On August 31st Nike is holding a world wide running event that spans 25 cities. Nike + Human Race  will be celebrating sport and music all with the intention of raising awareness and money and giving something back.  Some of the charitable partners for this include the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the WWF and the UN refugee agency ninemillion.org (these guys have actually done a lot for children through soccer).

The 10k run will begin in Taipei and end in Los Angeles.  At the end of the Los Angeles leg, Kanye west will perform. Other notable artists that will be performing include Moby in London, All-American Rejects in New York, Fall Out Boy in Chicago, Kelly Rowland in Paris, The Pinker Tones in Madrid, Turkish pop sensation Kenan Dogulu in Istanbul, the Fantastic Four in Munich, Beijing-based singing duo Yu Quan in Shanghai, and American rock band Boys Like Girls in Singapore.

I think I’m gonna have to participate in this one. I’m gonna round up a crew, hit the pavement and then catch Yeezy at the end. If anyone else decides to participate in this event let us know, and send in some pics if you do.

I got a call from our boy Josh over at Red Bull on Saturday inviting us down to the Kanye West  show at The Staples Center. So Ace and I headed down and were able to see one of the most talked about and hyped concerts I can remember hearing about in a long time.

With so much hype and praise that I had heard leading up to this show, it was hard to go in open minded. But the show did not disappoint. Kanye puts all of himself into the show and you can tell how important this is too him. He gets hated on for his cockiness, but the dude wants to be the best that ever lived, and I can’t fault him for that. Why not strive for greatness?

One of the things about the whole experience that stood out to me, aside from the performances, was the crowd. I have been to a ton of concerts in my life, and I’m not sure if I have ever been to one with such a diverse and hip crowd. It seemed to me that people from every race, color, culture etc was representing at the show, and that is a statement as to how powerful music can be.  Hats off to Kanye, Lupe, N.E.R.D. and Rihanna for a great show and big thanks to Josh and Red Bull for inviting us down to the suite for this one!

Behind the scenes look at the filming of the Everyone Nose music video.

Much like his Blog Universecity, spinning recording studio and his song with Estelle, Kanye West drops stuff that is just next level.

Yesterday he allowed fans to take a quick listen to the rough Remix of Everybody Nose featuring NERD, Kanye, Lu and Pusha T.

I have been feeling this song for a minute now. Pay attention to Kanye’s second verse when he shouts out the WAGS.

UPDATE

Check this Estelle X Daft Punk mash up.

Thanks Tonus.

Even if you don’t like Kanye West, his shizz if next level.  Who has a spinning studio!!!

I also highly suggest KanyeUniversecity.

We’ve talked a lot here about Kanye West and his Glow in the Dark Tour. These are Kanye’s Air Yeezys.

Rumor is Zach was asked by Kanye to do this video as a favor.
