  1. Wow....I don't like that word, and don't like hearing it, but from just what I read there, it's not like it was a gratuitous use, or one just casually throwing it out there. It was designed to further conversation and discussion on the subject, and enlighten the children on why they shouldn't use that word.

    Reminds me of the old series South Central with Larenz Tate.

    He used the word b1tch to describe some music video girl, and his mother came down on him because of it, and it opened a discussion on men using that word and he was like, "It's just an adjective...girl...woman...b1tch."

    And they cracked down on that show too and it was soon gone from the air.

  2. just watched it again...very good. I would like to see if you could touch it up a bit...there's one moment I saw that seemed like the video clip shoulda been pushed back a bit.

    Where he says "Why did my brother Sterling have to die at that age" he thumps his chest where he's wearing the Mandela shirt on, which was referenced in the previous line of "Why did Mandela have to live in a cage"

    In the live version he places his hand on his chest as he says the word "Mandela"

    Just something that I never noticed the first time but I noticed this time.

    And if you could find some more clips to add, so you don't have that one sequence repeating three times it would probably improve this a lot.

    Now, that being said. I have zero talent. I realize that and realize that it takes a lot of talent (in my eyes) to do something like this. So that's not a dig at you or a "Man, why can't you do better than this?" because it's done well...very well.

    I'd just LOVE to see a finished version. You said yourself that it woulda taken a few more days to do it and you were probably amped to finish it. Now that you've had a break, I think you could do it even better (as this song deserves a bomb @$$ video) and really hit the emotional pitches on this song. I LOVE the Independence Day and Bad Boy clips where they are placed. VERY nice! the bomb hitting right as he said "The bombs dropped" was spot on, and I kinda chuckled when I saw the BET MOVIE AWARDS clip of Will, Jada and the kids.

    Just some thoughts is all.

  3. if Will ain't playing him (and I realize he can't) there's no point in it.

    It's like the remake of Back to School coming out. Why would you remake that movie without Rodney? Even though Rodney was a producer on it or something and it was HIS idea, I still think that's a WRONG thing to do.

    There's some things you just don't do. Like that sadass version of Brian's Song that came out.

    You can't mess with the original.
