just because a rider feels that way doesn't make it 'official'.
are palace and bronze rip offs of each other? do we really want to get into this?
it's durante and brian brown. c'mon give the company 5 minutes.

some people feel that slave is a rip-off of anti-hero. i think there's a similar amount of wiggle room in this comparison.

I don't understand who sent that to Palace. Seems like a last ditch effort to get on Palace... Politic is sick.

Yeah really.  How they didn't see any Palace resemblance before the intro video came out makes whoever the person seem like an unaware jack ass.  Just give the company a little bit to find their own groove and then judge it.  I mean look at Palace, if you compare the first video they put out to all the more recent stuff it's a completely different vibe (excluding the vhs).

"We like switch backside Quentin Durantino and B Brown alot and Politics too, I would pay to see them niggaz skate. but we just ain't trying to hear mans say we bite any other skate company except Menace"

[HATE!]

Oh look, they don't care and support them. More people should follow suit.

Oh no, I just saw that Politic's Wheel Head dude has a passing resemblance to  the Monopoly man, the Pringles man AND motherfucking Snidely Whiplash! WTF?!

And this guy too.
I'm getting the impression that Politic appropriates from many sources, Palace is just the best one.

Gold.

If Palace really didn't care then they wouldn't have posted the anonymous email. 

Brian Brown's first trick and the cab manual.  Hope it works out cuz I liked watching.   

[HATE!]

Skateboard pilfers and borrows from everywhere, sometimes each other. It's actually part of what makes it great.

[trannies and mannies]

They're both awesome companies. Get over it.

I think they posted it because they want others to stop caring.

[life support]

It's so unbelievably lame to copy a company like that.
BUT I dont have anything to do with Palace so why would I be mad at the end of the day.

[Nosferatu]

They are both copying alot of things. That's how new things are produced actually. By taking many things that already exist and changing them.

It got taken down.  Basically, an anonymous Politic rider sent them a message saying how it is a blatant Palace rip off and that he's not down with it.  That he just 'sent footage in and trusted people'.

[The Ghost of Lenny Kirk]

Well its not like palace is super original either. I dont see any reason to knock on politic so hard.

[cringe.]

instragram comment rap battle palace vs politic whoever pulls the craziest rhymes gets full rights to triangles, hip hop, new york and vhs for the rest of skateboarding's life

[tuque]

I'm just bummed that all the "controversy" is tainting the emergence of such a rad little company.  They're both good in their own ways.  Whatever.

I wonder who sent it considering there are only 4 dudes on the team.

the next team meeting  is gonna turn into a "the whole class ain't gonna leave the room before you tell me who placed the thumbtack on mrs. robinsons chair"- situation.

all press is good press

[dankradschwag]

this is so dumb, there really isn't much similarity at all. i just dont see it, the fucking video wasnt even vhs. yeah the background thing was, but thats more to show how srcewed the politics is. and besides, a us company should have rights over new york and our politicians than some hipster brit company. really dudes, stop this shit. and obviously it was curtis rapp who sent the email.
