Boogie<\/a> is good. Coldplay circa 2002 is\u2026fine. I guess, potentially great if you\u2019re Jay-Z. Nevertheless, the Compton rapper\u2019s \u201cSilent Ride\u201d video looks very similar to Coldplay\u2019s classic video of Chris Martin walking backward through the streets like a psycho person and the Pharcyde\u2019s \u201cDrop.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0\u201cSilent Ride\u201d is a narrative told in reverse where Boogie<\/a> travels from a baptism by his peers, into a house for a striptease and finally into a car where it appears he\u2019s about to perform some violent act.<\/p>\n

As Boogie tends to do, \u201cSilent Ride\u201d is a dry critique of youth culture. The bars are relatable (\u201cI don\u2019t store they numbers, just instead\/I start scrolling through the texts and look for pictures in the thread\u201d) and darkly truthful (\u201cyou\u2019re only banging \u2019cause of streaming, ain\u2019t ya?\/You\u2019re only gang when it\u2019s convenient, ain\u2019t ya?\u201d). It\u2019s a fitting single as he embarks on the next part of his career.<\/p>\n
