Black Moon’s Enta Da Stage turned 25 last month. The trio put on a special performance on October 18 at New York’s SOB’s in honor of the occasion, and reminisced about the good old days in an interview with DJ Booth. On top of all of that, WhoSampled teamed up with Wax Poetics on this 25th anniversary mixtape produced by Chris Read that seamlessly blends album tracks and remixes with their sample sources, interview snippets, and more. If you’re a fan of the golden era of hip hop, or simply just want some good tunes to get your Saturday evening started right, this is highly-recommended listening. And for more classic tracks, head over to Wax Poetics and peep De La Soul’s Buhloone Mindstate 25th anniversary mixtape.

Watch Riley Hawk grind in the “Nepotism” video which is now playing on Thrasher Magazine’s YouTube channel.

The son of the legendary Tony Hawk, Riley is more of a street skater while his father is known for his vert style. This goofy-footed pro skater doubles as the frontman of Warish, a horror punk band.

Talk about taking versatility to a new level.

“I taught him none of these tricks for the record”, says his father, Tony Hawk on his Instagram post.

The Tony Hawk Weekend Jam 2022 – which will be held May 12-15 in Las Vegas – is set to be an epic experience. Headliners include Modest Mouse, Devo, Descendants, and of course the Birdman himself, plus plenty of events to watch and participate in. But that’s not the half of it.

This event is described as “a three-day Las Vegas takeover, curated by Tony Hawk himself. Featuring skate competitions, the bands that defined skate culture, and the video games that made it all mainstream.”

There’s that, plus a Vert Alert exhibition, contests, shopping, food, a gaming lounge, movies, a street park setup, and a whole lot more at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. The package includes all that plus accommodation for the weekend and you can snag your tix right here.

No idea how the GOAT found time in his schedule to host a festival, do a documentary, run a charity, make NFTs, sell merch, appear in a music video, mangle his hands in an empty pool, and get continually confused for a celebrity lookalike while going about his daily business. It’s a lot.

The skater lineup so far is as follows:
