Title: Where did Let's Go come from?
Post by: SR ACF on August 06, 2022, 12:01:54 AM
It's the most annoying phrase in skateboarding and I wanna know who's to blame. Feel like I heard it from Foy first?

Tom Brady says it a lot. There's even a commercial of him saying it repeatedly. MMA fighters and weightlifters and other broey dudes say it a lot. It's been around a long time but its current popularity comes from jock and meathead culture.

That would fit the kind of contest bro skater guys that popularised it as a roll away celebration like Foy, Zion, etc. Does the jah use it?

Damn ive never seen that Tom Brady compilation before, I knew it didn't originate from skateboarding but that explains a lot.  I was at a skatepark about six months ago with a little league game going on next to it and some probably 10 year old hypeman in the dugout screamed LETS GO BRO after his team scored a run.  quite certain he did not pick that up from Jamie Foy

When I first moved to Los Angeles, I was going to the same gym as actor Barry Newman, who played Kowalski (a Vietnam War hero-turned-pill-addicted driver for hire) in the seminal film "Vanishing Point."  The main thing I remember about this dude was that he would walk around the locker room, naked, yelling, "Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" I think he had Tourette's syndrome.

Heard this song and thought of this thread.... I want to say the current phrasing of 'let's go' gained popularity after that chris brown song, 'look at me now' in 2011...

He says 'lee'goo' in the beginning of the highly popular song.. Also notable that's when lil wayne started skating heavy and says 'got money on my radar, dressed like a skater' in the song at the height of lil wayne craze.

Part of my reasoning for that being that I worked in a highschool around that time and remember every kid saying that phrase and hearing it morph to grammatically correct but louder... 'LET'SSS GOOOO'

Not sure any other reference of 'let's go' mentioned in this thread line up with the current status of LETTTSSSGOOOO

"look at me now... look at me now... im gittiin pay-perr."

"look at me now... look at me now... im gittiin pay-perr."



This is the most astute hypothesis on this thread.
But I would like to add in some Lil' Jon "Let's Go"s, which he yells out in many of his songs. In "Yeah" with Usher LJ yells out "Let's Go" at the beginning and starts up that sickass lazer beat. I think Chappelle even said the phrase in his skit in order to impersonate Lil' Jon. Obviously the concept of "Let's Go" has been around forever so there's probably no pinpoint origin but I do agree with others here and think the last big push to be the mainstream rowdyrouser came from TV fans hearing Tom Brady yell it and thought to themselves "oh I have GOTTA start saying that!"
Can you imagine?
