Watch the Throne Documentary

Thursday night I had the pleasure to go to the Kid Cudi show for free.  It was a great show don't get me wrong but I said this months ago when I found out where he venue was at and it turned out to be true.  Cudi played at a big outside amphitheater.  To me hip-hop should be in small venues so you can be up close and personal and truly feel the artist.  With the exception to a couple of artist including Yezzy & Jay-Z!  So with just days away from the the long-awaited album, Jay-Z and Kanye offer up a mini-documentary revealing some of inner-workings during the creation process of Watch The Throne. If you have 10 minutes to set aside, you can check out how some of it all went down. Shit is really cool they have some of the best b-roll mixed in it is wild.  I like that during the dinner scene at the begging when Ye gives Jay his gift you can hear Mayer Hawthorne playing in the background. Watch the Throne is set to release on August 1, 2011 digitally and August 5, 2011 physically.  This is going to be an incredible birthday gift!

Nike 6.0 “Leave a Message” Trailer

I love woman who surf.  This summer at the US Open in Huntington Beach my jaw was dropping at all the gorgeous female pro surfers!  Guess who is leading the way in showing off the rise of the female surfers? None other than Nike!


Recent years have seen an astounding growth in female professional surfers, so much that the Swoosh’s alternative sports line Nike 6.0 rises to the forefront of the sport. To address this trend, Nike unleashes the trailer to “Leave a Message”, an ode to the culture featuring surfing’s most talented women. Enjoy the trailer until May 24th when the full film releases.

Bonnaroo 2011 Line up

I don't know how I feel about the Bonnaroo Line up. When it comes to festivals I try to look at the headliners due to the fact that is where most of your money and time at night will be spent. That being said, there are some really good bands, definitely some similarities to Coachella. However, instead of Kanye West you get Eminem at Bonnaroo(not an even trade in my book). As well as you get Widespread Panic instead of Kings of Leon. I'm not the biggest fan of what The Kings have done on their last couple of albums, but I would much rather see them than Widespread!

Maestro Knows Special Edition (Tyreke Evans)

In this episode Maestro follows Tyreke on an off day in Los Angeles as they head to EA Sports for some NBA JAM and then out to the court as Tyreke tries to assist Maestro's efforts toward his slam dunk.  Later in the episode they go to Venice Beach to check out Elite 24.  Its so crazy seeing Venice Beach I miss it so much there.  Can't wait to try and make my way back out there.  I've got mad respect for Tyreke Evans after watching this too he's a beast. Also in this episode you finally find out how Maestro got his nickname...

Satellite “Say the Words”

I worked on this music video over summer. It was a crazy day of filming to say the least. There is so much going on in this video, the background is full of characters and I almost feel like you don't get the full appreciation for what each background person has going on when you watch it. We shot this at a celebrities house, I won't say who but he was really cool, and so was everyone else I met that day. The band and lead singer were so down to earth and so gracious and caring. They even took my starving ass out for one of the best dinners I had all summer in LA after we wraped. The whole group of people just seemed like one big family and that was really refreshing to see in Hollywood. Definitely made some incredible memories that day...nothing like working with a bunch of music video vixens.
