Lupe Fiasco - Kick Push (Video) (Album Version)

[guccamain]

how is this song about drug i mean i can see how people could see that but he first got it when he was six.... how is that drugs

[V3RS4TYLEas3V3R]

So today me and some friends are in best buy lookin at music and we show one of the guys the Food and Liquor album.

He asks "who's lupe?"

Me: -_____-..............

I not only bout him Food and Liquor but also The Cool. I'm proud to say he's now a fellow fan.

[MartynReave]

hey guys, i doubt anyone cares but i have nothing to lose by trying. yes, i know its generic as everyone on youtube is asking to check out their rap channel, but if you have a few minutes to spare wether you wanna legitimately check out my music or visit my page to laugh at how bad you assume i am, it would be much appreciated if you checked my shit out. thanks

[btkkilla1]

If you love real hip hop like this then you will love this artist from queens ny..on the come up..needs heavy support from you guys..please give this artist a chance like you gave Lupe Fiasco a chance for his music to be heard..just search lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice

[nikeSB381]

although this song is is about skateboarding, the message is for everyone. if you find something you love and are good at, pursue it. no matter what anyone says. skateboarding just happens to be the most hated thing these days, but i skate, and honestly its not the easiest thing, id like to see someone who trash talks skating even try to stand on one.

[SbMick]

Billy Cundiff's new theme song

[kruxy]

[Gerald45]

NBA LIVE 07 ~

[9nezz2]

@Gerald45 hell yea !

[baked4211]

this song gave a shit ton of pussy to skateboarders

[jglover9911]

who produced this fire

?????

[hahaitsaustin]

You know most people don't realize this song is about selling drugs and the dealers behind him in the background?

He "pushes bricks", "on the grind", starts out with small "tricks" or "deals", but he got caught by the cops "skating" in public, and later moved onto bigger and better drugs and met some chick that loved for his money, and all that shit.

yup. totally what its about.

[JUDTJ]

@hahaitsaustin or maybe its about skating and its not so deep..

[justinbishop3]

@hahaitsaustin Thats what she said

[spadesk9]

@hahaitsaustin it's called a paradox. it does not have just one meaning.

[plutobbk]

@spadesk9 thats not a paradox you fucking retard

[steveeeeboi]

@spadesk9

Uhhhh what, that's not what a paradox is. A paradox is when something is conflicting within itself. Kind of like saying "Everything I say is a lie" if everything i said is a lie then im telling the the truth which completely contradicts what i just said.

[nikesonmyfeet43]

@hahaitsaustin Your so fucking retarded

[missyhancock]

@hahaitsaustin no actually if you listen to the song it's about how he could have sold drugs but instead chose better things but it's music and you have every right to take whatever you want to take out of it but it's only YOUR perception.......great song though.

[Rembobotom]

@missyhancock because he totally wasn't joking.

[thecrazyshowshow]

@hahaitsaustin yup ok well what about the beginning of the song? I've heard this explanation before. I think this is no doubt about skating. I do agree some of the words do sound like selling drugs but almost ever word is about skating just a few are similar to selling drugs. Don't over analyze things just enjoy the song and lyrics. Its about skateboarding lol

[bzup9mm]

@hahaitsaustin Good imagination but lupe fiasco never stated that it was about what you just said. Therefor the song can be perceived in many distinctive-ways.I just believe its a very-deep story of chasing ones dreams, doing what makes you happy while Lupe's excellent story-telling skills with his metaphors allow us to compare it to many situation, in your case drug-dealing. And by the way, the songs lyrics match what you think just as much as they dont. Listen. Just an opinion.

[SxeBenji181]

@hahaitsaustin it has a few different meaning's like alot of his song's, that what make's him such a good artist.

[hawrify]

@hahaitsaustin no shit captain obvious

[DRAWSOME991]

@hahaitsaustin it does sound like that but i think his trying to say u dont need drugs cuz the lyrics sound like his homies are doin drugs at 3:13 but itz like they just skateboard as a way to escape and to be free

[JUDTJ]

I love this. <3

[biscuitdoughboy25]

I FUCKIN LOVE THIS SONG AND THAT WATCH HE HAD ON IS FRESH AS HELL SOMEBODY PLEASE GIVE ME A LINK TO IT OR SOMETHING IF U HAVE IT

[kevincap13]

i remember when lupe fiasco came out. i was like 12-15 somewhere around there and i thought he was another trash talking rapper with no good beats. Now look at me he is basically the only reason i say that i listen to rap.

[TheJcomonkey]

my comments never get liked :(

[XxxDemiGodxxX1]

@TheJcomonkey nope but they get disliked =P

[SpaceJamVision]

this is a good song .

[ItssBauerr]

this is the lupe fiasco i like..

[btkkilla1]

Rap artist from queens ny..on the come up..needs heavy support from you guys..please give this artist a chance like you gave Lupe Fiasco a chance for his music to be heard..just search lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice

[supernesschris]

this is the theme song of my life idk what i would do without my skateboard

[xForgeHouse]

@supernesschris its good to hear tht ur happy with ur board man but this song isnt bout skateboarding, its bout being critizized for whatever u like to do

[Helptheherd]

ron paul sucks- taking our troops out of foreign countries is like committing suicide- his ideas are more than stupid

[21gunn3k]

[AllDimensionalFilms]

[theBeginnerSun]

i used to bang this shit every morning at the bus stop in 9th grade. made me the cool dude i am today. thanks Lupe!

[BR4Nkind]

type in "KINDALOUD GLASS JARS"

[lakker56]

think about it, 2 years before this album dropped he said he hated rap

[mscalicat]

he looks so young in this song :p

[jeffplaysska]

I was wondering who this was because I do remember seeing it on mtv like at 4 am when they were still playing music

[PowerSprinter]

Note to Lupe today: See how basic your rhyme scheme is here, how basic the whole song is. Sure the concept is has a deeper meaning, but its rather straight forward even in its depth. Not how the beat is organic and basic also. Lupe please do music like this again, dont be so focused on being perceived as an unpredictable lyrical, politically charged, controversial machine. Stop trying to live up to that, Friends of the People sucked, this is Lupe. Relatable

[SL4VE0WNER1904619]

@PowerSprinter its lupes label...they wouldnt let him produce the music he wanted they wanted it more mainstream thats why it took forever for lasers to come out there was a dispute

[RetroKimmie]

Heard this in Teenage Paparazzo :)

[LaAwesome121]

Im not a skater see, Im just a rebel without a cause or a place to be.

[kevincap13]

My life in this song is up to the part where he meets his girlfriend. And yep she does carry her own weight:) song is about life not skateboarding

[RiptheKidd]

If you like lupe check me out, he's one of my inspirations,

I'm different than most rappers, give me a shot,

I just want to be heard, this song helps me see not to give up

Whether its music or whether its skateboarding, I keep at it..

times are hard and I'm trying to do something about it,

so just click my channel and THUMBS this UP for others to see

you won't be disappointed..

Appreciate it

[CoOkICrUmZ]

@RiptheKidd nice stuff, there needs to be more positive rappers like you in the game

[GeddoLee]

Not a big fan of rap/ hip hop but hes good.

[TheSaturn001]

[MrGOOZ3]

"You niggaz faker than Lupe Fiasco claiming he skateboards, ya right that nigga can't even ollie, push him away on the dolly, not even satan can stop me."

[MrGOOZ3]

@MrGOOZ3 i like lupe though 

[OhGeeKevlar]

@MrGOOZ3 gotta love hopsin. Lupe still spits raw though.

[Dboy4100X3]

@MrGOOZ3

Lupe never claimed he was a skateboarder

[MeurtierDee]

@MrGOOZ3 The song is about rejection & being criticized for doing what you love. Not about skateboarding.

[x0hTee]

@MeurtierDee not necessary true. lupe is a known fan of skateboarding. he kinda applies it to both.

[vbplayar]

@MeurtierDee Ha ... don't make it deeper than it needs to be ... the song really translates the love for skateboarding. Most of the beginning and some of the middle gets deep into the love of the board. Hell, he dedicates the song at the beginning to all those out there grinding. Songs don't need to have this special underlying meaning ... it could just mean he loves and respects boarding ...

[MeurtierDee]

@vbplayar Heh, Whatever you want to believe bud. I'm not saying you are 100% incorrect. He clearly speaks passionately about skating. However Lupe himself has confirmed the song isn't about skating per se. If you listen to the song clearly he is in love with skating (in the song) and is constantly told "not here". i.e. what I said in my previous comment.

[251to502]

@MeurtierDee That is absolutely right. The reference to skateboarding was just a metaphor for what you just said.

[JusTxVitaLxIcoNz]

It's about grinding "legally" and "illegally".

[salsacycler37]

@jerkavonful ... agreed. You have it right, its not about the act of skateboarding, its something much more meaningful. Lupe is an artist who incorporates quality content into his work, and that is why he's so good.

[SASS071]

this song pumps me up to skate

[y0Nick]

love skating my longboard going fast as fuck feeling light and ready to fly while listening to this first thing in morning after i wake and bake.

[GriMUnited]

ohhh damn he can ollie

[kissmyassbitch01]

after i heard this i thaugt i could skate

[TheErdunk]

This the best song ever and if you don't like it u mad that u ain't LUPE FIASCO!

[gearteen2390]

Outkast were it is at man.

[jerkavonful]

many narrow minded niggas will miss lupe on this , cuse they deaf , dumb an blind. kick push , hes saying its a concept of life it self , we kick to mke a movement an carry or selves along by the push .like skate bording. maaaaan u going over niggs heads lupe / to brainwashed 2understand u / but sallaam my bro the knowlege seekers still do. rock on young muslim

[MegaTimebomb098]

All-you-niggas-is-faker-than-l­upe-fiasco-claiming-he-skatebo­ards,Yeah right, that nigga can't even ollie -hopsin

[BabyVlogXoxo]

I skate! fuck tricking tho

[jazzefingers]

we all know he is getting jerked by his label, but that is the price that the artists have to pay if they are not independent….lupe needs to start his own label and put out fire after fire! Either way I will support him cuz that guy almost committed suicide putting out the newest album…hes gotta play the game for now… look up this group “INRG - TAKE A PICTURE” I been listenin too….another real hip hop if you ask me!

[leinadelgnairt]

Lupe Fiasco cant even ollie - Hopsin

[SnSGaMiNg69]

[Ymeedom]

108 people dont know how to skate

[The12Jacob]

You guys do know this song isn't mainly about skateboarding right? Lupe's lyrics going over your head!

[ELWINR1]

@The12Jacob then what is the song about then because i really want to know

[The12Jacob]

@ELWINR1 It's about drugs and hustling in the streets look up the lyrics on Rapgenius and you'll understand it better.

[zInFaMouSxKiNgz]

@The12Jacob So true people are so dum its kinda sad really.

[dazeguy513]

@The12Jacob I KNOW HE TALKING ABOUT DRUGS

[OffTheGlass87]

@The12Jacob

what is it about. 

[DominatingNA]

@The12Jacob Yeah, a few sentences referenced other things (such as a short reference to marijuana) but other than that, this song is honestly just skating.

Go ahead and contrive eccentric explanations on how "kick, push, coast" describes something deeper than skating. Sorry, but you're over-analyzing these lyrics.

[bone595]

The 107 dislikes are the people who ran in the house cryin with lispz

[JasmineThunshae]

loveeee lupeeee

[ironMAYYNE]

I clicked on lupe... not B.o.B.

[xX4NG3Lx0VxD34THXx]

Skating isnt a sport, its an art

[TjtheTrapper]

There's a place in New York on 47th st or something like that where the top beat makers in the world convene and make beats that make you laugh cry etc. It's a crazy spot. It's the place these guys go to sip and smoking is allowed inside. In that place, everyone can play the piano and all races are welcome as long as they were born to make music. Ski Beatz knows the spot. Rappers go there too. Anyway, if you stick around, you'll notice that the best guys leave after a while for Chicago.

[ManMainer]

shit i remember when this was brand spankin new. damn time flies

[blazed101]

one of the best MC's of the generation noticed I said MC not rapper

[PR1me1llusions]
