Common - Universal Mind Control [Original Video]

Here's the original (and unreleased) version of Common's video for Universal Mind Control...you know, before Hype Williams took control and put all those strange animated robots in it and made Common act weird.

[NEW] Clipse - "I'm Good" (ft.Pharrell)

Here’s the official single from the Clipse’ third album Til The Casket Drops, which is coming in September. I know the streets are fiending for some of that new Clipse crack. This one is produced by the Neptunes and is the first of 2 official singles coming this week. Best believe you'll be able to get the second one right here too.

FUN FACT: I will be interviewing the Clipse later this afternoon. And chilling at their video shoot on Saturday. And attending their concert Saturday night. You can be jealous now.

Pharrell vs. McDonald's.

On a connecting flight home from Malaysia, Skateboard P stopped in Paris, France. It's 6am and Pharrell is hungry, so he tries anything to get McDonald's to open up early and serve him some breakfast. Maybe a little song and dance will do the trick. Or maybe not...

Spotted at Mario's.

Simply Sade.

As the night begins to settle, it's time slow down a bit, here on the Late Night edition of the Notorious B.L.O.G. Relax and unwind, as we turn the lights down, and the sexiness up with some lover's rock from sultry songtress, Ms. Sade Adu. Here's an oldie but goodie from the original Smooth Operator herself, remixed by the Neptunes. Sway to the subtle smoothness that is Sade. If you're not a fan of this woman, there is something seriously wrong with your ear drums.

Pharrell Interview w/ Nylon TV

Go behind the scenes with Skateboard P at his Nylon mag photo shoot, as he talks about music, his fashion sense and his outlook on life.

Lupe Fiasco ft. Pharrell, Q-Tip, and Sarah Green - "Paris, Tokyo" (Remix)

One of the best songs on Lupe's, The Cool, gets a facelift. The original had a very Tribe-ish feel to it, so it was only right to get Q-Tip to bless it.

Q-Tip>>>Lupe>>>Sarah Green>>>Pharrell.

Teaser Video: Common - "Universal Mind Control"

Teaser video for Common's new single (which the people seem to have mixed emotions about. I, for one, am a fan of the song). Directed by Hype Williams. Yeah, that HYPE Williams. This video looks like it's on some 'old robotic, futuristic, George Jetson, crazy shit." (c) Craig Mack.

Official video coming soon.

[VIDEO] Common Feat. Pharrell - "Announcement"

Off his new album, Invincible Summer, dropping this fall. This song is dope. Common returns to his lyrical-self and goes heavy on the word play that we Used to Love H.I.M. for back in the day. I also love the Biggie references and tribute lines to the Notorious. Good shit, Lonnie.

[VIDEO] N.E.R.D. - "Spazz"

This is the second video from their album Seeing Sounds. You might recognize the song from the latest Zune ads with all the record covers. Yeah, that one.

Pharrell Is Buying New Skin.

Seriously. Pharrell going to purchase new skin to cover up his tattoos. Skateboard P revealed this week to Brittish Vogue that his tattoos no longer fit his lifestyle and so he is trying a revolutionary new tattoo removal procedure, which involves applying replicated skin over old body art. Sounds like some Silence of the Lambs shit to me...It puts the lotion if the basket.

"It's basically like getting a skin graft, but you're not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you," he explained. "First you have to give them a sample of your skin, which they then replicate. Once that's been done, they sew it on - and it's seamless."

Sounds disgusting, and expensive. That's because it is.

"It's going to be pricey, but worth it," he says. "I got fire on my arms! I'm a grown man!"

Why wouldn't he just get laser removal like all those frat boys who got ugly tribal tats, dumb white girls who got chinese lettering that actually says "Sweet & Sour Pork" or those chicken heads who tattooed the name of their baby's daddy(s) on their titties?

[NEW] Common feat. Pharrell - "Announcement"

Another collab between Common and Pharrell. This may or may not be on Common's new album which may or may not still be called Invincible Summer because it's not coming out in the fall. Maybe.

Common drops a dope first verse out the gate, mad lyrical and heavy on the word play that we used to remember Comm for circa 1994. I also like the mad Biggie references in the song. You can't beat that with a bat.

Pharrell Pushes Kid Off Stage

This is funny...doesn't look vicious or anything, I think Pharrell was playing with dude. But seriously, who the hell just jumps on stage with the artist during a performance? He's lucky he didn't get dropped kicked by security.

This is that automatic. Here it is.. the CD quality, dirty version with no DJ tags of Common's new single featuring Pharrell. Bump this in the club. Turn up your radios. Move those behinds.

[NEW] Common feat. Pharrell - "Universal Mind Control"

This premiered yesterday on Power 106 in Los Angeles, courtesy of DJ Skee and DJ Reflex. This is the first leak of Common's upcoming album, Invincible Summer which drops this year. Common teamed up with Skateboard P to drop this old school, Afrika Bamabataa inspired track. It's on some electro-funk hip-hop...perfect summer music.

This was ripped from the radio, so it has the DJ tags on it, but it's still listenable.

Enjoy.
