Shabazz'd


I was going to say this was perfect for a sticky, hot afternoon walking the city streets where you randomly see an ice cream truck and decide it's been too long since you've had one of those snowcones with the gumball at the bottom.
   I was going to say that... until I read this:
This video contains footage from the upcoming documentary by Village Beat titled Tough Bond — a film about kids sniffing glue to survive street life in Kenya’s disappearing villages and exploding urban slums.
Original documentary score was provided by Shabazz Palaces
Learn more about the film and cause at Village Beat.org

And if I'm on a Shabazz Palaces kick then I might as well post his Belhaven Meridian video.
An allegorical short film/music video beautifully shot on 35mm black & white film in Watts, Los Angeles, "Belhaven Meridian" is a one-shot homage to Charles Burnett's 1977 classic KILLER OF SHEEP.
