One Block Radius Celebrate a “Broke Ass Holiday” (Video)
Posted by Nathan S. on 12/10/09 | Filed under Videos, One Block Radius
It's no secret that times are tough right now, but even with an economy that's shakier than Lindsay Lohan after a night at the clubs, One Block Radius is determined to still celebrate their "Broke Ass Holiday". A L.A. based collective comprised of Marty, MDA and Z-Man, One Block Radius just dropped the visuals to their recent single and whether you're a Goldman Sachs banker or facing a pile of bills, you need to watch "Broke Ass Holiday". On second thought, if you're a Goldman Sachs banker, f**k you.
The Refined Take:
1) Really digging the visuals on this one, particularly the opening shot that zooms into the house and breaks down the door. Some deserved props to the good people at Secret History for that one.
2) Beer and chicken, I don't know what else you could possibly want for Thanksgiving dinner. I also enjoyed the hell out of the Christmas scene - I know more than a couple dudes who would be legitimately stoked to find some weed and Ramen Noodles under the tree.
3) That ring's actually pretty baller. Personally I would have gone with a Ring Pop; it's big enough for her to show off to her friends, plus it's delicious. So win-win for everyone.
4) If you want to talk about a broke ass Halloween costume, for the last few years I've gone as "guy without pants." Basically you wear a suit, complete with shoes, dress socks and a tie, but no pants. It cost absolutely nothing, requires no preparation and, let me tell you, people love it. Feel free to rock "guy without pants" (also known as "cheating politician/businessman") next Halloween. You're welcome.
5) All jokes aside, this is exactly the kind of music, and visuals, we need right now. For more on One Block Radius, definitely check out their site oneblockradiusmusic.com.
