[MF budz]

These nikkas don't know

I keep saying we need a skateboard thread for all the random skate shyt. We getting ass like we played football now.

 

[Milk N Cookies]

Was expecting kick push

2001

Yeah instantly thought of Rockstar. Vans (the song) is what put the Pack on, not Skateboarding in general.

Edit: I also wan to add, Steve Martin gave the song the 'in Bringing Down the House when he was at the Club trying to save Charlene & was rapping it. It's not on YouTube tho

 

[Mandarin Duck]

nikkas is really in here saying Kick Push started the poser skateboard era in HIp-Hop?
Vans by The Pack had nikkas buying Sk8 hi's and Famous shirts
That song was getting way more play than Kick Push

Vans had vans popping and shyt but i know nikkas who legit went out and bought a skateboard after kick push. I remember my white friends being pissed at kick push, "all he does is an ollie in the video" .

That pack album was getting played at every high school party though.

I used to watch the Rangers videos on YouTube and practice. I remember one time we was at church and some kid was like "bet I could jerk better than you " we bust out the usb MP3 players and proceeded to having a dance battle in front of the girls and they would vote for the winner.

Once I hit the pin drop, spun then hit the moonwalk right after, it was over

I tried to do the pindrop one time, I did the twirl and dip but I couldn't get back up I said fukk this shyt and gave up.

It was cool in the sense of it brought kids together to have a dance circle like they did in the 80's-90's. Jerkers had all the bytches, that I will admit, for some reason. Especially the ones that had yellow skinny jeans on with a random ass blonde patch in they head. I was tight that they were bagging all the shorties I wanted

 

[Canon]

2001

[Family Lives Matter]

The BasedGodone of the most slept on culture icons of the past 20 years

 

[SouljaVoy]

Do yall nikkas not know how to utilize the booth?

 

[Kenny West]

that jerking/teach me how to dougie era was fun. one of the few dance jawns I bothered to learn

 

[kaldurahm]

Naw this thread isn't about a mixtape verse Papoose had in 2004.

 

[Crayola Coyote]

So Avril Lavigne wasnt lit

 

[How Sway?]

This song and kick push came out around the same time. But Skating was slowly becoming more popular with black dudes regardless.

People always mention Pharrell, but he aint influence anything as far as more brothas getting into skating.
