The club was poppin’ off last week, with Shaun Boothe’s “Hip Hop in 3D” event at Circa nightclub. The night served not only as a raging party, it also premiered Shaun’s new video “Poor Boy” (a hawt and dirrrty track!)…the track is fantastic, the video really sets it apart from the regular ass-n-titty/money-money videos that saturate the hip hop market. Part of the deal: 3d glasses handed out at the party – keep them if you were there! The album artwork on the cd is done in 3D (and you can always use them for the Night of the Living Dead 3D remake, which never comes with the 3D glasses when you rent them, probably cuz people like Bobby steal them.)
They often say there are 3 sides to the story; one side, the other side and the truth. Shaun is an artist whose music speaks to that 3rd angle. In a rap world of super-gangsters and pimps, preachers and revolutionaries, Shaun’s music is alien. Discontent with the current state of what he sees as “1 dimensional” rap music, Shaun Boothe always brings the 3rd dimension out. When attacking a concept/subject he shows all the angles.
One of the really cool things Shaun’s done is his autobiography series. He does a rap song sharing the life of someone famous, from all different angles, of course. At the party we got to hear/see his rap and video for the lives of Mohammed Ali and Puff Daddy. Now, these two celebs in particular have so many biographies and the like done about them. Overdone you might even say. But here’s where Shaun has done the unimaginable. I don’t know how he did it, but he’s managed to put a freshness and – you guessed it – a new dimension on their remarkable lives.
If you missed it, I’m sorry. Truly.
Here’s a taste of what you missed – Poor Boy (Dirty) – Shaun Boothe (it’s a mediafire file, hooray! not annoying!)
