I haven't, I used to roller blade up until I was about 14 or 15
and I started getting into chicks? I was a rollerblader. I wasn't a
competition rollerblader, but I rolled with some peeps that skated. When I
moved to Chicago, I was in the city and didn't really know a lot kids that
skated, but I think that it's the same shit. We feel their music; they feel
ours; let's break the walls. Over the past decade that has happened. I
think skateboarding videos are very interesting.
Word, like I watch it and I recognize I can't do that, but he can
and they work hard to get where they can do that. You definitely see the
musical barriers breaking as well. People write off that skaters all listen
to punk, but then you see some guy skating to Wu-tang.
Right, Right, they hate rap as much as I do.
Hey now?
I say that a bit sarcastically, most of the skaters I grew up
around were anti-hip hop, but now a days the cultures have overlapped
exponentially.
How should we close this out?
Well, we can close it out like this man. The good things in life
stay the same. Birthwrite is here to stay. We're not only going to make rap
music, we're going to expand?..hahahaha.
