"I'm Coming Home Again..."

One of the latest-and greatest- G.O.O.D. Music affiliates made the round-trip home from the UK back to his hometown the other night. Take a gander at the video derived from his homecoming below performing Day N Nite, which apparently is as popular overseas as it is in the states, if not more.

Talk about a crowd interactive concert; people are straight kickin' it on stage with CuDi. Homie needs to come to the Miami area in the near future.


BTW check the pink G-Shock and the 6's. Dude is so nice right now.

Happy Thanksgiving from The Boogie

The one holiday where its okay to never set foot off the couch, while watching some football (maybe not the best this season) and gorging your face with home-cooked food.

Happy Thanksgiving to our readers...we know you're out there,

The Boogie.

Keep Bouncin' (Continued)

Those are no lights around Tip; Kamal the Abstract has a glowing aura that he carries with him constantly while rockin' the mic. In short, the 2k Sports Bounce Tour was on some dope sh*t. So many memorable moments from The Knux, Mikey and Chuck, and of course Tip. Lemme breakdown the night chronologically the best I can for ya'll:
The Knux opened up and repped Nola hard. I'm assuming like 3% of the spectators-which would be me and my buddies-had even heard of the Knux before, but they had the club jumping with Bang! Bang! and Cappuccino. They had a short set but it was a nice performance to start the night off right.
Proceeding them was Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish of Illville:


Boys know how to cold rock a party(did I mention I was front row?!). They jumped right into "One, Two" and then did jus about everything-besides Delivery Man- from "88" to Oscar. They also spit some new joint which needs to drop now. The highlight for me was "Bassment Party" which got the crow real live, and my buddy shouting out the Boogie on the mic, courtesy of Mikey. LOL. They fittingly rapped up their set with "Black Mags" and left. Killed it.

Finally, after an hour of delay, I mean waiting:

Man, I didn't know Tip could go so hard. He got the place rocking with the eloquent words of our President-Elect, and went into, you guessed it, Shaka. Me and my homies were holdin' up the "O" for Obama, and we had Q doing the same short after. That was crazy. Later, Tip showed why he does such a dope live show:

Thats right; man straight up hopped on the 2500 and went to work. So amazing.

He must have done about 15 or so records, but somewhere in between this happened:

The famous DJ (Superman) Scratch stole the show, sorta. He had the whole stage to himself as you can see and got the crowd hyped. He played a teaser of Hova's Public Service Announcement(at which point i glanced at the upper VIP section and saw Diddy? WTF? LOL)and followed with an array of tracks like "Engine Number 9" "Ante Up" and "Simon Says." Q had to come on the mic and ask permission to come back on stage.
He eventually came back and took us back to his circa 1992 days in the Tribe. With the joints that defined who they were, Tip jammed with Electric Relaxation, Scenario, Award Tour, and Check the Rhyme. Towards the end of the first verse of the latter song, Tip handed over the mic and I got to spit a bar or so. Sh*t was hella crazy.

For those of ya'll who haven't check out the tour yet, I suggest you hop in your automobile now and head to the House of Blues to catch the trio live in O-Town tomorrow

I leave ya'll with this:


R.I.P. Jay Dee. Your man Kamal got you.

Air Yeezys ARE for sale

Does anyone remember how Sole Collector did an article on the Air Yeezy and said they wouldn't be for sale to the public? Well, as I had predicted when I first read that article, this only meant it would be a while before they went for sale. According to Kanye:

The Louis Sneakers are coming out REEEEETARDED and the Yeezy's drop in march.

There you have it. March 2009, when I'm watching the Tarheels take the national title, the Yeezys will be dropping and backpackers everywhere will be lining up so they can drop $300 on Kanye kicks.

Want proof that I called this. Check out this post.

Check My Fresh: Part Deux

Sorry for the rather large void since the inaugural edition, but I've returned with a vengence, homes. Above is a tee derived from the first batch of joints that Clipse's own Play Clothes has yet to offer, and they're tight until the casket drops (I'm kinda excited).

Anyways, the spot I'm featuring goes by the name of Commonwealth, and its headquarters are based in the VA and DC. Peep the site and consider your wardrobe redone.

Bonus: Clipse- Play Cloths Intro

And don't forget..."Road to 'Til the Casket Drops" mixtape dropping 12.01.08!

Whats Your Name Again?

SEMTEX TV - G.O.O.D. MUSIC BACKSTAGE [FEAT KID CUDI, MR HUDSON, CONSEQUENCE] from DJ SEMTEX on Vimeo.
The almighty DJ Semtex kicks it with the Cons (fool, word!), CuDi, and Mr. Hudson backstage on the GITDDT-thats the Glow In The Dark Dream Tour- which I'm lately envying with the new lineup it maintains, which is rolling squad deep. Remember that Mr. Hudson guy I briefly spoke about before? Well take a look see around the ten-minute mark and get a first impression of the singer/songwriter.

If that doesn't impress you, I assure you this track will. Have a listen

The Limited Edition

Some of us here at The Boogie had to wait until today to grab Ye's album, but I'm happy I waited, and that I stopped listening to leaks after hearing Love Lockdown, Heartless and Coldest Winter.

I walked into Best Buy today to find to versions of 808s & Heartbreak sitting in front of me: the hard case/standard and the soft case/limited edition.

I'm guessing the only difference is the bottom pic (the lyrics sprawled out on a second booklet, which the hard case doesn't have?).

I've enjoyed this album quite a bit, though this would still rank 4th in terms of Kanye's work, in my opinion (Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, 808s).

Its a toss-up in terms of my favorite track. I've loved Coldest Winter since the first time I heard it, but Robocop is a very close second, the true studio cut is amazing.

I don't dislike any track on this album, but I could do without Weezy's feature on See You In My Nightmares. He sounds like a dying dog on a few notes.

I'm praying Kanye drops a studio version of Pinocchio Story (the 12th track). It would be amazing all doped up on synth and autotune.

That's my two cents on it.

Dope? Nope.

This is not one of Kanye's best live performances, to say the least. His voice was way off. No, Kanye, I'm not hating, I'm just calling it like I see it. Plus, the women in the background are tripping on something. They look out of it. And the raccoon tail, come one. You're a trendsetter, so I'm sure there is going to be plenty of pole-jockers wearing these sometime in the future, but it was NOT a good look.

Sorry Kanye. I know you take stuff like this personally- and it's what I like about you most- but this was just not good. I can't really find anything positive to say other than "Your shades were pretty cool."

I'm sure Skateboard D will disagree with me. I'm not a hater, I'm just a man with an opinion.

Never On Schedule, But Always On Time

Thats right. You're staring at Ye's ground-breaking, straying from his normal boundaries album 808's and Heartbreak which is supposed to drop TOMORROW(!), but I happen to have gotten my hands on it. Apparently someone f*cked up, big time. And believe me, I'm not messing with ya'll and it's not some photo-shopped procedure I have created. I don't have the steady hands and the technology to perform an operation like that. Anyways, I don't know who else is aware of this but I may be one of the very few to obtain this album thus far.

As you may or may not be right now, I was in a state of perplexion but am fully taking advantage of this opportunity. The wait is over-for me at least. Sh*t is so fresh right now, my Zune can't even recognize the CD, hence myself acclaiming it one of the biggest f*ck ups in some time, but whatever.



Sidenote: For all ya'll thinking they were up on their sh*t saying that Kid Cudi was providing the vocals for Paranoid, you were wrong. He was replaced by this guy and I will further elaborate on this topic later


"Soooo Amazzzingggggg..."


*UPDATE*
Kanye performed a dope set tonite at the AMA's and we'll surely have the performance up in just a few hours.

Steve Jobs targets backpackers as his newest market to take over

For all the Boondocks-heads out there, iTunes has just released every episode. Yes, every episode. This includes the 2 BET-related episodes that never aired in America. If you never saw them, they are available on iTunes (or you can download it for free somewhere else, it's up to you).
