UNIVERSAL MIND CONTROL...



The highly anticipated new album from Common, Universal Mind Control, dropped yesterday and I have to say I'm a little underwhelmed. There are a few burners on there (including the singles "Announcement" & "Universal Mind Control") but the album as a whole doesn't stand as tall as previous releases. Maybe I just need to give it a little more time to marinate?

MONEY...

New video from Squeak E. Clean (Dj/producer/composer Sam Spiegel, brother of director Spike Jonze) & Dj Zegon (Dj/producer/professional skateboarder Ze Gonzales), collectively known as N.A.S.A.

This is "Money" featuring David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge, and Z-Trip. The video is the first from the duo's forthcoming 2009 debut The Spirit of Apollo which features cameos from EVERY ARTIST KNOWN TO MAN. It should be one crazy mix.
