BLIND I SAYS GO! MARCH 2010

It’s March already! Truthfully I couldn’t be happier…the outlook on this year is bright, there’s a ton of work being done so the results are sure to be beautiful, and the phrase Blind I Says GO! has never meant so much as it does right now. You wake up one day, decide to start dreaming and just start DOING. I used to sit back with my philosophical thoughts and say like Kanye did in the chorus to Common’s “The Corner” – I wish I could GIVE you this feeling…but alas this platform that we’ve created of outstanding musical compilations has given me a medium by which I can hopefully inspire our listeners to get up and GO! because thinking is overrated! Ha! With all that being said, I’ve compiled what I’ll honestly say is my favorite – if not Top 5 – Blind I Says GO! compilations, and trust, I now have 42 in total to choose from! Everything flows, everything’s masterful, everything should give you the steam you need to power your engine. So F*CK a groundhog, we’re starting Springtime right now. Ready….set….GO!

CONSEQUENCE – WHATEVER U WANT (G.O.O.D. MUSIC REMIX)

The G.O.O.D. music fam drops a remix to Consequence‘s ‘Whatever U Want” single, featuring Kanye West, Common, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, and John Legend. Damn G what about GLC and Really Doe? Salty. Either way, it’s a nice simple little remix…nothing to it really, although the collaboration alone is really the promo vehicle for this joint. Guess when you get to a certain level in music you can drop whatever you want (no pun intended). Indulge!

RECAP: G.O.O.D. MUSIC X RSVP GALLERY X SPRITE GREEN 9/18

Last night Chicago was shut down by a classic event put together by my homies Marc Moran, Virgil Abloh, and Don C of the newly-opened RSVP Gallery & Sprite Green here in Chicago. They, in connection with and G.O.O.D. Music, created a pop-up installation in Millennium Park that was free to the public, free liq, and performances from J. Ivy, Really Doe, Big Sean, GLC, Consequence, Mr.Hudson, Kid Cudi, and Common! Even new G.O.O.D. Beats addition Don Cannon came through to bless the stage. It was a dope event and definitely one of the top ones I’ve been to in Chicago (funny how my top 2 both involved Common, he’s in my Top 3 MCs ever of all time!). The homie Andrew from FSD got some dope footage right in front of the stage of Cudi’s set and Common’s set, so check that out, and check out the pics of RSVP Gallery. GO!

The RSVP decor is taken from The RSVP Private Collection of works from artists including Mark Newson, Stephen Sprouse, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Kaws and NoPattern. RSVP offers pieces from premium brands including Kaikai Kiki, Ambush, Dee & Ricky, Super, PLAY Comme des Garcons, Rizzoli, Original Fake, G-Shock, Incase and Boxed Water. RSVP also has a selection of rare, original, vintage items from Louis Vuitton, Chanel, A Bathing Ape, Nike and Levi Strauss & Co.
