"The Original" ft. Benefit and Mr. Green
"This video was shot when Benefit was visiting NYC for the first official Live from the Streets album release party. We didn't really have a plan but we knew Ben was only here for a couple days so we got busy and shot as much as we could. In addition to this video we also filmed a video for "if i don't go to hell" including cameos from the wonderful Janice. That video will come out down the road as a part of the ongoing Live from the Streets saga. I honestly don't know what the future holds for the show but I know we've created something truly special with LFTS and I know that we aren't even close to finished.
This video is special to me because it features some of the best moments in the Live from the Streets
show over the last couple years along with a couple glimpses into future episodes (like Sean Price and Odb).
It’s also special because it’s my first time rhyming on a real song. Shoutout to the legendary Benefit for hearing me rhyme and then convincing me to jump on a real song. If enough people ask me to I might put out more rhymes... we will see."
