    Lotta great aspects of this vid. I dig the lighting and locations. I also enjoyed seeing all the regular people I assume are family and friends from the community.

    The scene at the podium seemed a little abrupt, and the story line inside the office. I would have liked to have seen that carry more throughout the piece instead of just a little at the beginning and towards the end, unless you were just trying to foreshadow it, which I didn't really feel.

    This just seems a lot more real than a lot of rap/hip hop videos I see these days. Nice work.

  • Gist, a.k.a The Essence is a solid come-up. I caught this video on his site last year and loved it -- enjoying the HD edit. Solid work and visuals/story by Team Guerrilla Films.

    Take it from a fat old white dude with absolutely no understanding of hiphop-- this is a strong, well lit, well composed and compelling video, beautiful colors and great looking backgrounds... like the positive message too.. :-)
  • lol thanks for the love man, that's the beauty of life, art is always appreciated no matter the relations, good art is accepted worldwide. Check out our other videos works they are just as nice, tell me what you think.
  • Dave Perkins 2 years ago
    Well you guys are definitely artists. :-)

    This video ought to be playing in schools... it's good enough to distribute, strong enough to make kids think about the right things. I hope you guys make it big. You have the touch.

    great job Team Guerilla. loved the video and the song.

    As a NY hip-hop head born and raised in Queens, it's nice to see something like this coming up from NY today.

    Easily the best rap video I've ever seen. Certainly among the best music videos I've seen, too. Simple, and absolutely gorgeous.
    The track is excellent too. This is just great, all the way around!

    Love this video, positive message, simple, clean imagery, and it all adds up to a beautiful end-product. Gist's hand gestures really punctuate the lyrics. nice to hear good rap with a positive message. I've had the video up on my blog for a while now since I like it so much, I'm looking forward to your future work, you guys have such obvious talent.

    Great shooting, color correction, etc. The Pro 35 looks really nice.
  •  
  • hey bro i was wondering about your color correction, did you use 1 color tone for the whole video or did you have to adjust it on some level
