…and this is the call I get? My son is a bootlegger?”

Not really sure how much bootlegging I’m about to be involved in, granted that this video is free in the first place, but let’s just say I’m saving you the trouble of having to leave your house and going down to a shop to pick it up yourself.

This is the New 411 Up For Grabs DVD with the New York City section. Everybody who had seen it before me told me that it sucks. It’s nothing amazing, and certainly isn’t like like the last NYC section they had, but its worth a couple watches either way. The problems in it are mostly in the fact that 75% of the people in it are kids who came here from Cali over the summer, but I guess that’s pretty much more at fault of everyone here not submitting more footage (or saving it for some video thats going to wind up free on the internet anyway). A lot of it is recycled (the last trick is about three years old), and there’s a lot of B-Footage scattered about as well.

Luis, Rodney, Falla, Billy, Steve (for wallriding a chain-link fence…) and Nolan all hold it down though, and Brandon Westgate has a pretty sick line on Water Street. AND THANK YOU, for having the whole montage not be a mixture of the Staten Island ledges (which aren’t in it at all!), Flushing, and Chinatown Manual Pad (also not in the entire thing!). They switched it up on the spots, which is definitely a good thing.

Frankly, they should’ve used this song for it (sooooo New York, right?) instead of some dude nobody’s ever heard of, but we can’t all get what we want. 411 needs some thug motivation

And as for the rest of the video, all I have to say is Nate Sherwood’s intro is bar-none, at the top of the (already really long, pause) list of annoying intros.

Filmed by: Bryan Chin, Steve Marino, Ewan Bowman, Tom Colabaro, Seamus Deegan, Chris Mulhern, Dan Santiago, RB Umali, Justin “Tookie” White

If you want a DVD copy, your local shop should probably have it.
