  • video:

The Keep Fishin' video is still under wraps, as the editing is further refined. But its already getting some attention. Mtv News ran both a TV news report and this article the other day. Viewers of mtv2 are in for a treat come July 14th. To celebrate "All Access Week" on the MTV networks, the "Keep Fishin'" video will premiere on MTV2 as part of a half-hour special that goes behind the scenes of the Keep Fishin' shoot. That special premieres July 14 at 10pm EST. We arent sure if this is officially a "making the video" program or not, but the effect should be about the same.

...Meanwhile in other video news, "Dope Nose" has been cropping up on Mtv2's "Control Freak", and doing pretty good, thanks to fan's votes! A recent showdown had Dope Nose (with 62 percent) defeating Busta Rhymes featuring P.Diddy & Pharrel- "Pass the Courvoisier" (Part II), and No Doubt featuring Bounty Killer- "Hey Baby"...
