The first black man I’ve seen on a board when I was young..changed my life coming from the hood. Definitely like to see more of Kareem City Stars was lit
Kareem’s Axion shoe, I got in a foot chase with the police for skating, and lost a shoe while running because I wore double tongues back in the day. I stopped and ran back to get my Axions and still out ran the police. I remember thinking, “Fuck that. I’m getting my Kareem’s.”
Kareem is my favorite skater all time. Entire reason I started skating when I was young. Entire reason I restarted at 31 during this pandemic. Thanks fam✊
How's it going for you as a 31 year old? I've been thinking of getting back into it after 10 years of not being on a board but maybe I'm too old and my body would not be able to handle it.
@@Danielroy89 32 now my bro! Fun AF. I’d say the biggest trouble is street skating. Or, moreover the recovery from a session. I’d much rather skate transitions because as crazy as it sounds, very little pounding and slamming. Basically I’ll put as much time into recovery as any street session. Also, wood and AstroTurf etc are your friends’. Ain’t no need to worry about what anybody else thinks I was out here looking like a rookie and loving it.
@@esaiaswalker8944 It’s really frustrating because there is so much finesse involved. Ima boxer, not actively fighting anymore but, still put the work in everyday etc etc. It’s VERY similar to skating. Sometimes it’ll all come together in a perfect combination but, that’s rare. But, I’ve learned now that it’s never going to be some linear progression. It’s fun rolling with it once you give up the illusion of control.
@@TheGhettoBirdShow It would be amazing to hear from Kareem on the 9 show with his version of the history. From world , menace and the whole 90's era and hearing Kareems history would be epic.
shout out to reemo! thank you for everything you have done to represent black skate culture!!!!..... as a man of color growing up skating in the late 90s to have someone to look up to meant the world to me! much luv!!!
I say this story often but Axion Kareems grey and reflective piping saved my life in SF county jail in '98/99. They were beasting shoes from people and got to me, and they were so shocked to see a black pro skater shoe on a little white boy and they let me keep mine and actually the G's and Rasta dudes were super cool to me after that. Kept my shoes the whole time! Lol
@@scottc2276 Anything old is gonna break down though, the glue disintegrates. I guess that's why there are all these shoe restoration types that completely reglue Jordans and whatever.
@@scottc2276 I saved a pair of Sal Barbier 23's they were cream too. But the same thing happened where they started coming apart and I never wore them because they were too small. I ended up losing them in a move but man I wish I still had them. I don't even see that color around 🛹
@@WolfWould Yeah they were similar to the KC Kicks right? I had them in blue suede destroyed em skating. I hope my nikes don't break down I just collect the 90's og airmax .
You are a legend! You were owning everything way before everyone else decided to be owners! You are a true boss! Thank you! City Stars Street Cinema still hits!
Kareem Campbell & Terry Kennedy Fosho my favorite skaters of all time just found this podcast always wondered what had happen also Kareem do you have an email so I can send you my music maybe you can checkout I would really appreciate it
I am so lucky to have found this. I was just fantasizing about hearing more interviews with Kareem. This is a dream come true! Can't wait to hear all the awesome stories thanks for this guys!
@@TheGhettoBirdShow errthangggg we want to kno his thoughts on him bein a character for thps, making music, about his company shoe, maybe a comeback om shoes???🙏
@@TheGhettoBirdShow we also want to hear stories on your nephew Nak! And how you feel about being the first to influence people of color to pick up a skateboard. Them early world industry days! How you formed city stars & discovered p-rod. How you found skateboarding, changed the game by adding your twist to hip hop and skate culture. And being one of the first black skaters!
Yooooo BIG shout out! I started skating at like age ten because I saw you rip way back when. Shiiiiit, I had to fight the black kids in my neighborhood every other day up until Kick Push came out lmao. Keep killing it bro bro!
Nice to see him emerge from the underground a bit. Got hip to him watching an episode of #retrorippers but haven't been able to find much besides the Trilogy video(s).
Without knowing beforehand that they are recording in Texas at the start of the episode, being this is my first time watching, I was thinking that dude sound like Matthew McConaughey! Haha. That Texas draw ... Different from any other ward in the south!
To think he was doing hardflip bigspin either way aka ghetto bird During his time in the 90s was prolly unheard of cuz back than that was one and done now kids is doing them as warm ups or doing them down sets or into grinds

Big respect lol and yo I haven’t seen the double tongue in a hot one..ppl used to ask all the time about it
The only black skateboarder in tony hawk pro skater 2....he made young black skateboard fans like me proud
He was in it since thps 1
Harold Hunter should of been a unlocking character. RIP
I thought we're supposed to look past skin color and see people as individuals?🤔 I guess that was a lie🤷♂️

Well I’m 25 and I just started back and I have to say some stuff you get back quick, it’s been rough but mostly mental.
