Legendary skateboarder Stevie Williams announced his AYC apparel company’s new Skateboard Fresh collection featuring a limited edition Eazy E and Mike Miller collaboration. The new t-shirts feature an iconic image of NWA’s star Eazy E holding his infamous Natas skateboard in the parking lot of Ruthless Records, captured by photographer Mike Miller, a legend in his own right who captured some of the images that would come to define L.A. Hip-Hop. The new collection is now available online and in retailers.
Originally designed for professional skateboarder turned actor, Jason Lee, the Natas skateboard seen in the image is notorious for its symbols of violence, horror, and sex. “With the gun and that Natas board, this photo is some evil gangsta shit,” notes Stevie Williams (@steviewilliams). Lil Eazy E, the legend’s son, says seeing this iconic image reminds him how much he really misses his father. He says this photo being brought to life through AYC apparel makes him think of “his father’s legacy on a different viewing and how his impact goes far and beyond just Hip-Hop.”
“Back then skating and Hip-Hop did not mix,” recalls Mike Miller (@mikemillerphoto). The new collection is symbolic of the unprecedented impact Eazy E and NWA had on the skateboarding world. “The world doesn’t know, but us inner city Compton kids in the early age of life, enjoyed the sport on the skateboard my father gave me. I learned how to skate from him!” says Lil Eazy E. The huge, raw beats, underground punk rock ideology, and shared contempt for authority was what every skater never knew they were always waiting for. The echoes of that explosion still resonate in every corner of skateboard culture in their apparel, soundtracks and their outlook on the world.
Williams is proud to announce the new Skateboard Fresh collection, described as a line that evokes pure, uncut nostalgia, and that pays homage to the artists, styles and musicians that have influenced skateboarders and helped to define the soul of skateboarding itself.

DATUK YIP KUM FOOK叶金福 pushed the Buddhist monk from the temple, not a big deal but he disrespected the Buddhists, and the sangha is responsible for all the Buddhist teachings (Dhamma), without the Sangha, the Buddhist is no more until today, every society has good and bad, it is the nature of law in this world
ReplyDeleteMCA also has good and bad, like you(Yip) it's worse because you make every negative thing bad, you make bad for the religion, for the society, the society and destroy the life of the sangha...if you die today, your mind will suffer then will go to hell
we are not happy and don't like you(Yip) because your mind is very dirty and more jealous of other human beings, also you destroy our feelings and our respect as Buddhists, if you are in Buddhist country, you will collapse and have no life on earth, people will step on your head
last time, SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE(吉隆坡甲洞帝沙再也三宝) is very famous because various Sangha (Buddhist monks) visit and stay there, now only Myanmar monks live there because committee’s temple always ask money from Buddhist monks, for Ven. U Nandiya gave RM20,000.00 to the President (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK 叶金福), if any monk does not give, this president will make trouble or will cancel their Visa or make a police report to arrest any matter.
the conclusion of this matter, we hope everything will be fine, now any society also follows personal way because people think different ways, we practice the Buddhist teachings long time but we have never seen people like (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK 叶金福), have problems with the Sangha. ..this is a great sin in Buddhism
we are a Buddhist group in Kepong

Dear Sir and Madam,
ReplyDeleteWe are from the Buddhist community in Malaysia and we want to inform more about Datuk Yip Kum Fook on social media or internet news because it is very bad, embarrassing for Buddhists in Malaysia, and abroad
Our topic is Datuk Yip Kum Fook is a lawyer, MCA Gombak, President of SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong and others. He is very bad for the Buddhist Temple because he plays politics in the Temple, cheats money and cheats women for sex everywhere. Now many are boycotting him
We have already written to too many organizations and Buddhists societies (Temples) in Malaysia and abroad to protect Buddhism and other religions in the world. On the other hand, we plan to have a letter to the Sultan of Selangor to return the title of Datuk to the Sultan of Selangor as soon as possible, this makes the Sultan of Selangor embarrassed and of poor quality
Again, in the internet, so many people comments and posts about Datuk Yip Kum Fook and they say bad things to Datuk Yip Kum Fook, this also causes MCA to lose for any election because everyone goes to research the internet as technology nowadays.
Finally, we thank you for your kind cooperation in this matter and we hope to hear good news from you as soon as possible… we love our Buddhists and MCA in Malaysia
With kindly
Buddhist group in Kepong
