Stalley "Babblin" Music Video

In commemoration of the upcoming 5th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina (Aug. 29, 2010), Director and New Orleans' own Brandan "BMike" Odums and 2-Cent (www.2-cent.com) present Stalley in "Babblin'" (Prod. by J. Rawls).

BMike was inspired to capture the current state of New Orleans by creating a visual accompaniment to Stalley's "Babblin'", off of the Ohio native's "The Autobiography" (download at http://stalley330.bandcamp.com/), because he felt the song unintentionally represented the existing dichotomy in his city so well. Today, tourists and residents alike enjoy all that New Orleans has to offer, but many never visit the ninth ward or acknowledge the remnants of destruction that remain.

The imagery in "Babblin'" serves as a blunt reminder that the Katrina tragedy should not and cannot be forgotten, but through it all we must unite and rejoice to ensure life and the beautiful city of New Orleans live on.

[dunknowhodisbe]

@JCMthebrand Oh then i guess it does bro, tbh never really listened to a lot of the roots so i wouldnt know.....but now makes me feel like diggin deep into the roots now....thanks for your opinion bro

[JCMthebrand]

@dunknowhodisbe ATCQ took jazzy beats to this "acid jazz" sampling....but honestly it has more of a Roots feel, through lyrics and they've actually used this sample. Definitely don't think it has more ATCQ feel then Roots

[JCMthebrand]

@ShinglongBok That is Jay Elec, what the hell are you talking about.

[JCMthebrand]

Do yall hear this boy giving props to the ROOTS? "MY mellow my man!!!!!!!!!!"

[jhmxk]

the only thng that i dont like bout stalley is that is somgs are so short

[imcruisin88]

i do like the smoother rhyme sounds great but when Katrina hit i think it also washed away all there raps too... dude clean up that beard u look like a terrorist. Nice flow though really did one thing right, just my opinion when did it matter..

[Nyex101]

Back when his beard was shorter
