“Watching Straight Outta LA, Ice Cube’s documentary about the Oakland Raiders. Late on, Cube conveys hip hop becoming a worldwide business at the end of the eighties by depicting himself on three global currencies; a hundred dollar bill, some yen, and ten of the aul fellas. Those first few punts must have meant a lot to him…”

    So what? You see something remotely Irish on TV and you need to tell us? The I Miss Tayto When Abroad Generation personified. Might be good for you get Straight Outa D6.

      Frankly I miss Tayto even when at home and have been unable to overcome the irrational desire to consume them.

        Why do you find the need to attach a YouTube comment to every single post you inflict upon us?

          I think that in the balance, given the amount Clampers comments we can safely call your comment bullshit.

          I’m just sharing what was my morning full of awesomeness.

          You might have noticed, it’s the same totally awesome clip in each awesomely cool comment I posted.

          [ “awesomely” is a real word :) Hah! Awesome! ]

          Shoot me!

    The doc’s good, Cube is not the most natural of narrators so there’s a lot of bluster and hype. It never feels particularly personal or deep. Still very interesting view on what sports meant to the sorts of kids that would become involved in gangs around that time. And the bewilderingly home made animated inserts are pretty amazing.

    Right, is this your first time on Broadsheet or…?

    Part of the ESPN 30 for 30 series of documentaries. Many other good ones in that series.

    Cool, great designs last forever. Should have left Swift’s hair & collar on him
    Among several alterations they replaced the serial number with what looks to be a landline phone number..
    Anybody try it?

      Seems to be 6 digits 064 number so should have another 6 in front of it (I think – someone from Kerry may know better) now. Nothing on Google for it as that though.
