Sunday Service: Colin Kennedy – Blueprint “WFTW” (2000)

Ryan — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 07:00:51 +0000

You lack the minerals and vitamins, irons and the niacin
F*ck who that I offend, rappers sit back I’m ’bout to begin
’bout foul talk you sqwak, never even walked the walk
More less destined to get tested, never been arrested
My album will manifest many things that I saw did or heard about
or told first hand, never word of mouth
What’s in the future for the fusion in the changer?
Rappers are in danger who will use wits to be a remainder
When the missile is aimed, to blow you out of the frame
Some will keep their limbs and, some will be maimed
The same suckers with the gab about, killer instincts
but turned b*tch and knowin’ damn well they lack
In this division the connoisseur, crackin’ your head with a 4 by 4
Realize sucka, I be the comin’ like Noah
Always sendin’ you down, perpetratin’ facadin’ what you consider
a image, to me this is, just a scrimmage
I’m feel I’m stone, not cause I bop or wear my cap cocked
The more emotion I put into it, the harder I rock
Those who pose lyrical but really ain’t true I feel…

…”Their time’s limited, hard rocks too”

Sunday Service: Blueprint Skateboards – “The Belong Tour” (2002)

Ryan — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 09:00:54 +0000

As the Forum/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook lurkers out there will already be aware, Dan Magee officially parted ways with Blueprint Skateboards last week following a fifteen year stint at the creative helm of the company…

“A few years ago, I decide to invest a skate business, that I felt would secure my future working in skateboarding and help push Blueprint & its riders forward. Ironically, certain events meant this investment had the opposite effect of my original intentions. As a result, I was not able to work on Blueprint with the same passion I used to have. Although this transition has been ongoing over the past two years, recent events have helped me to decide that it’s time to officially move on from my 15 years as Creative Director at Blueprint and concentrate on ‘the day job’. Thanks and respect to all those who have been involved with Blueprint along the way and all those that had my back when I needed it. Thanks to Paul Shier who continues to run the brand, as he has during my last couple of years on ‘hiatus’. I still hope to film, work in and be involved with skateboarding on a freelance and personal level for years to come. Audi 5000. Dan Magee”

For footage, tales, nonsense and more, head on over to the “Dan Magee Appreciation Thread” on the Sidewalk Forum.

Anyway, to keep this weeks Sunday Service tied in with the current Magee theme, we decided to bring you the full Blueprint Skateboards “Belong Tour” video, featuring the likes of Mark Baines, Neil Smith, Vaughan Baker, Colin Kennedy, Paul Shier, Nick Jensen, Danny Brady and the rest as they made their way around the UK back in 2002. Abridged versions of the video have been floating around online for a while now, but click the play button below to witness the full thing.
