Sage Elsesser Music Video / Higher Self

Anyone have a link to TK's song in Baker 3 that doesn't have sounds of skateboarding over it

[Style Police]

That wasn't horrible.

Still my #1 skate rapper

[SubCurban Commando]

Dunno why OP is so mad, that was very decent, beat was sick and he's got a pretty good flow too.

[offkilter]

His stuff on Earl’s “Some Rap Songs” was pretty decent.

Aesop rock is the best skating rapper
dude can switch tre, with good style, skates for fun, and actually made great music.

As far as rapping skater, my vote is on Quim. sage’s clip isn’t quite embarrassing but it’s more of aesthetics piece than an intriguing piece of music. will be interesting to see him progress though. do what you want people. if you could impossible and heelflip over nipple high obstacles on command, maybe it would nice to try some other creative outlet and give yourself a challenge.

Quim is good, I bought his album. If only we could get Tony Manfre on the ones and twos and Quim on the mic...

Edit - Sage wasn't bad, I thought his voice would be worse. Good flow as well. Video was well-edited, little awkward moments here and there but still stylish.

I didn't realize Sage had so many features/production credits

[Brguy]

I don't see anything linking Tiago Lemos to this stuff.

[Lenny the Fatface]

Sage reminds me of that Tim character from "How to make it in America". He was a antagonist/parody on how Transplant New Yorker dudes always have some new passion every year and operates as if they've always been on that wave.

Sage's rapping isn't bad though, and he skated to Sun Ra on Blessed so he gets a pass.

[moonordie]

Never cared about Sage because his last name sounds like that 80's brand called Ellesse or sth like that

[elbarto]

That’s the dumbest reason I’ve ever heard for someone not fuckin with someone.

Skated with Aes a couple times after already being a huge fan since like 5th grade. He’s a really nice dude and you’re right about him ripping. He’s got a mean impossible. Dudes like 6’ 4” too I always thought he’d be short lol

[RCB3]

That Hopsin dude is pretty good at skating. Better flatground than me for sure. Starts at :28:

SKATERS WHO WANNA BE RAPPERS ARE POSSIBLY THEEEEEEE WORST

NOT 1 HAS EVER SUCCEEDED AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION !!!

took the words right outta my mooth

[Buck Russell]

[Ocelot]

[whorific]

[Grind King Rims]

You need to listen to more Sun Ra, my friend.




I like Sage and I like his rapping. More power to him.
I wonder if the people who are comparing Sage to Earl know that they've been house-sharing for years? Same crew, it's all good.

don't know but when i heard that beat i instantly thought it was a donald byrd sample. haven't heard quiet temple in years but im pretty sure it was also used in a supreme clip or something

I saw earl in 2013 and sage joined him on stage for a song as himself well before navy blue was ever a thing

[43]

Props to Navy Blue for still getting footage while living with a guy who smokes giant spliffs like that.

[Grind King Rims]

Oh he was also on Earl/Knxwledge's excellent radio show at least once.

[potpie]

yeah this one of my favorite songs on SRS. sage has a pretty good style skating and i think he's tolerable at the very least at rapping.
