“The Gonz!! What a legend..
Here’s a piece of hip-hop related Gonz trivia for the nerds out there: He’s the dude who paints the figures on the glass which Fatlip smashes at the end (beginning) of the Pharcyde Drop video, directed by Spike Jones
And speaking of skateboarding and Spike Jones, people need to check out the Girl skateboards video, Mouse, from the mid-nineties. Its directed by Spike and the soundtrack is on some intensely bad-ass 70s classic funk shit.
Tracklist:
Three Is the Magic Number
Eric Burdon & War – Magic Mountain
James Brown – Doing It to Death
Booker T. & the MG’s – Time Is Night
Joe Cuba – El Pito
Cymande – Brothers on the Slide
Curtis Mayfield – (Don’t worry) If there’s a hell below we’re all going to go
Earth, Wind & Fire – Shining Star
Bob James – Nautilus
Royal Flush – World Wide
Gwen McCrae – 90% of Me Is You
War – Slipping Into Darkness
Joe Bataan – Aftershower Funk
Herbie Hancock – Watermelon Man
One of my most influential childhood memories is playing this video repeatedly just to hear the soundtrack, before I had turntables or facial hair.. absolute classic.”
I’m posting the video here because its soo fresh.
didn’t have facial hair till he saw mine and jumped on my giant throbbing bandwagon
True classic, even studied it at school in the music video analysis session.
Ha! Dont see your comments being upgraded to posts, Fadester.. TADAOW!!! my life’s ambition is now complete..
Funny coincidence – a friend stopped by a few hours ago and urgently recommended a peculiar skateboard video. So we watched “Yeah Right” of the Girl series .. has a dope soundtrack too with Royal Flush, Scarface, J5, Reflection Eternal etc.
