Here comes the god

I can't quite figure out this guy by the name of Phil Reid also known as "Phil the god". I came across his work while watching Diggy Simmons' mixtape video "Made U Look" and apparently he has directed and edited a couple of raw videos for well known and up and coming artist. He is not quite on the mainstream scene yet but he is definitely coming soon. He's gonna give directors like Hype Williams, Billy Woodruff, and Chris Robinson a run for the money. Look out fellas you got some serious competing coming. This dude is on the road to greatness. I'm diggin his cinematography and rough cuts....very inspiring.

I must acknowledge greatness when I come across it and these things are it! This is the perfect introduction to the summer...hel-lo lover.

Metropolis: A Land Before Our Time



Ever wondered how Janelle Monae came up with the theme to her previous and new album? Monae's creativity was inspired by an old 1920's classic called "Metropolis", a silent German science fiction film. Writer/ Novelist Thea von Harbou and director Fritz Lang created a movie taken place in the year of 2026. A futuristic film that highlights the control of computers, the power of the elite class, and the inhuman struggle of society as middle class become extinct, leaving only upper and lower class. Does any of this sound familiar? Think about it? This movie is the original "Matrix" and "Blad Runner". A classic masterpiece and head of it's time. Mark my words sooner or later Hollywood will attempt to remake this movie into a Blockbuster hit. Now how does Janelle Monae's concept have to do with the film? Instead of telling you I suggest to those who are interested, listen to Janelle Monae's previous and new album and read the the Novel "Metropolis" written by Thea von Harbou. There is a world of knowledge within these two sources. It's not hard to find...you just have to listen and observe. Be Inspired people.

Shingai Shoniwa's Style

Shingai Shoniwa is a fashionable inspiration. Besides being the lead singer of the ever-so-amazing British indie rock band the Noisettes, she makes sure to strut her stuff in style on and off stage. Looking like a Nubian queen she combines sultry colors and unique patterns to fit her little frame. And to top off her look she manages to empress viewers with a crown-like up do...perfect for a queen.





















Hear the sounds of Shingai and her band the Noisettes on the group's myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/noisettesuk or check out their website thenoisettes.com
