Rappers are constantly rapping about their rides, whether it's the new Rolls-Royce they just pulled up in, the Lamborghini that they just smanged their girl in, or the private jet they just took to a remote island. But let's be real for a minute. The real set of wheels that's been trending in the rap game lately has been rollerblades. Most of these younger rappers were watching the Disney movie Brink at the exact same time we were, so it's no surprise. Aside from T.I., however, most haven't been seen out in public sporting the blades. So, we decided to imagine these pictures for you. Strap up, buckle down and get your knee pads ready for these hilarious photoshopped images of rappers in rollerblades.

Wale
What, you've never seen those that type of rollerblades before? That's because Wale was the only one to get the Phil Knight special editions that were built in the Oregon locker room and woven with real field turf.
Rick Ross
These are the wheels that Rick Ross has been reduced to after Maybach went out of business.
Yasiin Bey
In an effort to further complete his new persona as Mr. Bey, Yasiin has made the personal choice to wear rollerblades 24/7 from now on.
Mac Miller
If you weren't aware, Mac Miller used to serve slushies and limeades as a rollerblading bellhop at Sonic.
Lupe Fiasco
Ever wonder why LASERS was so whack? It wasn't because the label controlled him. It's because he was rollerblading for a year instead of skateboarding.
Lil Wayne
It might just be us, but Trukfit's popularity makes it seem like the brand might have been a bit more fitting as a front for rollerblades. That way, Weezy might be able to stay a little more balanced on two feet, too.
J. Cole
Oh, did that explosion frighten you, J.? Sorry, didn't mean to disturb your rollerblade practice.
Jay-Z
Jay is getting his reps in early, practicing for when Blue Ivy is going to be rolling around.
Game
When he's not busy inserting guest verses into his albums, Jayceon loves spending some time with just him and the roller rink.
Drake
You can't see them, because of his suit, but Drake's the only one on this list wearing knee and elbow pads.
Meek Mill and Rick Ross
Look, Ross even bought Meek a pair! It came with a complimentary "RUH!"
Curren$y
You ever see a dude shift into 5th gear with a pair of blades on his feet?
Kid Cudi
Despite the rocky terrain, rollerblading is actually the preferred choice of transportation on the moon, so Cudi doesn't know why you're lookin' at him so weird.
Common
Look how sweet Common is playing basketball in rollerblades.
Childish Gambino
Why does Donald Glover look so natural wearing these? Oh yeah, he went to community college.
Chief Keef
This is what Chief Keef was doing when he decided to ditch 50 Cent, Drake, and Wiz Khalifa.
Big Sean
Have you guys heard the origins of Big Sean's ad-libs? He was riding back from a party in his blades and had to swerve to miss a man walking a dog that was bigger than him. He was so angry that he turned around to yell, "boi!" in a hard tone but ran straight into a curb, blurted out "oh God!" and fell on his A$$, A$$, A$$.
A$AP Rocky
His name might be Rocky, but he's not one to let a few pebbles get in the way of his blade game.
