3 Shots With: The Bender (ft. Jean Grae, Jarren Benton, Wax & More) Posted by Nathan S. on 02/26/14 | Filed under Humor, Videos, Wax, 3 Shots With, Sean Falyon, Jean Grae, Thurz

About six months ago I had an idea. I like to drink, I like talking to artists. What if I drank with interesting people on camera? Would that be a thing some people would not completely hate? 

Full disclosure, I had no fucking idea what I was doing when I decided to start "3 Shots With". I was self-conscious about being on camera, how to mic things for sound, where I'd shoot it and most importantly, if anyone would even agree to try this out with me. 

As it turns out, there are some amazing human beings out there who will agree to devote some of their precious time to a drinkerview. Along the way, as I learned to shoot these things through trial and error, I amassed a lot of footage that might never make it to a full interview. Maybe it turned out the sound quality just wasn't right, maybe the lighting was bad, maybe I was too drunk (I was almost definitely too drunk), and I might still be able to flip some of these into full interviews. But in the meantime, there are still some awesome moments that'd be a fucking shame to keep buried, and I wanted to give everyone who was dope enough to give me some of their time a shout out. Hence, "The Bender". 

For people who have never watched a "3 Shots With" before, I hope "The Bender" serves as a dope introduction. For those who have, consider this a Best Of/Director's Cut/Behind the Scenes/Lost Tapes/Cornucopia of Drinkerviewing. 

Huge thanks to Wax, Thurz, Jarren Benton, WillPower, Justin Hunte,Sean Falyon and Jean Grae; I owe all of you (a drink). Huge thanks to everyone whose hard work made this possible, I had by far the easiest job in this entire process.

And of course, thanks to RefinedHype Nation, not just for watching, but for not pulling any punches. I'm about to start filming a new round (pun intended) of "3 Shots With" drinkerviews, and I'm going to use all the feedback I've gotten to make these even better. 

Speaking of which, hit me with your ideal "3 Shots With" guests and I'll work on making it happen. Let's do this....
