Supreme Team - Supermagic


Supreme Team - Supreme Team Guide to Excellent Adventure


Supreme Team is a Korean rap group consisting of Simon Domonic and E-Sens. They have just released their debut mini-album called Supreme Team Guide To Excellent Adventure. (Dude!) The album cover of Supreme Team Guide to Excellent Adventure looks strikingly similar to the movie poster for Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure with the pose and telephone booth and all. I loved that movie!!!!!!

The first single of Supreme Team Guide to Excellent Adventure is Supermagic, a dance/party-type song. The music video for this song is based on a house party setting. There's some interesting characters that were invited to the party such as a Michael Jackson (RIP) impersonator, Spongebob Squarepants, Toucan Sam, and an astronaut (wtf?). Dynamic Duo also made a cameo appearance.

Turbulence Productions - Beyond, Beyond


Beyond, Beyond promotional poster


Turbulence Productions from the Philippines have released a music video for an inspirational spoken word poem written and directed by Dominic Nuesa called Beyond, Beyond. The poem is in both English and Tagalog and it gives an introspective perspective on what human hands can do. Most importantly, the poem reminds us that human hands have the ability to reach "beyond" for a better tomorrow.



Lyrics:
Beyond, Beyond
written by Dominic Nuesa for Turbulence Productions 2009

What these hands can do?

They write, they scratch, they push, they spray,
These hands, they grabbed the night and shook the day
We took the way that we considered sacred
With these hands we shared music, we used it to break bread

What these hands can do? We reach beyond, beyond, beyond

Nakadikit kami sa lupa, Subalit
Walang sing taas ng kamay na nagbabalak makamit ang langit

We reached for air, we clasp them in prayer,
We use it to point that there is life to be found there (you, you and you)
As soon as we drop them we pick up rhymes
And we pick up mics, and we pick up vinyl, we pick up people who've fallen downhill

What these hands can do?
umaangkas sa kasaysayan, kumukumpas ng walang humpay
Nagtatanim ng musika, namimitas ng tagumpay

A heart bursting handshake
Two palms under a pouring cascade
A palm covering what was once a blank face (No need to translate)
Erase the cosmetics, dip these hands in waters and finger paint across the face of deserts
The result is nothing less than epic (Itong lupang kay ganda!)
And these hinges in my fingers, connect like constellations
These struggles in my knuckles, wade through constant graces
And we embrace, every door that was opened for us
Every verse, every chorus, we embrace the smallest applauses
When behind it is a colossus of a heart, beating in the process
Such is our blessing, these hands can polish sawdust

What these hands can do? We reach beyond, beyond...

Kami'y naglalakbay gamit ang palad at kamay
sa dagat ng bawat pahina daliri ang tulay
umaangkas sa kasaysayan, kumukumpas ng walang humpay
Sumasakay sa panahon, sarili ang tulay

...beyond, beyond, beyond...

Kami'y naglalakbay gamit ang palad at kamay
sa dagat ng bawat pahina daliri ang tulay
umaangkas sa kasaysayan, kumukumpas ng walang humpay
Sumasakay sa panahon, sarili ang tulay
