This kind of fits in where I am at right now. Dizzy of a few caipirinhas and brews. Let me explain...
We have some sort of carnival here in Berlin with Hipsters/Hippies and other Germans trying to dance salsa while getting drunk. I live right on that street and had enough for now. Turn this up muthaf....

Video: Holder And Friends // Music By Naeem Oba

I love this song and now it`s been properly used in my opinion.
Back in the days when I used to hop on the skateboard a lot I saw this video by the company Real and it had a part with like the best skateboard pros riding the streets of L.A. or S.F. and Good Music by The Roots was part of the soundtrack. That was like the coolest shit ever. This gets close, though I don`t even have a bike at the moment. SoLo, I need my bike. Please help me, brother.

Video: The Roots - Dear God 2.0

Now I saw this a couple of days ago, but somehow ignored the play button. We posted numerous songs off the new The Roots album (just search for it on the top left of the screen) and after listening to "How I Got Over" for so many times now I have to say it`s very radio friendly, but every single song is good.
The video is süper nice, too. Directed by Jason Goldwatch.

Audio: The Roots - Walk Alone feat. Dice Raw, Truck North And P.O.R.N. // Mp3

The Album is out tomorrow (USA) or on the 2nd of Juli over here in Europe. Today I found another leak on dallaspenn.
I also saw the album leak yesterday, which is a pitty, but I guess the album is strong enough to compensate that. Plus playing for Fallon and all the touring should have them in a comfortable position.
I feel sorry for Drake though...ehm..no.
Great song.

Audio: The Roots - The Fire (feat. John Legend) // Mp3

Ok I am back, bitches. Had to take some time off.
First I want to post some Roots stuff. Now for some of you this might be too POP...well fuck you. The Roots don`t know how to make wack music, they don`t even know how to make decent music...it`s always THE SHIT.
John Legend doesn`t even sound like John Legend on this one, so why is that? Because he is with the best of the best. Can`t wait for the Blu features though.
Peace. More shit tomorrow.
