Hip-Hop, Videos | Mac Miller – Clarity [Music Video]

Posted by on May 2, 2012

Mac is back with the always creative Ian Wolfson of Rex Arrow Films for his newest video, “Clarity” off his Macadelic mixtape.  Mac’s last video, “Thoughts From A Balcony” didn’t quite cut it for me, despite my love for that song, as he decided to give director Justin Boyd a shot at the show.  Lacking the creative edge we see time and time from Rex Arrow, this video is back to the standard I expect from Mac.  Trippy, yes.  Abstract, yes.  Unlike any other of Mac’s video, yes.  Macadelic, yes.  Even if you aren’t particularly fond of the song itself, embrace the Mac.

Hip-Hop, Interviews, Videos | Logic – Young Sinatra: Undeniable [Exclusive Interview]

Posted by on May 1, 2012

A couple weeks back I had the opportunity to meet Logic, interview him, and see him perform as the headliner at a benefit concert for the Dance For Paralysis foundation. Above and beyond that, Logic brought the new age of hip-hop into one of the most storied restaurant franchises, The Hard Rock Cafe, and left his heart on the stage. Prior to the show, I sat down with Logic and asked him anything and everything from growing up, to passion for Frank Sinatra, to Kevin Durant’s tweets, to his favorite color. For all those responses and more, watch the video above. What you may or may not extract from the interview is Logic’s sincerity, passion, love, devotion, appreciation and respect for all, molded into the articulate and professional young man and artist he has become. Truly the most personable and enjoyable interview I have ever conducted.
