Free Huey | Radical Ramblings~

In the words of Akala: "I don't think aspiring to be materially comfortable make you a capitalist, but it's about what you're willing to do."

The whole mindframe that one simply seeking material comfort in, say, a home to sleep, good food to eat and being able to provide for your kids isn't an issue to me. It's this narrative that we need 4 Bentleys, Indoor Swimming Pools, a giant mansion that I contend with. This notion that a man with 50 million, needs 50 million more...

Jazmine Video INTRO Edit Skeleton

What the title says. I still get caught up in small stuff like this.

Jazmine Video Snippet Soon

Working on Academy.

But, I'm working on a short briefly patreon exclusive Jazmine video. I figure it'll be fun. More stuff in the coming weeks. 

Thumbnail not final, but you get the idea~

I've been recently sharing a lot of stuff in regards to Jazmine Dubois on my socials.  Clips, snippets, whathaveyou. Now, I was pretty excited to see this character announced in The Boondocks' Reboot return.

Something I saw people questioning was her purpose and whether or not she should even return if she has such a minor role in the series. Though, I think her role is pretty damn essential in not only how it helps frame Huey and Riley's character's respectively, but allowing us t...

OPERATION EXODUS | Creating the Sensitivity Video

New series exclusive to patrons. I'll try get these out whenever I can. Deffo expect them after major videos.  These are the podcast-like episodes that I was talking about earlier.  I figured it'd be a more interesting way to present some of the Behind the Scenes stuff.

Sounds fun. Should I do more of these? I don't know, but if I did, I probably shouldn't add the TV effect. This shit took 6 hours to render because of it.

The Boondocks | Misunderstanding Sensitivity

I have literally not slept properly in 48 hours. I'll hit you guys with the exclusives starting this week about the crazy weird production of this video. For now, I need sleeeeeeeep. Much love for the support, y'all.

This is where we at.

Nearly done I think...? The problem with these videos is that I hate to be visually lazy and just play a bunch of Boondocks footage so I try to incorporate as much of the strip as I can.

The only downside being that makes it take longer because of how long it takes for me to present in a way I'm happy with. After all, there's nothing visually interesting about watching a slideshow of strips. I'll talk more about this process with the video drops.

SAMPLE VIDEO INTRO

Man, I waste too much time on shit like this. The new video should be dropping early sometime in the next few days depending on how editing goes. I'm thinking of integrating a podcast-like thing to the Patreon. Would you guys for down for that? Just a chill conservation about whatever every so often. 

I figure it'd be nice.

I don't know. Maybe, I'm getting too ambitious lol. Anyway, full thing will be here soonish...? This video is certainly going to be interesting to watch d...

Featured Song of the Next Video #1

Heard this on Chappelle Show years ago. Criminally underrated. Featuring it in the sensitivity video. More tracklist posts in time.

I tend to try to write with a song in mind, and this is the song that has been stuck in my head while writing. Love De La Soul. Shoot em' a listen if you haven't already.

Deciding between the three, but you get the jist.

ALSO, I forgot to credit my patrons in the last video, and I promise to rectify that this time. 

I've said this before, but I tend to work the hardest when I'm pissed off. And well... lmao. This has been pissin' me off for a minute, and I figure people need their annual left wing wake up call mixed with some spicy Boondocks.

Boondocks' audience is certainly vast. It'll be interesting to see how this goes. 

"This Generation Too Sensitive"

I've been encountering this more and more as the days go by, and I'm finding the whole prospect beyond ridiculous. These half-baked backwards outlooks on progressive politics, and how its all made our generation and the people in it 'too sensitive' which to me, just sounds like a pretentious bullshit way of going "I suffered, so everyone else has to too."

It's kind of like if during the Civil Rights Era, a bunch of a black people saw figures like MLK and X, and went: 2019-11-24 17:08:35 +0000 UTC View Post

Next Video Art

With some more on the way, depending on how things go. 

The Current Video Plan.

I understand there's a lot of confusion regarding what I'm doing and where I'm going with the channel. So, I'll try and clarify what the next few videos are supposed to be.

As a promise to the Ace Attorney heads, I'm putting out Turnabout Academy first in order to finish that two part series. The reason it's taking so long is cause' it's a long ass script. Right now, I'm on 26 pages, which is roughly 55 minutes. The longest video I've e...

Experimenting w/ Academy

I decided to test working on Turnabout Academy while, ahem, likes saaaaaaaaay, not sober. We shall never speak of this.

Old Ideas and Old Struggles.

I had a cool idea a year ago to make a series dedicated to Boondocks' history, and I was planning on going through year by year and discussing the issues The Boondocks tackled while on that journey. 

While that hasn't ended up happening, the Rebooting Boondocks video, alongside Operation Black Steel: Black Identity kind of filled that void. I still intend to loosely reference my love for the comic strip in the future, but I don't feel the need to t...

Rebootin' Boondocks

It's finally here. A retrospective look back on Boondocks' history with reboots.

Exclusive Preview: A Right to be Hostile INTRO/TEASER

It's been long and quiet, but we workin', trust me.
