A recap of The 2013 @Gumball3000 rally totaling over an hour.

Gumball 3000 is attended by the likes of anyone from Daryl Hannah, Kate Moss, Adrian Brody and Billy Zane, to Dennis Rodman, Jason Priestly, Tony Hawk, Estevan Oriol, Bun B, Idris Elba, Tim Westwood, Eve etc.  Sprinkle in some Arab oil tycoons and princes, and you have yourself a one-of-a-kind real life Canonball Run, with WAY MORE MONEY. The actress/rapper Eve is actually engaged to Maxamillion Cooper, who founded The Gumball. Got enough dough plop down in a remote location and take it for a several-week spin? You too can be a part of the Gumball 3000. Well, you can at least watch the video here I guess.

The Last Zulu @QTipTheAbscract sits down with @chairmanmaonyc to discuss some of his classic material.

Highlights include tales of Q-Tip producing records for Kanye, Mobb Deep and Nas, as well as mentions of Ken “Duro” Ifill, Bob Power,  The Jungle Brothers, Red Alert etc. He also plays a ridiculous unreleased Kanye track he worked on that samples Billy Joel’s “Movin’ Out”. Oh yeah, and the first time Tip met Dilla was through Amp Fiddler, who was playing keyboards for P-Funk at the time. 

Also, in a moment of honesty Tip responds to a question about clubs and sound systems that most influenced him, and he talks about how people just don’t really get sweaty and down enough these days in the dance. Cue Latin Quarters and Union Square stories, as well as a discussion about the club as a spiritual place, and one of congregation.

Minoriteam was a cartoon (Adult Swim, 2005) with no parallel. A super-hero team, made up of people of different backgrounds each using their stereotypes as their powers.
My friend George Lowrey and Reas (Todd James) did a bangup job on the animation/art for this short-lived series, along with a team of others. All the cells were done one-by-one, a painstaking process that took months. It was all created in the style of the late great Jack Kirby, who came up with many of the Marvel super-heroes that people think Stan Lee created.
Oh, and Michael Clarke Duncan did a voice.

This guy @glenefriedman drops so much reality on @Combat_Jack right here. Not for the faint of heart and NSFW.

Glen Friedman was a pioneering photographer and documentarian of the Dogtown era of the skate world in California. He was also a full-fledged member of and contributor to the same world. Later on, he came into his roll as the west coast representative for Def Jam Records. Glen came up photographing punk bands, The Beastie Boys and numerous other sub-culture crazies like himself. He’s also a vegan of twenty two years, and a very hard person to argue with about anything, as is evidenced by this interview.

My favorite part is definitely when Glen talks about how he brought slam-dancing back to LA from New York. Oh, and he managed Suicidal Tendencies. No big whoop.
