WHAT'S CLINTON BEEN UP TO?THE CLINTON SPARKS BLOG
Kardinal Offishal and Akon Dangerous Video Shoot
Today me and Supastar L.T. went down to Miami for Kardinal and Akon's video shoot for Kardi's new song Dangerous, which is a smash! Gil Green directed it and the concept is a very cool one. The idea for the video is a play off of an old rayban commercial that shows different views from the perspective of the reflection off the sunglasses. Check for me and Supastar L.T.'s cameo. Here are a few pic's from the video shoot, that guy in the last photo his name is Supa Dups, he's really a nice guy, don't mind the finger. Also don't forget to go buy "Dangerous" on iTunes or Amazon.com.

Lot's O' Laughs
Not many people know this but I write not only songs but screenplays, television shows and stand up comedy. I've always been told growing up "man, you should be a comedian..." but I don't have the balls to get on stage and tell u a joke. Anyhow I KNOW I have incredible material but its the lack of ballage that prevents me from trying so I went to lunch with my boy actor/comedian Alex Thomas the other day for some pointers, he was blown away from my jokes, but that's an understatement. Many times he had say "hold on, if your not using those, I will" so I would say his words of encouragement definitely gave me a little more motivation to try it out, we'll see... Maybe you might catch me at my boy Cipha Sounds "Don't Get Gassed" Comedy Series sometime soon!

What's Happening In '08 Update #1
So I'm in LA sitting here at the airport waiting for my flight to Cancun and just finished taping The Daily 10 on E!. Today I talked about a group called Chromeo during my Get Familiar segment and I strongly suggest you Get Familiar with them, they are such a cool band, if u consider 2 people a band. (Random Thought: What is the official number of people to be considered a band???) All this week I've been trying to get clearance on a sample I used for a new Ludacris record I produced. I found out that the sample I used is Beethovan which makes it public domain aka it doesn't have to be paid for...Yesssss!!!! I was also able to knock out 3 more beats this week which I'm going to write to during my plane ride. Speaking of plane rides, I just got Ableton Live and I'm about to learn how to use it on my laptop...This software is Sick! You can literally do mixes on your laptop on an airplane flight...such a genius product! Shout to DJ white shadow in Chicago who gave me a crash course. I have to buy another laptop next week to strictly make beats on while I'm on the road, which I'll load with Protools, Reason & Ableton Live... (Sidenote: my goal this year is to make every waking moment of my life productive, otherwise what's really the point?) Just did a D-Block record for the massive mixtape I told ya'll last week about...which should be dropping in about a month. I still haven't though of a name for the CD yet but I'll think of something soon. I'm most likely going to do it how I did the Kanye West "Touch The Sky" CD (which incidentally is in February issue of Vibe Magazine), but with the boss Akon this time. I produced everything on it just like the "Touch The Sky" Kanye CD and its all new exclusive (because I made them) records from Fabolous, Ludacris, Rick Ross, Yung Joc, Jim Jones, Clipse, Common, Kweli, Fat Joe, Young Buck, Jadakiss and more. You need to Get Familiar, its dropping very soon and I'll have a preview of it sooner on Clintonsparks.com & myspace.com/djclintonsparks hopefully they put it up onsmash.com as well. Before coming to the airport to catch this flight I was hanging out with my boy DJ Felli Fel his studio and he played me music from his forthcoming album....a lot of hot music and there is one particular song that is a SMASH! No one was on it yet but he played the beat & sang me hook idea, its a winner! I keep telling ya'll Get Familiar with the DJ, we don't just play the hits....We make them! On that note, I got to write to some of these beats...catch ya'll later! Remember to always wear a condom because sharing is caring but not when sharing HIV! Hello!

I am Beowulf! Well not exactly, but I met him...
Went to go see the premiere of Paramount pictures new movie Beuwolf in LA tonight with my boys Ben Lyons, Daouda & Dannie. The movie was awesome & you need to go see it but when you do make sure you see it in 3D. Everybody was in the theatre from Brad Pitt to Sean Penn, Seth Rogen, Ricky Shroeder as well as the stars of the movie Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich & Ray Winstone. Speaking of Ray Winstone we all hung out with him after the Movie. If your not familiar with who Ray Winstone is, he is Beuwolf (the star of the movie) but I like to think of him as Frenchy from The Departed.

Monster Jam 2007
Tonight was a dream come true, Akon brought me up on stage of JAM'N 94.5's Monster Jam concert & introduced as his co-writer & producer of his "Sorry, Blame It On Me" record right before he performed the record in front of 20,000 people in my hometown of Boston at the TD Banknorth Garden, it was amazing considering how the Red Sox just won the world series, the Partriots are 8-0 smashing teams left and right, Boston's got talent on many levels and I'm proud to represent Boston all over the world!

Finally Got Some Ink
Out in LA on a day of down time from a busy week, I decided to finally get inked up. I had this really great picture of my son, which I thought would make a great portrait tattoo, so my boy Earl called some of his peeps around LA and found the Inkslinger Tattoo shop in Alhambra. So we headed down there and I linked up with Tommy Montoya who's one of the best portrait artists around. Check out how it came out: Labels: Clinton
