Tribute or Tragedy?: “Buggin Out ’09â€

Artist:

Track:
Updated from A Tribe Called Quest's 1991 classic The Low End Theory, "Buggin' Out" gets a (hyphy) color-scheme and bigger, buggier-eyed verses from Consequence and Kid Cudi, both on GOOD Music, better known as Kanye's label. But I guess Cudi is ducking out before he even debuts his album. No, don't go, we need you! This one can be found on J. Period's mixtape The [Abstract] Best.
On the wordsmith side of things, if you feel adventurous, like you want to start bringing the word "buggin'" back to your vernacular, look no further than the classic teen film "Clueless" (Amy Heckerling's ode to Jane Austen..which, again, begs the question, tribute or tragedy?)
"I'm, like, totally buggin'. My cell phone is bigger than Zack Morris."
How to Be Buggin':
Cher says: "Oh, my God. I am totally buggin'. I feel like such a bonehead." (context: the super cute dude you're into is actually gay. BUGGIN'!)
Cher: "I said R.S.V.P. because it was a sit-down dinner. But people came that like, did not R.S.V.P. so I was like, totally buggin'." (context: last-minute party arrangements. BUGGIN'!)

That is a pretty disappointing Cordero video. Must have been a low budget. Really low, LIKE 0. Buggin!
video was awful, but I don't mind the version of the song...
Ummm... doesn't CuDi know that Lupe already made this statement?
Anyway, he just came through Boston with Common like last week... he'll be back.
I read in rolling stone this morning that the 90's are coming back in vogue! seems like we barely started to relive the 80s but i guess grunge is better suited to recession than disco and pop. we be buggin!
I actually like the Cudi and Consequence cover. Cudi is really buggin' with those jeans though.
I LOVE your new pic!!!!! Like the Dandy Warhols said...
Hey, gal what a really great AVATAR, it is very pretty!!
Garage Rock....her mother hopes that is a bubble pipe!
I admire a video with Zero dollars spent on the production budget
i liked the cover of the song and thought the video was silliness in a half-good way.
dansemcabre, haha, i have had enough of the 80s-love....pretty ready to get grungey again!
elmanolete and Garage Rock, thanks!! haha, and nice video accompaniment, GR.
You've gotta love the line "People got more baggage than J.F.K...and I'm talkin' about the airport, man...you gotta smoke it!" lol :-)
hahaa definitely!
