G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam recording artist, Kanye West protege and Detroit native, Big Sean was recently interviewed by myself for Hip-Hop Canada, during the artist’s January 2011 visit to Toronto.

In addition to interviewing Big Sean, I also photographed portraits of the artist, and covered his concert (through photography and cinematography).

“Stupid People” By a j a n i cinematography: digital motion solutions And C4 Entertainment

Some people can move on and gracefully distance themselves from ended relationships, while others hold grudges and find it incredibly difficult to let go.

Certain ex-couples possess the capacities to take the positive aspects of old relationships to better future ones, whereas “Stupid People” illustrates egos at war, in what can be best described as the psychological equivalent of two hydrogen bombs being detonated simultaneously.

Sometimes it’s better to agree to disagree, and sometimes you just have to throw down.
