The worst name for an album ever
2008-01-16 20:16:41

Remixed by DJ Special K,The Worst Remix, is a mash up of Jay-Z's American Gangster and a collection of unique all exclusive instrumentals by his partner in crime Rony A.

It's a blend of some very electro and mello beats. I can't imagine Jay rapping the same words over any of these beats but the blends are super tight.

 

The entire album is very percussion based and I'm not sure if that's much easier or much harder to do then match melodies and other instruments.

 

Overall, the Worst Remix is far from and adds legs to a dying album.

Celebrating its 100th year in the footwear game, Converse enlisted 100 artists to customize a pair of Chuck Taylor's by hand. 

Some of the usual suspects have designed shoes, along side a few lesser known names and our very own homie, Jeff Hamada. Other artists include including Rostarr (USA), Rinzen (USA), Hiroshi Fujiwara (Japan), Jeremyville (Australia), Colletivo Design (Brazil), Grandpeople (Norway), Supakitch (France) and UPSO (USA).

 

Converse has been a leader in the (RED) campaign, the global fund to fight AIDS.10% of the net wholesale price of these shoes goes to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Geneva, Switzerland). 

 

Shoes drop in June, more info at www.converse.com

The tide is high for Mama's spring collection
Wednesday March 26

Mama is one of our favorite female lines in and around the game and brands keep jumping in bed with Mama because they make collections that keep it real, for real chicks. Montana Paints, New Era, Adidas--the collaborations speak volumes.

 

The new lookbook shot in sunny SF makes us out on the east--in the cold--a bit jealous, but the new Cut-n-Sew collection makes up for it by giving us a warm feeling inside.

 

Check out the lookbook here, and head down to your favorite retailer ASAP.
