The Philadelphia portion of the Sneaker Pimps (not the band) tour lands at the Troc this Saturday. A “Sneaker Lifestyle” show (whatever that means), these events bring in large numbers of sneakerheads (as evidenced by their lineup of Philly sponsors) and feature art, skate demos, and musical performances. While NYC gets Nas and EPMD to hop on the mic, Philly gets shafted big time with Capone-N-Noreaga. That’s right CNN, who collectively haven’t released an album since 2000′s “The Reunion.” Back in 2000, I was a freshman in college and living in the dorms at Temple University. My roommate, Bruce, purchased this album the day it came out  and listened to it non-stop for about 3 weeks straight. That really isn’t an exaggeration. I’d come back from class, walk through the door to the 2nd floor of Johnson Hall, and get hit a wall of this CNN album. So, I would put my bag down, and leave until I knew he was at class and I wouldn’t have to listen to Capone and Noreage trading verses. So, don’t expect me at the Troc this weekend. But you should go. I will admit, “Invincible” was a pretty hot song though.
