Camille Safiya “Phunky Philly”

First I wanna say that Camille is an extraordinary artist and she has a powerful and chilling voice when she sings. Fred Focus is a true visionary and the images he captured in this video are beyond explanation.

I wanna bring forth my thoughts on one particular part. When the black and white scene of Camille on the porch with the dog comes on I swear my heart skipped a beat. I almost forgot I was watching a music video on my iPhone. I for a second believed I had travelled back in time and was watching a real image of some 1930’s back alley shanty town performance.

This is by far the best work I’ve seen from these two artists, in regards to them working together. I know the both of them personally and would like them to know I’m deeply proud to have been graced by their artistic presences’ in my lifetime. I hope to see more collaborations between them and riveting and provocative works of art in the near and later future.


Naughty By Nature “O.P.P.”

I saw this sticker today at work and it brought back the childhood memory of Naughty By Nature’s hit single “O.P.P.”, which was my shit! You had to respect the intensity and how gangsta’ the track was in 1991. Rap ain’t what it used to be.
