We Are Not Musicians

My latest video was inspired by well-known Youtuber, Mystery Guitar Man. The idea just came to me and the song was inspired by the rain, just a way to make sense of it all. Granted, I'm not musical prodigy, but in some ways, music has had a small, but intricate part in my life.

Most of you don't know this, but I had a small rap career back in my freshman year of college. My roommate and I formed the rap group, "New Playas," and to us, we were a hit (well to us, at least)

My rap name was simply "V-Jay." Me and him came out with a rap demo and everything. We were proud of our success rapping off of my microphone and laptop. My biggest musical inspiration at that time was Kanye West. I was all Kanye everything when I started college and I tried to emulate that through raps and poetry. I even tried going solo and tried making my own album. After some more episodes of rapping glory with some other friends, I put up my musical boots and got more involved with my passion of video-making. I knew my days of my amateur rap career was over.

Fast forwarding to last year, when I started making videos on Youtube, I realized that in order to make my channel more interesting, I would act as my favorite artist. By throwing on some shades and a cardigan, I became Kanye West, which lead to creating my first music video ever.



After working with Joshen, we realized that making music was the way to go in order to go viral on the internet. Parodies were the name of the game and that lead to other hits such as "Ball In A Cup" and the "H.A.M." parody





With these musical pieces out in the universe and more to come, I realize that my early rap career may never be relived, but through Youtube, there may be a way to live up to my musical roots and make them flourish. Until I pick up the mic again, you'll have to stay tuned.

Jeans, Balls and Gold!!!

Hey guys, been a while, blah, blah, blah... let's jump into it.

I'm sitting here with Joshen waiting for the last episode of WLOG in order to find 10,000 buried somewhere in the city.



For those who haven't been aware of this, there is free money buried somewhere in NYC, on some treasure hunt ish, and Video Reborn is trying to be on it and find that gold pronto. It has caused us to be a lil antsy with anticipation, but for now, all we can do is wait.

Yesterday, we continued shooting out viral music video in Manhattan, which is coming along slowly but surely. We found some random Spanish people in the street that helped us with the shooting and if I could remember their names, I would send a huge thanks their way.

As for me, I'm continuing to make my weekly videos, which I'm so proud of. It's crazy how life could just give you all sorts of ideas and scripts for some amazingly hilarious things and this video is no different. My latest video ties in NYC's Fashion week and the ridiculous style that is sagging jeans and makes fun of how people rock it.

It was weird seeing myself with my pants low, but I wanted to get my message across somehow. More creative things to come, as always. Until you read again.
