Philly Story

Boone may never make another song as good as Pop A Perc, but his latest single Shout Out suggests he has a future career as the Yasujirō Ozu of rap video cinematography. Not since Japan's Master of Minimalism knocked shit out the box by containing all the drama within a single frame, has anyone had such an innate flair for creating sublime poetic imagery with nothing more than a video camera positioned at knee-height and a room with 2 or 3 inhabitants.


Boone - Shout Out
(From YouTube; 2016)



The Pop A Perc remix with French Montana & E-40 managed to make a pig's ear out of a silk purse, so a Shout Out remix should be the exact same song, just with a new video featuring the killer whale with a heavy tail from the Pop A Perc clip having an arse-battle with the Shout Out video chick. Two full moons for Boone in the middle of an afternoon in June.
