NBC News: “Obama Fried Chicken” Sign Cut From Rap Video

Good Lord, who knew there would be all of this controversy over “Popular Demand”? I’d understand if Obama was part of the entourage, eating chicken in the video but let’s relax before Big Brother starts mysteriously pulling down the video. Everyone’s conspiracy theories are all wrong. Here’s what NBC New York has to say:

“A recently released music video for “Popular Demand” by the Clipse featured the awning of the infamous Obama Fried Chicken joint in Brownsville, Brooklyn. But in comparing versions of the video airing on MTV and elsewhere, it looks like the TV channel completely erased the restaurant’s name from the awning in the video’s opening shot.”

Revisiting “Go Low”

Here’s a classic throwback Three/21 video for Beanie Sigel titled “Go Low” off “The Solution” which also featured Rock City. What’s interesting is that many of the inserts were shot on two seperate occasions as Beans and management wanted to relocate the entire shoot from New York City to a small club in Atlanta, Georgia (not that you can really tell with the lighting we used). I think I may have had flashbacks of that same exact scenario during the recent “Popular Demand” shoot. Oh the memories, enjoy!

The Kickdrums – “There Might Be Blood” EP

thekickdrums-there

The Kickdrums are one of the most inventive and creative duos in recent memory. And I’m not saying that just because they are the homies. There’s really no way to label them into one single genre because their inspirations are massive and unpredictable. Shout out to Fitts, Tilla and URB Magazine for dropping “There Might Be Blood” for the holiday season! Click here to download.

“Our inspiration for this album came from trying to create an E.P. that contained natural noises and various sonic artifacts- such as reverb and echoes, distortion, feedback, and the use of noise as an “instrument”. Combining that with strong, memorable melodies, the music on this album is reminiscent of the cool fall weather… and what better time to release an album titled “There Might Be Blood” then around Halloween?”
