Laugh Therapy with MIKE and The Victory Light Podcast
The Victory Light podcast continues its tear as they bring up MIKE for today’s episode and I died laughing. With hosts like Rainey and Mero you’re always going to have a couple of laughs but when MIKE felt the vibe it was like they just bro’d out and laughed at everything from MIKE’s first time in Japan, to MIKE touring in the UK. Laughter was today’s therapy for sure. Love the pod for bringing MIKE on. MIKE is a real one.

Black at the Super Bowl Halftime Show
The problem that some of America is having with Kendrick Lamar’s performance is a problem that America has created itself through intentional ignorance. Not everyone is in the know when it comes to Kendrick Lamar, which is part of the indent of an artist being televised. Artists are given these moments to share their contribution to music to a wider audience. The Audience is then, if curious suppose, to look up the artist and browse their catalog. Playing their top songs or listening to an album. Some of America’s audience didn’t not want to do the footwork, which is fine, personally I didn’t look into Maroon 5’s or Shakira discography after their performances. Not that I didn’t enjoy the performance, I just wasn’t compelled to at the time. But in an age of technology where a google search is in your pocket and this halftime show has been advertised for months, you can’t complain about the performance after the fact.
What some Americans don’t like is that they were not included. They wanted “They Not Like Us, but they didn’t want Kendrick. They don’t understand what was happening and they don’t see themselves on that field. And what does America do when they don’t understand something? They hate it. And instead of doing a little research, and trying to understand who Kendrick Lamar is and what songs he’s performing, they see it as an affront to what they believe should’ve taken place for the Super Bowl Halftime Show performance. They pick apart the thing they now have decided to hate because it should have been easy for them (the audience) to feel a part of.
At the end of the day, the Halftime Show, is a 15 minute performance to debut an artist on one of the worlds biggest stages. It is their 15 seconds of fame to show the world what they got. Like it or love.
Kendrick Lamar has always been this kind of artist. Anytime he performs in front of white America, there’s always people that find offense even though they are both from the same America. Instead of asking the right question with the intention to understand, they make their assumptions and run with it. The same thing happened with Malcolm X, Colin Kaepernick and any other African American that does something that doesn’t fit within white America’s idea of Blackness.

Mad Max
Fuck man, every time i’m about to fall asleep I find a piece of internet gold that keeps me up for another few hours. I’ve been typing Max Schaaf’s name into a bunch of search boxes and abusing the infinite scroll. I found a couple of clips!
1. DicE Magazine did a little short on Max.
2. Vans x. 4Q(Max Schaaf) collab on a Sk8 mid. This is their commercial for it. Showing off his shop and the personal touches he did for the collab. I’m definitely going to add this song to my library.
3. Max Schaaf’s Non Fiction Part. In the Lone Skater article I wrote, Max talk about living in Oakland (in the video) and having a bunch of the neighborhood kids come by and just hang out with him at his mom’s place. You get to see some rad clips in this parts of some of the kids doing some fakie ollie on Max’s ramp. They probably had no idea who Max was in the skate world to them, to them he was just the crazy guy with a skatepark in his house across the street.
4. BIG HONGRY! I’ve been seeing Big Hongry on Thrasher and on Instagram, interviewing skaters and making music. Bro can really rap! From what I can piece together he owns and runs a shop in California somewhere. He seems to be plugged into the scene out there. Which is awesome because I haven’t seen many dude like him on the more rugged side of skating in the mix with big profile name. Shoutout to Big Hongry! But tonight I found his sit down with Max Schaaf on his podcast, Break Free. Him and Max talk about growing up with Jake, Phil Sato and bunch other names that do really get the commercial recognition but are legend in their own right. You had to be there to see it but if you didn’t see it people like Max mentioning their names pushes their legacy further into the spot light to get their just due. Max even gives an update on the kids from the last video in a full circle moment.
