Permission   Music Video Song written by Kendall Produced & Recorded by Kendall & Doug White Cast - Kendall Shot by Bob Cunningham Edited by Bob Cunningham Animations by Bob Cunningham   Permission was a song I wrote about my feelings on gay marriage. I actually started out being anti marriage but the more I felt that people didn't want it to happen the angrier I got and I eventually changed my mind. Even though the sentiment is serious there are still sardonic and funny moments in the song. When I toured last year performing at various Bear events I would rap in front of a screen with animated images put to the music by my friend Brutus (Bob Cunningham). Bob videotaped me performing it at a couple of the venues and then edited the footage in with the original animations.

Hip Hop Dykes Music Video Song written by Kendall Produced and Recorded by Kendall and David Malia Cast - Kendall, Jimmy Janowski, David Kelly, Randall, Andrew Smeltzer, Jamie, Kathy Carson, April Adams, Angel, V  Shot by Richard Bonvissuto & David Keicher Lighting Zac Herdlein Directed by Kendall Edited by Bob Cunningham   Last year I played a gig in New York City over the summer. Afterwards I went to a couple of bear bars on Christopher Street with friends. The bars were a couple blocks away from each other and in between there was a black gay subculture that no one seemed to notice. I asked some of the bears about the hip hop club that was there but no one knew anything about it. I found it sad and interesting that these two gay sub-cultures could co-exist and have no interaction or homogenization going on between them. While we were walking I took notice of a couple of lesbians holding hands. They were all decked out with big hoop earrings, spray painted tees tied under their breasts and tube socks with heels. They were made up and beautiful. I couldn't get them out of my head and on the bus ride home I wrote the song Hip Hop Dykes. The idea of the song is also a throwback to Malcolm McClaren's Buffalo Gals, a rap song about the B Girls movement in the early eighties which was a precursor to modern day hip hop style.   I wanted to tell a story with the video about this archetype and show solidarity between gays and lesbians. Of course with me it's always got to have a twist and a sense of humor. I think sometimes that's the best way to get a message across. It definitely worked here.
