SA Studios was commissioned by Twentieth Century Fox to produce a series of viral videos promoting the film “Machete” starring Danny Trejo. Estevan Oriol directs this second lifestyle video in the series, revisiting Danny Trejo’s neighborhood where he grew up and interacting with fans at car shows in East LA.
Best part of this video? When Danny says that the Machete trailer was the best part of Grindhouse. I have to agree. Then again I’d agree with pretty much anything Danny says. I’m not trying to get stabbed. Was that a racial joke, or a because he plays Machete? You decide. After the jump, SA Studios orchestrated a true meeting of the minds when it introduced Machete star Danny Trejo to world-renowned visual artist David Choe. Inspired by Danny’s iconic face, David Choe crafted original poster art based on Machete as a tribute. SA Studios was on-hand to capture this unique pairing and document the creation of David Choe’s original Machete art.
Ah man that title is terrible. Sorry folks long night, but Busta basically goes ape shit when Araab plays him some music. Kind of like this scene in Fade To Black but turned up to eleven.

Yo I don’t know how people been dissing Rock The Bells this year. I got to see Nas, Rae, and Ghost rock Verbal Intercourse, and if you were at the show in NYC then you caught Tribe on stage with Large Professor? Extra P being on stage kind of discredits this interview where he says that Tip might not have liked the way he looked. [||] .Great episode by the good folks at JJTV.
Eric discussed what it was like growing up in a musical family. He also spoke about being depressed and how a woman’s “Chocolate Legs”, and the strong connection they shared, brought him out of his depression.
The second in the Soul Survivors series highlights the former Mr. Halle Berry, Eric Benet. I wonder what woman he is speaking about in the clip.
It’s great to see Snoop, Warren, and the rest are true hip-hop heads reciting Busta’s verse from Scenario in this clip. I’ve seen Busta do Scenario nuff times, but Sunday in DC at Rock The Bells may have been the greatest. Amazing show.
