Rize

I wanted to like Rize a whole lot more than I did. The subject matter was fascinating, but the documentary itself was a little sloppy, especially near the end (e.g. by the way, white and Asians krump too). But I caught four seconds of the video for Madonna’s first single off of her new album (Hung Up from Confessions on a Dance Floor) on MTV Asia the other day and there was Miss Prissy. Seems that Madonna wanted David LaChapelle to direct the video but he declined.
