i got my hands on a chester french joint that nobody really has yet, i believe. i’m pretty sure i heard it live when i went to see them and N*E*R*D last march over easter break, but this is the first CD quality version i’ve seen of it. i threw it around the net a few months back, but that was before the crazy buzz that they got after their video got serious rotation on all those MTV channels.

i really wish i was aware of these dudes while they were at harvard, i so would have gone to all their on-campus shows.

no download link, unfortunately. i’m tryna see their album sell, you know?

it’s a bit late, but me and the homies hit up commonwealth dc this past friday for an intense N*E*R*D album listening session. they played the entire thing, and then threw some oldies but goodies in there too. shout out to everybody who came through, including that dude dizzy, who went out of his way to get me a heineken! ice cold like andre 3 stacks was talking about in “hey ya!“ good grief. talk about dmv hospitality. he even said he reads the blog, so at least we got one celebrity reader.

now, i know we aren’t celebs or anything, but with keba and her super touch screen sony digicam, and sean’s HUGE camera that i’m sure the cameramen on “the real world” use, we set it up so that everybody there thought we were important. truth be told, sean and my man austin were shooting a low budget music video around the area, and they just so happened to be in the area. sean was like, “let’s just start shooting,” and you know me. down for whatever. so we went with it. we ran into the biggest N*E*R*D fan i’ve ever met in my life (she kept her ticket stubs from N*E*R*D concerts dating back to like ‘04 in her wallet. she wins by default). she came from bristol, VA (if i remember correctly) to hear that entire album. she also came SOLO! i had to dap her up for that. on camera. so me and sean talked to her for like a good 5 minutes and came out with some hilarious footage that will be on the site soon.

everybody was watching us like we were famous, and it was great. anyway, enjoy the pics below, courtesy of young keba.

and those gourmet joints are the wettest sneakers out. contrary to popular belief, i only have three pairs of shoes, and i don’t go out the house partially because of that reason. somebody bless me with a goodwill/salvation army drop. immediately.
