Production Breakdown: The Roots’ “Dear God 2.0”

Posted by Richard on 05/29/10 | Filed under Features, Videos, Production Breakdown, The Roots

The Roots' latest single, "Dear God 2.0" was highly acclaimed by Booth readers - not least for the pensive instrumental, sampled from a similarly-titled cut by indie rock supergroup Monsters of Folk. Though I assumed that ?uest and co. had reworked M.O.F's track considerably, I was a little surprised at what I heard when I checked out the original. Read more/watch video...

Big Boi Gets Crazy Futuristic on “Shutterbug” Video

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/27/10 | Filed under Videos, Big Boi

Big Boi's new single "Shutterbug" was insanely dope, so it's only right that the video for the "should be more of a" hit single takes the insanity to the next level. Featuring, in no particular order, puppets, Keri Hilson, neon body suits, a decapitated Big Boi, keg stands, puppets and, of course, hot models, "Shutterbug" is a must watch. See more...

Production Breakdown: Eric B. and Rakim’s “Don’t Sweat the Technique”

Posted by Richard on 05/21/10 | Filed under Features, Videos, Production Breakdown, ArtOfficial, Eric B and Rakim

A couple weeks back, I used < “Show Me Change,” a cut off ArtOfficial's "Payback" street album, as an excuse to delve into the genius that was Just Blaze's “Show Me What You Got” instrumental. Well, this week, the Miami ensemble stepped into the Booth again, this time to put their own spin on “Don't Sweat the Technique,” title track and minor hit off Eric B. and Rakim's final full-length as a duo. And, as we all know, I'm not one to pass up the opportunity to dissect a hip-hop classic of this caliber. Read More/Watch...

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/20/10 | Filed under Features, Videos, Throwback Thursday

I can't remember exactly, but I'm sure there was a time when my mom walked through the living room, saw me watching Digital Undergrounds "Humpty Dance" video on MTV and immediately considered canceling our cable. There aren't a lot of songs that can have that kind of effect, but Shock G and Digital Underground's "Humpty Dance" is one of them. See more...
