You May Have Noticed....

... if you are a devout Boogie reader, that we finally put up a new banner, to go with out new look.

It was designed by NetsForce, a graphic designer I found on the RealGM GFX Forums. The man does great work on everything he puts his mind to.

On behalf of everyone from The Boogie, thanks for your work.

Everything You Wanted To Know About A-Trak

Rehearsal Space: A-Trak from videos222 on Vimeo.

He's the dude who, until the Glow In The Dark Tour, rocked out during all of Kanye's show. DJ scratchin supposedly died a good fifteen years ago, but A-Trak is dope. Actually, all good scratchers are tight. A-Trak is a canuck but I'll that slide. His brother is the lead singer for the band Chromeo.

Oh, and my favorite part of that video is the zoom-in on the old lady at 0:47. Lol

Kanye TV?

A couple months back, Kanye wrote on his blog that he was working on a TV show. He said it wouldn't be some lame E! reality show like Keeping Up With The Kardashians or The Girls Next Door. He didn't say those exact words, but you get the basic idea. When I heard he wasn't doing a reality show, I feared for something even worse than a reality show. Is that possible, you ask? Yes, and it exists in the form of lame sitcoms with laugh tracks (Flavor Flav's Under One Roof). Fortunately, Kanye isn't doing a sitcom either, at least not in the classical sense. According to Hollywood Insider, HBO- the only channel the consistently delivers good television- is working on bringing writer Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld) and Mr. West together for a one-camera-style show. For those not familiar with the single-camera setup, it's what they use in The Office and Arrested Development. You knew Kanye wouldn't do a typical show, right?

Paris Tokyo Remix

Patience is a virtue. I'm glad this isn't going to be some typical remix with Jeezy, Weezy, R. Kelly, and Michael Jackson (actually, MJ would be dope). Q-Tip and Pharrell? Not bad. Courtesy of Nah Right.

BlindI Coming Back

If you read my post, Blinded With Anticipation, you know how I feel about Blind I For The Kids. Then you'll know I'm pretty hyped about the return of BlindI this Monday. Get ready for the freshness.

The Complex cover everyone's talking about

For their style issue, Complex hooked up with N.E.R.D. and Lupe, two artists well known for their style choices. "In my Fall of Rome jeans, my headporter wallet/My Neighborhood shirt and my Eddie Chen clock shit." Anyways, last year Kanye broke down both the alphabet and his style and I expect Pharrell is doing the same thing in this year's issue. The N.E.R.D. cover was done by graffiti master KAWS, and the Lupe side was Todd "REAS" James. My shift button didn't know what it was in for before that sentence.

Here are a couple videos that show how it all went down:

A look at the N.E.R.D. shoot. The Converse ad with Pharrell, Santogold, and Julian Casablancas is at the end for some reason.

Here's an interview with KAWS

A look at the Lupe shoot.

Lupe talks about his favorite designs/designers. It's basically "Gold Watch" slowed down.

Shortstop joins list of athletes who suck at not getting injured funny

Yesterday, I talked about how Ken Griffey went down so many times in his career. Well, at least when he got hurt, he was playing his sport, unlike Padres shortstop Khalil Green. Green, who is one of the best defensive shortstops in baseball, broke his left hand punching a storage closet. The funniest part of this story was an ESPN The Magazine article written a couple years ago that talked about Green's odd sense of inner-peace. I guess he take the trippy surfer-boy out of Hawaii and he turns into a less offensive Bob Knight.

Some other athletes who have been injured in humorous ways:

Miami Dolphin David Bowens tore his ACL jumping off a ladder after changing a light bulb.

Washington Redskin Gus Frerotte got a concussion slamming his head against a concrete wall while celebrating a touchdown like he was a caveman.

Jacksonville Jaguar Chris Hanson gashed his foot when he swung an ax. The ax was in the locker room because coach Jack Del Rio decided it would boost morale with an old school "keep chopping wood" theme. Nice.

Sacramento King Lionel Simmons suffered wrist tendinitis after playing an excessive amount of Nintendo Game Boy.

Fresh New Lupe

Here's an unreleased track by my favorite rapper in the business. I wrote up a whole thing about my "no homo" love affair with Lupe before blogger had an error and I don't feel like rewriting it. All you need to know is I'm a big fan of his work. The track is called U Don't Know.

How in the world did MTV rank Lupe only 7th in the top-ten MCs list? Behind Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, and 50? Wow.

Wheel Of Misfortune

The point of being on Wheel Of Fortune is showcasing your ability to spell and solve puzzles, this man possesses neither of those abilities.

Air Yeezy Not For Sale

Sorry, 'Ye-heads. According to an article by sole collector, the Nike/ Kanye collaboration shoe is for Mr. West's feet only. Ever since he wore them at the Grammys, shoe lovers- myself included- have been looking forward to their release. No dice. It appears that even though the shoe has been made in a plethora of colorways, none will be released to the public. I guess this is Nike's ever changing promotional technique. Really? Not one? Talk about super-exclusive. This is like Bapes on steroids.

My bold prediction: Nike will in fact release these to the public, but wait until '09 and keep as salivating with anticipation. After spending a year wishing we could get our hands on a pair, Nike will release them and nobody will complain about dropping $300 at Champs for them. Also look out for tons of fakes on EBay in the coming months.
