Was a huge Kareem Campbell fan back in the mid to late 90s. Have a Menace hat he signed in 1997 sitting on the shelf next to me right now actually. Most recent footage I recall seeing of him was in this Etnies skate and create years ago. Was still looking quite comfortable on a board at that time.

Not Louis.. they have scouts n shit who go to popular areas where knockoffs are sold and will sue your face off. Go with Gucci  :P

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.

So because some board collector / blogger liked menace he should be allowed to make knock offs ?

Once (when I was 18), I was walking home, having just been released from jail, and I saw Kareem Campbell rolling a joint in his car. He nodded at me and kept rolling.

Kareem never sued me. Once I explained myself to him and explained how much money I wasn’t making we were good. I think I made 30 shirts and gave away half that.

 I even got him to agree to shoot an interview during all that drama (never squander an opportunity ha). We’ll see if that ever happens though.

You still should have asked first ... I thought illuminate and 101 were cool ... would Ricky and Natas have a right to be bummed if I started printing shirts?

So Kareem actually comes out of this looking good.

Let’s not pretend skateboarding hasn’t been ripping off logos/designs for their own benefit (for decades). Every company in existence has likely gotten a cease and desist from someone.

Then when it happens to them, it’s time to lawyer up. Foh.

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

He certainly would have fit in with all the footage/photos/anyfuckingthing he's put out since.... 1997
For someone w.no signature ur awfully hostile, & that is why I do this

Kareem had an interview with Muckmouth back in 2013

https://www.muckmouth.com/kareem

Read it. It's interesting. It goes over him checking his pager during lines and talks about trademark infringement with circa and stuff. Kareem is sick. Dude just looked cool on a skateboard. I always played as him in the Tony Hawk games.

Holy shit he still looks amazing on a board. Kinda bummed I started skating in 2000-01 which is pretty much the exact period he seems to have dipped. We all got robbed

Rat tails

To do real estate etc. in Texas is one thing, but im certain that people with more of a demanding job has been able to squeeze in some regular type of skating. Especially in 20 fucking years time. Kareem is one of my all time favorite skaters so its nothing too negative, just disappointing haha!

Instagram clip was cool, even small shit like that would not be too hard to put up on a regular bases within such long period of time. Through social media or even better, through his own fucking company.

Anyone read his interview in Juice? saw the photos that was in there but could never manage to read the writing. This would be like 2 years old maybe?

I get that you’d like to see some clips, I would too, but if he’s not trying to maintain a presence in skateboarding why the fuck would he bother? His legacy is unfuckable with, he’s got nothing to prove. I like guys that can just walk away from it all.

came across some boner on youtbube comments who said Kareem was always talented, just a shame he had such a bad style.  I replied I know it's all opinion and personal preference, much like anything in life, and you're certainly entitled to your wrong opinion.

Having a skateboard company is trying to maintain a presence in skateboarding. If not based strictly on your own name, you got a company up and running. Not sure how many board sales City Star 2.0 has had since it started but I am certain more people including myself would be following it on a regular basis as well as buying product if  there was at least a few Kareem decks with good graphics along with a few clips here and there like the instagram clip someone posted earlier.

This would make City Stars more profitable as sales would increase, so if you are dealing with real estate and investments you should be able to see the benefits for you company by putting out some footage, anything, along with decent product, as a way to grow your business.

Then again, if you dont have to care about money, can afford to have a company that not really does much but still exists and just skating for fun real low-key, your probably in a better situation then plenty of other people struggling to stay relevant and earn a few bucks! Less pressure and more free!

Hey, goldenbullcow, it's wild how morally opposed you are to making a run of shirts, but trying to dig up details of a kid's death to the point of obsession is fair game, huh? Fuck off.

Anyways, back to brass tacks, Kareem had two tricks in the first Boys of Summer.
Ha SLAP's resident libtard and NY pro cocksucker.
