Finally figured out the deeper meaning to the lyricism of Kick Push II. Like, the words on the surface are simple enough, but some of the transitions and such you might not even see the meaning of.

In "Play Ball" by Soulja Boy ft. Drake, Soulja Boy claims to be the greatest rapper alive or some shit like that.... That is so, so, so, so, so, so, so, .... so, so, so far from the truth, but in the time we live in, he's actually not the worst. :smh:

Serj Tankian comes out with a new album called Imperfect Harmonies, due out September 7.

Love Serj.

"Shot to the Heart" (remix) by Rick Ross ft. Lil Wayne samples "What About Love" by Heart, not "Shot through the Heart" by Bon Jovi... Isn't that strange?

I have a negative outlook on anything Massachusetts... Who the fuck is this Sam Adams kid? Whoever he is, he can't touch Samuel Jackson.

But, really, who is he? Eminem without the anger?

 

[hoodyallen]

Sam Adams is pretty bad, he's better then Miike Snow though.

Still the only mixtape I can listen to from the first track to the last.

In the 2009 season of Scrubs, I like how JD punks Sean after all those episodes of Sean saying "I don't consider you a threat."

Also, 'wiener cousins' isn't the appropriate term for guys who have fucked the same chick. As far as I know... We call it "Eskimo Brothers."

...Care to share then?

Isn't it weird when you forget about old music you used to listen to, and then spend a whole day listening to old shit? Weird and awesome.

Thoughts on Donnis? I'm going to give him a listen now after a suggestion from a friend.

...Care to share then?

Like some shit you don't think makes grammatical sense does. It's just like... almost psychedelic. Lupe's just so damned talented.

"And see his girl was a white girl/but just cause she was white, see her life wasn't light world/She too had the drama thick/Had a daddy and a mama but her daddy used to mama hit/Daddy caught something chasing fatties/Made her mama sick/Couldn't afford the medicine, pimped her to the pharmacist/As suicidal feelings would rise/Switch over, transitions help her conquer it"

When he says the bold, we realize that these aren't merely lyrics, but a dream/thought sequence in our female protagonist's mind.

She's going over the other shit in her head, thinking about her life, as Lupe's explaining it to us.

He says "Switch over, transitions help her conquer it." She's coming out of her mental zone and going back to skating. This is all going through her mind as she's skating. The switch over is the physical action that Lupe's announcing... that's not in her head. That's happening. "Transitions help her conquer it" is a further announcement, it's an explanation of why she's 'switching-over'.

And this is all to help her deal with the aforementioned problems in her life.

It's literately fascinating to me.

"A traveling band of misfits and outcasts/Nod they heads from Misfits to Outkast"

He calls them misfits and outcasts, and then references a punk band a rap group. Perhaps he is alluding to his own work with Japanese Cartoon, in addition to the diversity of the group.

"A lot o scars they did this without pads/A lot o hearts who did this without dads."

Another seamless transition. He goes from talking about skating to talking about life. How these kids have gone through life without a father figure, without someone to raise them. From the recreational (skating) to shit that he references at the beginning (like getting money to provide for the family).

"One's father was filthy rich, two was middle class, and one was homeless/Add in the paralyzed girl in the wheelchair who just liked to watch and that was the whole clique/I think about em everytime I see this old flick/That was taken in the park in front of this old bench/They wrote on the back 'Thanks for Push, Kick, hope you make a video, the beat is so sick.'"

If it wasn't apparent already, it becomes clear here that he's talking about his friends. This is his upbringing, these are his amigos from the Chi, and that's what Kick, Push, and Kick, Push II are about. 'wrote on the back' is alluding that on the back of one of the skate tapes they made, his friends signed the back of it wishing him luck in his rap career.

"Well, I did. Hope you seen it/It's on MTV, Soundtrakk's a genius/love from Tony Hawk, beef from the Ice Creamers/Before we put it out, had to pay the filapenads (no idea how to spell that)/Just so show em how to kick, push..."

He's talking about how the song came out. "Filapenad" (I don't know how to spell it at all... I don't think I'm even close) is one of those things you can get served by the courts. As I recall, it's like a court summons or some shit. Edit: Figured it out - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpoena

I'd have to assume he'd have to pay fines and shit for filming and skating where they shouldn't have been.

UNLESS, A-Z Lyrics is right and he said Fillapinas, in which case I have no idea what's going on. Like, what the fuck do Fillapinos have to do with this situation.

Anyway, that's what I meant.

This thread doesn't get enough hits... Anyway, the girl fight scene in Undercover Brother has got to be among the funniest in movie history.
