Sid's Review
This video is pretty f*cking great. It's a long track - 9:49, but it's 3 tracks long. "Love Story" is actually one story in three parts. The first is raw poem from a man deep, deep in love. But, the chick ain't into him, and in part 2, "Lindsay London" a haunting story of this naîve girl with dreams and aspirations who gets taken advantage of at every step of the way up the pole of prosperity. Finally, a gritty rendition of "St. James Infirmary" closes the story with a tragic conclusion to the fate of the author's true love.
Don White's Review
This is a raw video diplaying Subliminal Twinkie's amazing live show capabilities. There are three song that are done in a row. The stripper comes out and turns up the heat but the rap oudoes the dancer in this scene. "Lindsay London," not be confused with Lindsay Lohan is the stripper as well as the name of the song. It is a tragic story of a strippers greed getting the best of her. AWESOME!!!!!!
The Twinkeez Defense
DJ Eye aka Eyevan the Earritator, has been building these tracks with Ramiz Monsef for what seems like years and years now. But the wait is over, after the first official taste of the Twinkeez hit iTunes and the all-consuming public via DJ EYE: INSOMNIAC, they're back with a full-length album that's All Twinkeez!
DJ Eye is the composer, along with DJ A-Typical, on the haunting and truly eclectic old movie film style soundscapes that permeate the tracks on this album. Ramiz "the Manchild" Monsef lends an educated and soulful lyricism to the awesome tunes. Now, the Twinkeez are ripe as ever, and The Twinkeez Defense is complete aural stimulation laid with intelligent, fun lyrics.
Opening with a televangical Hip Hop Prayer, the album eases into some of the more melodical and less psychotic of of DJ Eyes style on Air Fare, and then get's into the manic with the following track, an ode from a clinically obsessed and violent ex-lover to the girl he can't get over -My Romancing. This track also includes DJ A-Typical on trombone, bringing a brassy riverboat feel to the track.

Synopsis:
Given 3 plot points and a 9.5 hr. deadline, SidFilmz decided to create a self-promotion piece in a docu-drama style. As the video begins with a detective on the street, who loses his sweater, we begin to see the elements of melodrama working against him already. Then, upon revealing what he and his partner are up to, the socio-political question is posed: is hip-hop illegal? In a day when the cops are watching if you burn CDs or not, where's a true musician going to distribute his music?
The production team wanted to really capture the raw feel of the city, hence the live sounds of the city, the drag-on conversation of a lost love, and of course the denouement that shows that the battle over who controls the right to distribute music is a never-ending chase by the powers that be in attempt to capture the value of the artist. All written, shot, and edited in 9.5 hrs., and presented in under 6 minutes.
Stay tuned, stay independent.
