Okay so I kind of wanted the first "official post" for this blog to be an all staff article, but I really had to post about this.
First thing's first: The Boondocks is back. Jeez I have been waiting for this moment ever since I finished Season 3 in early 2012. Many have been waiting longer. After ending Season 3 with the fantastic episode "It's Goin' Down," in 2010, it seemed like the world would have to wait to see another Boondocks season anytime soon. In early 2013, Aaron McGruder, the creator of the series, revealed that a project was in the works, but it just ended up being that awful live action Uncle Ruckus Movie that failed to reach it's Kickstarter goal. That makes it all the more awesome that now, less than a year later, we have a trailer and a premier date.
And, as if that wasn't awesome enough, the trailer is set to a J Dilla beat/introduction. This is the alternate intro from the Stone's Throw re-release of Jay Dee's "Ruff Draft" EP, which, for those who know the Dilla chronology, originally came out only a few months before the release of Jaylib, Jay's legendary collaboration with LA producer extraordinaire, Madlib. Stone's Throw reissued the project in 2007, with additional tracks, including the one featured in this trailer.
Check out the trailer below.
