Renunited and it feels so good, the skateboarders who have seen the old school transworld vids, alien workshop vids, and girl/chocolate vids know exactly what im talking about.



Here's an Interview to match:

I was just wondering how the whole DGK thing came about.

Me and Stevie were just talking one day and were saying, "Man, we gotta team back up on somethin'," you know? We were talking about how just stale skateboarding was and how people just don't really hang out with each other anymore. They just kind of skate for companies, whether it be because it's just a cool company or it's a solid paycheck. Whatever, you know? We were just talking about how skateboarding just lost its vibe of friendship and lifestyle, you know? DGK's vibe was always just that—like, this is our life and we roll together and this is what we do—skateboarding is bringing us together. Stevie and I hadn't rode for the same thing forever and we were just like, "Man, we gotta do something like that," and it escalated into, "Why don't we just roll on the same squad? The DGK squad?" because that's what we are...we're old Love Park cats, you know?

How long have you guys know eachother?

We've known one another since the early '90s.



Since he was Lil' Stevie, right?

Yeah, he was lil' Lil' Stevie.



So, how did everything end up with Alien, then?

It wasn't hard. Nobody made it more difficult than what it needed to be. I just told them that this is what I wanted to do—this is what I'm going to do—and it was almost as if they knew it was coming at some point, you know?



Were there things you were unhappy with at Alien? Or did you just want to get back to that homey connection of being back with your friends?

I wanted to skate for fun and with a friend...go back to the homie connection, you know? Me and Alien just grew apart. You know, I felt like I was Alien Workshop, through and through, for 15 years—that's what I was. Alien Workshop was Sovereign Sect and it just grew into something that I wasn't growing with. Me and Workshop had a long run, but we just grew apart from one another.

Chris Brown, smh haha.

Glad to see our president just being honest.

Im sure everyone had thier misconceptions about the amount of jerkin songs these two would create, but apparently they're not idiots, im sure this song will get just as much radio play as you're a jerk, lets see what happens.

Sepetember 25 iphone 3G and 3GS users will be able to send and recieve MMS, its about damn time.

I understand where she's coming from, i don't agree with her at all, but i won't knock her opinion, its times like this where you shoulda just kept your mouth shut.

Glad to see homies puttin in work.

Quincy Jones did an interview with Men Style magazine and he dug deep into Michael. I honestly can't tell if he's just being honest as a friend should be, if there's some ill-intent. You judge for yourself. And this is just a preview!

On the Strange Evolution of Michael’s appearance

Oh, we talked about it all the time. But he’d come up with, “Man, I promise you I have this disease,” and so forth, and “I have a blister on my lungs,” and all that kind of b.s. It’s hard, because Michael’s a Virgo, man—he’s very set in his ways. You can’t talk him out of it. Chemical peels and all that stuff.

I don’t believe in any of that bullsh*t, No. Never. I’ve been around junkies and stuff all my life. I’ve heard every excuse. It’s like smokers—”I only smoke when I drink” and all that stuff. But it’s bullshit. You’re justifying something that’s destructive to your existence. It’s crazy. I mean, I came up with Ray Charles, man. You know, nobody gonna pull no wool over my eyes. He did heroin 20 years! Come on. And black coffee and gin for 40 years. But when he called me to come over to see him when he was in the hospital on his way out, man, he had emphysema, hepatitis C, cirrhosis of the liver, and five malignant tumors. Please, man! I’ve been around this all my life. So it’s hard for somebody to pull the wool over my eyes. But when somebody’s hell-bent on it, you can’t stop ‘em. It’s ridiculous, man! Chemical peels and all of it. And I don’t understand it. But he obviously didn’t want to be black… What do you think? You see his kids?


On Whether he Thinks Michael Had Some Deep Seated Issue On How He looked

Well, that comes about a certain way. I’m not sure how it happens. I’m just a musician and a record producer. I’m not a psychiatrist. I don’t understand all that stuff. We all got problems. But there’s a great book out called Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart. Did you see that? That book says the statute of limitations has expired on all childhood traumas. Get your stuff together and get on with your life, man. Stop whinin’ about what’s wrong, because everybody’s had a rough time, in one way or another.

On Whether He Will Attend Michael’s Funeral

No, not at all, not at all. Because it’s going to be, like, 9 million people there, and it’s not what I want to see. I can’t be there, anyway. I’m going to Wales the day after tomorrow, I go to Montreux, I go to Marbella, I go to the south of France. My condolences and love I’ve already sent to the family. But being there with 10 million people is not my idea of a tribute to somebody you were so close to—who’s got a part of your soul. Our souls were joined, you know. And a piece of it goes with him.

Glad he kept 100.

Be back soon.

I wish it were that easy.
