Trust me, if someone told me last yeat that I'd have a blog post just mentioning Soulja Boy I'd say you were a fool. But then again, some people say cucumbers taste better pickled Regardless, I'm not writing this post simply about Soulja Boy. I'm writing because Converse has done it again: Put together three acts that would normally never [ever] collaborate. Last year it was Kid Cudi, Bethany Cosentino from Best Coast and Rostam Batmanglij from Vampire Weekend on the song All Summer. This year's version features the duo Matt & Kim, rapper Soulja Boy and Andrew WK. Not sure if this year's version stacks up to last year's but at least they tried something different.
...right?
Matt & Kim feat. Soulja Boy and Andrew WK - I'm a Goner
I heard about the band Matt and Kim back at the end of 2008 but I kind of slept on them until recently when I realized that it was their song Daylight being played in the background of the new Bacardi commercial. [Note: Commercial can be found here. I'm sure you've seen it.] Anyway, I decided to buy their latest CD Grand yesterday and it's pretty dope. They also have some really dope and creative videos. Check out three of my favorite videos from Matt and Kim:
Daylight
Yeah Yeah
And my favorite, Lessons Learned [Watch this one til the end.]
We don't get many videos like this these days. Matt and Kim ftw
