Spotted over on Faux Fur and Soccer Shirt, N.E.R.D. got together with legendary hardcore punk / reggae / jazz fusion / thrash band Bad Brains and tore apart Spaz.

Bad Brains, the band that inspired the likes of Beastie Boys (who picked their name to match the initials of Bad Brains), Lil Jon, Henry Rollins, The Smashing Pumpkins, Mos Def, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime and even skater Buckey Lasek comes in at #99 on VH1’s top 100 band of All-Time.

Ever since N.E.R.D. got down with Converse, they’ve been killing live shows left and right.
