ALFRED HITCHCOCK on #Music in His Films #Flashback Interview (Audio) + #Eminem’s (Video) for “Darkness”
Portrait of Alfred Hitchcock by Antonio Mossucca This is just a quick blog post to pay homage to the great American horror filmmaker, Alfred Hitchcock, Eminem’s muse for his latest album, Music To Be Murdered By. I wonder if Hitchcock knew that one day his style and his 1958 album, the original Music To Be Murdered by would inspire the biggest name in Hip Hop. In this 1972 interview with BBC, Hitchcock reiterates on his 1932 statement that the music in his films and the editing of the films have a great deal in common as both are seamless and establishes the tempo and mood of the scene. In this interview,…

GRACE JONES Tells Us How To Get A Man in Conan The Destroyer (#Throwback Video) via @lisafordblog
Hey, I’m doing a little freelance blogging today and writing about random things that are on my mind. I was watching the 2011 version of Conan The Barbarian, starring Jason Momoa on Netflix the other day, and got a little curious about the 1984 version, Conan The Destroyer, staring Arnold Schwarzenegger and the amazing, GRACE JONES. In the film, Grace played Zula, a sorcerer and ally of Conan. Check out one of my favorite clips of her below giving advice on how to get a man. And by the looks of it, Grace was serious, she wasn’t acting. That one single sentence delivered for comical effect contains more practical, effective…

DaBaby’s “BOP on Broadway” in One Take ft. The Jabbawockeez. Have you seen this yet??
DaBabby bringing out the Jabbawockeez in his new well choreographed video is an instant Win. Take notice, the entire dance sequence was one continuous shot. DaBaby has worked hard to take over 2019. Dababy running around in his own video acting like an extra is pure comedy 😂💀 Lisa Ford’s crime novella, South Beach Suicide, on sale now at Amazon.

Troyman Bodied His Performance – Streetlight | Rhythm + Flow | Netflix (Video) via @lisafordblog
This song has never left my soul since watching TROYMAN’s performance on the grand finale of Netflix’s Rhythm & Flow. I had to find Streetlight on YouTube and keep it on replay because TROYMAN KILLED IT! The fact he barely had any time to get ready for this challenge only to come out and still murder it is impressive. His energy, his flow, his voice, the rhythm with the beat, the swag he brought, was a real live performance. Troyman catches people’s attention while throwing out his IT factor! And we look forward to more collaborations with him and super Producer, Tay Keith. Check out the video below. Keep in…

Netflix’s RHYTHM & FLOW’s – Londynn B “I Can’t Change” (Video) via @lisafordblog
So I’ve been watching Netflix’s Rhythm & Flow for a few days now and I have to say that I’m pleasantly surprised. I’m not usually into music competition shows because a lot of times, talented people get eliminated for frivolous reasons which makes it all a hard watch for me. However, the Rhythm & Flow series is nice because the judges; T.I., Chance The Rapper, and Cardi B, are a dynamic trio who truly brings something special to a music competition show. It’s apparent that the ultimate goal of Rhythm & Flow, (executive produced by Cardi B), is to highlight the unique features of the art of Hip Hop and…

BAD BOYS FOR LIFE (Watch New Trailer) Starring Will Smith & Martin Lawrence via @lisafordblog
Who remembers going to go see Bad Boys 1 when it first came out back in 1995? The Bad Boys movie franchise is still the most badass thing even today. What you got with the precious two films was great acting, great action, and great scripts. Who would’ve thought that two comedic actors like Will Smith and Martin Lawrence could be such great action stars. We’re so looking forward to the 3rd film Bad Boys For Life to be released to complete the trilogy. Sony Pictures has unveiled a brand new Bad Boys 3 trailer for the long-in-the-works sequel, which sees Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) back together…

RICARDO ARJONA – 2018 Circo Soledad Tour Amazing Stage Photos via @lisafordblog
"Santo Domingo, why do they take so long to invite me again? Why does it have to spend so much time, "said the artist when greeting. By this time, he had already sung, from behind the stage, "Circus solitude", leaving his exit for "Ella", when he left the interior of a mobile wardrobe. "The last time was, how long ago? Three years; do not allow it again." - Ricardo Arjona

TUPAC – A Rare Video You Probably Never Saw. #PacsBirthday via @lisafordblog
The Tupac biopic, "All Eyez On Me", directed by Benny Boom, dropped today to commensurate the legacy the iconic rapper. The filma also served as birthday gift to his fans as Pac's birthday is today, June 16th (Pac would have been 46 years old). I'm a die-hard fan and I'm personally nervous about watching the film because I hold a very nostalgic view of Pac that I don't want ruined (even though I don't think that's possible). In previous blog posts, I did publish the trailer video, so I won't go that route today. Instead I'm posting something light-hearted, a little insight on Pac's humorous personality, that I thought you…

THE WEEKND Is A $92 Million Dollar Man – Read How Artists are making a Killing!! via @lisafordblog
Forbes: The indirect spoils of streaming can be even greater. Abel "the Weeknd" Tesfaye parlayed his play count--5.5 billion streams in the past two years--into an estimated $75 million touring advance. To him it's all part of the model he's been following throughout his rapid rise, one that applies to all sorts of businesses: Create an excellent product, make it widely available and flip the monetization switch when the timing is right.
