OkkkkkkSoooooo I must admit, I am a "UGG BOOT Wearer". Yes... I am 1 of those females that damn near worships these warm, comfy, durable....yet...* not very stylish boot. I mean I will be totally honest... UGGS...are mos def not 1 of the cutest forms of footwear out here. Yes the colors are attractive, and the quality of the UGG boot alone is like no other. Yet no matter if I decided to plant my feet in the ankle boots, or tall boots...the shape will never change...they still look like "moon boots" or "lego boots". Every year I purchase a pair of UGGS, and every year I say to myself "sheesh...they've gotta make these boots more practical and stylish". I mean I can become a real b*tch if youstep on my 3's, let alone my all suede UGG boots. Scuffing an UGG boot is mos def 1 of the most disrespectful things you can do to this AUSTRALIAN JUGGERNUT. The all suede texture is not very practical, even tho the boot itself is waterproof. Jus when I felt like I may be over my UGG boot fettish...just when I started to search for something better....I ran across the new UGG ADIRONDACK boot!!!!
This UGG ADIRONDACK boot is all of my boot fantasies rolled into 1 fantastic dream. Not only did UGG listen when us women suggested that we would like a practical boot, but also a boot with the same warmth, comfort, and longevity that the originalUGG boot offered. The ADIRONDACK is tough with it's waterproof full grain leather, warm with it's sheepskin lining, and also has a super cute cuff that can be rolled up or down depending on your fashion taste. As if UGG didn't give us a FOOTFUL, they also produced the boot with a replaceable insole!!!! These boots are somewhat pricey, but the price tag is well worth the high quality, durability, and design!!!! I loveeeee these ADIRONDACK's!!!!XOXO
OkkkkkkkSooooooo during 1 of my many...random adventures...I found myself in a place where I was almost positive...I wasn't going to see anything I had never seen before. Yet again...this funny thing called"life"...proved me wrong. As I jumped out the car to a lil house ...that I was not familiar with...I called the phone...like "yoooo open up the garage I'm outside". As the garage door creaked open...moving bout as slow as ketchup outta Heinz bottle...I saw a pair of sneakers...no biggie...average white sneakers, as the door crawled towards the end of it's journey...I noticed a pair of skinny jeans...still...no biggie...I mean...most people I hang with dress similar. It wasn't until the old garage door stalled...before reaching it's destination...that I noticed...the guy standing before me...wasn't who I was expecting. My eyes slowly scanned the feet again...and when my eyes finally reached the face...connected to the super skinny body...I blinked twice. A tall skinny white guy....with a head full of thick blonde hair and pullover stood staring at me. "Yo wat's up...come on in...this dumb door get's stuck sometimes"....I introduced myself...and suddenly...the stranger flashed a smile., extended his hand n said "Cool...I'm Mike".
It was just like that....that I metMIKE CLUM. At this point in MIKE CLUM'S life...I feel as though...he needs more of an introduction...something grand...something more form fitting to the new found respect and fame he has consumed through his creative genius, and hardwork. MIKE CLUM isn't just "Mike", as he often introduces himself. MIKE CLUM...has single handedly reformed music videos for all musicians in Cleveland, L.A, and many other cities. Some may think...from the work he produces...that he has a 100 member team helping him. Yet when I walked into the video shoot for Ray Cash I was intrigued, as well as hungrily curious....because MIKE CLUM...was doing it all by himself. Not only was he doing the video shoot by his lonesome...he was in total control of his work space. He quietly walked from room to room, the whole time his camera in his hand. I sat back and like I usually do...sank into a seat on the couch...and began to absorb my surroundings.
MIKE CLUM is mos def bout his business. The video shoot mos def could have gone 2 ways. I mean he was shooting a video for friggin RAY CASH outta all people. That alone shows that MIKE CLUM has a superb track record. RAY CASH is a perfectionist, I mean he's done videos a million times. MIKE CLUM could have chose to totally takeover, not listen to the artist, and shoot with no vision, no concept or without any meaning to the song....yet..MIKE CLUMchose to take a different approach. He listened to RAY CASH, and at the same time...he gave pointers on lighting, and sound, colors, and even texture...he assertively suggested things that would or would not work. The whole time moving...moving around....MIKE CLUM keeps it moving. There is no stalling or stopping...it's all business for him...and he keeps an eye on his watch. I literally watched MIKE CLUM...set up a whole video shoot, in a small space. NO NO NO...he is not just another "stereotypical white guy with a camera". He's super professional...and awesomely creative. Some directors just shoot, but MIKE CLUM actually has a passion for music, which comes across thru his videos. He's the total package when it comes to services in video and production.
As time went on....the usual vibe was cast upon the room....I mean...good music, the most beautiful green tree ever puffed...and creative energy. I was amazed at the strength this skinny dude had. I mean most people would have fallen under the pressure of a room full of people... offering tree, and some people do things just to fit in. But MIKE CLUM...is far from "typical". He's not trying to "fit-in"...he has no reason to. He's shooting his own shots. It was comforting and genuine the way he can walk into a room full of people...that are very much different from him, and automatically blend in, and find the common factor that brings most of us together...music...and videos.MIKE CLUM checked his 3 point lighting, he came ready with smoke machines, filters, and hella other tricks in his bag. MIKE CLUM does a delicious job of providing musical artists...with some of the most amazing visuals! The visuals aren't just visuals. MIKE CLUM has mastered editing and visual effects to a "T".
I mean this guy has worked with most of CLEVELAND's major artists such as Ray Cash, PAPA FLOW, Ray Jr, MSTACKS, Big Heff ,even Taylor Gang...and holds the title of director for the Ohio Hip Hop Awards documentary, not to mention...but I will...he does personalized social media marketing solutions for small to medium businesses....*whew!!!! That's hella work being accomplished....and jus think...all of this...is being done...by a guy...who is only19 years old!!!!!! Don't let his youth fool ya! I've never seen a more self-confident, creative, assertive, responsible.....and hungry go getter!! When I say hungry...I mean MIKE CLUM is hungry...he's mos def WORKIN. He doesn't hesitate to reach out to some of the biggest artists on social media, and his networking skills alone are worth their weight in film. I mean his roster just keeps climbing. 1 of the most beneficial things going for Mike Clum...is his originality , and willingness to think outside of the box. He doesn't limit himself to just 1 type of artist, he has worked with not only the Best of the Best, but then he works with high profile clients for major companies. With his cliental building faster than the Horseshoe Casino, his own company he co-founded taking off CanterburyCinema taking off...MIKE CLUM is mos def someone you will eventually need...if you are interested in having the highest quality videos shot, or if you are interested in having the most unique,creative visuals for your business or music created for you...and your fans, then Mike Clum is your go to guy! MIKE CLUM WILL SHOOT YOU!!!XOXO

Besides being just sooo friggin AWESOME, BELLA NAE gives us the 411 on her upcoming projects, fashion, TURN UP favorites and everything under the sun!!!!

Mannnnnnn...this have to be some of the funniest sh*t I've seen in awhile. Unless you are of those "stuck up", uptight, defensive rappers....you will mos def be able to find the humor in these paradoy videos. I stumbled across them and can't stop watching! I will admit....sometimes when I watch "Rap Battles" I often...feel a little not "hip -hop"...maybe becuase I feel like...some of these battles ...aren't very battle-ish...*yeah I made up that word headroll fingasnap. Most of the rap battles, are in a location...where there are groups of "fans"...which often seem biased from the jump. You have the stereotypical crowd...that ooohhhhhh's and awwwwww's at every line that's spit...even though you are watching at home like.."uhhhhhhhh that was kinda wack". The use of props has become popular in most of these battles as well...and these videos do not hold back...at making fun of props, crowd particiaption, titles, winners, and just the rap battle experience as a whole. Trust me...these videos are fu*kin HILARIOUS!!!Mr. Deshawn Raw does an excellent job at providing us with a humorous paradoy on hip-hop. With a cameo from Chris Rock, andhimself...you already know that the situation is comical, stereotypical, and all based around truth lol. Check out these videos....super funny!!!

I'm sure the next concert will mos def make up for this 1!!!! XOXO
OkkkkkkSoooooo....of course I expected nothing less than genius from OKC'sCHRIS MCCAIN when I got hold of his "Jordans And A Gold Chain" video. I mean CHRIS MCCAIN's visuals for his music...mos def go hand and hand together...like Jessie and Joey on Full House, or salad and breadsticks at Olive Garden, or like Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls *you get my point head roll fingasnap. Speaking of Michael Jordan*bows head and pays respect*CHRIS MCCAIN pays homage to the Legendary MJ in his "Jordans And A Gold Chain" video. Not only does CHRIS MCCAIN tease all of us sneaker heads with damn near every kinda Jordan released...on the feet of all of his eclectically dressed posse on the basketball court. He also reps OKC the city where he is from, and proudly displays in all of his videos. Just when you think "Jordans And A Gold Chain" can't get anymore AMAZING...basketballs newest phenomSTEVIE CLARK makes a killer cameo! Even if you aren't from OKC...you've mos def heard of STEVIE CLARK. Representing OKC, STEVIE CLARK is a shooting beast, playing Point Guard for Douglas H.S, he provides excitement and anticipation in CHRIS MCCAIN's "Jordans And A Gold Chain". Watchin 2 people that are sure to go big , and both reppin OKC, is entertaining and must be respected.CHRIS MCCAINraises the bar once again, outdoing himself with his smooth and effortless lyrics, laid-back delivery, and contagious visuals. Wether your a sports fan, music fan or sneaker fan...this video is a triple threat!CHRIS MCCAIN "Jordans And a Gold Chain"!!!XOXO
