I’m really excited about this interview and the live footage we got is AMAZING. Our full interview will be out this Wednesday 7pm on The Come Up Show TV and obviously on The Come Up Show website. For now check the quick promo video.
If you didn’t already know Pharoahe Monch album W.A.R. is out today. Make sure to cop it on itunes and if you want to hear it first check out the album stream in full uploaded by Duckdown records.
This week we got a few retro releases including the Foamposite One’s, Jordan VII’s and also some new kicks and a new colorway of the Air Jordan 2011 which you see here. NCAA March Madness has begun and unless you live under a rock you know that MJ went to UNC and of course the entire basketball program at the University of North Carolina is sponsored by Jordan Brand. This colorway accents the ‘University Blue’ we’ve come to know & love.
Hit the jump for the Pewter/Black Foamposite One’s, Orion Blue VII’s, Nike Air Max JR’s, and ANOTHER new colorway of the Zoom Kobe VI.
Nate Dogg. For those who really did smoke weed every day (and for all of you who still do), this G-Funk Pea-Eye-Emm-Pea is the reason you remember half of the West Coast rap songs you do.
It actually takes some digging, for instance, to find a youtube version of Dre’s “The Next Episode” that isn’t called “Smoke Weed Everyday.” That perfectly timed little hook that Nate sorta adds on non-chalantly but affirmatively at the end of the track is of course not the name of the song. But it is certainly its most memorable line. What’s further, it is likely the most significantly quoted lyric from all of Dre’s seminal The Chronic 2001. How many times have you been hanging out and blazing with this tune on when some stoner accidentally sings out that bit a few seconds too soon during the wickedly satisfying little stretch of silence before the song’s last declamation? Spoilers aside, it never fails to be a something awesome moment when you and your fellow sessioners manage to get Nate’s mantra in sync. Even if you don’t know the dude next to you, so long as you manage to sync up those lines, then chances are you’re likely to be near best friends by the time “Let’s Get High” finishes.
To this day, “The Next Episode,” or as it is more affectionately dubbed, “Smoke Weed Everyday,” remains Dre’s second most downloaded song on iTunes. Yet Nate has managed to hit notes in all the right places more than just once. To call Nate prolific even, is an understatement. Sit back, hear, and reflect over a few more of Nate’s most iconic hooks– preferably while you roll and smoke one–to honour this legend whose unmistakable voice has touched us all. R.I.P.

Hamilton Ontario’s indie/hip-hop newcomers Canadian Winter have announced today that their debut album Just Wait Till February has been picked up by Urbnet Records. Since we first heard CW a couple months back, we have been supporting these guys in every way we can because, well, if you have heard their EP Bundle Up (which we were lucky enough to host along with Potholes) or their full length album JWTF, you’ll know why: their music is awesome.
From all of us at TCUS, congrats guys! We’re looking forward to seeing (and hearing) what happens in the future.

Welcome to the first ever Sneakers Corner post on The Come Up Show. Today being Saturday and most new shoes drop on this day we decided that we’re gonna aim to have this post EVERY Saturday from now on. Why? Well for those of you who don’t know me, I work at Foot Locker full time so about 1/3rd of my day is influenced by shoes and of course 100% of my day is hip hop. Hip-Hop & Sneaks are already a pair of things that have found love in one another. Hip Hop (in it’s early days and now re-emergence) was all about being the freshest MC on the mic and you couldn’t be a good MC if you didn’t have the right threads and kicks to go with it. Run-DMC’s classic track “My Adidas” was groundbreaking for the people who didn’t have style, they now knew what to rock and how to rock it correctly. Fashion & Sneaker based songs have been around as long as I can remember and we all can relate kicks to hip hop music. The nicest, coolest, most amazing (and most expensive) shoes to ever grace the feet of anyone will be showcased here. Jordan, Nike, Adidas, Converse, Nike SB, Supra’s, Air Max’s, Kobe’s, Lebron’s, etc, etc anything and everything all across the board and hopefully on our feet sometime (even in our dreams). Welcome to Sneakers Corner.
