The year was 1993. I remember it like yesterday, seeing Buk skating down 85 South in the Yall So Stupid video. Peep the video, for actual-factual evidence. My man even did a kick flip, and alladat. I wasnt the only one who saw it. It was in heavy rotation on BET, MTV, Video Music Box, etc.. Here’s my question: How can one talk skateboarding, and hip-hop? And, leave this man out of the equation? This gentleman was the first one to mash the cultures together, in a huge arena. Make no mistake about it- Uncle Buk, IS the culture.
In this weeks episode, I get Buk on the line. And, we talk everything from the the from the high cost of skateboarding in the ‘80s. The parallels between the skateboarding, and the music industry. The importance of building your own lane. Also, our love for Creature Skateboards.
All for the culture, of course.
Thank you to my man Uncle Buk for this one. One of the most solid cats out here, and a straight-A student of the game. Always a pleasure catching up with you, my brother. You know how we do about this time. Its the mighty, mighty WCRP. Lets GOOOOOOO!!!- Clyde Singleton
