He's better than that. Has anyone here considered the fact that he was skating to escape the drug dealing?

One of the most cerebral and enigmatic artists active since the mid-2000s, is also among the more prominent artists in his field, as proven by Grammy recognition and several gold and platinum certifications. It took the rapper and producer a few years to gain traction, but his name has been well-known since his featured appearance on 's 'Touch the Sky' (2005), a hit single that set him up for success with a career that has entailed seven albums, highlighted by the Top Ten releases (2007), the chart-topping (2011), and (2012). Although specializes in complex narratives and creative metaphorical verses, he hasn't shied away from making singles with pop appeal, including the Top Tens 'Superstar' and 'The Show Goes On.' After a decade of oft-strained relations with major-label Atlantic, gained a newfound level of creative independence during the latter half of the 2010s, heard on the connected and expansive full-lengths (2017) and Drogas Wave (2018).

Although the literal meaning of this song is skateboarding, the actual meaning of the song is rejection, and being criticized for doing what one loves. [ ] On 'The Instrumental', Fiasco addresses addiction to television. 'He Say She Say' deals with the story of a and a child lacking a. 'The Cool' follows the story of a dead gangster who rises from the grave and returns to the hood where he lived and died.

- Lupe Fiasco, on In 2007, Fiasco announced his second album,, a concept album that expands on the story of the track of the same name on his first album. While recording this album, Fiasco's father died of and his business partner, Charles 'Chilly' Patton, was convicted of attempting to supply heroin to a and was eventually sentenced to 44 years in a correctional facility.

“Mean & Vicious” is a perfect example, as Lupe describes his lyrical abilities and manipulation of words as rude. Although Lupe’s Fahrenheit 1st And 15th mixtape series was a bulletproof indicator that the Chicago native would soon join the ranks of other lyrical assassins before him, his later work has taken this idea to new heights, like on “Mural” on Tetsuo and Youth. 'Lamborghini Angels' Album: Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 Year: 2012 Lupe’s Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 went largely unnoticed due to poor promotion, but a few of the songs on the album rest comfortably next to his greatest artistic achievements, like the third single “Lamborghini Angels.” In anticipation of the release of a documentary on the making of the album, Lupe took it upon himself to explain the concept behind the song: “Lamborghini Angels is probably the most aggressive.song on the album. It takes five characters and puts them in these particular situations.” The video for “Lamborghini Angels (ITAL Roses)/Audubon Ballroom,' which shows a child being inundated with materialistic images and the subsequent consequences, is a tour de force all its own.

Using the image of a robot as a representation of the city of Chicago, Lupe paints the picture of an entire people enslaved to the trappings of the ghetto. Like the Roots’ “What They Do,” Lupe also attacks generic rapper-isms with no shortage of humor and bite. As catchy as it is, “Daydreamin’” is a blueprint for many of the themes that would Lupe would repeatedly revisit, such as “ITAL (Roses)” and “Adoration Of The Magi.”. 'Dumb It Down' Album: The Cool Year: 2007 'I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars,' Jay Z famously rapped on 'Moment Of Clarity,' and Lupe is one of those rappers who has long endured criticism for his material for being too intelligent.

Lupe likes to revisit ideas and add captivating twists—like his third verse to “And Then He Gets The Girl”—as well as the entire concept of The Cool album. In “Kick Push II,” the protagonist of the story picks up right where he left off in the original version, only this time he is contending with much more than rude security guards and love at first sight. 'Ghetto Story (Steady Mobbin’)' Album: N/A Year: 2006 Lupe’s “Steady Mobbin'” is much more than some contrived, generic account of the American ghetto. Throughout the song, Lupe rhymes with a stoic demeanor as if the issues he is addressing have made him physically weary, buttressing the entire sentiment tenfold.

Big days for dealers as everyone pays what they owe when they get their check. Or has cash on hand to buy more. Anyway that's my 2 cents. General CommentThis song is great, though he litterally focuses on 'skating' its about much more than that. As he says in his dedication in the beginning ' I dedicate this one right here to all my homies grinding, legally and illegally'. Its about making it in life, the 'hustle' of life.

General CommentI like the way this song and Kick Push (I) complement eachother. While the the other one shows the 'good side' of the skaters' lives, this shows the bad. IT talks about how he doesn't have any money for food, his mom being a crackhead, his girlfriend using skating as a means to pay for her mother's pills and to have someone to share her pain with. The third talks about his friends' financial situations, and as a sort of remembrance for them. Also, I've listened to this song hundreds of times, and JUST NOW realized what the last lines of verse one meant. 'What was on his mind and pushed him to the lid, Their best customer wasn't cookin for a kid' The line's actually '.wasn't cookin' for her kids,' talking about his mom, as a reference to both the earlier line ' He knew they wasn't cookin' where he lived,' and the first line of the second verse 'See, his mom was a crackhead.' Probably blatantly obvious to everyone else, but it had to be said.

Lupe Fiasco Kick Push Ii Lyrics

Fully aware of these sentiments, the Chicago MC released “Dumb It Down” as the first single off The Cool. The song is not only a scathing attack against those critics who want to see Lupe mellow his wit, but a brilliant one as well. Freely employing double- and even triple-entendres, he defiantly makes the claim that he will continue to release thought-provoking material while steering clear of radio garbage. Referencing Star Trek and “The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow,” “Dumb It Down” is definitely one of the greatest uses of wordplay in the history of hip-hop. 'The Cool' Album: Food & Liquor Year: 2006 There are only a handful of rappers that have created tracks as layered and complex as “The Cool” from Lupe’s debut album Food & Liquor. The song is meant to be an aftermath appendage to the story of Michael Young, a character fully chronicled on his second album, The Cool.

Oh and the longer they skate the stronger they become, until there literally isn't any place they can't go. (or metaphorically, there isn't anything that can hold them down). General CommentI think there's more than one meaning to this song. The metaphorical meaning is pretty much what you guys are saying, but the litteral meaning.Obviously it's about skateboarding, but it focuses on skaters in general. People think we're such bad people, but really we're not. We look for places to skate, but time and time again we are kicked off of these places. Skateboarders do not really fit in, just because of the fact we skateboard and stereotypically we're asshole pot heads.

Even though people say they dont want to hear you 'rapping' dont stop, even though you can't be the best at something around some people, doesn't mean you should give up. 'Yea when they said its getting late in here So I’m sorry young man, there’s no skating here' I think this verse represents the hurdles in life, all the problems that try to stop us from movin on, from achieving our goals, being happy, making it. The Chorus says that this kid/those strong enough dont/didn't give up and kept/keep moving on, past the hurdles and problems. Looking for a place to fit in, in a world full of followers. The rest of the song continues along those lines I think.

Do you really want that, do you really have the capacity to do it?' ' In March 2013 Fiasco took to Twitter to announce that he had become the Creative Director at Higi, a scoring system based in the Chicago area that helps you to discover more about yourself so you can look, live and feel better.

It was propelled by 'The Show Must Go On' (which went Top Ten on the Hot 100) and 'Out of My Head' (number 40 Hot 100; number 11 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop).
