Can we Trust White People?

I was listening to the "I Have a Dream" speech by Martin Luther King Jr. and in it he spoke about how some people say you can't trust white people. When I was growing up I felt that white people couldn't be trusted. I remember as a young kid being bused into a white community to go to JHS and I recall the racial attacks on our bus. We were just young Black and Hispanic kids from South Side Jamaica Queens, NY going to JHS 210 in a white community. On our way to school there were racist white men throwing rocks at our bus and hitting the bus with bats and sticks. They were cursing at us with all kinds of filthy racial remarks. This occurred in 1983 when you would have expected racism to have been wiped out in NYC. MLK made his speech in 1963 and he helped to bring equality amongst whites and blacks in America yet there is still racism going on today. In this video I talk about if it's possible to trust white people.

Writing a book on Beats N Blessings

I'm writing a book about the Beats N Blessings (BNB) ministry that I founded in 1998. Through BNB  I discipled many young people who joined with me in evangelizing youth with Holy Hip-Hop. The ministry was featured NBC News and has done missions trips to London, England. The book has not been named yet and I plan to share excerpts from it in the near future so keep updated subscribe to my blog and YouTube.com\bnbvideo channel. Also go click like on my Facebook.com\beatsnblessings page.

Man Geechee entertains thousands of people regularly who ride the subway in NYC. On this particular occasion he had some guest dancers who showed off their skills through improve as he danced. It was a true vision of life which is the name of my video production company. I fortunate of enough to catch the show on video and I posted it on youtube. I was so amazed the other day to see that the video went viral and as of January 18th the video is 95,217 views. Watch the video and please share it on your facebook and email it to your friends online. My goals is to see this video hit over 100k views by mid February. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas from KCA

Using your iPhone 5 to Produce Movies with iMovie

Wow so much has happened since my last post I don't know where to start. I guess I inform you about my new excitement over filming & editing movies with my iPhone 5. Technology is moving so fast and it's becoming more and more convenient and affordable to do things that would cost thousands of dollars in the past. I'm always looking for ways to concerve time and money while being effective with communicating through media.

The iMovie app has been available for iPhones since iPhone 4 but it wasn't till I got the iPhone 5 that I actually started taking advantage of it. I used to use iMovie on my laptop to edit videos and then I went on to using Final Cut. I've been able to produce some powerful videos with these tools and they are great tools. Things are happening so fast in my life now that I barely have time to sit down at my laptop and use Final Cut. I find that my production time goes so much fast when filming with my iPhone 5 and spending few minutes on the iMovie app to edit it. The app is only $4.99 and it's so worth every penny of it. Rather than filming a video with my big Canon T2i and spending hours importing the video and editing it, I can now do things with a zip and saving me time and energy to do other things with my time. I don't have to carry around a bulky camera any more and have the hassel of it weighing me down in my travels. I love being light on my feet. After editing the movie on my iPhone 5 with iMovie I can then upload it directly from my iPhone to YouTube and immediately share it with my friends and the rest of the world.

With iMovie I can add my own background music, add pictures and even add voice over. Just the other day I filmed some video footage in Manhattan during this Christmas season at Rockefeller Center. At first I uploaded it with some popular Christmas music but it got flagged by YouTube so rather than waiting for a strike to go against my accuont I just deleted it and only a few of my friends had the pleasure of seeing that edit. I found a hot beat to add to it instead which wouldn't be flagged and cause any copyright issues thereby giving me the freedom to express myself creatively. I then had the great idea of recording myself doing a freestyle rap over the beat straight into the iMovie app. I just rapped into the basic mic that comes built within the headphones that came with my iPhone 5. I did this while riding the bus and although the mic isn't the greatest my delivery was so raw I just decided to keep the recording. I did a little mixing of adjusting my vocal level with the beat then I just uploaded it directly to YouTube. The camera on my iPhone 5 records in HD yet when uploading the video I just upload it using the reccomended setting which is 540p two levels below HD 1080p. The reason I upload with iMovie's reccomended setting from my iPhone 5 is because most people will probably be viewing my movie with their smart phone and the video will play more smoothly for them at 540p rather than the 1080p HD setting. Computers with a good internet connection can view the movie best at the HD, I don't like to just cater to people who have laptops I want everyone to see my movies so nobody is left out who has access to viewing YouTube movies.

Well I hope this post has inspired many of you go use your iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5c or 5s to create fantastic videos to share with the world. I think it's a wonderful thing to have the ability to express ourselves with a less barriers or obstacles as possible. For those who don't have high end video cameras or laptop computers this is an effective way to make your voice heard and share your creativity and content with the world. I heard it once said that anytime you can find something that brings you pleasure to do and get paid for it then your no longer working your truly living. Well I paraphrased it but you get the message.

Oh yeah I left this part out. Guess what? YouTube will pay you for your content that you upload through it's advertising dollars. I'm fortunate enough to be a youtube partner due to the enormous amount of views I've achieved. I'm close to 300,000 total views as we speak and one of my videos alone has reached over 40,000 views with no promotion. These all equals to dollars for those who apply to be a youtube partner which is what I officially am. As a youtube parnter you can choose to monetize your videos which now gives you the ability to earn income on a residual basis when people view your videos. For this to be achieved it is very important to have legal rights to all of your content video, music, vocals. So do your best not to upload anyone elses copyright materal without their permission and you should be fine.

The ability to monetize videos is something I sought of stumbled upon after one of my videos went viral without me even knowing it. The video was from my "Pit Bull Diary" series where I filmed my dogs Tyson & Diamonds play fighting as puppies. I called the video "the Golden Glove Match" because they were playing tug of war with a golden glove. Hey I guess I struck gold with this one. My whole plan was to promote my rap music by putting it as background music behind the video and using the exciting footage of my dogs as a way to draw attention to my content.


So many people in the world are just like me and they love watching puppies play and enjoy themselves. It's such a beautiful things to watch dogs navigate their way through life as they grow from puppies to adults. Not only do people love animal videos but they love Hip-Hop Music also which is what I produce through my Beats N Blessings ( BNB Records, LLC). So as you can see if you find a creative way to make content that represents who you are and you can package it in such a way that gets people's attention then you can get paid for enjoying your life. Isn't that awesome? Yes it is. I plan to offer classes real soon in my community for those who want to learn more about how they can benefit from Mobile Media Production. We live in a new age and technology is now with in your fingertips it's just all about how you plan and strategize to make yourself and those you work with a success.

Pigeon takes a ride on my Escalade

I was driving off the Queens Boro Bridge today and a pigeon decided it was too tired to fly and that it wanted to ride in style. I never seen nothing like it in my life. What amazed me even more was that when this pigeon landed on my windshield wiper it didn’t fly away right away it stayed for a ride for many city blocks.

 You would think that after driving at about 30 miles per hour it would fly away but it hung on tight and just held on for the ride. I must say the Escalade feels like a great ride but I didn’t know birds felt the same way. I guess in life God has a way of shocking us with strange things that make us take a step back and wonder why is this happening.

At one point I thought that maybe the bird was blind and didn’t know it was riding on a Escalade. I’m not the type to show off what God has blessed me with and I guess if it wasn’t for this pigeon blowing up my spot I probably would have never shown a video and pics of my escalade but sometimes in life we need to let the world see what God has done for us and not be ashamed of the blessings he pours on us. This pigeon was bringing so much attention to my vehicle people were rolling up with their phones taking pictures and having friendly conversations with us.

After many blocks I guess the bird wanted to jump inside the car cause my sunroof was open. Just before it could fly into my car I shut the sunroof and then it just chilled on top of my car for another block. I just kept snapping pics and videos with my iPhone 5 so I can share this moment with you and keep is a cool memory alive for many years.
