You might find Stephane Yang holding down 225 Hudson Street – 5 days a week. And judging by the photos on his Facebook Page, you might also find him holding up a bar stool at Rhythm and Brews 7 days a week.

The Birdman aka Mac is busy wrapping up his Undergrad Degree in just under 7 years, running things for Boundless NY on the Westside and in his spare time interning at Complex Magazine. He’s big time now.

But before all the money, fame and the hoes. Stephane Yang was just a kid with a dream and a part time job at Rival Skateshop. Let him walk you through the Top 5 Clips that made him the Big Man he is today. Enjoy.

1. Anthony Van Engelen – Alien Workshop – Photosynthesis



“First skate video I ever watched. The whole video was sick but this has to be the best part”

2. Brian Anderson – Toy Machine – Welcome to Hell



“This whole video was great, they had amazing skaters from the beginning. Besides Anderson they had Elissa Steamer, Kerry Getz, Mike Maldonaldo, and Jamie Thomas to name a few”

3. Stefan Janoski – Expedition One – Alone



“Janoski was one of my first favorite skaters. I remember sending $2 to Expedition for stickers and they sent me back stickers and there first video. Needless to say I was syked and Expediton hooked it up”

4. PJ Ladd – PJ Ladd’s Wonderful Horrible Life



“I remember when this video came out. Ladd’s part blew my mind. East coast skating at its best”

5. Erik Ellington – Baker – Baker 3



“Ellington had the first part in the video and he killed it. Style for days. He floats off a kickflip noselide on a bench in the middle of his part. Has to be the best line”

DJ Teddy King waxes poetic on how he got into DJing and inspiration for Boundless Radio. Plus another free mixtape hosted by your family at Boundless – Download Stretch Armstrong – Lesson 1 here.

You may now proceed.

TK: Lesson 1 was the first thing I ever bought from Fat Beats NYC. I remember driving into the city with two of my friends and not even getting out of the car. My friend said what do you want the Company Flow album or the Stretch Mix. Of course I went with the Stretch mix.

Most of these songs on this mix I loved so much that it got me to start buying records. The majority of these artists music was only available on wax. So that’s how I got into Hip Hop.


Before I even was djing, I was just buying some great indi hip hop on wax and lounging out at home vibing to it. Just buying records non-stop and going to Fat Beats and Bobbitos Foot Works all the time… at least once a week.


I was buying all the songs that I heard Stretch & Bobbito play on their radio show. And the rest is history…

I’ve been djing now for 13 years and it became a huge part of my life. I want to thank Stretch & Bobbito for inspiring to learn how to DJ and getting me into Hip Hop music!

Just ordered the Diptyque Figuier Candle & This Dope Throw Pillow by Pendleton. Some solid craftsmanship indeed. The candle last up to 80 hours, it’s definitely pricy ($60) but the smell is amazing. The Pillow is gonna turn my room to life with its sunset infused color pattern. Beautiful !

A good friend of mine sent this over today, and demanded that I post it. I’m a sucker for peer pressure, but this is actually dope.

Looking into Machotaildrop I found a description that fits the trailer for this film perfectly.

A SKATEBOARD MOVIE FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE DRUGS.

Enough said. I’m in.
