Shaun Boothe “Unauthorized Biography of Sean Combs” (Video)

I really think this Shaun Boothe cat is going to do big things. I posted up a collaboration he did with Amanda Diva called Music Man back in April (see Shaun Boothe feat. Amanda Diva “Music Man” (VIDEO)) and I’ve continued to be impressed with the stuff he’s delivered since then.

He’s got a sense of creativity that is certainly outside the box in terms of mainstream hip-hop, yet his songs and videos don’t get overly artistic, which will usually translate into something more recognizable as backpack or emo rap and bore me to death.

His latest project, Unauthorized Biography of Sean Combs, is a video dedication to the career of P.Diddy, as told through Sean’s raps and the accompanying visuals. This is the 6th Biography video in a 12 part series and he states the next story will highlight the career of Oprah. Side note: Did Oprah get her hip-hop pass reinstated?

B.o.B aka Bobby Ray “No Mans Land” (VIDEO)

It seems like I’ve been saying this dude is going to be the next to blow up in the hip-hop world for 2 years now (see Do You Know Who B.o.B. is Yet?). I recently described B.o.B. as the biggest hip-hop artist no one has ever heard of, due to his success in major placements for his music and sponsorships.

Well, it appears that he’s finally getting a push, as a video surfaced last week with Bobby Ray and Atlantic Records President Julie Greenwald clowning around about the label finally being ready to back him.

His debut album will reportedly drop in April 2010. I’m already excited.

Lupe Fiasco Crashes Redman and Method Man Show

This video brought a smile to my face. While sometimes crashing the stage uninvited may not be embraced by those performing (what up Lil Mama), Red & Meth seemed to thoroughly enjoy Lupe popping up from the DJ booth as they closed out their set in Chicago the other night. Peep the video and read the first-hand account about how it went down after the jump.
