This video has me crazy nostalgic. I was like eleven and me a my crew used to go down to Grant’s Tomb. All the real skaters know!
April 1st, 2006 at 4:07 pm
But a grown man?
April 1st, 2006 at 4:11 pm

I thought there could have been some more skatin in it, but man this is definitely on some nostalgic shit right here
April 1st, 2006 at 4:12 pm
that shits aiight. i aint mad @ fiasco…aint my thing, but i aint mad…
April 1st, 2006 at 4:12 pm
…kinda refreshing
April 1st, 2006 at 4:15 pm
Not everybody will relate to it, but what’s important is that someone is finally rapping about something different. Ish is gettnig so repetitive in the mainstream.
April 1st, 2006 at 4:20 pm
true indeed. hence the word “refreshing”.
April 1st, 2006 at 4:25 pm
lmfao
April 1st, 2006 at 4:33 pm
When I first heard the title, I thought it was another dance/club song.
April 1st, 2006 at 4:51 pm
my first setup: vision psycho stic, ventures, powell crossbones. those were the days………..
i love the song. going on the next mixtape

April 1st, 2006 at 10:11 pm
that was dope. very refreshing and hot too.
April 1st, 2006 at 11:24 pm
Eskay me & you are likethis. I use to skate a little bit back in high school too.
Lupe is dope, and like Adam22 said, he is refreshing. Perfect road trip song.
April 2nd, 2006 at 12:09 am
so much for skateboard p…
damn lupe fiasco made a song abotu skateboarding… hes gonna kill the industry, hell have hip hop heads and skaters bumping his shit… something pharrell is losing his grip on
it wasnt to clear on my computer, but is he doign any skating? or is he just talkign about it
he sorta looks like an intertwined cassidy and unkasa intertwined
“watchu think im some 4-eyed fool!?!”
April 2nd, 2006 at 12:10 am
you know what eskay….puttin tru life was a good touch. i just thought about it… that was the “coupe de gracie”….it would make a ill dis track cuz tru life keeps it waaaay gully. cam’s career would be “smashed to bits on the rocks below”….but on the real, i fucks wit dipset music…imma heatmakers fan yo. they sound is so eastcoast crunk. they got a real big sound….i’d miss that if dipset was dismantled
April 2nd, 2006 at 12:13 am
That was jive tight. I used to skate too but that was way way back.
“…married to these aerials and varials…” Hahaha.
April 2nd, 2006 at 12:14 am
^oops…wrong spot…juxtapose this to the “april fools joke”…psa *drinking impairs your judgement kiddies*
April 2nd, 2006 at 12:29 am
pharell lost it cause he went commercial on them skaters, and skating is an underground world… Lupe’s nice on the track 06 rookie of the year, sorry papoose… this videos tight, and the tracks hot, even though i been bumping it for a while, it still feels brand new everytime i hear it…
April 2nd, 2006 at 12:37 am
pharrell lost it because hes now the ice cream man
wtv… in other news, im i 4 years late or is this funny:

April 2nd, 2006 at 12:47 am
Pharell the ice cream man?
*imagines*
*over the ice cream theme song*
“You see these ice pops? See these ice cream?”
*is very high!*
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:00 am
I like Lupe
makes Kanye sound like Lupe after he got hit in the head with a bottle like David Mays…………..word busta!
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:07 am
guys.. sidenote… wtf is 50 cent thinking when he makes songs like best friend? like honestly, stan business aside, like wasnt his premise of beating on ja cuz he was singing with ashanti… wtf are him and oliver doing… wtv i find 50s a great rnb singer, liek i love his songs… but he isnt a g
“when u bubble bath, i can wash your back” ???
fuckign marketing
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:07 am
Juelz DIP DIP Santana SET SET
this kat’s looks remind me of choclair, and as for his raping skill, meh hes aiite.
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:16 am
nation of thugacation
Its cuz 50 is what i would call a hipocrite. He talks about niggas doin somethin and calls it gay or wack, then he goes and does it himself. Plus he just wanted publicity, cuz we all remember how mainstream Ja was, and Ja was a easy target to get at.
April 2nd, 2006 at 2:30 am
LUPEEEEEEEE. It’s cool to rap about something besides the same ol’ same ol’. Hopefully it will get the same burn as the other side of hip hop (drugs, violence, women, etc.)
April 2nd, 2006 at 6:51 am
he’s dope.. i didnt watch the video but I like the fact that he’s not the cookie cutter artist that we have become acustom to.
April 2nd, 2006 at 7:18 am
what is the name of that track he did where he rhymes in two different perspectives about the same thing back to back? i think from a backpacker point of view as well as from the commercial, label owned, artist point of view. i think it may have been over a gorillaz beat.
I am sure eskay knows what I am talking about. anyone?
the word everyone keeps saying is refreshing which I can’t agree more with. this is the kind of song I can see myself listening to for years….just like that song “I used to sell…..mixtapes……but now im an emceeeeeeeeeee” by the nonce. I hope peeps buy this shit so we can encourage grown men to speak on things other then beef, death, how many drugs I got, how many diamonds, you know the rest.
I gotta give a shout to eskay for putting this up. I had it on repeat for a while. showed it to my boys and they had it on repeat too. took me back to that 94 95 vibe. im waiting for the large pro remix.
April 2nd, 2006 at 9:08 am
Avril Lavigne rap COOL!!! He should have just sampled skater boy!!!! Its the closest thing to real hip hop I’ve seen in a long time because its some rhyming dude doing him so thats cool but shit that skate board shit is gay.. niggas I knew didn’t have that shit as youngins we stole bikes from the burbs…. but the fake tuff kids always had them shits and those was always the dudes gettin punked fa they cookies who played double dutch with the bitches!!!
The shit gay but I respect the movement!!! but hell eskay pull the skate board out at 30 and ride that shit through the hood!!
April 2nd, 2006 at 10:38 am
ok if this site is still alive… i just wanna no…
how did everyone stumble onto this site?
>google.com
April 2nd, 2006 at 11:39 am
how is this guy
April 2nd, 2006 at 11:45 am
ive been hearing how nice thsi dude is but havent heard much but i defintitly fuck with this song. i;m no skater by any means ( no hating got love for anything that takes talent ) but i just think its real hot this dude has the balls and indivuality to make one of his first big videos about skateboarding, the songs hot and i dont think we have worry about him switching up all fake gangsta on us this type of dude is really something hip-hop needs
April 2nd, 2006 at 11:46 am
The Revenge of the Nerds mixtape, the whole 1/15th mixtapes are all dope…check ‘em, somethin new for change.
April 2nd, 2006 at 12:18 pm
The song where he raps form multiple perspectives is called: “Switch” is on a midwest invasion mixtape.
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:38 pm
@ green eyed bandit
You can peep his Guerillas mixtape (A Rhyming Ape) @ Datpiff dot com.
@ Es
Ok, ok… you definitely made up for that April Fool’s Dips diss with this one. So now I won’t have to tackle you in the streets when I see you, lol. But on the real, Lupe to me is what Pap is to yall. Personally, I think Pap would have to share the Rookie of the Year award with Lupe (like Steve Francis had to do with that other dude). The kid is SICK. His mixtapes are available on line and he’s definitely the leader of the hip hop skateboard movement. Pharrell must now pass the torch and just become his mentor more than a competitor. As a matter of fact, Lup’ got a song produced by Pharrell called “… And He Gets the Girl”, over a rock beat. The Kid’s perspective on life comes from a thousand angles. A Black skateboarding nerd who was raised in the hood: that’s a lot to talk about. And that also proves that just because you were raised in the hood doesn’t mean you have to become a product of your environment. Yet, he didn’t abandon his people and embraced it because it made him who he is today.
All I got to say is watch out for this guy. This year belongs to Lupe AND Papoose.
@ Ty Biggs
Yo, I’m tellin’ you… a song with those two on it? RI-DIC-U-LOUS, chief!
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:39 pm
@ Ty Biggs
That joint Jason is talkn’ about is the one I was tellin’ you about last week.
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:41 pm
(I’m starting to sound like this guy’s promoter)
And that joint he did over Kanye’s “Jesus Walks” titled “Mohammed Walks” (The Ahk-A-Fella Version) is dope. He talks about religion from a Muslim perspective.
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:47 pm
o shit i was just thinking how great it would be a track with lupe and buddens and damned if i didnt find one im downloading it now ill be back in a minute
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:51 pm
Word, where at? @ Ty Biggs
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:52 pm
ok i cant lie i was disappointed in the track the is some bullshit r&b group tha rayne on it and neithe one of them real comes with it, damn thats not what i was looking for from them
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:53 pm
i found it on limewire
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:55 pm
If that’s the case, the fuck it @ Ty Biggs. Lup’, Pap, and Joe on a song together… when that does actually happen (it will, trust me… I’m a hip hop psychic lol), that will shut the industry down!
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:55 pm
*then fuck it* correction
April 2nd, 2006 at 7:14 pm
Hey something different. Perhaps hiphop aint dead after all…
April 2nd, 2006 at 7:26 pm
fnf up!
April 2nd, 2006 at 7:26 pm
fuck yea d.billz that would be whatsup. these dudes could take the fuck over
April 2nd, 2006 at 8:16 pm
This video is very refreshing considering the garbage that we are exposed to today i hope he just keeps making good music and hopefully sets the trend with other young emcees
April 2nd, 2006 at 8:59 pm
thanks for the info D.Billz, jason
April 2nd, 2006 at 11:07 pm
wow, that was boring. Didn’t Kanye teach him anything?
April 3rd, 2006 at 11:33 am
This video/beat/rhymes took me back!!! I was zone coasting like L.O.N.S.
April 3rd, 2006 at 2:39 pm
I like the shyt………..Shyt is sooo Different than everything out there…….
This shyt took me back to wen i was a little kid in Queenz…….Skating in da park……I’ll look out for his album!!!….Cause if all his tracks sound like this song…..Shyt should be great!
April 4th, 2006 at 9:37 am
This sh*t is hot…ya’ll got to listen to the lyrics and the meaning to this song, for real!
April 4th, 2006 at 10:24 am
This dude is the truth!! The farenheiht mixtape series is classic.
April 4th, 2006 at 11:11 am
At least the guy isn’t affraid of doing something different ya know? Hell, he’s got flow, better than nearly 80% of the guys you been hearing fr the past 2 years.
April 4th, 2006 at 4:10 pm
real niggas who like real hip hop can appreciate this because its different which should be the norm. why does everything have to be about the streets, when it comes to rapping? Thats why I like this site, cause a lot of niggas on here know true hip hop. White people got all kind of music, we only got two rap and r&b which eventually turns into pop. We got blues and jazz and gospel but as far as mainstream music, why music companies want everybody to sound the same. But there is only room for one talib, one common. But there are a thousand D4L’s hundreds of nelly’s but nooo, that is alright with them. Its pitiful son. one luv
April 4th, 2006 at 4:17 pm
“Little known fact: eskay used to be a skater. ”
Es, once a skater always a skater , kid….Shit is a frame of mind not just steppin’ on a board, you know what I mean…you still got it kid…LOL!!!
April 10th, 2006 at 8:32 pm
THIS TRACK IS TIGHT… SOME THE ONLY REAL HIP HOP I’VE SEEN ON BET IN 8000 YEARS.
ANYONE ELSE WHO THINKS DIFFERENLY NEEDS TO GET THAT Q-TIP OUT OF YOUR ASS… SLUT.
April 11th, 2006 at 1:13 am
This is hot, glad to hear something fresh. This dude caught my ear on that Kanye track with that Thundercats reference. I think I’ll go snatch up that mixtape. And is it me or is there an overall metaphor that he’s kicking around in there? I’ll have to give it another listen.
Lotta misconceptions about skating. I’m a grown man and I still drive around with my board in my trunk. Haven’t used it in over a year, but you never know when you gonna get the right vibe. True story: I skated to a local bar once, walked up to the bar with the board in hand and pulled a chick; largely due to corny dudes openly hating on me (“you like that shit? that skateboarding shit?”), thereby drawng attention to me.

this song is the shit… usually not my style of music but its so chill and refreshing. makes me appreciate (good) hip-hop! the whole food & liquor album is amazing.
April 4th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
