As soon as your born they make you feel small, By giving you no time instead of it all, Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all, A working class hero is something to be, A working class hero is something to be. They hurt you at home and they hit you […]
Soon to be retired Kobe Bryant said something once I liked. Paraphrasing here, ‘Before you get the ring, they’ll say you’re one of the guys who can’t win the ring. You get one, they say you can’t get two. And on and on, so the talk never stops.’ So just focus on the work, knowing […]
CHRIS: And here to present the next two awards, here is Academy Award nominee Emma Stone, and the Associate Producer of ‘Trojan War,’ Malik Aziz! (audience applause as they take the stage) EMMA: An outlaw trying to survive in a room of seven Hateful men. A woman supporting and coming to grips with her husband’s […]
So the sizzle reel for ‘The Get Down’ came out this morning. On top of looking great on its own merit, my friend Aaron Rahsaan Thomas (director of ‘Trojan War’) happens to be one of the creative people behind the scenes helping to bring this series to light. So add that to the reasons you […]
Where to begin? The past 12 months have been many, life altering things to me. Have to start with ‘Trojan War’. An idea two years back, many chess moves behind the scenes that don’t need to be aired out (and are truly par for the course if you have any idea how hard it is […]

No song this weekend. I haven’t made this announcement here yet but… Our 30 for 30 ‘Trojan War’ is now available on iTunes, Amazon, and Netflix. For those of you outside the U.S. (or without cable), you can watch our film anytime and nearly anywhere you please. That’s your weekend homework, enjoy!
Hell of a week, obviously. How should we move forward? Oh, what is this? Sir Paul released a new video shot in L.A., with alternate vocals? Yep, this’ll do it! Have a great weekend everybody!
So ‘Trojan War’ is done and a living product now, officially. It’s been a great ride, a ton of memories I’ll never forget, chief among them the outpouring of support. I love my people. In every possible way that statement can be interpreted. Beyond the superficial links between us, that sense of ‘take care of […]
Overwhelmed. Aaron and I have both watched ‘Trojan War’ repeatedly before tonight; there was a ‘USC premiere’ and a ‘Hollywood premiere’ last week, so we both felt good about how the ‘core demographic’ would react. But still… This week, and today especially, the sheer number of you who reposted, retweeted, and otherwise spread the word […]
