VIDEO: Channel Live - Hip Hop Nation

I posted an MP3 of this really great track a while ago. Today SitDownStandUp.com is exclusively debuting the video. Much props to Hakim. A must-watch for any Hip Hop fan with an appreciation to that New York vibe you grew up on. So good.

Labels: channel live, video

Why is there a cheap cartoon photoshop filter for? What is the point of the artwork? What is the storyline with the girl getting dissed have to do about the song? It's hip hop!!! I don't see any hip hop in the video besides the cameos from Krs-One, Freddie Fox and so forth. I loved this song on Hip Hop DX where I first heard it, but now I am highly disappointed.; 19:26

Channel Live said...: Not that you care, but the point of the video is to address conflict resolution and promote "Stop The Violence".. If your from the hood you know that's how beef gets started, over something small, like "what you say?" or "Why you put our hands on my girl?"..We shot this in Philadelphia wit REAL Hood cats to show REAL leadership.. Philly is the murder capitol right now.. Maybe we should of had a rimmed up benz or made the chick get naked or something..The art was used to incorporate other elements of Hip Hop besides rapping.. But seeing as most of you guys were born after 1990 yall wouldn't get it.. Do some research then you might understand.. start with the movies "Wildstyle" and "Style Wars"; 16:14

Rubina said...: well, I'm impressed. you don't often come across an artist (especially hip-hopper) interested in such issures and able to express his ideas in such a good way. I love your music (happy to find it by abbmp3.com/ ) and from now on respect you even more.; 14:47
