Must-Watch Incredible Interview! Mendy J and Chananya Begun

by the way before we go always here for Al now for anyways that Trump is doing so nobody has any idea what we talking maybe only the 100,000 people do am of people now anyway Kan beone welcome to the show good to be back anyway so there's been a buzz and an excitement and uh hack and questions and talk about this incredible video and song that was released a few like about a week before about two weeks ago week yeah two weeks ago ex it was exactly a Thursday two weeks ago no I actually end up supposed to be Thursday end up being we debuted the music on the show Thursday night two weeks ago and uh then M shabas it was actually um correct it was actually released you know I just the question that I have for both of you is sometimes you have a song and you make a video to it and sometimes you have a video that you make a song to it which one what was the C like you know sometimes the song isn't so great but the video is amazing and sometimes you have a video you know a a a a video that's amazing with the song you know so what what was the story behind this one I'm so happy you asked that question first because that's exactly what happened here okay it's different we live in a bit of a different world in 20 years ago very visual very visual it went into the visual and I I decided for the first time unlike these first three Productions which went very well but let's start with the video because the video at the end of the day that's what drives everything and um I basically we have we brought um sponsor on board hatbox and we wanted to somehow make a video but a sponsor but in a very exciting way all the videos have been good we wanted to bring it to a new level okay and uh this has happened before the song oh really yeah so first thing is you figure okay we're going to have a we're going to have a we have an idea and then we'll figure out what music to put and you knew that obviously the lead vocals is going to be meny yeah yeah this is all for meny but we had not decided on the song yet okay I'm like I'm going to come up with a good concept of this video and then we'll figure out the song later aha first time that answers a lot of questions what does that mean we'll get to it yeah first time that I I don't know anyone else I did that it's the first time that we did it for sure and um and they came like what's the most obvious thing I put in this video that would make it hilarious that would make it relevant that would make it something that's very fresh and different and uh biggest story in America the last eight months Donald Trump Donald Trump but you know what that was taking a very big risk I'll tell you why it I'll tell you why it was taking the risk because you you actually when you were here Kana when you did the kumzits you said that that you were doing the right thing you have a sponsor and you're working on a on a video and and whatever and you told me you know you gave me the information that you're going to be having Donald Trump you know acting you know being want toze that right right right yeah now the the truth is you go you invested money you put out a video you did a thing and and the likelihood I mean like Isa we're not going to get into politics but who really would have believed he would be doing what was it Kan is four months ago that he would still be doing what he's doing today and what if he would have fall of the you know that but then it would have been you know was it was a good risk a good R during the production process people kept like myy kept on saying other people like what what happens if he falls apart what happens to our video what's going to happen but the thing is that it's such a humorous video there's so much subtle humor in the video that I don't think it would have made a difference if he if he fell off the map it's funny it's a nice reminder of what happened if he still here then it's relevant like I didn't really see that as a problem but you're what you're saying now everybody was telling me the same thing okay good good good and by the way they're still saying the same thing let's say he doesn't become president becomes the most embarrassing video of all time CU it's now it's it's fresh now it's it's the news now it's uh and also the fact that we released it a week before perm oh that that added that me released this you know during SPH you know what I'm saying sure music even acella version even AC whatever it is but the week before perm was good timing for this so what so what was the concept of this video you know is there a story line isn't there a story line so what's what's the what's the idea again people if if you're not from the 100,000 people who watched it yet right you know and we're going to be playing the song in a few minutes also for people to we're blown away by like I knew would probably do well but we're blown away by what actually happened okay and all the ingredients meny did an incredible job we had Trump we had a great sponsor we had the video itself was done very well by our team um but I was 100,000 hits across all platforms it was beyond so so so so what's the what's the idea what do you try what's the idea obviously the humor and it's funny and and there's a lot of a lot of uh you know uh yeah so I I wanted to by the way are people saying that this video is huge oh yeah huge every single comment you see you the same joke every sing I'm sorry I was another one it's okay it's okay I'm used to I'm used to people repeating jokes believe you've just begun I've heard the same joke for 20 years okay it's okay believe me yeah believe me yeah it's huge it's huge but uh basically I L of friend Millions wait second I'm waiting for him to be able to say that do millions and millions of hits I think there millions and millions and it's hug one thing at a time but uh so we start off with a couple things just let me clarify something I'm here with Kan begun is the producer of this somebody asked the questions I'm just answering a question to a text not a problem not a problem so yeah so basically we start off with few things I start off with Mendy I know meny has a certain brand he's an incredible performer he comes across great I could do things with meny as far as um production I wouldn't do with other people want an original fresh happy all that stuff I started off with Donald Trump I start up with the the need to promote this the sponsor behind the video and that's where we started with so and also the subject of the song that we ended up picking is Messiah so I wanted humor we both wanted humor we wanted to be funny one of those you know you know it's you said the subject of the song is Messiah a lot of a lot of people were like oh it's aab song it's speak to meny about that actually first of who's who whose lyrics are the song well men is the one that picked the song It's a song that was originally sung by an Israeli singer never came to America meny loved never know say people I never heard I never heard of the song all the singer but and the lyrics of straight it's his song it's a straight his song you got permission to use it okay and U meny that was actually meny's decision to use the song so he so you know everything everything else I was right it seems like it's a you know it's a you know and whatever so tell me a little bit about the meaning of the song and then how it ties into the video the many will first of all how did I find the song oh no no so I was one night on a Thursday night you weren't listening to Le was after get out I'm up late at night working on stuff I know I get your messages at 2:52 in the morning but uh but that's an artist I say I respond at 6:00 in the morning I thought I was only one anyway but I'll tell you something and I came across a song you know that his words those are his words you know since he's a child you know his his his saying his view his View his view was basically you know the G and and you know spreading the message that again that we so so I was thinking in the song it's talking about now the message in this song is that all over you know again you have all over the world that are out there in the darkest places for sure I give them a lot of credit let me tell you craziest places but they're there to bring light right and to help you know Jews that have no connection to the same way when you have business people from all different uh from you from Lish from from that travel out you know you know they need a place of for sure need a place where the with the when the when the Mumbai attack happened I said they said that it was like all different unfortunately there was Guy B guy got killed so they were all at the sure 100% so so that so so now bringing it together so who you Kanan you arranged the the music on this took the song I had the kabat end up in there well that was the original oh that's that's the original Arrangement actually right he the the original that in that version kab comes into it yeah oh wow and we were claring whether to keep it there not to keep it there we decided to leave it as it was and for various reasons also again for the video cuz I was thinking about the video the whole time it was a better visual the song ended up sounding great but it was all based on the video now let's take a listen to the song sure and then we and then we'll continue talking we have a few more minutes and uh we're going to continue talking about a little bit more about the if you have any questions or comments uh you could text in 3479 278 398 347 9278
