An interesting dialogue by Joe Budden and his first-person perspective video as they talk about music being emotional – regardless of how shallow or deep your favorite artist may be, at the end of the day, all music brings an emotion. Joe Budden may bring some real life/struggle emotion, while Soulja Boy may make you feel like getting up and dance in the club – either way, it all comes down to the feelings.
Kind of a long video for the Internet finicky crowd, but you’ll learn something at the end of it. Side note: they really shouldn’t be talking so foul in front of the little kid … SMH
A little video collage that I did for DOT CITY. The lyrics and track are pretty powerful as it talks about the ‘End of Days’, so I think I put out some pretty compelling images to evoke that emotion. This track is by Dot City feat. Jermaine Barnaby and is called ‘End of Time’, Let me know what you think….
Heard this track on the ending credits of HBO’s Entourage episode “Sniff Sniff Gang Bang” from Season 7, episode 8, and the track is infectious. A sort of Pop/Rock/R&B fusion that hits hard. One thing about Entourage: Its not the greatest show, but the music selections are on point. The artist is Jared Evan, the track is ‘In Love with you’.
A worthwhile event to check out going down September 2, 2010 in Toronto:
LITERATURE FOR LIFE announces the all-star line-up for the second annual POETIC FASHION to be held SEPTEMBER 2, 2010 at the ST. LAWRENCE CENTRE FOR THE ARTS. JUNO AWARD NOMINEE KIM DAVIS (kimdavisonline.com) and RAPTORS TV SHOWTIME HOST AKIL AUGUSTINE host a showcase of some of Toronto’s best up and coming designers – including ROD PHILIPOT of SHKANK INC. (shkank.com) whose designs have already graced the stages of THE GRAMMYS, MISS UNIVERSE, and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and CINDY RENEE of SODALISIOUS (carringtonsworld.com) who has been worn by celebrities like 90210’s ANNA LYNNE-MCCORD.But this isn’t your average fashion show. Poetic Fashion also showcases some of Toronto’s best talent including CANADIAN BEATBOX CHAMPION SCOTT JACKSON (myspace.com/sjbeatbox), composer and pianist JD KEYS and APOLLO AMATEUR NIGHT WINNER BLAKE CARRINGTON (carringtonsworld.com)alongside a host of established and up and coming spoken word artists from Toronto’s priority neighbourhoods. Poetic Fashion is a model youth leadership initiative – run by youth for youth – and committed to building bridges not barriers between Toronto’s at-risk communities, finding commonalties, not differences.
And of course with the advent of the Internet, there is a parody of this:
I guess the moral of the story is dont mess with black people and their chicken; especially the greasy, fried, cholesterol-clogging chicken from Popeye’s …. SMH.
Sometimes funny, often condescending, but always real from the heart, Life in B Major is my expression of emotions & thoughts through the lens of the Nerban - the Techie Nerd with some Urban Swag and Hip-Hop Culture. Meaning, I know the lyrical differences between a Lil Wayne & Jay-Z, and I also know how to setup a dual boot OS with Vista & Linux. That's fly.
Anyhow, I got a mounting task as I manage to bounce back from a failed business partnership, dealing with WACK people, re-igniting my techie hustle, loving hip-hop music, but having an opinion on the turds and the system that tries to mess it up, AND lifting up and helping others to realize their own potential - while also refining and crafting my own.
