Rap

[SirFryanator]

I know this thread has probably been made already, but whatever.

Why are rap and park/freestyle skiing put together so much? I think rock and stuff would sound so much better. At least in my movies it does.

 

[chemicalski]

becasue rap hits so hard. and if you edit to the beat you get a super nice flow. besides were all gangsta

 

[chapz]

yeah, park skiing just goes better with beats, guitars and skiing just dont go together, no offense

 

[Redstar]

Because it's what's hot right now.

 

[Edward.]

because the people that make the films like rap better than rock

 

[bmxican_89]

it all depends on the style of skier. picture watching tanner hall or travis heed to some fast ass rock. it just doesnt work. just because you dont like "rap", even though its actually hiphop, doesnt mean it shouldnt be in a video.

 

[rastaride]

any rock made after 1979 should never be put in movies. im down for some sweet classic rock, but hip hop and reggae soound soooo much sicker, and yes, skiers are gangsters

 

[AmbushClothing]

im black

 

[BusyJohnSohn]

its just so much smoother and more chills

 

[BusyJohnSohn]

what about pumping up some classical tuneskis in the vids. n That would be straight up thug

 

[Dilla]

because when youre editing it gives you a solid foundation to work off of

 

[garrett.]

with fast rap u have to go as fast as the beat

 

[Calb3rt]

i think that every person their own steeze music that goes well w/ them skiing, most peoples steeze music is rap cause its flows good but some poepls skiing doesn't mingle well with it you know? maybe its just me

 

[squibble]

i just like it better, guitar reminds me of dirty hippies who say "man" all the time.

 

[tBenz]

i like rock and rap/hip-hop about equal, but when it comes to skiing rap and hip-hop are way better for some reason

 

[BoomSkier]

i listen to rap/hip-hop all the timek, it just gets me in the mood to do what ever i feel like doing. it pumps me up and give me a excuse to pop a cap on someones's ass, cause fat joe said so.

 

[sKILOve07]

i like rock alot but i listen to everything when i ski.. i think the beat to rap songs.. theres just something that pumps you up about it

 

[SkiMN]

park skiing edits better to music with a more obvious beat to it that hits harder. Backcountry skiing seems to edit better to more chilly type music especially filmed form a wide angle.

 

[patrickcowan]

cause most people suck too bad at editing to edit to rock. and rap is super easy to edit to.

 

[patrickcowan]

that and taner hall

 

[skiinscotland]

yeh,its easyer to edit to 'hiphop' than rock,but you can use bands like rage against the machine.i listen to mostly metal and reggae when i ski tho

 

[Greenish]

ya, rap just has a very distinct beat, so its easier to make a video flow with rap than rock
