I put my sister's Ipod on random, and BOOM! Fast beat, acoustic guitar, Sweet Suga Lo rapping his face off, Trick Daddy addressing the truth in adlibs, a song with a course literally about what I was watching happen as I was listening.
Told you we'd be back strong. Now czech out this crazy wind house:
PS: Here's a video fron Warren Zevon's heartbreaking album, The Wind (see what I've done there) that features an ipod (two doubles) and is awesome.
Music videos can be very low budget if you pick great shots, cut with restraint and don't feature the artist in ten different locations. Up-and-coming starts of R&B, this is how it can be done...
The staff here at Grilling It intend on keeping our promise of a bigger, better, badder (meaning gooder) flow of posts. I've had this mixtape for months and in a wintery drought neglected to share it.
The time is now, as the Stanley Cup finals pause for 24 hours and move to Steeltown USA (aka The birthplace of Clifford Heinrichs MAN OF STEEL THE ETERNAL PAPA H).
It is a conflict of youth vs defense, as the bright lights of iced sports are being thoroughly schooled at Osgood Hall (These are hockey references, read on).
It's a meditation on the game we love, by two of Winnipeg's finest. It involves an appearance on talk radio. You read that correctly, the action line. To all the new jack youngblood dj's...they will teach you haw to (publicity) stunt.
I gathered from the clips provided, the CJOB audience was overlooking the connection between criminal violence in service of self preservation in ghetto life, as a reaction to poverty, and the religion of violent sport in Canada, as a reaction to winter.

"Zevon is famous for his ability to stay awake for as long as it takes -- often for 85 or 90 straight hours. "I wrote 'Hit Somebody in 75 hours,' " he said, "and look what happened to that one." -Hunter S Thompson
