The Real Simon Legault

So I had to make a short documentary-style film for my video class, and my first idea didn't turn out so well, so this is what I did instead and I'm pretty stoked on the results. Its totally fictional, although it was supposed to be a real person. Well, in all actuality, both people in the video keep it pretty real. So mad respect to both Dave and Tyler for helping me out. And I gotta give credit to Peachhat for the credits cuz I borrowed his idea for them. It was pretty sick and the prof loved it.

Enjoy.

UGK 4 Life

On another note, the new UGK album is released in 6 days. I can't even think of anything more Real than that right now.

A KiD Named CuDi

So I'm not too sure if everyone knows about this guy already, as he was featured twice on Kanye's 808s & Heartbreak, or from his single Day 'n' Nite, but he deserves to be listened to. So if you haven't heard his work already, check out his mixed tape. It's called A KiD Named CuDi and it's a pretty awesome listen. He's releasing a debute album sometime in the summer. I'll be looking forward to it.

Real Talk.

This is a link to his free mixed tape: http://www.10deep.com/KIDCUDIMIXTAPE/

The KiD CuDi vs. Crookers mix Day 'n' Nite official video. It is definitely worth a watch. Some serious talent in the one. I'm serious struggling right now and can't get the embedding to work so just check out the links.

Real Text

It's a well known fact that Hip-hop artists are frequently trying to Keep It Real. They'll make reference to how gangsta they are, or even making up new words to represent their true realness ("Trill"). A classic example of Keepin' It Real was displayed recently by NORE on Jimmy Kimmel's show, while performing with Toronto-based MSTRKRFT. NORE actually checked his text messages while in the middle of performing. That is mind blowing realness right there. Jimmy Kimmel wasn't too impressed though.

Check it.

ya shit gon be on fire but it work

So a friend recently had a status update on facebook concerned with the personal hygiene issues of today's male snowboarding youth. She raises a valid point. So does Ghostface Killa. Check it out.

Shamrock Day?

What the fuck is Shamrock Day you ask? Well, it's apparently what some people want to call St. Patrick's Day. Now, I have a bit of Irish in my bloodline I suppose, but I'm by no means Irish. Nor am I a huge fan of St. Patrick's Day, although it is an excuse to drink so how could I not appreciate it? Apparently the title St. Patrick's Day is offensive to some, therefore it should be called Shamrock Day, so everyone can celebrate celtic heritage. Seriously though, who celebrates a cultural heritage by drinking food colouring and beer and irish car bombs all day? It's St. Patrick's Day. Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

The First 'Real' Real Talk Post

Alright, so here it is. The very first Real Talk post. Now its the first real Real Talk post for a few reasons. The first being that, apparently, my virgin blog post was deflowered by some ninja hijacker. The second reason being that there are a few other blogs on this world wide web, and more specifically within this blogging community claiming to be a blog about their philosophical view of "Real Talk", but really failing to stay true to the ideology of just keepin' it mothafuckin' real!! So basically that's whats going down here. Just call me the President of Keepin' IT Real.

Now that's Real Talk.

Sincerely,

The President

hahahah.
hijacked.
