This Adidas spot is a perfect reason why I shouldn’t fast forward through commercials on my DVR. I don’t know why this commercial is so dope, but probably because this is the party that I’ve always had in my dreams. So far, I’ve counted cameos by David Beckham, Russell Simmons, Young Jeezy, Estelle, Kevin Garnett, Missy, RUN DMC, The Game, your momma, and probably more people than I can count. The track featured is “Beggin,” by Norwegian hip-hop duo Madcon, which uses a Frankie Valle sample, and is a nice song in its own right. Video for that song posted below. (Spotted at VK)

    This ad is one of my favorites this year. It also makes me made, because I’m thinking “I want to be at that party!!”

    Damn advertising…

    But seriously, good look on mentioning Madcon. I had no idea who the song was by and it was really bugging me.

    Actually it is not Madcon, it is the Pilooski edit of Franki Valli’s beggin’. Here is the original video:

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach

4.0/5

If it takes us a few listens to really get into the Gorillaz newest album. Can we blame ourselves?
We are forced fed music that is derivative of another. Pop music all sounds the same, with each artist essentially sounding like the one who came 3 months before them. When we hear something as creative and [...]

ALBUM REVIEW: Outputmessage – Autonomous

4.5/5

Washington, DC by way of Queens, NY electronic dance music producer Outputmessage is likely one of the more underrated EDM artists in the genre. The eight year veteran has received terrific acclaim both stateside and abroad for his musically dense but pop trending melodies awakening a sense of early 80s synth pop sounds. However, with [...]

Album Review: Sade – Soldier of Love

4.0/5

While not a masterpiece, in an era where the market has been deluged by a new female soul vanguard that angles increasingly towards pop, Sade remains regal, calm, collected and steadfast, and merely releases the standard bearer album to define the female expression in R & B for 2010.
Sade’s musical legacy lies in her ability [...]

Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
