K-os & Saukrates - I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman (Live Acoustic Version)

Music video: k-os feat. Saukrates - "I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman"
K-os is one of my favorite artists nowadays. Dude has always kind of been ahead of his time in terms of making 'post-hip hop' hip hop for want of a better term to describe his music.
Video directed by X, YES album in stores now in Canada and now the US too as of last week!

No joke, this dude should be as big in the mainstream world as Black Eyed Peas, his pop instincts and songwriting skills are impeccable.

Enter the Vanilla Ice Tax Rap contest. (related: peep the Nike SB x Vanilla Ice Blazer's - coming this May, this is the second in the Fallen Heroes series pack after the Milli Vanilli joints from a few months back)
And for the record, I'm offended that (unless I missed them) I have yet to see an ad for Capitol/EMI rapper K-os' new Atlantis - Hymns for Disco album on any of the hip hop blogs I read (or on this site) but his label buys an ad on friggin' Stereogum? WTF?? And in case anyone was was wondering, yeah I've long been a supporter of this dude on the site.
