I held off on posting this for a few days b/c I saw that it was getting alot of love on the internets when it first dropped. But like many things on the internet, it dies after a few days (sometimes hours) of being posted somewhere. So by delaying its post here I hope to give this interview some longevity. Why would I do that? B/c in this video gives you some great insight to Jay-Z, Hip-hop’s roots, and why rap is not hip-hop. He’s got some dope kicks to grab your immediate attention. Plus in Part 2, Clark tells us about respecting your history and why you should make good decisions. Part 2 is after the jump. Much props to NHTVSN for the vids.
“Players do what they want to do, suckers do what they can.” - DJ Clark Kent
FRANCHISE EDIT: NHTVSN took down Part 2 of the interview. I heard they want to do a formal launch of it since not that many people knew Part 2 existed. I’ll post it when I get it.

I am really feeling the Air Yeezy’s. They are ugly, tall, and remind of Ripley’s shoes in Aliens but I kinda like them. Sorta like the feeling when I look at Penelope Cruz - she’s not really that cute but something about her makes her adorable. This is the Tinker Hatfield editions - you should know who he is already. The laser engraving on the strap was a dope touch. Thanks to SF for the heads-up!

UK only for now, no talk about availability in the US. But the idea is that you sms nike a picture that you want to make a shoe out of. And it will pick two colors and then make that shoe for you. Check out the video below.
My neighborhood in San Francisco is crazy with soccer this week because of the current EuroCup tournament. Every bar and restaurant in the Lower Haight is crowed with fans all around the clock. Well, the buzz is inescapable and has made a fan out of me. In that spirit I wanted to share this awesome Nike Ad that debuted several months ago but I wanted to make sure everyone gets to see it.

Sneakernews dropped the news that DJ Clark Kent (you should know who he is) is releasing with Nike the “112 pack”. 3M reflective material, Fluorescent Yellow Gum Soles, Elephant Print, Neon Laces - SICK! There is an Air Trainer and Air Force 1 in there too! Drops in the first week of July. July is going to be an expensive month. Click here for the pics.
For all my fellow sneaker heads, Format has put out some new wallpapers to show off to your coworkers how cool you are. You can stare at some dope designs of shoes you’ll never get to own - like me and the Tiffany Dunks. Props to SF for the info.
On a sidenote, Thanks to DFLO, Anthony, and Weston for holding Know the Ledge while I was in Belize. *turns into DJ Khaled* “We the Best! Who? We. We the best! We make mooooovieeeesss.”

Here is the first look at Nike’s 1 of 1 Air Yeezy’s. Very excited to see them on ‘Ye tomorrow night. (Krae, Shaun, and Jills - you ready?) And to add more bliss to my day, the Black 4’s (my first jordans ever) are coming out - most likely in July. This is going to be an expensive year.

Most of us have seen the Nike commercial with Saul Williams in the background. It was a topic of discussion in Vegas and on the nets, I heard people hating or questioning Saul now. I don’t know him or the music as well as my brothers do but overall he sounds like a solid dude with thought-provoking music. Saul had a response for the critics of the Nike spot and Grandgood was grand good enough to post it. The full, lengthy statment by Saul is after the jump. If you got any album links or rarities, post them in the comments.
A-Trak says “Yes” to Nike and “Yes and No” to Jigga.
Phone rings - Jay asks A-Trak to be his DJ on Tour. He says “No, thanks.” (Every DJ in the world thinks he’s insane.) Jay-Z says, “Will you help out with the musical direction?”. A-trak replies with “what else do I got going on?”. (Every DJ in the world now hates him with an erection.) See his blog post for the details after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »
