Rik Cordero in Wired Magazine

Posted by thekidLEGEND - September 23, 2008

Shouts to the homie Rik Cordero for being named 1 of 6 top directors Making Videos Cool Again by Wired Magazine! Three21Media we see you. If you dont know who Rik is by now, You Better Ask Somebody. Heres what WM had to say:

Rik Cordero
Signature style: Urban tales with a grime-noir twist.
Key video: Nas, “Be a Nigger Too.” A nine-minute epic of narrative arcs within arcs about the most loaded of words, with nearly every directorial technique thrown in. “It used to be the only outlet for non-mainstream videos were street DVDs,” Cordero says. “When YouTube came along, we just ran with it like purse snatchers.”

Sidenote: Dont forget to vote for the homie eskay for VH1 Hip-Hop Honors. Yea, These Ones

    lol@ Nahright being the only hiphop blog in the best hiphop blog category. I am def a fan of all the other sites but wouldn’t consider them hiphop blogs.

    *UPDATE* Check out this post on TSS for some interesting discussions on these nominations. Much love and respect to Angel for speaking up even though she’s one of the ones nominated.
