The only rap that skaters here listen to is Eminem. Other than that it is Punk or maybe some reggae and ska.
Title: Re: Skaters......
Post by: JAE on October 06, 2002, 11:51:01 AM
This may hurt you guys to hear this but i used to skate. I was serious into it. And you guys should know by now i listen to underground more than anything else. I know alot about underground and I dont listen to rock, punk, ska or anything like that. The only other music i listen to is Bob Marley and SOME jazz (as long as its fonky). So theres your proof.

LMAO @ Nik definition of a hip hop head.  So do you have the rap dictionary?

Post by: truemaster on October 06, 2002, 12:58:48 PM
Most Skaters I've come across in LA are either into Rock/Punk shit or deep underground rap shit. I snowboard so I come across a bunch of these heads up at bigbear mountain, they trip me out. I saw Coolio's punk ass boarding up there to... shit was funny, he's a short mofucka!!

its depends.... there are diff types of skaters...... there are some faggot ass goth looking skate kids around here but most  just wear regular surf/skate fashion.

the thing that bugs me the most is kids dressed head to toe in skate fashion that have never skated... at least i've spent 6 years of my life (on and off) skating.

I Stopped skating after i got my car...i took my nephew to the skate park Once in the 2 years since i got my car, and i was still aight i guess, I couldnt really do flip tricks anymore, but other than that, i was movin up and down the ramps ok

Post by: Doggystylin on March 21, 2005, 12:50:52 AM
I used to skate back around 99-2000...then i stopped til 04 right now i like to skate sometimes jus for fun, i completely suck it and i wouldnt call myself a skater, i just like to try cuz it looks cool and i always end up hurting myself. I have some skater clothes, like a few DC shirts, etnies shoes and stuff but then again i have more than 1 style...

and about skaters that listen to rap....hell yeah they do, theres plenty of them, not all of the of course, theres the share that listen to punk but many of them are open to punk and rap, just like a lot of rap heads are open to rock.. and those of you who said they listen to underground backpack rap, well your right, their into atmosphere, living legends, hiero, that type of shit..
Title: Re: Skaters......
Post by: Don Seer on March 21, 2005, 04:10:34 AM
over here the people i skate with are just as diverse as the people i know who don't skate.. so i don't think you can really pigeon hole 'skater music' taste... although my car has a reputation as being the "g ride" when we're out travelling  :D

i just (like 30 mins ago) copped a cheap camcorder on ebay.. some of my homies have some decent digital ones (one was a film student) but i just want one to have to mess about stuff.. plus i did an amazing slam yesterday down a set of setps which would have been hilarious on film (ended up upside down wedged between a gate and a kerb..lmao.. bit achey today coz of that.. hehe)  my friend puts together a local scene video so we can submit some footage thats made with my cam when they arent about.. although i have a feelnig he might be snobby about it not being digital (its Hi-8).. but fuck it..
(i have a nvidia 5950 ultra MyVIVO on my home PC so i can rip to my computer easily)

i'm no good compared to how i used to be these days.. but its great fun as a sport and as a social thing.. having a cam will make it more fun.. if anything i can make my own little reel just for myself..

am currently thinking about 1) how i'm going to prop this little camera up on my car while we're filming and 2) how to charge the camera from my car.. maybe a voltage inverter? will see what widgets the cam comes with

I use to skate everyday when I use to live in Southern California but I stoped when I moved to Florida.

Most skaters out their in Souther California like rap and not just the commecrical shit but also some of the underground shit. In Florida they are all these gay ass skaters that dress goth and shit and act gay and listen to punk. I hate those types.

Post by: We Fly High on March 21, 2005, 12:50:54 PM
suprisingly, i skate too. bet you guys didnt know that. i used to skate back in HS for a little before i got a car... but now i use the skateboard at college to get around the neighborhoods. not really doin anythin serious with it though, already got my fractured bone from doing stupid shit. i mainly use it as a form of short term tranposrtation now, cos my neighborhood has hella cars, and once you move your car out your space, its going to get taken and it takes forever to find another one, so ive grown used to just skating as transportation.

i dunno, the skater culture must be much different in california, cos most of the ones i know and have seen are all hella down with hip hop, like to the fullest. and they're the last people to be bumpin radio mainstream shit. most are down with the rawest underground shit. if you take the time to watch skate videos, they play like punk music in it but they also play some hardcore underground hip hop. like if you go to skate shops nowadays, you see hella hip hop mixtapes in there. i dunno, i definitely dont think theres a separation of culture. maybe a little bit.. its hard to even imagine a skater that would listen to radio mainstream, cos the type of activities they do are pretty extreme, and i think that would reflect in their music, you know what i mean.

if you guys know the clothing brand Lifted Research Group, everyone in hip hop wears the brand. they sponsor Jadakiss, just blaze, kanye west, the roots, raekwon, de la soul, talib kweli, planet asia, living legends, alchemist, john legend,etc.. but the thing is theyre originally known as a skate brand and they used to and still sponsor cats like karl watson and rob gonzalez. that part of the skate culture has definitely meshed.

i never really tried to seriously, but i like snowboarding, which is similar, also as for the whole style, kinda. i wear some skater clothes, but not always and not exclusively...and as for music, like white boy said, you canīt generalize it. still, MOST skaters i know like rap, but more the european stuff and the blackstar-roots-ditc etc. shit, many are very concerned to talk about īgangsta rappersī as disdainfully as possible, prolly also to distance themselves from the fubu-wearing hiphop kids, cause most of em donīt know shit about gangsta rap at all. there are many who like ska and punk too though, and rock music in general
