So Rik Cordero is up for the BET Award for Video Director of the Year. And with the help of the dopeboyz/girlz, maybe we can give him a boost. I’d like to think my vote (I was part of the voting academy this year) helped a bit to get him on the nominations list. And I could go on and on about why he should take it all, but nation did a great job in doing that so I’ll just quote him (I’m lazy today).
Granted, he knows BET isn’t exactly his playground but imagine if he were to win this, what kind of message that would be sending out. Despite that it’s a poll of who the public thinks should win, it might have more of an effect on the final winner than you think. Rik really got his start on these here internets and he’s embraced this culture for everything it could be. I don’t doubt any one of those nominees’ talent, but for what it’s worth – Rik loves this shit as much as any of us do and has put out quality content online for years now. If anyone should win the people’s vote, it should be undoubtedly be Rik Cordero.
Word. Rik’s definitely got my vote.
Three 21 is dope.

Saw him at that J Dilla release joint at Fat Beats yesterday too… obviously a real fan of Hip Hop and someone who helps to benefit the culture through his vision.

Hype Williams is damn overrated. ALL his vids are the same.
Oh, and “Belly” sucked. C’mon… moving to africa? Really?
Rik gets my vote. All the vids he did with Budden, Royce, Joell, & Heltah Skeltah are dope.

i would vote if this was a year ago, but his videos lately have been sub-par. When I saw the amateur-like arab money video, he lost me.
