A few months ago I mentioned a release party I was at for Common’s collaboration with Microsoft on the Softwear line. Here’s a spot with him talking about the thoughts behind it…
Went to a “Microsoft party” last night… They’re putting out a t-shirt line, and Common designed some shirts for it. Microsoft seemed to be trying really hard to be cool. One of the displays was a big timeline of hip hop and Microsoft history, trying to link the two. Featuring a mug shot from when Bill Gates got arrested as a teenager. (street cred!)
The highlight of the night (aside from meeting Common, of course!) was watching Common perform UMC and freestyle with Biz Markie.
here are some photos I took, and a video that I did not take…
thanks val!
