TWO SPOONS AND A BOWL-A CLASSIC IN THE BREWING!!!

RATING:
VIDEO CONCEPT:TWO SPOONS
VIDEO CREATIVITY: TWO SPOONS AND A BOWL
VIDEO QUALITY: ONE SPOON
VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: 0:15, 0:27, 3:11, 3:39
CHICAN CAUGHT IT: 0:06, That's a nice way to rock that tie


First off, Q the prophet is excellent with timing. Some may think I'm referring to his lyrical ability-but I wasn't going that way (however,he is nice with his timing lyrically though). Q the prophet picked a excellent time to drop this video....on valentine week. Some may see this as a gimmick, but this brings back a "fun feel" to hip hop. Plus, with all the horrible things going on in the world-we need some love. I haven't heard a good love song like this in a long time, but i also haven't seen a good love song video like this in a long time. Stephcynie curry brings a "soulful" feel to the video and within the chorus and actually allows Q the prophet to really expound on the concept of the video. The concept is a small idea of showing how LARGE Q the prophet loves his girlfriend/soul mate. This concept comes of very well.

The creativity from this video is classic! First off, Q the prophet takes it "old school" and writes his soul mate a love letter (yea, people that are over twenty actually used paper and a pencil to write letters to people lol). He continues to tear them up and rewrite them, trying to create the best way to portray his feelings. He eventually comes to the point of simply telling her she's his soul mate (one highlight point of the video) and he loves her. He shows in lyrics, as well as video, how he loves her in all aspects-mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Once again, Q the prophet is good with his timing. As he says "cake" (even though he's not using it in this term), we see him putting a ring under his soul mate's plate of cake (I'm guessing lemon pound cake???). Just as she realizes there is a ring under it, he says she should have his last name. This is how a video should go. The story should have you paying attention to everything going on.

The quality of the video is good. The director does a good job of allowing us to see Q the prophet's feelings. I love the b roll of him in the streets. I noticed that we saw the banner for "The lion king" in the background. Maybe the director is trying to say that Q the prophet is a lion king-loyal,faithful, and will take care of his family or represents like the lion of Judah. The editing is good and i like the spilt screen shots. I can tell the team really put some time into this project.

Overall, i give this video two spoons, but i feel like it is going to hit your "hip hop spot" when you watch it. I feel this video will be sent to ladies on valentine day, anniversaries and when guys mess up in their relationships. The ladies will love it and you gave all the guys ammunition....we salute you for that.

So,did this video melt your heart or just burn you up? Did Q the prophet get his point across or did he just look like he was just trying to get his drake (not knocking) on? Give us your thoughts...good or bad. Send this to your friends,family and enemies. Spread the soup.
