Morte do Caranguejo?

Nah...we just goin on hiatus for a few weeks. Here are some flowers to get you through!

Get Weird Tonight!

77Klash is ripping it up for the fancy people at the New Museum tonight. Come thru!

Eat to Live

My good homey Darryl Phillips from the ICU did Talib Kweli's latest video "Eat to Live." The song, about the lack of healthy food options and subsequent bad eating habits in the hood is a rare positive gem of a track that addresses an actual problem that incomprehensibly gets almost no attention from the media or our society at large. I guess Bloomberg is too busy putting up 15 million dollar fake waterfalls to work on getting some veggies into the projects. I'm not hating on those waterfalls but damn.

Philadelphia Free!

Freeway made a surprising appearance at BLVD the other night. Not a surprise appearance mind you, but a surprising one cause the club is wack. Free, however, came with his grizzly in full force and tore it down for a good half hour before bouncing around with his homie and picking up all the chicks in the spot, which was mad easy cause all the dudes in there were wack - ha I hate that spot!

77Klash in the New Fader

I always said it was just a matter of time. 77Klash is the truth and the truth can only be submerged for so long. Witness the new Fader, bible of nextness, and who's in there mashing? 77KLASH! That's who.

Jayceeoh x Akrobatik x BRASIL!!!!

My homie DJ Jayceeoh just got back from an ill two week tour of Brasil with Beantown's favorite MC, Akrobatik. They ripped it up from SP to Curitiba as the video below clearly shows. Expect Jay back very soon. And this time we goin to Rio - Babao I see you!

No Camera = Fuckin Sucks

So yeah, please remind that I was on a roll, killin it every day, and now I haven't posted shit for a week. Ahh the life of the half steppin blogger. But I aint goin out like that. I did smash my camera and that fuckin sucks but a new one is on the way. And I am going through some shit right now and that fuckin sucks worse but that too shall pass, right? As Blog is my witness, I am back aight?!?! Entre agora na vida do Caranguejo do Norte!!!

What else you gonna do in SoCal?

Other than whip a Mustang converti.

Crystal Castles SD

Crystal Castles murdered San Diego this weekend.
Just peep the pics - these Canadian freaks are killing it!!! The crowd wasn't moshing, they were straight blobbing, as in one drugged out gelatinous mass that was overflowing onto the stage to the extent that every single injury I had from the skate race was being penetrated by some emo punk goth's elbow. I can't say I'm fucking with them one hundred percent, but this show was off the sneezy. Big up Tedo for the cam!

All My Nillaz!!!!!

The illest underrated underachieving crunk rock lunatics of all time are invading Williamsburg tonight! If you don't know, Nilla you better aks somebody! All my Nillazzz!

San Diebro Here I Come

I'm bouncing to Dego today to go peep the Olympic Qualifiers for BMX Race. My homey Mike Day is about to take this! It will be on TV Sunday, June 15, noon–1:30 pm/ET, on MSNBC. Tedo, I hope you got some shit planned!

77Klash on Pitchfork

77Klash's new EP "Code for the Streets" is out and catching fire! The Rudebwoy mashup sound has gotten love from the Fader and just got the ill co sign from Pitchfork. Check it out here.

New LTD Website!

My good homie Hawaii Mike has been running LTD Magazine for the last couple of years now. Created with the concept in mind that a magazine should be as exclusive as the shit inside of it, LTD prints a scant number of copies and unless you know him personally or really have some shit going on, you' arent getting a copy. Thankfully, he's finally launched a website to give people a taste of what they are missing. Check it out here.

Bringing a Knife to a Gun Fight

On Saturday, the 10th annual Central Park skateboard race went down. Sponsored by the NY Longboard Association the event is a fucking trip and brings out an entire subculture that you would never know existed in NY. People even came in from other states and overseas for this shit! After congregating randomly by Columbus Circle, under the watchful eye of mad jakes no less, about 200 of us bombed the park's entire 6.2 mile circuit. Of course, we were repping Shut to the fullest but were also the only crew that decided to rock short decks instead of wile cruisers - kinda like bringing a knife to a gunfight. We mighta looked cooler, but we got our asses whipped on time. The fact that I bailed shirtless at about 40mph didn't help my finish either, although I got right back on that bitch and still made it in about 38 minutes. But considering the winner, and new record breaker, clocked in at 22 minutes, my time wasn't shit. Funniest moment was when, after I ate shit, some old bag about 4'11'' and 90 years old started yelling at me like "you're stupid, you're stupid!" and then to no one in particular, "look at this guy, he's bleeding all over, he's so crazy, he's so stupid!" If I wasn't so bummed that I smashed my ill Samsung NV11 I woulda tossed this lady in a ditch. So if any one wants to bless the Caranguejo with a new cam (same model preferably) that would be dope.

Peep the action below! Additional pics by Michael (after my shit broke - thanks yo!)


Lots of dudes on longboards = looks like we came to the right place.

Don't forget to sign in (its not like it was sanctioned though)

Shut

Shut Skates

Mad longboards son



Biggest dude with the biggest board. Repping BK naturally.

Last year's Champ Casper

Ian Nichols who ran the whole shit

O Brasil parece no todo lugar ne?



These kids were the shit (although at this age you should be riding a real skate not an old fogie cruiser)

But they weren't as rad as this bum drinking Henney minis and yelling "Freestyle!" for no reason.

Look at this fucking guy - Cobra Kai right???

And they're off!

The winners

The loser

My fucking cam!!!

John - the ill skating EMT. Big Up Strong Island!

Who woulda thought? Both my homies Seth and John were EMT's Thanks yos!!
