G-Love reps the Warriors


Get Warriors gear here.


Get Warriors gear here.

My man G. Love (From G.Love and Special Sauce fame) sent over images from his current tour.  He is repping an Ecko Unltd. "Warriors" T-shirt. Big up! He is a wildly talented performer and hails proudly from Philadelphia-- which I don't hold against him.  He uses his harmonica  to seduce beautiful women. It works--- I have seen it in action...

The Warriors is a cult classic  action film from 1979, directed by Walter Hill.   It is based on a multi-culti street Gang that comes from Coney Island, NY.  It is campy as all hell-- but wildly influential on the PUNK scene and NYC street culture. A modern-day remake of the film is set to be directed by Tony Scott, with a tentative release date of 2010. The remake will include more realistic gang members and try to create a modern version of the story, set in LA.  I gotta' learn how to play a harmonica...or any instrument....

The Birth of "IRON" Mike Tyson.

I love watching old Tyson fight footage. Mike Tyson was 20 years old, when he knocked out Trevor Berbick (32 years old) in this fight in just under 5 and a half minutes.  Mike became the poster boy of late 80's hip-hop after this. He represented "the real".  Even though he would claim he was from "Catskills NY", hip-hop reminded us that he was from Brownsville, Brooklyn.

This was broadcast on CBS originally.  The original cast did all the voiceover.
