Koyunbaba!

Here's the proof that I have some classy friends. At least some trained in classical guitar. This is Nathan Mills rocking out to Koyunbaba by some fancy old guitar dude.

Where Ya Paper At.

Here's the video for Whoa's 'Where Ya Paper At' featuring Sean Ray, I did a few weeks ago.

TWK x ZOO.

The ACP team headed to the National Zoo for some research and inspiration. Don't let the title fool you, we're just trying to finish off that stupid 'x' symbol people misused and killed a while ago. Now there's nothing like taking a metro. I feel like you can tell a lot about a whole culture of an area, whether it be DC, NY, London, or Tokyo, just by sitting and observing.

More pictures of cute animals and things after the jump.

Norfolk.

We took a ride yesterday towards the beach to go to the mall. Now this wasn't any ordinary mall, they claimed to have ice cream from the future. After the extreme disappointment of a small cup filled with little frozen pebbles, we decided to proceed with what we drove all this way to do. Much like you will proceed from reading about DippinDots to something actually meaningful.

Here we are with Gene Thornton, better known Malice from the Clipse, shooting a quick promotional video for his upcoming college lectures at UVA, W&M and VCU. We tried to switch things up from a backdrop of big black booties to computer repair shop.

Big's Fat Tuesday.

This wasn't your typical Mardi Gras party. That wasn't your typical Mardi Gras band. Hell, we admit this wasn't even our typical SHHO event. This past Tuesday we held an event in honor of Biggie Smalls as well as celebrating Fat Tuesday. We brought out Elby Brass, a brass band from Fredericksburg to hold down the tunes as well as covering a few Biggie hits to hype up the diverse crowd. It was just an experience you had to be there for. Now who doesn't enjoy moshing to Hypnotize played by a brass band while surrounded by a crowd that were probably confused about what was going on the moment they saw a bunch of kids moshing to Biggie played by a brass band surrounded by... You get the point. Anyways, pretty much everyone seemed to have a good time.

RIP BIG.

Trinhity.

This is Kevin. See what I did with the title there? Anyways, if I had to bet money on who would become the fastest self-made millionaire out of VCU in this decade, I'd choose him. Just imagine The Social Network minus all of the dramatizations and replace facebook with something more productive towards advancing human society. Kevin helps run ConcernTrak, an online application that allows clients to track and monitor the performance of a wide variety of products. So in case a company needs to recall all the shipments of their cyanide ridden baby food, they can do that with only a few number of causalities. Useful huh? Did I mention he's the one that built theshho.com?

But in the meantime, him and I alike are just two Asian dudes too smart for school yet too ashamed to drop out. What a dilemma.

Whoa.

This is Whoa and Sean Ray. The music video was for Whoa's Where Ya Paper At where he had some help from Sean Ray's vocals on the hook. We were briskly walking on the bridge for a shot as we stumbled upon on a large sum of money and random herbs and spices. Being the good citizens we are, we notified the officials and proceeded lip synching in the thirty degree weather as passerbys eyed us across the street.

Shaolin vs Wu-Tang: Final Round

1982: Full Contact in Harlem.

I miss this.

So Critical.

I grew up with Rock N Roll. So nothing tickles my fancy more now than a live band and someone like Big K.R.I.T. behind the mic. Check this out.

Another One.

Another trip to New York ended yesterday along with the video shoot. I swear one of these days I'm going to go up there to visit friends and relax instead of having a schedule. Anyways the day began on Friday morning as I visited my least favorite form of transportation.

I swear it's the same people going up with me every time I step into that bus station. You have the family with the little kids, the Chinese drivers and company, the drug movers, the dude that listens to his iPod full blast, the 5% minority that sit in the front and are extremely uncomfortable, and me. Since waking up  to screams and swerves on my last trip up, I can barely sleep on these rides without waking up with every bump on the road.

Shaolin vs Wu-Tang: Round 2

First Day.

After a long weekend of work and an even longer beginning of the week of school, I finally had some time off to enjoy the finer things in life. The lady and I headed towards the grocery store to pick up a few items.

Wandering the organic aisle I remembered and interesting diet called the paleo. The paleo diet refers to the paleolithic era of the cavemen and only allows meat, fruit and vegetables. Basically whatever cavemen ate. That means no processed foods or anything after the agricultural era really. No wheat, grain, bagels, bread, nothing. Sounds pretty interesting but you also have to work out like a cavemen. Google it if you're interested.

Shaolin vs Wu-Tang: Round 1

Raekwon Visits.

Nothing brings together professional filmmakers, hip hop heads, those dirty, filthy Richmond kids (just kidding), and me better then Raekwon the Chef. Being a hip hop loving, filmmaker that skips the occasional shower, I asked my friend/boss Lucas over at The Branching if we could possibly have Rae show up in his currently constructed studio for a short shoot, he gladly answered yes, gave me some lights and opened the doors for me and all of my hoodlum friends.

So I gathered a couple of my good friends to help out with the lavalier mics and to yell out "Quiet on the set for first rehearsal!", and in no time, we were looking like a nice little rag tag film crew. 

Keep checking back for everything we shot and peep more pics after the jump.
