Blu Collar Worker: The Video Part 2

So anyways, I probably should have mentioned in part 1 that the concept of the video revolves around Blu’s (and Exile’s) day to day life and interactions with women. Anyways, back to the shoot…
After a long day and night of prep work, scouting locations, dealing with unexpected complications and a late night blog, day 2 started bright and early with… a two hour delay in renting a crucial lense we needed to start filming. Not being the type to waste time, we picked up a big box of free gear (big up Akomplice, 10 Deep, Estate LA and Strictly Fitteds for all blessing us for the shoot, thanks again) and the crew headed over to get things setup at our first location, Blu’s house and soon after the lense showed up.
To quote one of the dudes on the crew “it looks like an art director already came through here”. Blu’s spot has mad flavor (you’ll see in the video), from the recording setup/corner with taped up rhymes to his beatmaking setup (you didn’t know Blu had beats? Just wait…) to the retro decorations and classic fishing poles (!!!!!).

Blu Collar Worker: The Video Part 1

Every other day or so I find myself talkin about how “my life is crazy, I couldn’t make this shit up”. Here’s an example:A few months back I linked up a group of friends of mine including director Aaron Rosenbloom, video producer Exile Ramirez (of “Lean Back” fame, not Dirty Science), international boss Eric Maitrepierre (aka France) and Blu & Exile (of Dirty Science, not “Lean Back” fame)’s crew, fast forward to now and I’m sittin here at Free Speech’s spot in LA after prepping for the “Blu Collar Workers” video all day/night, blogging when I should be sleeping (it’s 4:25 AM and the next two days of the shoot are packed). Anyways, I somehow became an executive producer for the project (the first of two CRAZY projects I’m workin on with Blu) and figured I’d share my experience with y’all. So much more to come, we’ve only just begun (c) Skateboard P, cheers…
Me, diggin’ for a few gems (yes, those are records…old fashioned non-serato records, some of us still like them) while scouting locations in LA earlier today. Big ups France on the pic.
