THROW YOUR ONES UP IN THE AIR

30 minutes of Drake's performance in Atlanta...

"The Beatles meets OutKast"

If Ruel were here he would say this shit is "synonymous with awesomeness" with a "dose of dopeness"... but I'll just say "this shit is EPIC". If you haven't heard of Chester French yet, they're a two-man rock band that signed with Pharrell's Star Trak. Their debut album, Love The Future, will be dropping later this month. Until then, check out the mixtape featuring Diddy, Pharrell, Common, Wale, Talib Kweli, Jermaine Dupri, Jadakiss, Bun B., Pusha T of the Clipse, Solange, Lady Gaga, Janelle Monae, Mickey Facts, Kardinal Offishall, and Cassie. I think their music is super dope and I put them up there with Ryan Leslie, Kid Cudi, and Drake. Yea, I said it!

From Chester French:
It's 5am and we're sitting in our tour bus with the lights dimmed finalizing mixes while we write this email and invite you to finally check out the first new music we've released since 2007. First, we'd like to thank you for helping us get this far. We started Chester French in 2003, during our freshman year of college, and the past six years have been a remarkable journey.

On April 21, we'll be releasing our full-length debut album, "Love the Future," a record that we began more than four years ago. We hope that with that release we'll be able to convert millions of music fans into Chester French supporters. But you've been with us from the start, so we wanted to give you a special gift today: a totally free full-length album. Welcome to "Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance."

Last year DJ Clinton Sparks came to us with an offer to make a Chester French mixtape. While we appreciated his enthusiasm (and peerless physique), we wanted "Love the Future" to be the World's first taste of CF. A few months ago, though, we caved to Clinton's relentless advances and agreed to work on a project with him, but only if it would be more than a mixtape. Since then we've had an amazingly fun time making the free album that you're about to experience.

"Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance" is a chronicle of the past six years of our lives. It tells our story, from the gymnasiums of Harvard to the hills of Hollywood. Unlike "Love the Future," which we've written, arranged, performed, produced, and engineered by ourselves, "Jacques Jams" features a collection of new, original music that we created in the hills of Massachusetts and then invited some of our favorite artists to grace.

As young artists, we couldn't be more grateful for this opporunity to collaborate with legends like Jermaine Dupri, Diddy, Pharrell, Pusha, Talib Kweli, Bun B., The Mad Rapper, Kardinal Offishall, N.O.R.E, and Jadakiss as well as younger friends like Janelle Monae, Cassie, Wale, Solange, Lady Gaga, and Mickey Factz. All of these fantastic artists have been more than generous with their creativity and hard work, so we owe them an enormous debt. Clinton Sparks, above all, has tirelessly guided us toward success and endurance, a tall order with obnoxious perfectionists like us! We'd also like to thank Clinton's manager, Daouda Leonard, for his endless help and beautifully manicured beard.

Now CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD "Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance."

The next month will be pivotal as we put out "Love the Future" through Star Trak / Interscope records. We hope that you will continue to tell all of your friends and family about our music and movement. Consider yourself an ambassador of our VIP Concierge Service, which anyone can join for free at www.chesterfrench.com . Please encourage everyone you meet to visit our site and join. Every single new supporter truly takes us one step closer to sustaining our touring and recording. As always, we love to hear from you so respond to this email or write to chester@chesterfrench.com any time with any ideas you might have for how we can better spread the word!

Love the future,

D.A. and Max

"He's one of the most breathtaking rookies I've seen in person -- ever..."

I always check out Page 2 on ESPN.com and this time Bill Simmons aka the Sports Guy talks about how great Randolph is and how absurd how the Warriors don't give him more playing time. Looks like even people outside the Bay Area pay attention to Randolph. Good read.

Q: YES! YES, YES, YES!!! Please write about Anthony Randolph! I've been telling people about him all year long. There's never been an NBA player with his size and skill set. Ever. He's a looong 6-foot-10, runs like a gazelle, has great hops, and can handle the ball. Love it. As an added bonus, he looks like he's constantly crying or really getting his feelings hurt. He's fascinating. I get genuinely giddy any time the Warriors are on, for him alone. Can you please let America know about Anthony Randolph?
-- Aaron, Chicago


SG: He's one of the most breathtaking rookies I've seen in person -- ever -- for all the reasons you just described. There has never been anyone quite like him. He's like a cross between Josh Smith and Lamar Odom, only if you fed him 10 Red Bulls and told him right before the game, "If you can make 10 things happen during the 10 minutes you play tonight, we will quadruple your salary and you will start for the rest of the season" ... and then he does just that, but the coach reneges on the promise so Anthony has a near-crying meltdown on the bench. That's every Anthony Randolph game. I caught him once and, in the span of two hours, he made three "MY GOD!" plays and broke down on the Warriors' bench because Nellie wouldn't put him back in, followed by an assistant consoling him through an entire timeout like Randolph was a third grader who got in trouble for something he didn't do, then had a meltdown and got kicked out of class. It was riveting. The odds of me missing another Clips-Warriors game for the next five years are 10,000-to-1.

One other thing: There hasn't been nearly enough made of how screwed up the Warriors are right now. Their front office and ownership situation is a world-class mess. Their coach has been in "I'm Keith Hernandez" Mode since the 2007 Dallas upset and looks like he's actively trying to get fired. They have two young players everyone loves -- Randolph and Monta Ellis -- only they've been antagonized to the degree that it might affect them long-term. In Randolph's case, how can a lottery team not play a talent like Randolph 35 minutes a game? What the hell is going on here??? For some reason, the only media member who seems to care is Tim Kawakami. I don't get it. If I were a Warriors fan, I would be organizing protests outside the arena complaining about Randolph's playing time. It's insane. Imagine if Chicago was 16-50 and played Derrick Rose 10 minutes a game. Would you think that was weird? You would, right? Welcome to Anthony Randolph's world. This is the single weirdest subplot of the 2008-09 season, narrowly edging Zaza Pachulia's bacne.

An Artist Named Cudi


Check out Javid’s interview with Kid Cudi from the super exclusive Alife Rivington Club sneaker store in New York. Fresh from his performances at the SXSW music conference Kid Cudi talks about how his mixtape “A Kid Named Cudi” blew up, working with Kanye West & T-Pain in Hawaii, possibly, just possibly getting on Jay-Z’s new album, changing the game, groupie love and more. Oh yeah Kid Cudi also shows us his customer service skills - answering the Alife phone lines and helping a faithful customer get his Air Jordan’s. Shout out to Ohio!

Bay Area sports...

...has the worst upper management in the whole country. No Warner, no Housh, no Manny, no one good at all. And Warriors still suck. We're never gonna see a Championship in any sport. I already know the Sharks are gonna choke. That's all. That's my vent.
