Mike Flow – “Get Down Or Lay Down” [Video]

Ari So Focused — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 21:02:50 +0000

Now is the perfect time to get familiar with Mike Flow. Set against the gritty backdrop of the Uptown section of The Bronx, the Jaison BlackRose directed “Get Down Or Lay Down” starts with a carefully crafted opening scene that draws the viewer into the culture of the streets. A culture that includes trapping, block monopoly, and getting respect by any means necessary. Produced by Dizz, “Get Down Or Lay Down” brings back an aspect of underground hip-hop that has slowly began to lose its way amongst the glamorous, champagne popping, club going records and videos.

Nola Darling – “STFU (Start The Riot)”

Sooo last night I walk into SOB’s and see these chicks on stage. After watching them perform 2 songs, I turned to my friend and said “wtf is this…and why do I love it?” LOL Needless to say, I’m now a Nola Darling fan. I don’t know much about these girls yet, but they’re dope. Their music, as well as their live show, embodies so much personality…and they’re kinda weird, but it REALLY works for them! Check out their video for “STFU (Start The Riot)” produced by Kwame.

With just a Dollar and a Dream, this video was shot in 2008 before I even had a record deal. 3 years later, watching it still gives me the same emotions. – Jermaine Cole

Drake – “Headlines” [Video]

Is it just me or did Drake have swag in this video? I still need more from him, though. It kind of reminds me of the “I’m On One” video. Was there a “to be continued…” at the end that I missed? Anywho, check it out!

Jay-Z and Kanye West ft. Frank Ocean – “Made In America” [Video] (Directed by Silas Luster)

Ari So Focused — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:58:44 +0000

Here’s a fan made video by Silas Luster of Access Granted TV.

This song motivates a range of connotations and emotions within the minds of different listeners. Art, or powerful art at least, raises flags and may offend some people; there are some people will not understand it, don’t get it or cannot relate to it. But then there are the group of people who hear or see a piece of art and are affected by the content and it raises questions and discussions within that group. For me, ‘Made in America’ was a song that did just that. This poetic song revealed a long, dark American history but mixed that dark history with notions of hope for the future.

With this video I do not have an answer. I am not trying to make a final decision, but instead I want to raise questions, I want to start a discussion. I first would like to give appreciation and thanks to Frank Ocean, Kanye West, and Jay-Z for creating such a thought provoking song at this time in their career. But most importantly, I want to trigger emotions and maybe start dialogue about what is means to be ‘made in America’ or what is means to ‘make it in America’ and how do these two ideas relate to your life?
