Well...I've never shot a video before. And I think for producing the beat...writing the lyrics...mixing and mastering the track...Filming, directing & video editing the whole project...that I didn't do too bad of a job. Especially putting it all together in about a 2 week time frame...I wouldn't say I did too bad. Normally I only write, record, mix and master. I'm not one to normally work in the producer, director & video editor areas. But I will admit I had alot of fun doing it. I promise my next video will be alot better though...give me credit on this one. lol

Hmmm...am I the first artist on Illest to ever submit a video!?

Well...lemme know what u guys think. Thanks.

For a first video, this was cool. Seemed low budget, but I was feeling the lyrics and the beat.
Good luck with the contest.

that was a good first video man good job....a lil peice of advice tho i saw u grabbin ur shirt when i could see ur wholebody u should stop that and use ur hands a lil bit more and get into the music better.....but otha than that it was a good first video.....stay up

not bad man, good job, the song was dope n video was well put together

Honestly, I didn't like it.. and here's the reason why..

Making a video is all about being creative.. having the right camera angles.. filming yourself aint really that creative.. and the angles u chose won't act in your favour.. u should rather choose an angle that enhances your greatness, like ur sayin: I'm not braggin, i'm really that good..that menas shooting yourself from below.. cause lookin at the parking lot scene (where u shoot from above) i got sorta of a "lil dude tryna make something, but fails" video.. lol.. if u got time, i would've done it again.. but kept some of the scenes.. like the one in the booth and the notebook idea.. that was dope.. cause just lookin at you standin there spittin to the beat gets boring.. i turned it off halfways the first time.. and i'm not being a dick.. i'm juss tryin to help u man, talkin from my gut.. especally in the beginnin, that just doesn't work for me.. that's really one of the times where filming yourself do work.. as a sorta of an intro.. i'd also prolly taken a lot of pictures of the city, or your hood.. with your homies.. but not do a game video.. this kinda got a bit messy.. but do u see where i'm goin with this?

guess starring Viral and HKX...for like 4 seconds!

i thought the video was pretty good for your first time. The songs also growing on me. I sounds better the more i hear it.
