      @@Zxlxya You can't overrate someone who revolutionised the art of rhyming. 99% of the people you love wouldn't exist without him. This is a fact, not an opinion.
      Now you can say you don't like his style, you may not even like his music. But to call someone overrated without knowing their importance, is stupidity on a level that can't be explained.
      Rap has changed and will continue to do so. There was a time when it was ever evolving and now its become rather stagnant. No one is trying to take it further. However over 35 years ago, Rakim did just that. He changed the way people would rhyme forever. Its his template that was used to develop the artform. So like him or not, you can't deny his essential contribution to Hip-Hop.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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! 💯.

    And if you look here, you will see that this is proof that hip-hop isn't completely dead.

    “The freedom was better than breathing they said.” Words we should hold dear, especially in this world where our freedoms are being taken away.
