Cam’ron’s advantages in this battle are located within his devout fanbase, both those who take him seriously, and neglect the fact that he probably never made it past the 2nd grade and the possibility that his verses are really written by a ten year old in addition to those SoHo/Williamsburg/L.E.S doofuses who kill every potentially great thing that might come to light within this pop culture world of ours and worship Killa as much as they do their $900 Dunks they slept outside Recon for. His ability to say the most absurd things and entertain at the same time is one of the great contradictions that humans will probably never overcome.
Flipmode seems to have their priorities in order. Their video is free, Rob Campbell is in it a couple of times, and their work doesn’t show scenes of girls shitting out packs of coke on the floor. Although it’s hard for them to deny the fact that they obviously swagger-jacked Cam’ron’s three-year-ago trademark of wearing pink, granted that at least three people in this video can be spotted with pink griptape, laces or wheels, they tend to be breaking away into a stylistic category of their own, building a school of style different than that handed down to them by Mr. Giles, and we shall see if the old principle of “a student not being able to fuck with a teacher” holds up in the battle of home-made video giants.
Jasonwear Retrospective
August 4th, 2006 | 3:27 am | Footage | No Comments
As a true legend of the internet’s skateboarding multimedia community, it remains a mystery as to why Jasonwear fell off the face of the earth. Some have reported seeing him in the hallways of Columbia University, with a barrage of schoolbooks in his hands, others insist that he tried to sell them books on the Hare Krishna Movement on Houston Street, and a select few swear they saw him lying in a puddle of piss under the Astor Place Cube with a needle in his arm. Wherever he may be, this is a retrospective on the man’s many great moments on the internet, and several others that you were not cool enough to see.
