Notes to Self – All of the Above (Official Video)

Platurn — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:50:59 +0000

The homies ‘Notes To Self’ up in Toronto have a new video out and it’s dope — support that real shit!

Feeling like Frontiersman, we grew our beards and arrived in Mactier at 7:30pm. Cold as f*ck. 4 hour drive North. Pitch black outside. Cabin smelled like pine and rosé. Dropped our bags, chose our beds, Bronze took the air mattress. Half hour till the NBA Dunk-Off. Donk was geeked. Flat screen, satellite, middle-of-nowhere. Heats on. Lee is lit. Drunk off Timbits. Blake Griffin jumps over a car. Here to shoot a music video.
Eric suggested we charge the equipment. Didn’t knock on wood. Inexcusable in a cabin. Power went out. Cold as f*ck. Pitch black inside. Cabin smelled like weed and sulfur. Dropped our plans, went to bed, Bronze froze on the air mattress. 5 hours till daylight. Rosh is lit. Left-over Timbits for breakfast. Last night Blake Griffin jumped over a car. Here to shoot a music video, with Ben to direct. A take on rap’s pioneers, we planned to wear fur. The events that followed were captured on camera; All of the Above took place. This is a true story. *No animals were harmed in the making of this video.

1/2 of EPMD lays down one of his classic Erick Sermon tracks! I always thought Erick Sermon and Rick Rock had similar flavors. Both of them are a couple of my favorite producers.
