Lupe describes my journey with skateboarding so vividly in this song. I met many personalities through it, this song makes me tear up every-time because I think about those days,the innocence, I even remember the morning I first heard this track skating through the neighborhood with my homies. This hits hard because my the majority of my crew has passed on. These days I skate alone, it’s a little bit hard for me to make friends on a deeper level because I’m so desensitized to death and passing of so many people I shared many memories with. But everyday I push forward and commemorate my life for those who didn’t have the chance to. Although it wasn’t where i thought or where we thought we would be, it’s a life man. This comment is for y’all.
This song made you want to skateboard even if you never skated in your life lol #Sk8orDie Edit: thanks for the likes, I’ve been shredding since I could walk 🛹 ⛸🏂
And it aint also bout the colour, Religion or race, Once u see a dude with a wooden plank with 4 wheels on it, Thats dude is my brother and we dont need a language for it, Skateboarding speaks for it, Anyways im bout to go skate at fking 4 am alone chowzzz
This song isn't really about skateboarding. It's more about finding something (like skateboarding) to only for a moment escape from the misery in the life of the boy in the story.
You could also associate the "dream-like" life of living free to drug addiction and selling drugs. Could be that the boy Lupe talks about it a kid who fell into drugs early on in his life and later met a chick who was addicted too. Getting chased off by security guards as they slept on benches and public spaces. We can put anything to fit that theme.
The storytelling, the imagery, the amazing music, all blended together perfectly to create a timeless classic song from the heart and soul. You can feel it when someone puts their heart and soul into it
The imagery is especially meaningful to me because I recognize all these places. At 0:19 he's sitting on the front step of Uprise skate shop, where I've bought ALL my fucking decks, and the shot at 0:25 is the Puerto Rican Promenade, where my fucking house is. I live on that block.

This was a amazing time for hip hop. The culture was literally transforming from gangster rap into a more relatable fun culture of creatives. 2006 was the year i graduated high school and its crazy how so much has changed. This was the beginning of corporations capitalizing off sneakers and japanese street wear became super popular too. I love watching hip hop evolve and i cant wait to see what the next generation is going to do.

Thank you Sir. I m 52 years old. I skate since i was 7....... You know perfectly what does skateboarding is...... It s all about freedom. Peace on earth and then.....😇😇❤❤🙏🙏
Was? Brother he dropped 4 albums since 2019 including 1 this year. He's STILL one of the best lyricist alive. I recommend you listen to his song called Cake. He dropped it a few months ago.
As a Chicago native i will always have this on repeat....came at a time where we needed something fresh and true to the core, that is lupe. So nostalgic
The story of this song hit home......its a timeless classic.....if u ever been homeless you feel this even if u aint a skater.....this song is reality for a lot of people.....still coastin in 2020..... never stop kickn never stop pushin as long as u got wheels keep rollin
It DOESN’T MATTER JUST AS LONG AS YOU GET OUT THERE!!!!!!! You know the sake community shows nothing but love ❤️ as long as you have balance your gucci
56 year-old former skater, and this song hits me perfectly. Just. . . Perfectly. Now I'm trying more Lupe Fiasco and loving his storytelling more and more.
The song is so motivational and inspirational. Basically it talks about you are going to have hard times in your life but the best solution you can do is having a positive point of view such as smiling and keep moving forward. It also makes me appreciate life more and don't take life and your loved ones for granted because one day you lose it forever.😍😎💯👍
It's sad man. Even then, only a few appreciate the realness. The rest of these kids are I'll informed and even when you put some real stuff in front of them, they trash it.
As much as I love this song. hip hop was still "dead" and fans argued about it. Don't forget "snap yo fingaz" was around and other bubble gum shit. If you disagree with me that's cool but that just shows that nothing has changed in hip hop. Louder perhaps but people still argue about the same crap. We'll be saying the same shit in 2020's hip hop.
When I was a little kid I was terrified of riding a skateboard and didn't want to learn how to. But this was my favorite song and I would always imagine some guy skating till night fall on the streets of my hometown because he loved it so much. Didn't know that dude that I imagined was me after all these years. It's just so crazy and surreal.
Fiasco claimed that the label traveled to the Philippines to find the artist whose song “Kick, Push” samples - singer Celeste Legaspi’s “Bolero Medley” - and purchase the rights to the song. “They flew down to the Philippines…and bought the entire record from her,” he said. “They actually own the song that ‘Kick, Push’ is sampled from.”🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
@Matija Kovačević idgaf where its coming from thats your opinion nothing Kendrick has put out had been or will ever be better than the cool, t&y, and food and liquor foh and thats coming from a lupe stan ;)
This song has aged so well. First thing I did when I bought my first complete board after almost 20 years was ask my buddy “you still kick-push?” We hit the basketball courts at my nearby junior high and just talked shit and caught up on some flat ground. Amazing song.
As a metal head skater back in around 06 stumbled upon this song skimming thru the channels on t.v, It immediately grew on me and it's at the point when I became immersed with hip hop, and underground. This track is what initiated into the hip hop environment.
When you think about it, this song is a great metaphor for life. 🤔 You "kick" at life when it puts heavy obstacles in your way, since legs are the largest muscle groups within the human body. If you are in a leadership role, at times you will "push" your personal wants & desires to the side in order for the greater good, i.e., caring for your family & community as a whole. During the moments when life is smooth & chill, you are able to "coast" and enjoy the feeling of a cool breeze on your face. Lupe Fiasco, the poet... Dope! 💯.
2023 still gives me a supernatural vibe I love the beat and horns Soo much everything is amazing about this legendary track I love you Lupe Fiasco bro this song gave me a better spirit ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
it's weird being 26 and looking back on THIS era of hip hop and going "damn this shit came out when i was in high school." its been almost 10 years since i graduated.................................. wut.

I feel like if you take any Lupe song at face value you're not really trying hard enough.
You could also associate the "dream-like" life of living free to drug addiction and selling drugs.
Could be that the boy Lupe talks about it a kid who fell into drugs early on in his life and later met a chick who was addicted too.

Dope, still dope in 2022-23 !!!
Agreeing 🛹
Yessir
Still dope in Jan 2024 🔥
Legendary
For real. Absolute Legend 💯
It's 2023, and I came back here for nostalgia. Lupe Fiasco, is real hip hop. He lets the bars and music, speak for itself. Real legend! ❤
When I was a little kid I was terrified of riding a skateboard and didn't want to learn how to.
But this was my favorite song and I would always imagine some guy skating till night fall on the streets of my hometown because he loved it so much.
Didn't know that dude that I imagined was me after all these years. It's just so crazy and surreal.
Curious of your age now?
truffl3huffl3 I’m curious now too lol 😂
The song is about selling drugs bud.
The song is not all about selling drugs, why would they show people skate boarding. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Bud
Definitely a fucking classic I absolutely love this song....this song speaks to my heart
now this is what i call nostalgia
Fiasco claimed that the label traveled to the Philippines to find the artist whose song “Kick, Push” samples - singer Celeste Legaspi’s “Bolero Medley” - and purchase the rights to the song.
“They flew down to the Philippines…and bought the entire record from her,” he said. “They actually own the song that ‘Kick, Push’ is sampled from.”🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Yeah but they did it to spite him because they didn't have any input on the song at that point
@@versatilethearcane Input in other words.. No investment.. No publishing and the song was doing so well without a label push
Facts !!! i'm from the philippines
WHO GIVES AF
Not shocked
47yrs old, n still I ride !!!
Keep ska8n
Tony Hawk, is that you?
Skating can be enjoyed by most ages both genders and all races
Thats dope, im trying trying to get into skating but im 15 and broke ass hell and i only got the board rn but no money for trucks bearing wheels etc
@@AleSalazar27 steal one lol
alejandro s if your in he metro Detroit area I’ll give you trucks
“The freedom was better than breathing they said.” Words we should hold dear, especially in this world where our freedoms are being taken away.
I remember this!! growing up in 2000s aint nothing like it
Why haven’t I heard this before THAT’S FIRE
Congratulations.
I envy you
Thank you guys lol
You lucky
You gotta be a 2000 baby.
Lupe as good as Kendrick, only one of them got buried by a label for conscious rap.
M. L. That’s because Kendrick is a fraud he do just enough to make y’all think he on some conscious shit
@@illsmacku7553 you a simp ass nigga for thinking that.
Lupe will always be better than Kendrick
@Matija Kovačević idgaf where its coming from thats your opinion nothing Kendrick has put out had been or will ever be better than the cool, t&y, and food and liquor foh and thats coming from a lupe stan ;)
@Matija Kovačević now foh im not even listening to hip hop at the moment im in my oldies bag rn
They just dont make music like this anymore..The world has changed , I miss the old days bro
Facts man life was so simple back then
I feel you, never know what you have til it’s gone
bro it was never that good
This song has aged so well.
First thing I did when I bought my first complete board after almost 20 years was ask my buddy “you still kick-push?”
We hit the basketball courts at my nearby junior high and just talked shit and caught up on some flat ground. Amazing song.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
For my personal taste, this is one of the best songs of all time
lupe has that swag style many lack..he sounds normal..
Arguably a top 10 rap song of all time in my opinion.
OM S can i degrade but be ok im scared to death, went back to family slavery, european, volunteer inmate/dude come on...
This is a really dope song indeed. One of my fave beats.
I absolutely love this song
Back when they played music not reality TV shows on MTV
They definitely played reality shows by then lol
This beat is life.
Word...That bass line.

As a metal head skater back in around 06 stumbled upon this song skimming thru the channels on t.v, It immediately grew on me and it's at the point when I became immersed with hip hop, and underground. This track is what initiated into the hip hop environment.
juarez122191 Lu is the best lyricist in the game.
@@Treetops27 no
Shout out to the Philippines for the music sample🤙
This sound never dies!!! Too Exclusive ❤❤❤
It's crazy how active this comment section is...
Your Mistake still here brother
🤣🤣
I respect tf outta anyone here in the comments, this song is a classic
LUPE A LEGEND, ANY ALBUM KIND MOVIE BEFORE KENDRICK DO IT.. NO HATE, JUST SAYING...
This is a timeless classic that puts us at ease in a time of sheer chaos..
When you think about it, this song is a great metaphor for life. 🤔 You "kick" at life when it puts heavy obstacles in your way, since legs are the largest muscle groups within the human body. If you are in a leadership role, at times you will "push" your personal wants & desires to the side in order for the greater good, i.e., caring for your family & community as a whole. During the moments when life is smooth & chill, you are able to "coast" and enjoy the feeling of a cool breeze on your face.
Lupe Fiasco, the poet... Dope! 💯.
I'm going to revive boom bap and create amazing music for older generation and younger generations to come together,

Same
Yep :P It was one hell of a lot better back then if you ask me
jenner6710 i agree ten thousand percent.
Ignorance is bliss
Yet wisdom is necessary
This will never get old. The swing is true. No foulness either.
