Wow, I can’t believe this album is 20 years old now. I remember listening to Kick Push like it was yesterday. This album always inspired me growing up as a teenager.

I know right? 20 years and I still listen to it and it still sounds so good!

What your favourite songs from it

I believe Lupe's lyrics are so superior that only when Kendrick came into the game did I see someone else giving me the same emotions, thoughts and reflections that Lupe gave me. My fav song ever by Lupe is The Coolest. Loved this article!!

As someone that ❤️’d and studied Lupe’s work growing up - I thoroughly enjoyed reading this - you hit so many notes. I had the same reaction hearing him on Touch the Sky (also, a soundtrack to parts of my life). It’s a shame he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. Thanks for writing this!

Thank you so much for reading and definitely agree on him not getting the recognition he deserves! His discography is still one of my favorites!
