Boogie Nights is the font created by Nick Curtis... which is not the same.
Does anyone know the real name for this font?
Thanks

haha "Pitbull"
I think it might be a novelty face made especially for the job.

It and the Boogie Nights font are one in the same, so that's not possible

Oaky, drzprettiboii99, this has been bothering me, so I finally pulled out my Rookledge's to get to the bottom of it. I'm absolutely convinced that this face is a modified version of ITC's Aki Lines by Akira Kobayashi (http://www.monotypeimaging.com/ProductsServices/TypeDesignerShowcase/AkiraKobayashi/). The only reason I say it's modified is because the terminals of the uppercase E meet the stem with rounded corners rather than the square ones seen in your image. (The font used for "Boogie Nights," by the way, looks like a true version of the face.)
I can't even find ITC Aki Lines through Google, but I did find this imitation: Akka (http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=akka&page=1&nb_ppp_old=10&text=anthony+hamilton&nb_ppp=10&classt=alpha)
I think whoever did this guy's design used a copy or modified it after converting it to outlines.

Also: it's pretty much a variation on Bauhaus!

It looks like Aki Lines to me too.
Here's (http://www.bowfinprintworks.com/LinedFontGuide01.html)a good site for this by the way.

Not sure if we are referencing the same font... but Boogie Nights is not the same:

Is there a different one?
