The Smoking Section headed to the Beastie Boys‘ studio in Lower Manhattan, where we were shown Gunnin’ for That #1 Spot, a new doc produced and directed by Adam Yauch, that follows the lives of 24 elite high school basketball players on their way to an MVP game at Harlem’s Rucker Park, the street-ball mecca, in ‘06. “My friend asked me to be a coach, which I don’t know how to do, but then he started asking me how to document the game,” says Yauch, who’s been ballin’ recently, after a torn ACL sidelined him. “I thought, ‘I should do this.’” To the sounds of vintage hip-hop and soul, Gunnin’ delves into the lives of current NCAA stars such as UCLA’s Kevin Love (nephew of Beach Boy Mike Love), and up-and-coming players like Brandon Jennings and Tyreke Evans. “It’s powerful stuff,” says Yauch, and we agree. He also reveals that the B-Boys are “40 percent” finished with a new disc. “It’ll be a mix of things,” he says. “We’ll play on it, and there’ll definitely be some hip-hop.” (Read more and hear music from the Smoking Section’s favorite new artists…)
