it went down on FRIDAY. i was so excited to be directing a video for the NOTORIOUS soundtrack. this is the closest i could get to an icon that had a major effect on my life, i was very honored to be apart of it!
it was my third time working with JADAKISS (1st, styling him for the BBC lookbook/catalog. 2nd, directing him in the JOSH EXANTUS video “Let’s Ride”). he’s easy going and super hilarious.
ONSMASH also posted before i did…
*JADAKISS and ME. i was so geeked i wore a vintage COOGI sweater!
*this shoot couldn’t have gone smoother or more on time, in fact everything was ahead of schedule because JADAKISS came early. it’s something very unheard of in this business.
*also on set was GROOVY LOU, who styled B.I.G. back in the day. they all made me feel like family.
*BIGGIE chain by COMPLETE TECHNIQUE.
*JADA counting the spare change i had in my pocket.

THIS IS THE ACTUAL CHAIR THAT BIGGIE SAT IN!
of course, everyone was so excited the actual chair was on set that we all had to take pictures in it!
*ALLADIN (the finest indian prince you’ve seen thus far)
__________
by the end of the shoot, GROOVY LOU handed me a bottle of DON P. from 1995 and asked me to open it in honor of BIG and this video so we could toast in his memory. i was speechless. i popped the bottle and HARVE PIERRE toasted to BIG and to having me apart of it as a new director.
