Just Blaze explains the disappearance of the classic remix...i was wondering the same thing!

Says former Guru publicist Dennis Paredes:

As Guru’s once former publicist, I send this email with pleasure and a deeper sentiment that can only be explained by the grinding of my teeth every time I think of the entire situation. Doo Wop is accompanied by T.O.N.Y. from Minneapolis on this very personal song, allowing Doo Wop to express another side of him that is rarely shown. I attest to the first few bars Doo Wop rhymes.
“I don’t claim to be the best judge of character, but fam I’m think I’m decent
When we first met, something told me you were a piece of shit
Frontin’ with that PEACE shit… Peace that, Peace this
Peace God, Peace Earth, Never Seen a 5%er….So evil and demonic
But to top it son walked around like he did beats on the chronic”

I was actually rolling around with Dj Spinna in Miami for WMC during the first altercation I had with Solar over the phone. That was only days before Miles from Breakestra warned me that dude was no good, but my main focus was GURU. Even with hurt and anger in my heart, it’ll remain to be the case. I thank Doo Wop for keeping it going. This is a situation that should never go slept on no matter how many new posts and features are out there. FUCK Solar!
Follow Doo Wop & T.O.N.Y. as we won’t let this situation pass over until justice is served.

Nike continues the hybrid tip as we see a new colorway in its Air Max 24-7 model. The kicks take on a familiar neon colorway with black and grey hue uppers. An Air Max 95 and 97 design makes up the silhouette while Air Max 2009 soles are transplanted as a finishing touch. Available now through select Nike retailers, including atmos Tokyo.

If there’s anyone who’s capable of articulating the substance and meaning of a great song, it’s Bob Power. In a promo for his upcoming course at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, the legendary engineer (A Tribe Called Quest, D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, De La Soul) and Adjuct Faculty Member of The Clive Davis Department of Record Music discusses the structure of the course while offering sage wisdom about the nature and creation of great music.

While the 574 hasn’t enjoyed the same level of high-profile collaborations as some of its more younger brothers such as the 576 and 1500, nevertheless the shoe is easily one of New Balance’s most popular models through the general population. A new collection for this season features a pack of 3M-infused designs. The use of 3M is subtle seen most notably on the “N” logo. Available at select retailers this month.

You already know that this is going to be hot...long live Illadeph's finest!
