aesop rock
MF doom
madvillain (which is the collab. between madlib and MF doom)
cannibal ox

[Flipstreetskate]

well first of all this should be in the music section. if you went there you would also notice that there are already threads on this. but to help with your rapper situation, look for rappers with good beats, that is what determines the skate-quality of the song. Nas and Gang Starr are good calls.

[thechemicalguru]

kk thanks for the replys

[grimreaper65]

Oldschool metal, megadeth, anthrax, slayer, etc

[Zeppelin_lives]

if you want rappers with tight beats then listen to jurassic 5 or the roots

[seber8]

[BoardAbuser]

The B-52s --Rock Lobster

[just_skate_]

[evilcheese00]

Interpol, i like cruising to them..
RHCP, some of their songs seem to be written for a skate part.
And whatever band i'm into at the time i can usually get my groove onto, Eighteen Visions at the moment.
Last week i had the BBC Grandstand theme tune blasting out so just proves you can skate to anything.

Starstruck by Yellowcard is good for skating. Gives me alot of motivation.

[LIVE2SKATE]

The Code and Suicide Machines. And the Ramones.

[NIGhtMAre]

I can't stand skating to rap music. It even annoys me when its on thps4 when I play it.

I listen to CKY and Blindside when i skate.

[Francesco]

Modest Mouse, The Cure, Sly and the Family Stone, Le Tigre, and Jimi are all good for laid back skatin' in my friend's garage.

[Ian_Y]

Just to throw this out there. I noticed that a lot of you pick certin stuff to skate to. When Im skating I listen to the same music I do when Im not skating. I don't really have a set playlist for when I skate.

[ROCKon]

Burn in hell!
You'll never accomplish Anything!!!"

Works.

[Avawo]

Stiff Little Fingers,
The Clash,
The Casualties,
Pistols..... well most punk stuff really.

[WillSk8ForFood]

I usually close my eyes and pick from the magic CD holder. Today i picked All-american rejects! Real good choice, kinda old but theyre fun to skate to. Wish they would make a new CD.....

[Mr.42]

I like to listen to Jurrasic 5 , but usually some harder stuff , like Coal Chamber . The Ramones is good too .

[360degrees]

[Flipstreetskate]

The Smiths are very good to skate to. Some songs more than others: Handsome Devil, What She Said, This Charming Man to name a few.

[JesusRodeAFlip]

Le Tigre-Deceptacon


HELLS YEAH! w00t! :-6: Other good songs that i listen to while throwing down my thing are as follows: Tupac ft. Elton John-Ghetto Gospel, Atmosthere-One Of a Kind (Tightest raps around) Anything by Johnny Thunders (See Ali's part in really sorry) Slayer-Bloodlines, The Allentions-Pyramid 5 (This Song kicks ass) and NWA-**** The Police.
Personally i just put my Mp3 on shuffle and listen to whatever comes up next, but these are some of my faves.

Skate Hard and Have Fun.

[Laughing]

If you want to skate to something that has a beat that calms you down pick reggae. I usually listening to punk while skating like Anti-Flag or Authority Zero.

[DCsleepsalone]

[Francesco]

The Roots- "the seed"
Anything by the cure

Dropkick Murphies - Blackout is a GOOD song to skate to

[Blind Sheppard]

I find anything that is dance, new monkey, after dark, acid house, rave etc is great to skate to.

[360degrees]

punk/garage/hiphop/rap are all good too

[emericask8ter]

[Skate or Try]

[360degrees]

thats good, stupid mate

[Menikmati]

Le Tigre-Deceptacon

Okay, Rick McCrank.

I must say, this is kind of cool. I'm reading all your posts, and seeing just how many various music types you people skate to. For a lot of you, the music type you skate to, is the exact opposite of someone else's.. example, one would listen to say.. Slayer, while the other listens to MF Doom.

As for me, I generally listen to everything excluding metal.. anything from Ambulance Ltd, Mogwai, Le Tigre, and Taking Back Sunday, to NWA, Nas, and Eyedea & Abilities.

If you're a video buff, like me.. you'll notice a lot of those bands were ripped from various videos, such as Emerica, Blind, and Girl.
