PICS: Rik Cordero x Spike Lee in Istanbul, Turkey

Rik was in town with Nike and 94×50 shooting more footage for his upcoming documentary “The World Is Watching,” which we briefly described when he let us present “Welcome to the Imperial,” check out some behind the scenes stills from the shoot on Three/21. Spike was in Istanbul shooting a commercial and they had the chance to meet. Rik describes encountering the living legend below:

From shopping in the Grand Bazaar to watching the U2 360 Tour at Ataturk Stadium, Spike was an absolutely pleasure to be around; his sharpness, humor and wit is unmatched.

As they head into post production with the doc, look for the premiere of the Rik Cordero documentary film “The World Is Watching” to hit the big screen at the Tribeca Film Festival in April of next year.

More info below:

“The World Is Watching” (directed by Rik Cordero / produced by Nike Films) is the story about prominent teenage athletes competing in a New York City Basketball tournament called Battle of the Boroughs. The film revolves around the best up and coming basketball players in New York City. These young men must live up to the expectations of their coaches, their families and most importantly: their boroughs. These are the stories of individuals from the city that never sleeps who play a sport that they were born to win. From NYC to Istanbul, The World Is Watching. Coming soon!

    LF: it feels good to have a subwoofer back in the whip. this is the best system yet.

    1 sub

    factory interiors with no internal tweeters for great mids

    2 external tweets on the dash

    rockford punch 500 watt amp for the interiors

    alpine 400 watt for the sub

    you cant even hear the bass on the outside of the whip

    but when you sit down that bass massages you back like never before

    #Imbackbaby!

    Damn hopefully Rik will keep his edge and still guerrilla the game. Not likely tho, you know how it is when the majors get involved. He likely to start having someone else start shooting the footage while he sits back and collects checks.

    you got something to say.. SAY it then… what you ashamed of it? you scared to say what you SHOULD be sayin?

    i cant understand that logic… at LEAST christians and muslims TRY to explain to others that may be lost why they do what they do and try to lead people to their truth.. what exactl that i y are you doin? what are you tryin to prove?

    i didnt come here with the intention on giving no sermons on Nuwabianism… nor is that my lifes purpose or goal… i made a couple comments about York, and now you expect me to show and prove and teach you certain degrees of wisdom?? LOL… of course muslims and Christians talk all day and spread their stories… has it hepled humankind?.. .no… so they(especially Christians) need to stfu and stop lying… anything of great value requires hard work… especially knowledge… i dont type a fraction of the stuff i know cause i dont have the time or desire to explain it IN PUBLIC … IN A RAP BLOG…lol..

    seek and you will find b…

    just dont sarcastically ask me in the midst of no childish shots on no blog…

  28. JDS just looks at her, looks at her... Says:

    The Illuminati have nurtured a child, Satan’s son, who was born on 6 June 1966 at the Dakota House on 72nd Street in New York to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis of the Rothschild/Kennedy families. The Pope was present at the birth and performed necromantic ceremonies. The child was raised by former U.S. president Richard Nixon and now lives in Belgium, where it is hooked up bodily to a computer called “The Beast 3M” or “3666.”
