It seems like the song was probably only included because of its recent success on the alt-rock charts, but success doesn't mean it's a good fit for a Tony Hawk game.Unfortunately, a few tracks from the original games still haven't made the cut. It's also one of the worst, and feels out of place on a soundtrack built on California hip-hop and '90s Warped Tour-era punk. "bloody valentine" by Machine Gun Kelly is from 2020, making it one of the newest songs in the game.
An older song by the band would've fit better in the game. In terms of recent songs that are new additions to the Pro Skater 1+2 updated soundtrack but don't really vibe well, "Bomb Drop," a 2017 song by Less Than Jake, is an odd choice, considering the band put out considerably better music decades ago. Songs like "Blood Brothers" by Papa Roach haven't aged especially well, and "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" by Primus is still just as annoying as it was in 1999, when it appeared in the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Still, there's a couple of tunes that should've been left on the cutting room floor and weren't.
Not all the songs in Tony Hawk games are great, which is probably why several of them were cut for the Pro Skater 1+2 release. Of all the newly added songs, "Can I Kick It?" by A Tribe Called Quest is the most welcome addition and a near-perfect fit.
A Tribe Called Quest is still one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time, and "Can I Kick It?" is the perfect addition to a Tony Hawk game and vibes well with the '90s nostalgia Pro Skater 1+2 fosters. Not all the new additions are recent, though. "Duck Eat Duck World" by Destroy Boys and "West Coast" by FIDLR are both fairly recent songs and both are standouts. However, the game also features some great new additions to the soundtrack. Other fan-favorites like "When Worlds Collide" by Powerman 5000, "No Cigar" by Millencolin, and Bad Reglion's "You" are thankfully in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 as well.

It's like skateboarding through a time warp and coming out in 2000. It's a callback to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and it's instantly invigorating. The soundtrack to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 features sixty songs, both from the original games and brand-new ones. As soon as the opening movie starts, Rage Against the Machine's "Guerrilla Radio" begins to play.
