Check For This: Life and Debt + Ras Trent
Since I got so much feedback of both kinds about the Flight of the Conchords post last week, I decided I was going to put you on to another video selection for this week. Now since at least one person thought I shouldn’t have included Kiwi Alt-Comic Mock Hop (my terminology, not theirs) in a Hip Hop weblog, I figured I should at least pick a film a little closer to my particular subject matter.
So I thought deep, what one piece of video cinema would I most want to share with the world. What could I drop on my faithful readers in 5 or 15 minutes that would have an impact on their day. So I chose Life and Debt, a movie with stunning cinematography, an incredible soundtrack, and a topic near and dear to my heart. This is a 9 minute clip from the beginning, but I recommend actually coping the DVD and watching it on a Hi Def with speakers. Call up that rich ass homeboy with the stinky breath and bring some dro. It’s worth it. For the lazy and unconnected, the rest of the film is also on YouTube.
And since I know you guys watched the first one and got bummed out, here’s a little something to lighten the situation. Shout outs to my brother Bashir for putting me onto this new talent on the dancehall scene. Ras Trent.Check for him man, he’s got a future.
