“I wish I was made out of neon….then I’d rename myself Leon. So, I’d be like ‘hey, what’s up, I’m Neon Leon?’.”

I was assaulted today. Verbally shit-stomped while minding my own business driving down the street. A 40-something fireman and his son pulled up next to me and proceeded to launch an all out attack against me for the bumper sticker I have on my rear window. The sticker says “9/11 was an inside job!”.
Plain and simple. But this guys argument was that I was an asshole for parading that sticker through the streets of New York. That it’s an insult to those that died in the attack. His words were far less eloquent, I think the most intelligent phrase shouted was “Say one word and I’ll come over there and fucking bash your goddamned face in!”. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience, but it got me thinking…IS it too ballsy to tote that sticker around NY? Is it an insult to the thousands that died that day? Or is it a painful necessity to press the issue and demand answers to these incredibly important questions?

..now you do. To all the haters, the whiney no-taste douchebags that hated on Man Man, feast your eyes on this shittily recorded poached footy from a secret show they did in Chinatown the other night.
Our operatives were hard at work, deep in the thick of it to bring documented evidence of their live superiority to your retinas. If you had been there you’d be sold. Sorry, it’s probably a long download but it’s worth it.

What happened to hip-hop?….actually, what happened to everything?
I used to record this video off BET onto VHS tapes when I was a weef.
So ill.

So what ARE the rules?…the truth is that most of you don’t even realize that rules even exist. That’s bad enough. But there are also plenty of you that’re fully aware of them but break them on a constant basis. This is the definition of a dog. Every city I’ve lived in has a dog-pound….unleashed beasts that prey on the spots of the creative or hard working. I remember when Ricky Oyola built a spot under I-95 in Philly. A little quick-dry cement and a lot of labor and he created a little bump over a pole. He proceeded to film on it and shoot a photo with the local photographer. But the second he turned his back the dogs pounced like wild hyenas. Next thing he knows, every skater in Philly has a photo in the newest mags on his spot before he’s even gotten his own photo run. Another innocent dog-attack victim.
So what are the rules anyways? Who makes them? Who determines the boundaries and guidelines? It’s all up in the air and tends to bend and sway depending on who you talk to.
I think it’s time a rule book was drafted…..listing well-definied rules, and appropriate punishments for the deviants who break them.
