Lil Wayne Hanging Out At The Skatepark of Tampa - Action Sports ...
Tags: Lil Wayne, Skatepark of Tampa ?

You know we?re living in a different era when you see rappers skateboarding for fun.? Now let?s not confuse hip-hop and rap because hip-hop has been integrated into skateboard culture for many years going back to the early 90?s with the bay area Hieroglyphics and such.? But back then, it would be quite rare to watch a skate part using the lyrical prowess of a hardcore rapper like an Ice Cube or SNOW.? Wu-Tang was used quite often and I think someone also used NWA?s ?Express Yourself?, but I can?t remember exactly who.
Today, not only are we seeing rappers in video parts, they are learning how to ride as well.
I think we can credit Pharrell for really introducing rap culture and action sports in a big way.? His shoe company ICE CREAMS are some of the most delicious skate sneakers around.? But he must wear a bullet proof vest because if he?s caught in the wrong neighborhood wearing those COLORS, who knows what could go down.

Lil Jon underneath all of that down jacket, knows how to snowboard.? I?m sure when he goes off a jump, he says ?Yeeaaaaaaah! Oh $h*t a tree!!?.

Lil Bow Wow is one of the illest shredders around.? He knows how to skate so well, they used him in a movie about skating.? Roller Skating.

Check out this footage featuring Lil Wayne (why do all the action sports rappers use ?Lil??) at the Skatepark of Tampa that features some footage of him dropping in on the bowl.? And if it looks a little empty, that?s because it?s butt crack early in the morning.? Or really late at night since it took place after a show.? That sure looked like a fun 5am session.
