Even if you're not a skateboarder, you can appreciate the shittiness of the following videos. Incase you're not familiar with the embarrassment that is "skate rap" videos, let me break it down for you...
The first pro skateboarder turned rapper was Chris Gentry. He was (and I say "was" because other skaters have bumped him off) the laughingstock of the industry in the late 90's with his lame, candy-ass rap songs that made you want to climb into a deep, deep hole and never come out.
Unfortunately, Gentry doesn't make me cringe as much as some more current skateboarders have recently. First there was Terry Kennedy. He used to be a cool shit until he somehow got involved with MTV, dated Run's daughter, and now Terry Kennedy (a mediocre pro at best) is a rapper. When I first saw this video, I couldn't believe it was serious. He's rapping about shoes!
I thought this problem of skaters turned rappers couldn't get any worse. Boy was I wrong about that. Enter Jereme Rogers. Jereme, a pro from Boston, used to be a cool dude. I've met the guy, and he's always been a little weird, but he took the embarassment of skate rap to a whole new level with this dreadful display...
Go Go Go
Does anyone else find these songs unbearable?
