New Short Documentary reveals Eazy E As Hip Hop's Very First Skateboarding Rapper...believe it

Festival de Filmes de Surf e Skate MIMPI - (RJ, Brasil) 19 de Maio 2019:

Eazy E & Venice Locals - A Historic Day in the Brotherhood of Hip Hop and Skateboarding is a simple but powerful short documentary that once and for all reveals Eazy E as not only an advocate of the skateboarding lifestyle, but a skateboarder himself.

The wordless ten-minute short, was shown publicly for the first time last week at the MIMPI Festival de Filmes de Surf e Skate, in Rio de Janeiro to an ecstatic crowd of people who were both hip hop heads and skateboarders. An unlikely cocktail of cultures, that may have delayed in arrived without Eazy E endorsing the sport in the late 1980's.

Eazy E foi o primeiro skatista de famoso da música  rap ?, é a pergunta Eazy E & Locals de Venice - Um Dia Histórico na Irmandade de Hip Hop e Skateboarding (2019) graciosamente mas sem remorso responde. Embora bem ritmado com lindas fotografias de arquivo e trilha sonora animada de beatbox, a coisa mais importante a ser dita sobre esse documentário experimental, sem diálogos, é que podemos claramente rejeitar quaisquer rumores das famigeradas fotografias de skate Eazy E de 1989 por Ithaka. Darin Pappas como sendo um hoax. 

Durante o percurso de nove minutos e meio, exibido na semana passada no Festival MIMPI, na navegação visual uma folha de prova das imagens em questão, podemos ver claramente Eazy E rodeado por proeminentes moradores da região. Era andar um par de skates diferentes ao redor do agora extinto Pavillon de Veneza.

"Who's The Enemy?" by Ithaka & Gabriel O Pensador (15th Anniversary Remastered Edition)

Friends since 1993, the Ithaka Darin Pappas and Gabriel O Pensador first crossed paths in Lisbon, Portugal on a photoshoot for Super Som magazine (Editora Abril) at the time of Gabriel's first tor of Europe coinciding with his #1 Brazilian hit, Tô Feliz (Matei o Presidente). Ithaka ( a former photographer of N.W.A, in Los Angeles) made pictures of nineteen year old Gabriel in a wheel chair, he had broken his leg a few days before playing soccer. The unusual images of the young rap star in a full leg cast ended up that edition of the magazine's foldout poster.

Both surfers, The two became friends. Ithaka also began making music - and It was years later after he had visited Gabriel o Pensador and his family in Brazil, that Gabriel suggested to him the idea of recording an album there in Rio de Janeiro A couple of years later, after an introduction to a local producer was made, a new fifteen-track record finally began to materialize including their hip hop peace duet, Who's The Enemy?
