NY legend Ian Reid called me out of the blue the other day, and I was glad I took the call from a 646. He told me he was a little behind on finishing his next video, ’cause his computer gave him an error message and he beat the shit out of it, so now he was starting to edit all over again. If you’ve never seen one of Ian Reid’s videos, they’re one of the funniest looks into the weirdest hood shit you’ve ever seen, everything from skate footage to Raekwon freestyles to night vision porn. I seriously don’t know how he finds and gets all this shit on video, but it’s on some genius shit OG Baker Bootleg head Jay Strickland would admire.

Watch the video, and you’ll see that Ian’s also a super talented skater and the self-proclaimed ‘King of the Seven Day Weekend’. “I wake up in the morning, like 9 o’clock, move my car. Go back in the crib, watch Maury Povich for like two hours … I gotta see the dance, you know? Niggas be like, ‘It ain’t mine! It ain’t my baby! That be the shit right there.”

Ian also has a cool Flickr collection.
