I hope people can appreciate how unselfish it is that Wayne is letting skaters use his music for parts without demanding payment. I think that more than a lot of things demonstrates a true and genuine love for the sport. Just wanting to be a part of something because being involved is rewarding enough. Ofc he’s extremely wealthy, but often very wealthy people are the most greedy. Hats off to him. That’s just awesome.

[@viking_nor]

If he didn't have a lot of money he would call his lawyer

[@AP-op4rc]

@@viking_nor Oh who knows dude. There are other, smaller artists that give people rights to use their music in different kinds of projects without much in return. Sometimes for a percentage, sometimes to benefit from the additional exposure, and sometimes just because they like and want to support or be a part of a project. You never know.

Hawk, Wolf...and Wayne!!!🤔 From a lifelong "black" skater, I am 47 at the moment, I can truly appreciate the significance of what I just watched. Pride is too small of an emotion to describe how I feel about Wayne the skater...and for who I consider a godfather of the culture (Hawk) to be impressed is awesome validation...that we understand you didn't need, kick push for ever. Awesome show guys.

[@anthonyweinersnose2583]

I've been trying to find this video. It was a black dude who seemed very "hood" doing 360 flips wearing untied timberland boots. He was doing them 360 flips just about as fast as I can snap my fingers. I have no idea who that dude is, it was just a random video that was popular like seven years ago. It honestly seemed like he only did that one trick. Pretty fucking impressive. I met this black dude who did flat ground bmx one time and he blew my mind. Seemed like a pro to me but he said he was just another dude. He did this trick where he rode in tighter and tighter and tighter circles until eventually he went up on just his front wheel and was just free-spinning like a fkn figure skater or a ballerina. Just impossibly fast, an impossible number of rotations. He rode it out man, that fucking guy was nasty with it. This was in downtown Detroit at like three am, back around 2012-13. I'll never forget that dude, what a thrill. Edit:basically what I'm saying here is, these types of "sports", I think of them more as artform, they are universal, for everybody, maybe Lil Wayne cant do a 360 flip but come on, nobody can do EVERYthing. Even myself, I suck, but I love to just roll around, tic-tac, just feels good. Just like anything, cooking, golf, gardening, sewing, play an instrument Just to express yourself. Even if you suck, ppl like watching other ppl have fun, it's all fun. All good things.

[@stevenhuckabay7997]

I'm 48 now I'm assuming you are too. Do you ever still skate? I use to be really good but I recently tried a impossible and couldn't. I was so upset but I now understand the saying of not using it you lose it. Still have love for it. We use to get laughed at by the black guys when skating yelling out yeah dude that's rad man. I would say man it's not even like that. Now look at how far skating got I love it

[@m.alexanderfields677]

I don't think Wayne is the rap goat, but out of most rappers if not all I'd rather sit and chat or hang out with Wayne. He seems to be such a decent person. He made the money, did it all but still sits and is just a person. No ego. No hubris. Just a man. I dig that shit. He's a real one

I just bitched at a bunch of nonsensical haters on some other videos who were talking about his style, I said short version that I was glad I didn't have to see weak people like them at my skate spots because me and the rest of the skate fam respect him as one of our people who is more dedicated then many I have seen that have better style because they take it for granted and try to gatekeep and set an imaginary bar you must pass to ride.

mannnnn when i first heard lil' wayne skated i thought "oh great just another dude trying to leach off skateboarding" (Very negative thought to have about a dude you don't know) and then I got to meet him and skate with him at Skatepark of Tampa years ago. Wayne is one of the most GENUINE and rad dudes. you could tell he LOVES skateboarding and that is rad. i was already a fan of his music, but I became of fan of him as a human. Class Act for sure.

Pass this to wayne. Wayne the reason why skateboarding has such an appeal to you as a musician is because of the rhythmic quality of being on a ramp and the Zen like meditation it allows you to have in your own space It's a cathartic And calming experience for the those who experience it properly I'm glad you found it found your Zen
