A Real Life Entourage.

I rarely watch TV, but when I do, it's usually either a Soccer game or....ENTOURAGE!! Hands down, this HBO series is one of the greatest shows EVER! It shows the life of an actor, Vincent Chase, who makes it big in Hollywood and gives his old neighborhood buddies and his brother jobs. What makes the show so good is the fact that if any MAN made it big, this is how they'd live lol. Big house, Nice cars and sexy women in Los Angeles? Sounds good to me! But recently, after indulging in a few of my favorite episodes, I've notices striking similarities in the Entourage crew and my crew "LIVE4". Although none of us has yet to make it big, we still have a cool lifestyle that anyone our age would envy. I'm not going to use this blog to rant about the "cool" things we do, but instead prove the point that great TV emulates life.

Within Live4 you have Marcus McCoy (Marx/ one half of Sim-PLEX), then you have Sean Aikens (Seany Seans), Taj Reed (Taj) and Myself Stephen Ellis (Jazz/ other half of Sim-PLEX). Marx and I make up the Hip Hop duo of Sim-PLEX, and Sean & Taj are the fashion enthusiasts. We are all multifaceted, with Taj being a male model/ R&B Soul singer, who also features on a lot of our music. Sean has a a strange role in being the personal manager of Sim-PLEX. But because each of us are universal in aspect, no one really has a distinct character match in the show Entourage, but we all have certain characteristics that match those of the show. So when I watch Entourage, I always find myself saying, "Damn, Sean would definitely say something like that-Just like Ari." or "That is a situation Taj would find himself in-Just like Vince". All the while, making the show a greater experience due to the fact it relates to my everyday life.
But just know that LIVE4 > Entourage. Ha!
