Straight Gangrene “Bug Out” shit in Venice…
May 22, 2012
Yesterday I was at ALC's crib in Los Angeles . We were chillin sharing links, smoking Girl Scout Cookies, and making fun of each others grey hairs mostly. I was sitting on the couch facing his Board, which faces the wall. Hung above his shit is a large flat screen playing his Security Cameras. AL's on some rap shit, and has cameras pointed out side, into the parking lot, and down the hall at the front door of his palatial studio in Venice Beach, in theory to keep the chain snatchers and Rap Police away I guess....
Now, the marijuana in California is extremely strong, and at AL's extremely plentiful. And at some point between the John Baldessari Films, and the "New Wave Collage" song structures, the conversation took a turn towards cheap "especially not giving a fuck" type music videos. It struck me, staring at the parking lot on the huge television, "we should shoot a video with these security cameras that are always rolling anyways...." Alan then spun in his large chair and gave the "I'm light years ahead of you dudebro" look, clicked around youtube for a moment and showed me this.
The first ever GANGRENE video. Starring ALC, Oh-No, and EVidence. The story goes, they made this rad ass instrumental one late night at Al's studio, tripped on the same "Security Camera" concept I just had, and decided to shoot it.
The only rule, each artist try and "OUT DO" the other with wild nonsense... EVidence went to the Lincoln Blvd. Camera, Alan out to the parking lot, and Oh-No ran down the hall towards the inside camera.
So... Here.
(Personally I think Ev won with the random street walker interaction, enjoy.)
