While Beyonce was off running the world last night, Jiggaman took the stage at NYC’s Roseland Ballroom to perform for Adult Swim’s “Upfront” soiree. The correlation between the two? Beats me but there’s speculation of a cartoon in the works. Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t talk with many rappers on a frequent basis but Mike’s the standing exception. Usually, the conversations center around life, whatever music we’re listening to, Atlanta stories, politics and hood bullshit. Occasionally, the discussion will venture into where he’s headed musically and in our last conversation we spoke on the lack of authentic voices in music, ones that say something that sticks to your ribs as my grandmother would say.

Mike Bigga spends his birthday with Adult Swim, touring them around his typical day in the A. Also starring Ms. Ann, Pill and Grandma, the camera allows us to watch as Killer gets cussed out, visits the studio to lay a few verses, does a few drops for The Boondocks…and eats. What? The man’s name is Bigga and he’s proud of it so you know there would be a few food stops along the way. Above all, the video is authentic. A portrait of the artist as a common man.

*Straps on backpack*

2003-2004 was the David D. backpack era. My prized possession in my Jansport was Madvillainy, which is a polarizing album as people either hate it or absolutely love it.

Expect the project to come out the day after DOOM actually shows up to a concert. Read the rest of this entry »

How do you get railed by characters you created? Not sure but Aaron McGruder ends of up on the receiving end of a profane rant by Stinkmeaner for taking too long to bring back The Boondocks.

Season Three begins Sunday on Adult Swim; go ahead & set your reminders. Read the rest of this entry »

These unofficial updates from Boondocks Bootleg keep getting better each time around. The trailer for season three of “The Boondocks” hit YouTube, using “Exhibit C” as the backing track and the phrase “The truth is back” as part of it’s slogan. And it looks like all of the favored animated rapscallions and rebels will be back bringing the ruckus come May 2nd on Adult Swim. Read the rest of this entry »

Pardon the slacker behavior. As a purveyor of news and information, I’ve been meaning to make everyone aware of the presence of Boondocks Bootleg for over a week now. I guess the Hon. Brother McGruder noticed the huge online reaction received the last time he leaked screenshots and decided to organize the action a little. Read the rest of this entry »
