Anybody know what song this is?

West coast late 90s maybe? From one of those compilations maybe?

Maybe heiro? Del?

Anybody know the song that has a verse that starts with this?

It’s killing me right now.

I feel like it’s some mid 90s LA shtuff…

Edit:

Something like: Rappers getting hungry for the money and fame but I just keep doing my thang Dee Dee da da Dee dah dang…

I'm pretty amped about the design recalling old VHS tapes. But will it get me work?

I know it's suggested in this business to find your lane and stick to it -- i.e. music videos only, or vertical/social only, or trailers only. Does everyone agree this is a hard and fast rule? Or is there benefit to showing adaptability?

Also, a lot of this work is self-produced. Is that a big red flag?

Thanks for having a look!

SILENT FILM MAKERS!

Hey film friends! The Brooklyn Silent Film Fest is accepting entries for our Fall 2026 program!

In our fest we pair your silent film with an indie band / musician / producer to compose an original score which they perform live during the screening.

Films need to be your work. Newish. 1 min to 20 min.

Please help spread the word as we are a grassroots organization with limited funding and resources.

Hope to see you there!

I this episode, Jason Calacanis (and to some extent Bradley Tusk) several times build a flawed case that a wealth tax “puts a target on the backs of the wealthy.” They support this with allusions to the Mangione case.

Let me say that Mangione didn’t do what he did just because Brian Thompson was wealthy—he did it because the CEO of UnitedHealthcare got wealthy at the cost of the good of his customers. Mangione was making a statement about the iniquity of the health insurance industry where people are occluded from treatments and medicine that they need because it comes at the cost of board members’ coffers.

The public rancor with the wealth gap has less to do with the gap and more to do with how Capitalism puts a company’s bottom line above the good of the people.

Let rich people be rich. Let poor people find a way to get rich. American is about people dreaming and working to elevate their financial status and create generational wealth.

What makes a regular hard working American pick up a weapon and do something like Mangione (vilify and target the rich) is when we find out that Johnson & Johnson knew it was putting cancer agents on children and did nothing, when we find out that a service we pay into that is supposed to protect us is actually doing everything in its legal power not to provide the service, when we find out that someone is KNOWINGLY getting rich off of our and our children’s suffering AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT.

When the Justice system fails to protect the people in order to protect the corporations (Citizens United)— this seeds a desperation that is dangerous to society as a whole.

FCBD brought us to the local haunts and I helped him pick a few titles— Avengers, Spidey, etc.

And I was so excited. And so was he.

So he took them out of the plastic. And I held my breath. And he bent the spine. And I silently gasped.

And then we read them together. And I avoided adult themes as best I could—aside from scarlet witch’s unavoidable lingerie supersuit.

And now the cover has been removed. And we’re both still excited To flip through the pages And the old toy ads

So I threw the plastic away. It was a dollar comic anyway. And reading them with him is priceless.
