...slightly crowded chocolate-brown tables, and the water served from retro glass bottles all evoke the aura of a casual café in the French countryside. At the same time, large colorful canvases, spotlighted with wiggly black wire lamps, dangle across the wall to create a funky, artistic vibe. The room is cheerful and inviting, radiating with a warm glow from the contrasting hues of vivid yellow and deep red. The high ceilings and the mirrors that fully cover one of the walls gives the small and intimate space the illusion of roominess. Huge, fishbowl-like windows create odd?...
...York stop featured Bay Area rappers Blackalicious, making a comeback after a few years’ hiatus, as openers. Playing to a fairly sparse crowd, MC Gift of the Gab and DJ Chief Excel worked hard to raise a vibe that never entirely blossomed. Michael Franti of Spearhead had no such problem.

"We don't want any negative associations that might come with a video, any accusations or anything," says Def Jam president Kevin Lyles...
...about beauty and fingernail polish and gushing adoration of Cornel West. Brother Blue snaps his fingers, speaks in rhythm, drops to whispers, scrunches his face on the verge of tears, stands up to “jive and dance.” His continuous energy is an imposing, persistent vibe in the room. Especially when he’s asking “Do you think you’re beautiful?” Also, when he says that Don Quixote and St. Francis of Assisi are his personal heroes...
