1) North America South America, an international collective of musicians spanning a wide spectrum of musical genres, centered around Squeak E. Clean (Sam Spiegel) and DJ Zegon (Ze Gonzales). Sam and Ze met in April of 2003 at a friend's studio and began making music together the following day.
At first they sampled rare Brazilian records from the 60's and 70's to make tracks. However, what started as two crate diggers making music for the fun of it soon developed into something much bigger. Having forged a strong friendship through their passion for music, Sam and Ze decided to make a record with all of their heroes and favorite musicians.
The idea was to bring people from different worlds together through their shared inspiration and love of music. Thus N.A.S.A. was born, with crazy collaborations like Ol' Dirty Bastard (Wu-Tang Clan), Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and Fatlip (Pharcyde) on one track, David Byrne (Talking Heads), Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), and Gift of Gab (Blackalicious) on another, and even the unlikely pairing of Tom Waits and Kool Keith.
Soon Sam and Ze realized they could expand the concept to encompass an entire record. The idea is to ignore all of the boundaries and borders that are in place to keep people divided, such as musical genre, race, politics, geography, language, etc. As a result, they gathered the craziest and most eclectic collection of musicians ever assembled on one album in the hope that they can show, through music, that all those superficial divisions are an illusion.
N.A.S.A. proves we are all one race of human beings interested in collaboration and unity, ignoring preconceptions, and transcending genre definitions.
2) N.A.S.A. (Noize Addicted Sound Architecht) is Mikkel Rasmussen, living in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has been a part of the Danish psychedelic scene for over 10 years and has been big a supporter of the progressive psytrance scene as well for several years now. Also known as: N-A-S-A, Nasa

N.A.S.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shit gone change and it ain't gone change
Wanna play games That's out of Your Range
I got, mad brains I interpret things
Precisely pick em apart, my day start with art
Foul remarks are met with the tart
Attitude, that is rude boy, buddy embark on a Journey
Boy the tumble and dry keep turning
Computer screens glaze while my ideas coil
I'm a Leo, I veto my ego, when I greet all my peoples I see through the evil
Can't outfox this, I'm cautious with gob stoppers
Who pop they choppers, uh uh
No go, I said so. you're flaky like the outside bread on an egg roll
Diesel, the measles, you don't wanna catch those
Slap foes, dap bros, welcome to the black hole
Lets all act now unless you cracked out
My mouth spit math out, hope you don't pass out
And we can do this with a bit of
Samba Soul
I want yall to really get wit it let it hit your in the
Soul
Can you dig it, can you dig, can you dig it?
Yeah yeah yeah...
Out of sight, I knew you could so lets roll and get down with this
Soul
Diesel neither come back or flow back, know that
Cut off a limb this shit grow back
Slip it a kojak, blaze up a drosack
Just so I can get in the Bo black
Hoes that's
Difficult, Just cause they weak inside, like speakin lies
I'll ignore them, symptom of boredom
Whores come in dozens, plus they a dime a dozen
No time for frontin', better find em something
My motto is don't be sayin' shit you don't be doin and you wont be ruined
I don't be foolin', I hope these useless gooses stop the foolishness
They're excuses merely lead to my
Inclusive clairvoyance about a fear of enjoyment
Of hoes tryna snare em a billionaire boyfriend
Bitch your pussy's not gonna hold me
My mind calisthenics is my whole motif, my flow go deep
Know those streets from the solo creep
Know those beats
So don't sleep, that's how you get taken unaware
Aching for a Share, hatin' on a playa
Never wanna look toward, just sit there and look bored
And got the nerve to be materialistic when knowledge ain't nowhere on their wish list
And then they blow they whole goal
Don't even recognize inside they own soul
And then they blow they whole goal
Don't even recognize inside they own soul
And we can do this with a bit of
Samba Soul
I want y'all to really get wit it let it hit you in the
Soul
Can you dig it, can you dig, can you dig it?
Out of sight, I knew you could so lets roll and get down with this

Whenever you hand him a microphone to use
He is down to business, you know that he don't play
So just bear witness to that Samba Soul he display
