Tyrell

"I've always believed that a portrait captures a person far better than a photograph. It truly takes a human being to really see a human being."

Song: Tyrell
Artist: Asche & Spencer
Album: Monster's Ball OST
Quote: Lawrence Musgrove (Sean Combs)/Monster's Ball

Annnnnnd we're back. That pesky ETERNAL DARKNESS, always showing up in the middle of another Mix. Well let's just forget about the Ancients for now and talk about Monster's Ball. Anybody who has never seen that movie needs to go watch it right now (although I wouldn't recommend watching it with your mother like I did....you'll uh, see why). Revolving around the execution of Lawrence Musgrove, played by Sean "Diddy" Combs, it's a very complicated and emotional movie that deals with hatred, loss and redemption among other things. Halle Berry won the Academy Award for her stunning and fearless performance and was the first African American woman to ever receive that honor. The score to Monster's Ball was written and performed by Asche & Spencer and perfectly compliments the movie throughout. The themes they wove into the movie are both incredibly sad and beautiful and are highly underrated in my opinion. I have several songs from the score on this Channel, one of them on WARRIORS OF DESTINY which I'll be bringing back to the forefront soon.

Sadly, Coronji Calhoun, who played Halle Berry and P. Diddy's son Tyrell Musgrove in the movie, passed away in 2001 at the age of 30. This video is forever dedicated to his memory.
