The Phaded Life

Life And Times...

One of my inspirations in the game

DJ Quik Interview from the early 90’s

Sir Michael Rocks - Coochie Crook

“Hit It One Time And I Know She Hooked”

Erykah Badu - Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long

This is one of my favorite songs from her latest album, New Amerykah II.

MLK Jr.’s Last Speech… and one of my personal favorites… I felt like he knew his “time” was coming and this speech was his way of defiantly looking fate into the eye… 

Sammy Davis Jr. - Sam By George

Old Sa-Ra Interview with VAMPD… One of my favorite groups… Dig it

Pharrell @ Art Basel, Miami… Damn I wish I was at a level of artistic reverence where I could just fly out to these dope events and get it in… 

B.I.G. in the studio

What could’ve been… I’m glad Hov took the reigns

Muchmusic Interview with Pharrell 

The Master - Stanley Kubrick

The Master - Stanley Kubrick

Sammy Davis Jr. - I Gotta Be Me

I mean, who else can I be BUT me?

Frank Lloyd Wright interview (1957)

The Notorious B.I.G. from 1995’s The Show

The very last part of the interview where he mentions the creation of Suicidal Thoughts is pretty interesting especially in light of his demise and the reason behind it. 

P.S.

I saw NOTORIOUS last night and the script sucked.

Bruce Lee’s Screen Test For The Green Hornet

Bruce Lee is more than inspiration to me. I look to him as a teacher as his discipline was truly one of a kind and the intensity of his focus truly boggles the mind. With anything that you love  in life whether it be your craft or a relationship, dedication and devotion is key. 

P.S. 

Nobody can or could fuck with Bruce Lee… Ask Russell Simmons… I mean, Chuck Norris (I listened to Ether today).
