Yeah sorry I don’t need charts to tell me how big a song was when I was alive and in school for myself to see it you should try gathering more anecdotal evidence

This nigga like 13 tryna argue wit us about s*** we saw wit s*** he found on Google lmao

Again. That means nothing. Literally thousands of schools exists. Yo I went to one. Your math teacher wasn’t the best at math lol.

Y’all trying to recreate narratives. Kick Push wasn’t a hit record and that’s fine

You don't even got to be a fan of hip-hop to have heard and f***ed with that song.

Mfs could just play some Tony Hawk, NBA Live or Need For Speed game and it would come on the soundtrack.

These folks trippin.

did you get that from Wikipedia? And if so when was the last time his ria certification was updated ? Some of this s*** barely be updated . Could may have gone platinum by now . Until you show me on ria website the certifications and dates then you don’t know how big Lupe was .

That’s different than us as kids (a decade ago) in this thread nationwide remembering that that song was big without us being rap forum visitors

You’re the only one needing to go to Google in the first place to qualify why you say it wasn’t and only when you compare it to the nigga who came in the game with Dr Dre and Beats commercials lol

Before I continue how old were you in 2006

It wasn’t big. I was one of them kids idiot. I’m 30 lol. Y’all just dense. The song wasn’t and isn’t Big. It’s a cult hit for an artist that doesn’t have much popular songs.

i was 16 and i knew of the song but it wasnt huge

Nigga I’m a 30 year old pharmacist. Lol. I was in the 11th grade. I’m not dumb. Wayne has hits in 2006. Not no f***ing Lupe fiasco.

why are yall arguing over if songs are hits anyway. who gives a s*** about hits. hits are usually commerical, generic s*** anyway. as long as the music is good, thats all that matters

how are you on a hiphop forum and believe wholeheartedly kick push wasn’t a hit.

This stemmed from somebody saying Lupe wasn’t popping then they turned it about one song

I mean he is but so is Lupe in this situation lol he always looks for an excuse to compare himself to Kendrick or voice that he's better than him

Becaue wer are discussing this narrative that Lupe was about to blow and he had all this mainstream potential that was stifled. When it reality his songs weren’t huge

Some people have different terms on what a hit is

In the context of this convo about Lupe mainstream potential it wasn’t a hit.

It didn’t bolster his career in the mainstream like superstar or shows goes on did.

It's the reason we all gave a f*** about him. Not the Kanye song or Superstar. The infatuation with Lupe was the skateboard song

Kendrick need to earn his stripes

Lmao at kick push not being a hit bc Wayne is f***ing Wayne

Lmao

Show goes on wasn't a hit?

Felt like I heard it everywhere. That and superatar feel more like hits than kick push to me at least

got it. ya i dont know about mainstream potential, but if jayz wouldve stuck with lupe instead of leaving to start his own label, there's no doubt things wouldve been different. who knows if he wouldve been as big as kendrick, but kendrick wouldnt be that big if it werent for the dr. dre cosign as well

Yes I understand that but that doesn’t mean he was about to blow. He had songs bigger than that after. Which is my point. His potential on the mainstream level have been overstated.
