1997 all over again…

Here’s a good shot of Eric, Rick and Mike with Kanye while Spike Jonze was filming his new video recently somewhere in LaLa Land. I remember the guys were cast in the ‘Benjamins’ video when Spike was working with egomaniac Puff Daddy Combs. I was getting daily updates (on my landline – it was 1997) about how crazy the shit was. The shoot was one big party and pretty much all the Girl Skateboards dudes had little cameos. 12 years later: same deal, different egomaniac. Pretty rad shot, thanks Tone. I hear the video’s gonna be dope which is cool because Kanye’s new album sure isn’t. And I’m not hatin’ – I dig Kanye – but everyone blows it once in a while.

Girls dudes. Only time in suits since Tony's wedding
