"Video Music Blogs" -Frank & Drake Make New Videos!

Now I'm no (Uncle) Ralph McDaniels, "the Vid Kid", or even Tuffy for that matter, BUT however I do appreciate posting a good video from time to time, of some of my currently favorite artist. So pardon the lateness if you've seen these already, I've been busy doing other things with myself...like LIVING for instance! LOL!

"No Court For Ol' Men!" -The Block Asssiociation's Basketball CHALLENGE!

Heads up: If you ever drive by that park over by the BQE right off of Atlantic Ave. & Columbia St. on a Sunday, and you happen to peep some mid-to late thirty something guys trying to re-capture their youthful "hoop dreams" Then yeah, THAT would be this crew of misplace African Americans in an all white neighbor taking over that community parks' half court. At first I thought it was to raise awareness of adulthood obesity, but the TRUE story was that cats was talking trash started by Keith "I pick things up & put them down" Major and Lyshaan "I'm 10 mins. away but REALLY am 1 1/2 hrs" Hall after the NBA Finals upset, and challenged each other to a "friendly" game of round ball. Everyone else got dragged into it. So since I never dribbled besides in my sleep, I took pics and made a quick video of the kids doing what we do best, making a fool of each other! LOL

"Hotel, Motel, Holiday Innnn..." -Yet Another Influence Series 3.0 Trailer

If you are SERIOUS about upgrading your social life then I can't understand for the life of me WHY haven't I seen you at at least ONE of these Monday evening soirees' called "the Influence Series 3.0" held at the very sexy TriBeca/SoHo Grand Hotel. Curated by Micheal Mancini and DJ CEO, this ongoing event is shaping up to be THEE premiere networking location in all of NYC! Here's some footage I shot last Monday to give you a better idea to the scene set by these pioneering gentlemen, so you know that they ain't buls**ting!



Oh you need MORE proof? BONG! There ya go...

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.256)

Okay folks, listen to THIS story! So the other day I get an anonymous text (never saved the name I think) from someone requesting my availability to shoot for a private b'day dinner that a female friend of said texter was having. I replied back "Sounds like an plan, and HOW much $!" not thinking of asking "Ummm, who is this exactly?" So the date comes up, and this time I get a phone call from the same person, calling to confirm if I was still up for taking photos. And even then though the voice sounded familiar, I was too embarrassed to revel that I didn't know WHO the f**k I was speaking too! LOL! But however what peaked my interest (besides the $) was that they mention that the location to show up was a pawn shop in front that had a door in back reveling a high end restaurant behind that door. WHAAAAT!?! Fast forward now, while hanging out w/ my Block (Association) brothers DJ Trauma, Lyshaan Hall, and songtress Malene Younglao, I mentioned that I HAVE to stop by this spot to fulfill a photo obligation and that they could tag along, not know WTF I was walking into. We get there, then I realized...I have NO clue WHO THE HELL am I supposed to be looking for! Texted the anonymous dude back to get a name and then proceeded to flag a waiter down for help finding them. So long story short, what you see below is the who, what, & where, we all end up at. Along with the WHY? Happy B'day Lande! Hope you enjoy the pics!

"Push It Along!"- Tribe Trailer & Poster Art

Within the last two months the Ft. Greene Fest has featured 2/3's (Q-Tip & Ali Shaheed) of one of THEE most influential groups to ever come out of Hip-Hop...A Tribe Called Quest! But very few ever knew about the internal feuding that lead to the demise of the group. This is where this film comes in. Actor now director Micheal Rapport explores/exploits the "who, what, when & how" this beloved group took a downward spiral in their relationship with each other. Hopefully this will have a happy ending...in REAL life though.

"Made You Look...Again!" -Artful Dodgers' Organized Chaos Musical Mash Up!

Ok you got Game Rebellion, Navegante', Ninjasonik, Oxymoron, Roxy, Hank & Cupcakes, the ENTIRE Artful Dodger staff, and about 200 hungry eager music fans and you have the ingredients for a quite riot! Well that was the scene last week at Lit Lounge for A.D.'s "When Worlds Collide!" musical mash-up! It was hot like "the Devil on summer vacation down in Arizona" type heat up in there, but folks (literally) sweated it out and endured the "Easy Bake Oven" temperatures. Here the highly awaited picture AND video (yep!) set to Nas' hit song "Made You Look" Peep it, Like it, and Spread it! S/O to Just C. and Solo (lead video girl)
