"Oh You Ain't Know? Boom Got Them Dos!!"


This is something I just came upon randomly and thought was very funny. The Boom Tho Movement is not really a movement at all, but Rod Benson (above) has been able to make some catchy songs and elementary music videos using the motto, that are good for a laugh at least. We're not sure exactly how you use the phrase, but it doesn't really seem to matter.

Benson played hoop at Cal a few years ago and has been playing in the NBA Developmental League for the last few years, averaging 17 points and 11 rebounds per game. Though Mr. Benson was skinny enough to be featured in a Sally Struthers starvation special, he was always the most hyped up player on the court and always good for a few laughs. In keeping with tradition, he has managed to produce more laughs for us even while playing in a basketball crazed state like North Dakota.

If you have not heard about The Boom Tho Movement, I don't blame you. Basically, Rod and his boy JGant have been putting together some very interesting songs (emphasis on interesting) that are culminating in a mixtape that will be out very soon. Although I do not take any of this serious, I must admit the songs have been stuck in my head for a couple days now. After doing a little research, I also found out that Rod runs a successful blog in addition to contributing an occasional piece to the Yahoo sports blog. As you can see in his music videos, Rod has spread his "movement" everywhere that he has gone, and managed to create some buzz around Boom Tho.

We love your work Rod and give you major props for being able to use your funny personality to entertain us. Stay tuned for the mixtape and always remember, BOOM GOT THEM DOS!!!

Below is the second of three videos he has made and the one that I think is the best. Here are the links to the first and third Boom videos.
