Campus Vibes brought to you by I.M.Fly

Every so often I.M.Fly will look to influential personalities from the urban scene to write a blog post on what's new and cool. Our first installment is written by DJ Die-it- Coke, a creative and "out of the box" disc jockey that prides himself on being different! Stay Fly!

After having a few beverages at a hip hop inspired night on St Laurent a few weeks ago I began to lose myself in this one track the DJ was spinning. The intricate drum patterns, amazing use of samples, synths, and electronica based effects had me craving more. The artist addiction I possessed was for Montreal native Lunice. Where in just a few years he has quickly risen to the top of the Montreal electronica scene. From playing Montreal’s Bass Fest to gigging on Concordia’s Loyola Campus and now scheduled to do a cross european tour how can anyone deny this guy and his talent. His “SWAG” inspired hip hop beats gelled with various rappers and MC’s creates a sound so original but also with a sense of familiarity. 

Lunice’s new EP “One Hunned”, simply put, is just MASSIVE. With tracks like “Glow” that embody the listener into at atmospherical sense of beauty, to tracks like “I See U” that lead you into one absolutely sick massive bass line. The whole EP is a banger and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Hip Hop beats but with an infusion of electronica. Its sure to make any listener a fan. “Bricks” is hands down my favorite track off the “One Hunned” EP and this is the one I choose to share with you guys. Sit back, chill out, and get hunned up. Cheers, D.I.C.

Dekizzle's Patch #1

One word that defines my movie watching as of late ...

Honestly ... I have no time with school work training and life on my plate ... so dedicating 2-3 hours to sit down and watch verbal jousts and special effects on the silver screen is just beyond my available time frames...

Then after a long day of work, i can still hear my dad voice echoing in my mind ... " remember time is money but you cant buy time"

Ironically this movie talks about just the opposite of that

"Just once id like to wake up with more time on my hands than hours in the day" - Will Salas

Watch it and ill explain after the clip



This TRAILER is less of a film and more of a concept ...

How it is going to play out in the end ("film-wise")only the lord knows. the casting seems questionable nonetheless though Justin Timberlake has been doing great snits on Saturday Night Live, moving onto acting roles in films such as "alpha dog" and "bad teacher" and finally carrying the romantic comedy "friends with benefits" opposite Mila Kunis. The real test of how ready he is to carry a full film by himself will be thoroughly criticized when it comes out.

But back to the TRAILER,

first "time is money"
In the film, the aging gene is taken out of human beings at birth and replaced by calculated time to be used as currency. So in the near future,the rich can live forever and the poor die young ( 1 full year after 25 if you do not pay up ) to control overpopulation in the world.

Second " money makes the world go 'round"
the movie touches the idea that money is the root of all due to the fact that they cannot LIVE (literally) without it ... in the film once you run out of the available currency which is TIME itself ...you simply ... DIE ...

Lastly , it touches on the overpopulation of the world
who gets to decide who lives and who dies ? the rich ? the good ? the bad ? the poor ? clearly, one of the many points of this movie is that nobody should have the power to decide .Even near the end of the TRAILER the protagonist becomes a sort of futuristic Robin Hood that takes charge with the decision making of the state through the "steal time from the rich to spread through the poor" ideology that even then is questioned due to the fact that "bad" people can attain immortality.

Long story short, when you put all of this together it gives you a conceptually sound and intriguing TRAILER which clearly left me in complete and total anticipation and excitement for the film.

It might sound like a lot of thoughts for a 4 minute clip but something about this caused a stirring in my heart to see more, to understand, to comprehend the film that is "In Time"

Hope yall liked it as well ... sometimes you just gotta share it with the im fly family

Basically
what "1984" is to Privacy
"IRobot"/"Bladerunner" is to Humanity
"In Time" is about the currency... Marxism... working class vs the aristocrats...same story different stage ...New Ridiculously Cool Concept nonetheless

Honestly, scholastic writing styles aside ... this movie is just looking stupid cool im PUUUUMPED :):):):)



Spread your wings and fly out yall

Sincerely, Dekizzle

Dont get shot and stay up

ezzzzzz
