Finally someone's rapp'n' 'bout skat'n'. Lupe Fiasco (his father was a prolific African drummer, & his mother was a gourmet chef!) bridges the skateboard and hip-hop cultures in his new track Kick, Push:

He couldn't understand it, branded
Since the first kick flip he landed
Uh, labeled a misfit a bandit
Ka-kunk, ka-kunk, ka-kunk
His neighbors couldn't stand it
Soooo, he was banished to the park
Started in the morning wouldn't stop 'til after dark
Yeah, when they said it's gettin' late in here
So I'm sorry young man, there's no skatin' here

I like it. But the boys in blue love it... it's like a 2-for-1 sale at Harassments R Us.

Oh yeah, and SK8 or Die!
