This dropped on the web a week ago, cheap forgot to blog it up –
adidas Originals showcase an extended version to their star-studded “The Street Where Originality Lives” video. The video was part of a large-scale campaign from the German sportswear brand as it features a ton of familiar names including David Beckham, DJ Neil Armstrong, Jeremy Scott, Mark the Cobra Snake, Mr. Hudson, Noel Gallagher and Snoop Dogg among others.

I was unsure what to expect when me and Sky arrived… and even afterwards I’m still pretty dumbfounded.
Built from the ideas of some key creative minds in particular TADIROCK, this MADE was a space created for the sheer point of CREATING . Creating Art, Creating a message, Creating greatness.
Much like Andy Warhol’s Factory in NYC from the 60’s , this is a place that was built for artists from all around the world to come together and make dreams come true.
A better way to explain it, would be to let the People of Made do the talking –
From their blog – MADE an inspiring place where creative minds from different fields come together. a living platform where they create a vision of something extraordinary and bring it to life.
This space has only been open for about 2 months, and Phil G and Nico Zeh gave us the grand tour .
The aesthetic and functionality of the space as described in the video above are amazing. They actually modelled the foyer entrance after one of my fav movies of all timeStar Wars . A lot of white , boxlike modular walls…
BUT , what catches the eye 1st is the CRAZY CRAZY LIGHTING SYSTEM.
This lighting system is patented, the 1st of its kind. THey wanted to create a lighting system where you could control the mode thru color, a lighting system where a photographer could have 24 hour daylight and shoot with no shadows, and this system is what they came up with.
You can LITERALLY CHANGE EACH light to a different color, or change sections of it, or put them on a loop, all from ONE central control. simply Amazing.
Peep the video below as they let me mess around with the shine.
The space itself, is malleable. Like how Bruce Lee tells his student to “Be Like Water, so is this space.
The walls are movable, the furniture, even the bar can be moved around to suit your creative needs.
The 1st Art installation created and shown at this space was this snowglobe project by Sneaker connoisseur Yoske Nishiumi and photographer Alex Flach, who put their heads together to come up with this extraordinary vision.
A big part of this project, was that the viewer would end up becoming part of the art piece, and Myself and Sky Gellatly got to do just that.
The guys at MADE ended up interviewing myself and sky, picking our brains about the space, about possible ideas that I have that I would like to have come to frution.
Who knows, you guys might see an upcoming blog about the Extraordinary thing I plan to Make in Berlin….

The party as you can imagine was great as shown in the last bloggy blog.
Good Food, interesting people, and I can vouch for the good music.
There was Stuff for all ages – Facepainting for the “kids”, Fotomat and even Balloons ;) Yeah ok. So what. I got convinced to get facepainted on my neck. shut up.
As much fun as the party was, the experience of berlin and chillin in this historic cultural town was even better…
From the moment we got on the plane it was gonna be a good trip. My manager and I got upgraded from coach to First Class Fo FREEZY because Coach got oversold. Its like when racism works in your favor.
1st class is definitely nice… not worth it if I actually had to pay for it, but compared to coach, its another world ;)
The day the block party was supposed to happen got rained out unfortunately, so we turned it into a tourist day. With our friend and fellow Hypebeast blogger Artoo, Phil G from Soto/MADE, and Thomas and Stephan, we got to see the city thru the eyes of the locals.
Kerin Cycle Culture Cafe was an early stop on the West Berlin Side for some coffee…
A quick stop at one of the local record shops – where I of course spent money I shouldn’t …
AND OntoTHE BERLIN WALL
I got my passport Stamped ;) Dork.
Finally, we attempted to check out the new Damien Hirst Show at the museum, but missed it by half an hour. my fault for spending so much time at the record store :( BUT, we did get to see some other small pieces… Some dude name warhol for example ;)
The night before we hit up a spot called BAR 25 by the River that is known for being an all weekend party affair. Beautiful Spot with amazin food…
At this spot, I had the most excellent Weiner Snitzel . Breaded veal I believe. Delicious. and Very German. Like Sprockets.
All of this was great ;) Berlin is a beautiful town, but our last stop there was a place called the MADE creative space, and that was the HIGHLIGHT. That my friends, will be for tomorrows blog….

Here I am, viagra one foot in the old East Berlin, one in the west.
It is a beautiful town and I will recapping my shenanigans here for the rest of this week, as I got to see and do quite a bit.
However, we’ll start with the reason I was out there in the 1st place – The No 74 Block Party! Initially meant to be on May 15th, we had to move it to the 16th due to Rain, BUT the weather gods shined their lights on us and made it a great day regardless….
On this street Torstrasse, a bunch of stores got together and threw a honest to goodness Block Party, Flying myself in alongside Berlins own modselektor . Folk of all types came thru, from kiddies to young hipsters, to grandmamas and papas.
A bunch of brands were present and accounted for – Pauls Boutique, Soto, UndPlus Collabroom, Oh Lalaaa and Uslu Airlines.
Overall it was an amazing event, as captured here by Highsnobiety –
The Party got CARRAZY when Modselktor got on, and ended with a massive Pillow / Feather Fight…
AND THEN… AFTER THE SHOW it’s the AFTERPARTY….
Well. In this case, it was a PRE PARTY, as the party was moved to the next day and the afterparty stayed the same on May 15th.
Thrown by Soto and Highsnobiety at this spot called weekend which was on the 15th floor of a buildin…
Good times were had by all ;) More pics and updates to come

THIS SATURDAY THE 2010 AdiCup 1:00pm – 8:00pm Location: Pier 40 – West Street @ W. Houston Street New York, NY View Map
Now, for those who have been wit me for a minute, I’ve been involved with Fanatic, Now called Adicup for quite some time now. This is one of my FAVORITE GIGS to do, as I end up djing for a looooong time and get to play all types of music, While, my friends like Sky Gellatly play some FUTBOOOOOLLLL!! See, look how happy he and his soccer buddies look.
YOU TOO can join in on the fun and festivities!! ALL FOR FREE! This year we are returning to where it all started, at pier 40
Here is some background for those that don’t know –
adidas celebrates 2010 FIFA World CupTM with a global football tourney, honoring its long-lived New York City tradition. To commemorate the 2010 FIFA World CupTM, adidas’ 9th annual FANATIC soccer tournament in New York City is “going global” with a new name – adiCup, 2010 FIFA World CupTM edition. A record 28 teams will compete Saturday, May 22nd on the main field at New York’s Pier 40, where the event first began eight years ago.
Hosted by adidas, FANATIC was created in 2002 as an immersive experience of soccer and community in New York. adidas sought out an eclectic mix of ‘football’ enthusiasts; an assortment of teams made up of originative activators in the creative scene. From music and media to fashion and hospitality, those involved were hand picked to re-engage the culture in downtown New York with the sport of soccer. Since its inception, FANATIC has grown with every passing year, drawing an abundance of teams vying to compete, and crowds of up to 1,500 soccer ‘fanatics’ and counting. In addition, the tournament was interpreted on a global scale in select cities every four years during FIFA World CupTM, and adiCup was born.
With higher stakes than ever, adiCup 2010 promises to entertain. The coveted NYC team slots have been filled with a record 28 crews, each consisting of eight players as opposed to six players in years past. With a wider playing field, returning teams such as Chinatown Soccer Club, United Bamboo, Freeman’s Sporting Club, Opening Ceremony, Paper Shredders and Vice F.C. will have the opportunity at some fresh faces, like newcomers ACE+CO, EVR (East Village Radio), V Magazine and The Standard F.C.
In true FANATIC form, Brother Jimmy’s BBQ will cater to the masses while DJ Neil Armstrong, former tour DJ of Jay Z, will keep the crowd going with as fresh a set as ever for what promises to be the largest audience to date. Also, as the UEFA Champion’s LeagueTM finale takes place on the same day, adidas will screen the game live for fans in attendance.
This tournament has gone WORLDWIDE, and four teams from NYC, Tokyo, Berlin and London will go at it IN Berlin . The Grand Prize winning team of the adiCup 2010 World Final in Germany will be flown to South Africa to attend the 2010 FIFA World CupTM final game on July 11, 2010, courtesy of adidas. DANG.
So, come cheer on your favorite folk, including my manager SKY (good luck dude) this saturday at the adicup!

Fellow Hypebeast blogger ARTOO has been making sure Sky Gellatly and myself don’t get lost out here.
Among his many interests that make him interesting is his love for berlin, and his love for track bikes and the riding culture.
The pic above is a pic of ARTOO in the red and black lumberjack – with a hat to match. Below is one of his many rides.
He got me thinking that especially since I have a running injury, this summer I should take up biking.
As usual, the universe provides when its supposed to be, this time manifested with a Special EDITIONPEPSI X REPUBLIC bike – COURTESY of the fine FOLK at Team Epiphany.
They put together a little campaign , making about 20 bikes for pepsi using the fine Republic Bike company, and I was one of the fortunate few blessed with one of these.
Built around the “Aristotle”, this is a singlepeed & a fixed gear, with one of those fancy shmancy flip flop hubs, complete with pepsi branding and color schemes.
Now before you elitest fixed gear folk get your pink scarves all in a bunch, I KNOW, I got to get the reflectors off. ;) Just playing. I love hipsters…. Not really ;)
Team Epiphany, thank y’all for the bike. If you see me on the road, clear the way, cause I probably won’t be able to stop, I never rode a fixy before.
You see, I usually just Hop on my 98 dirtbike… A poser I am not ;)
Happy biking out there boys and girls, see you on the rode this summer…

The Lineup that G Bo the Pro had representing for him was AMAZING.

Soulsessions is one of the still Existing DOPE parties in LA, ailment in the same vein as the historic rootdown and Do Over, where good music and good vibes is the top priority.
All in all I would say it was a good nite ;) A average normal crowd of 400 doubled to about 800 to party with me for my inaugural LA set on this last west coast run…
I hit them with a modified “Originals set” – being on a west coast “TOUR” – made me doing an “ALL VINYL SET difficult, and when I do a real Originals set, best believe its all vinyl. This time around I had to use some mp3’s so I wouldn’t get hit with the extra luggage / hurt my back syndrome.
It’s Been QUITE Some time since I’ve released a New Podcast, being on the road makes it very difficult to record.
Lucky for me and you and your cousin too, The soul Sessions guys were recording the set – So here it is for your listening pleasure –
You will here some familiar stuff of course – A lot of these people want me to do stuff I do on my MIXTAPES, so there are some signature songs and transitions I drop.
BUT – I also do some stuff I’ve never done before (preview to the next “original” PERHAPS??? – shhhhh)
Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy it as much as the crowd in LA did .
Peace to The Soul Sessions crew – Mitch, Jay villinueva, Bernie, DJ Plann B, Inka one for rockin wit me – ANYONE ELSE I MISSED!

A great time was had in the SD as always , getting to see Kuttin Kandi and enjoy the environment with Emily. Even the Hotel Room at the THE PEARL was crazy, with everyone having its own beta fish, and the personalization of a welcome letter to greet us when we got in – its all about the details…
The whole event was captured by the fine folk at MAHFIA.com.
They Also put together a quick interview to make sure y’all get the scoop on how this all came together…

Well if you are a fan of my mixtapes it should.
Although I get a LOT of props for what I do, treatment I am nowhere near the innovator (although I do put my own twitst on an old favorite if I do say so myself ;))
I got a lot of my blending style from listening to Mixtapes that were ON ACTUAL CASSETTES – Ones in particular made by the Duo of G-Bo the Pro and Rei Double R.
i was influenced SO much by them , I actually gave them a shoutout on one of my earliest Mixtapes – Sweeet .
Sweeet . The 1st of Neil’s Lovey Dovey Mixtapes that have set a standard for good music to cupcake too.

HOT MESS, MAY 7th EDITION
featuring DJ NEIL ARMSTRONG
RESIDENT DJs – PHILADELPHYINZ (DJ APT ONE + SKINNY FRIEDMAN)

Silk City – 5th and Spring Garden
$5 Before 11PM//$10 After $2 High Life All Night
DOOR BY LEXIE
Philadelphyinz is very proud to present an evening with one of the world’s premier DJ talents, and an all-around amazing individual – DJ NEIL ARMSTRONG.
It all goes down at Hot Mess at Silk City, First Friday, May 7th.
++++++++++ From the words of DJ Apt One, a longtime Friend AND DJ – “If you care to read about Neil’s laundry list of incredible accomplishments like being Jay-Z’s tour DJ or rocking it at the NBA All-Star game in front of 100,000 people, scroll down, but let me just tell you that Neil is not only an amazing DJ but also one of the foremost influences on me as a DJ.
When I was in my late teens, I was lucky enough to play a number of shows with Neil and learn the tricks of the party rocking trade from one of the masters. A lot of what I do comes directly as a result of Neil’s influence and his willingness to stay in touch with a young, up-and-coming DJ like I was and impart his wisdom and positivity about music. Even to this day, globetrotting with Jay-Z, playing at Obama’s inauguration and more, he’s still got time to chop it up with me about music and the game.
Neil spends most of his gigs rocking places like Madison Square Garden, Glastonbury in front of tens, sometimes hundreds of thousands of people – this is a very RARE opportunity to see one of the masters in an intimate environment at Silk City, so make sure to mark your calendar and join us at Silk on May 7th.

Ughh, physician on my last little world wurlwind Run, I made a stopover in Stockholm sweden. 1st Time out here rocking solo actually. But not my 1st time here.
The 1st Time I was here in Sweden was with Jay-z and the Roc Boys Band.
In fact, my time here was the 1st Blog Post I ever made when I used to have this tour blog up for LTD Magazine. Peep myself, with Members of the Horn Section site seeing in the Old City Below.
Now of course, this brought back many a memory for me.
If ya’ll been paying attention to my recent journeys, I actually missed doing the last tour with Jay as my schedule went from working with the 3 stripes of the Blueprint, to the Three Stripes of Adidas. I’m not really sure if I ever will go on tour again to be honest, you know when its time for the kid to leave the parents nest, your success is when you make your own path, when you find your own home.
I did a lot of travelling when I was on tour, and did many significant groundbreaking events . Being the First Hip Hop Representative on the 1’s and 2’s to celebrate the inauguration of A U.S. President. Backing up Jay for tons of Rock Festivals all over europe, helping him hold down the headline spot at the Glastonbury Festival, the 1st Time A Hip Hop Act ever did that…
I actually DO NOT miss a lot of it. The Touring life… It’s a hectic one. Every nite you sleep in a different bed. You live your life on buses and airplanes, and trains. You are gone from the place you are visiting before you even get there . It seems glamourous, but that lifestyle is meant for a strong chosen few, not everyone is meant to handle it.
You leave your friends and your family behind, constantly surrounded by unfamiliar faces with the exception for the people that are on the road with you. So the People you travel with… they become your family. The Roc Boys, they became my family, for better and for worse ;) .
Now , the Roc boys have gone through some personnel changes throughout my time with Jay – mostly the Horn section changes, and now my man Young GURU is on the 1’s and 2’s . The last time we were on tour, this was the lineup, and mostly its stayed the same –
Out of everything on tour I could miss, chillin with the roc boys on the top of that short list.
Now don’t get it twisted. I was The Asian Dude with a bunch of black Folk on tour… so best believe I got a lot of heckling. But its like a tour of duty when you go to war I guess… You go through a shared experience that no one else has, you end up making brothers.
When we made a stop in Indiana last month, I did an afterparty for one of the concerts, and for the 1st time in a while I got to see the Roc Boys,and it was like I said above… A family Reunion ….
When we got together, it was all pounds and smiles… A lot of, “we miss you brother neil”, and I mos Definitely missed them… even after all the crap they would give me ;)
The Roc Boys ARE : Omar Edwards – Musical Director / Keys Shaun Carrington – Guitar Tony “Chicago” Russell – Bass Tony Royster Jr – Drums Brett Baker – Percussion Jeff Bradshaw – Trombone Aaron Goode – Trombone (current) Lamont Caldwell – Sax Monty Reynolds – Keys Lee Hogans – Trumpet Matt Cappy – Trumpet (current) YOUNG GURU – DJ
And me ;) Yours truly, gets to say he Rocked with the Best. Here below are some of our greatest hits ;)
The Roc boys on the way to Nigeria – on the G4 ;)
Roc Boys at the All Points West Festival
Roc Boys at the Inauguration of President Obama
Roc Boys Horns at Electric Lady Studios
Hazing the Roc Boys
Me And Matt Cappy At Wimbledon
The Roc boys and Jay are about to head out on tour again soon. Right now they are gettin ready to tear down COCHELLA . Myself… well my own wings are spread now… and I got a bit of touring to do of my own ;) CALIFORNIA AND HAWAII… HERE I COME.
Roc Boys. Salute .
