UPRISING: SO AMAZING

A montage “dedicated to all the AMAZING Egyptian men and women behind the peaceful protests.” set to Kanye’s. Its crazy how Kanye’s verse fits perfectly juxtaposed over Mubarak’s character, even though he didn’t mean “Monster” in that way. I guess you have to be careful with your words, for they may end up representing the wrong side of the uprising.

LEGENDARY:A FILM ABOUT THE ROOTS

(Words by shamz)For the latest from OKPTV, we get an intimate mini-doc on the hardest working band in the biz, and now 4 time Grammy award winners, The Roots. Cam Be (director/editor) and Jeff Baraka (Interviewer/co-producer) tagged along with The Roots for a few stops on last year’s Hennessey Artistry tour, and got some great footage. Says Cam of the vid: “In this film I wanted to not only highlight the versatility of a group that has played with most everyone in the industry. But also capture candid moments of real human beings just trying to share the gifts they have been given to the best of their abilities.” Props to Cam, Jeff, and Bradley Murray for this.
