Va$htie Kola

Let me introduce everybody to Vashtie Kola (as if she needs an introduction).  Besides being a tastemaker within her sphere of influence, she's an inspiration and a delight to be around.  Yes, she's a talented director (like the kid..lol :).  Yes, her selection of clothing determines who most women will want to be tomorrow, but most of all, it's her personality that keeps you into what she's doing every second that she's around.  It's effortless and carefree- undeniably genuine. Yeah, this might sound like a crush, but it's not... It's just not often that the adjective "dope" is so easily defined within 15 seconds of being introduced to someone. And that's what the Popular Kid is all about, ya know?... being dope... 360 degrees.  365 days a year.  Be you.  If that's hard- just watch Va$h Money. Ea$y.

CAMPING FOR KICKS??

Ok, So I got a kick fetish too. As a matter of fact, we all have something material that we're attached to. It doesn't have to be the most expensive thing, but there's always something that we wish not to part with. When the iphone came out, people spent days outside waiting to buy it. Granted its a dope phone, but why spend the night outdoors for a phone? Is it about the phone, or is it about the mere experience of marking the time in our lives when we were wild and free? (I hope its the second choice).

Anyway... the iphone is one thing... but shoes?? I love shoes, but c'mon... isn't that taking it a little too far??

And yes, the Air Yeezy's are fresh, but do you really think I won't be able to get my hands on them is a reasonable amount of time without sleeping on the concrete pavement?

Think about it. I might even get YOU to sell them to me... now was it worth it? lol.

Ea$y.

Hilarious "Family Guy" clip that was banned from TV...


I feel slightly guilty for posting this, but I have to admit, it's pretty funny.  I think we take ourselves to serious these days and are offended way too easily.  Sometimes it takes a cartoon to make us laugh at ourselves.

"LOSO'S WAY" THE MOVIE


I have to say that I'm really excited about "Loso's Way".   Obviously, it's much different than writing and directing a treatment for a music video, but it also give us more range to create. Think an hour and twenty minutes instead of 3 minutes and thirty seconds.  I'm really going to put myself to the test.  

On another note, but somewhat the same, Ivan just came down to LA to lend his creative brain. As it turns out, TAJ isn't so stubborn after all. lol... 

Together, I think we'll create something true and even more important in today's Hip Hop climate... transcending.  Let's see what happens. 

God is good.

Ea$y.

Ne-Yo "Part of the List" Video

There's a certain caliber of artist that allows us as directors to do our jobs with ease.  They consistently remind us why companies invest millions of dollars into their evolving careers, as they continuously bring us to a place of instant magic.  Ne-Yo is a star.  Period.

Ea$y.

God is Good.
