I kinda got myself in trouble, but still support buddy



So, um, I learned a lesson earlier this week: get in where you fit in.  I came across this video from a friend's Facebook page, and made a bit of a critical remark about it.  Wrong place, wrong time.  Dude's fan base is on point.  I got treated quick.  On the plus side, Bo Deal and another homeboy held me down, kinda toning things down.

I respect grind, though.  So show some love for the homie Bo Deal.  He's doing big things, and has a lot of love from his fans.  Check his Facebook; you can take it from there.  And I would spin it in uHeard, but I don't have the necessary permission; I don't know Waka like that, and don't need any problems.

Shout out to the girl Tanika, too.  We in da building.

Acting is harder than it looks

uHeard on the set of Young Anarchists.

I did a little acting in college, but never really took it serious; I wanted to be behind the camera.  This uHeard thing, however, is opening old doors - sometimes violently.  Okay, so that might be a bit extreme, but I was really unprepared for this.

I expected a student production where everyone was fumbling around trying to figure out how to make it happen; actually, I thought I would be doing a lot of help behind the scenes.  Not at all.  The actors had years of experience, and were totally prepared.  The crew knew exactly what they were doing.  I was the only deer-in-the-headlights.  The cast had their lines memorized.  Not a big deal in a movie (the director determines how much you need memorized), but it did further the divide between them and me.

But you know your boy, I had to pull it off.  Young Cutta kept it together - shooting for the show, and movie at the same time.  We even got an interview with a music industry vet.  Of course I'll have clips from the set in the show, but I'll also keep you posted on how to check it out, once it's finished.  And your boy will continue to act!!
