About the video:
We landed in Newark & took a ride on the monorail (we were sofa-king wo' out!)... we were headed to our lil come-up-room located right in the heart of Manhattan. At check-in the front desk told us, "the price you were quoted is for rooms on the 13th floor... the one that's under construction for the duration of your stay... but don't worry! All hotel rooms on that floor are completely renovated & we'll even throw in a free-breakfast voucher for each morning of your stay"... we were like wtf?? Then she dangled a warm, freshly-baked, chocolate-chip-walnut cookie in front of our faces. Pbbbbbbb...Done deal!
At first, HavMax was pretty salty about it, but actually once inside, the rooms weren't bad at all. It even became amusing finding the new developments each day walking back to our room -> NITE ONE= no carpet & no wallpaper. NITE TWO= carpet! NITE THREE= new wallpaper up... and so on. It's amazing how something as simple as carpet can make a huge difference when it comes to sound-absorbancy ;D
Anywho, the rally-scene was randomly captured as we rolled up on it & decided to jump in. We could hear a dope public-enemy-sounding emcee in the distance but couldn't see the stage from where we were standing, so we made our way through the crowd toward the stage for a better look. There we spotted the homies Bling Crosby & the Rebel Diaz crew, so immediately we fell right into the mix while muffoccurs went hard for the rally. They even took it to the streets & marched all the way through Chinatown. Shit was crazy, but peaceful... everybody was soaring with love-energy, even the babies.
The final scene was shot on a quiet Brooklyn street where we rolled up on a dude selling old albums & CDs for $2 apiece. He was pretty bored because nobody really buys CDs & albums anymore, so we stopped to chat with dude for a sec. He told us about how each weekend you can find him posted up, selling music in front of his momma's house. He even asked us to hold down the fort a sec while he ran inside. We were like "wow, OK... that's random as hell" lol, but dude's vibe was positive, so we didn't mind. The hilarity was watching Tshurhad Chivas interact with all the foot-traffic, calling out dude's sales pitches like "CD'S, RECORDS, 3 FOR $5 OR ONLY $2 EACH"... only in New York, lol
