You know why Kanye outsold 50? Because he did something new and different and brought quality music to the mix. But when you look at what these guys are doing, they make Ye look like an amateur. They kind of have a Clipse vibe, but are a little more throw back and a little more indie all at the same time. They’re currently opening for M.I.A. and have had songs on Entourage and in some NBA video game. If there is any justice in this world, people will pay attention to these two… And from the looks of it they already are. Press in The New Yorker, Prefix, and Pitchfork seems like a good start 
Listen to all the songs on their MySpace, they’re all good…

This beat is awesome… But what are mags ?

Mags are the type of rims that the bike is riding on. They are plastic and have 3 or more spokes, unlike a metal rim that 26 or so.
