Naughty by Nature releases the video for upcoming film "Flags"

Urban Radio Nation flags, ice t, naughty by nature

The video for the song "Flags" from Naughty by Nature was shot on the streets of the group's hometown in East Orange and Newark, New Jersey. It tackles the topic of gang relations and its destructive lifestyle. It's an extended video clip based on a "Flags" feature film currently in development by Illtown Films. The track itself features Balewa “Bilal” Muhammad & Jaheim.

"Our goal with the video was to send a 'Peace in the Streets' message to our brothers, sisters and the community at large," states Vin Rock. "The video really exposes the choice one has to make in the face of adversity. Life or death, the choice is yours."

"Flags" starring Treach, Ice-T, Marc John Jefferies, and Dennis Johnson is an epic mini-movie with a music video slipped within. This feature will be one of the next projects released and will be accompanied by a full-length feature film that will be released straight to DVD. Produced by Naughty by Nature for Naughty Films, written by Treach and directed by Jay Rodriguez and Rock Davis for Itchy House Films.

We can only hope that the message gets to the ones who think being hard is the thing to do...

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
