The New York Times, in typical NYTimes privileged fashion has discovered that negroes are riding skateboards(again!). You already know that I hate the pandering liberal, closeted conservatism of the New York Times. These are the same faux liberal fuckwads that railroaded the six Harlem teenagers falsely accused of raping the Central Park jogger. The NYTimes threw them dudes under the proverbial bus in the worst way. So I am always suspect whenever they run a story that mentions Black youth. Don’t sleep on these supremacists either, in the NYTimes newsroom nooses are referred to as tree accessories.
It turns out that one of the intrepid reporters from the Times, some relocated Mid-Westerner caught a glimpse of some Black kids doing kick flips in front of the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Their attire must have emboldened him to ask the kids a few questions about their reasons for grinding in front of the museum. Of course, PHARRELL WILLIAMS was credited with the fad of skateboarding in the urban community as well as Lupe Fiasco. What was odd to me was that the reporter didn’t dig any further into the urban skate scene than STEVIE WILLIAMS. Typical of the NYTimes to keep their reporting a generic commodification of the true urban skate scene.
My homey IAN REID has been grinding boards from Bed-Stuy to Bangkhok, from Fort Greene to fucking… Yeah! My dude is the underground center city skate king and if you ever saw the video ‘Sex, ‘Hood, Skate & Videotape’ you would already know what’s good. I’m not trying to take anything away from STEVIE WILLIAMS or HAROLD HUNTER (GOD bless the dead), but my nigga IAN goes in with all the street skaters. IAN’s video is a mix of bumfights, drunk nude chicks and yeah, skateboarding. Shit is hardbody as fuck. You don’t believe me? Watch the fucking trailer.
