As per the results of your votes for the third installment of the QS Since Day One remixes, Peter Ramondetta’s part is the next, and final full-part chapter from the video. If you’re familiar with this website’s soundtrack biases, and have seen a Ramondetta part before, you already know that the music associated with each couldn’t be further apart. Luckily, the crew at Real is pretty “Do whatever the hell you want” about everything, allowing us to create perhaps the first non-metal / AC/DC / angry-white-music Ramondetta part. Sorry to disappoint the people (i.e. Marquez) who would blurt out “Don’t say motherfucker, motherfucker” at random moments for the entire year after Roll Forever came out. We’d consider utilizing Turbonegro if they had a song with a 2 Chainz feature. They might just be the only musical act on the planet who have yet to summon his services for a guest verse.

Teaser below. Remix online next week. Extended Since Day One B-sides to follow. Still waiting on Ty Evans to get in touch with us regarding a honorary Pretty Sweet guest edit slot. Previously: Dennis Busenitz remix, Ishod Wair remix, DVD extras + Todd Shaw re-edit.

Have a good weekend.

Capone-N-Noreaga-N-Tragedy’s The War Report A.K.A. one of the top three rap albums ever recorded, turned 15 yesterday. Just listen through the whole thing.

Vote for the next QS Since Day One remix. We all wish there was a hidden vault of unreleased Huf b-sides somewhere, but that probably isn’t the case…

Divison East in Montclair, NJ has closed up shop. However, they launched an online store carrying only local brands. Buy something and support New Jersey’s economy. (The 28th best state economy!)

Zered Bassett has a new commercial out to promote his guest board on UXA. The turnaround on someone skating to “Mercy” was pretty quick, huh? There’s a quick article about the release over on Red Bull site. P.S. QS x Zered video coming soon.

Five on That is a New York-based video that has been going online part-by-part over the past several weeks. You can check out the uploaded parts on this YouTube page. Teaser here. We’ll be disappointed if the ender section isn’t edited to Luniz.

The Flipmode Squad and a Flip cam. It might be an ad for Sunglass Hut.

Lil’ Wayne’s favorite skater is Nyjah Huston. Big surprise from a Packers and Heat fan. Way to take the hard way out, bro. Also, this is the only comment on the article.

New spot in Midtown. Two Flushing-height marble ledges without real ends on top of a three-stair platform. Same material as the new Grace ledges (!!!). The not-much-of-a-“spot” that it got built in place of wasn’t really a bust before, but it won’t be surprising if the new one is. New York = if the spot is good, it’s a bust.

For no reason, here’s a montage from the last Big Brother video edited to Daft Punk:

Any video part edited to Cam will most likely get posted here, even if it’s three weeks late.

It’s ridiculous how good this dude is at skateboarding. Fun Fact: A notable Spanish skateboarder once told me the ground at Para-lel “wasn’t great.”

A San Francisco Skate Part By A New York Skate Site

Between the Rick Ross cameo, the (admittedly odd) match-up of the “Song of 2011” and Brandon Westgate, a foray into what No Limit’s creative direction would have been had it taken up an interest in skateboarding circa 1996, and recession anthems, we kinda ran the full-course with rap music re-edits. At least for this one time. Though Busenitz and 2 Chainz both do both end with a “z,” so there’s that. (2 Boardz?)

Here’s a more soulful rendition of Dennis Busenitz’s Since Day One part (that seemed to have worked for S.F. videos in the past.) Real is also holding a poll over on their Facebook page for the next and maybe last part from Since Day One that you would like to see ~~edited to “Cashing Out”~~ (kidding) remixed by Quartersnacks. Democracy only works when people participate, so go over there and vote, because you guys all blew it on the voting for the Fred Gall thing and let the kids win.

Still holding it down for all the tall tee wearers out there.

We’re going to be dropping another QS Since Day One remix in the next week, week-and-a-half. A New York skate site is going to try and make a San Francisco skate part (sorry, no KRS-One.) We’ll see how that one goes. Busenitz skated to a song that was in an older Baker video in Since Day One, plus him and Brandon Westgate are probably the only people who take pushes while doing lines down hills (always a plus), so a remix to his part seemed like a natural choice. (Taking a break from the trap rap this time around.) Expect some extra unseen b-side footage thrown in there.

Quick teaser below. (“A teaser for a part that already came out bro?!”) Previously: Ishod Wair SDO re-edit, Since Day One DVD extras re-edit.

On a completely unrelated note: Remember how this time, three years ago, Gucci Mane got out of jail, dropped The Writing on the Wall, and spent the next nine months making an undisputed case for “Best Rapper Alive” status circa 2009 until going back to jail (four or five times), and eventually getting an ice cream cone tattooed on his face, which may or may not have affected his overall rapping ability? It’s an embarrassing tragedy how this site has only used one song from The Writing on the Wall, and that entire tour de force of a 2009 as the soundtrack for a video clip. But yeah, Memorial Day weekend / “Start of Summer” clip up tomorrow morning, like Gucci Mane’s new mixtape. It won’t be as good as the one from 2009 (embedded below), also like Gucci Mane’s new mixtape.

Gucci Mane in 2009 > 2Pac + Mariano in Mouse + Frank Sinatra + Fabo of D4L.

Same Old Video Part, But It’s On That New Shit

“WE ON THE WAY.”

It’s great to have south Jersey/Philly-based skaters going pro for major companies these days. It was also great to have Philly rappers (or at least one) resurface to national prominence last year. Considering skateboarding and rap are the two dominant concerns of this website, it should come as no surprise that the first re-edit of 2012 merges Real’s latest pro teamrider, Ishod Wair, with the Maybach Music Group’s latest pro teamrider, Meek Mill. Meek Mill saved the late-summer/early-fall of 2011, by drowning out the sound of people playing that lame collaborative album by those two boring rich guys with his repeated proclamations of being a boss. For that, we salute him and Ishod (another boss) with this remix.

Sometime in the near future, we’ll devise a non-rap re-edit for a change of pace. They just have to come back full swing by the summer though. Dreamchasers 2 should be out by then. We’re still going to be stretching 4:3 and mixing HD with SD, don’t worry…
