order custom pieces from LV, they just take a year and start at $3,000. Hey, if you got it flaunt it right?
Most of us can’t but if you wanna rock that Damier Azure print without breaking the bank, spring for the keychain ($165) or the belt ($385). I know some of yall spend in that range for kicks but I’d pass on a pair of Jordan IV retros (the countdown pack ones pale in comparison to the ones from 1999) and spring for the belt. You can wear it regularly without worrying about it getting dirty, scuffed or wrinkled and there’s little is doesn’t go with.
Saw this trailer before Pineapple Express last night, looks really funny. Favorite line: “I love you so much it’s retarded.”

Pitchfork: “Waters of Nazareth” and “D.A.N.C.E.” were remixed by so many people. Do you ever listen to remixes of yourselves?
Xavier: Yeah, we do.
Pitchfork: What are your favorites?
Xavier: For “D.A.N.C.E.” it was Wale. He’s a rapper from Washington, D.C., and he did the best thing that happened to this track. We are sure that if he would release it, it would be a hundred times bigger than our song and we are just pushing him to release it. I hope he’s going to release it one day. We love this song because for us it sounds like Will Smith, you know? Like, when we got this song we loaded the Will Smith video on YouTube [for] “Getting Jiggy With It”. We are just putting that track on top of the video. It’s perfect. It’s like a hit, you know? We were dancing behind our table looking at the video. It’s really cool. He’s a good rapper.
