Kareem Campbell
« on: January 16, 2019, 07:38:11 AM »
What the fuck happen to this guy back in the day to go from such a high profile skateboarder to pretty much invisible in every aspect?
Always though he probably had too much of an ego to ride for someone else company after running Menace/MNC/All-City/City Stars 1.0, but even second coming of City Stars was horrible and hardly any sign of footage from the guy himself.

Remember he had an interview in Juice a bunch of years back, never read it unfortunately. Would be awesome if someone for example could hook up some scans!

he didn't have a part n street cinema, and I pretended to be surprised.
He didn't even look at a skateboard in the 411 day in the life.

He moved out of Cali now lives in Texas still skates and still runs City Stars as a local company he also does real estate... He owned Axion shoes also back in the day and was in Tony Hawk pro skater when they were making big money so he is paid... He said he was just over how wack the industry was at the time so he fell back around 2003...dude is a legend couldn't really see him riding for any of these companies tho...

Menace 2.0 or MNC, the current company that's making boards, is different. Bobshirt is a really nice guy named Tim, he runs the Deckaid board exhibit with his wife as well as the interviews. He made Menace tees awhile ago as an homage to/appreciation of the company in its heyday. I have one, he sent one to me when I bought some boards off him. He obviously wasn't making them to greatly profit off the Menace name so it's bizarre why Kareem would get litigious. I guess money really changes people.

Homage or not... Nice guy or not... Dude probably should have asked..... If someone I didn't know from Adam started running reproductions of something I created and was proud of and was now defunct I'd be bent out of shape too.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I'm not saying your wrong but to me, since Tim ran the excellent Bobshirt site for many years and helped keep the World/Menace legacies alive in many ways, plus the fact that he only made a few shirts and didn't mass-produce them to cash in, that doesn't mean a lawsuit should be the outcome. I don't know all the facts but based on what I do know, it's petty to me. Like when Nikki Sixx sued Vans because they used a picture of him with Trujillo in an ad.

Kareem lost that trademark (never had one in the first place?) in the 90s, what kind of claim does he have to Menace now?

I don't know if he has the trademark or not but it's still wack to just start making shirts of someone else's design........ maybe not illegal... but still lame.

who's to say that Kareem even knew of or cared about what bobs shirt was about?  and do we know that he actually filed a law suit?

Tyshawn's thrasher cover reminded me of this as soon as I saw it:



I used to have that ad on my wall in high school.

Damn I remember that ad, everything Kareem Campbell related was so fresh back in the late 90s.

Menace was sick, but I always thought it would have been amazing if Kareem actually went to Chocolate like he was supposed to.

It won’t be an issue ... it’s an homage they will feel honored just like Kareem should have when Robert Shirt ripped him off

Don't refer to yourself in the third person, Kareem.
