VIDEO PREMIERE: beyonce - formation

beyonce - formation
[UPDATE 2/7: damn! beyonce DID perform this female empowerment anthem at the superbowl! told you she could do anything!!]
i highly doubt beyonce will perform this politically charged surprise song at her superbowl 50 appearance tomorrow, but it's beyonce, she can do anything!

love the images by director melina matsoukas? well all day today there was a bit of a credit scandal (which has been resolved) by the influence of images taken from the awesome bounce doc by chris black & abteen bagheri below. all is fixed, new orleans sissy bounce gets a nice namecheck, still no queens (but bey) in sight. all is blessed.
that b.e.a.t. doc [WATCH THIS!!]

VIDEO PREMIERE: justin timberlake - not a bad thing

justin timberlake - not a bad thing
using the documentary style format for the video, it's kind of weird to me that the 'storyline' is more important than the song itself. just saying... maybe the reveal is a performance piece of the song?

[cutie patootie dj/producer diplo has always been a favorite of wongie and for the past year he's been showcasing his directorial side by self releasing the lifestyle doc favela on blast (see below). he talks more about his film interests in this lovely profile piece on the day in the life of diplo. didn't think it was possible, but i heart him more now!]
