Somewhere between 2001-2003, I was a gangly little fool. All tall and disproportionate. Limewire or some shit gave us access to poorly ripped skate vids (most of which started with YEEY YEYY!!! ICE CUBE BEBE) and Welcome to Hell was a favourite of mine. I really liked BA. He looked really tall but moved fluently, and I wanted to skate like that.
One day, my homie Dylan tells me Jamie Thomas didn't want BA on Toy Machine initially because BA was gay. This was like 2002 or 03 at the latest. I never really thought anything of it.
I hadn't seen Dylan in like 10+ years when BA came out, but I thought of him right away. Dirty D, if you're on here, how'd you get that spicy intel on the Chief?
