I decided a short while ago that I definitely have to bounce from LA at some point in the next few years. We've done all we can for one another and now we're just going through the motions. But this clip below? It's the intersection of LA and ground-level Blackness that makes me love both entities and reminds me that when they're at the top of their games, they're untouchable... Dig the back-flip.
