According to OkayPlayer, the “Seeing The Invincible Sounds of Summer Tour” which includes Common and N.E.R.D. has been announced. If you haven’t figured it out as of yet, Seeing Sounds is N.E.R.D. album title and Invincible Summer is Common’s. I really like the title of the tour although the summer is almost over and Common’s Invincible Summer is looking more like an Invincible Fall with his album being pushed back. Regardless, the tour will be hot…there have only been three dates announced so far. Click here to see if the tour will be coming to your city.

For Complex Magazine Style and Design Issue, Lupe and NERD are on the front covers. The Glow in the Dark Tour is just about done and NERD, Lupe, Kanye, and Pusha T from Clipse just wrapped up the video for Everyone Nose Remix (ALL THE GIRLS STANDING IN THE LINE FOR THE BATHROOM!). Ya’ll probably remember the hook better than the title but anyways, I heard the remix is crazy and MMIM will definitely post once we get it.

Once again Hip Hop has been tapped to influence this year’s election. The Democratic party will feature performances from Wyclef Jean, Nerd, and Mr. West himself at their National Convention in Denver. The event is four days and will start on August 25th. All I can say is Wow!! This is going to be an amazing experience to have Obama, Kanye and Nerd all on the same stage!!!
The acts chosen to support Obama reflect how instrumental this election year is, as well as how important it is for us to influence the youth to take a stand and vote.
Let MMIM know what you think.
