There are definately ties to both. If you're a fan you understand that Lupe grew up with drugs and crime all around him. People he knew went to prison "chasing the cool" and he decided not to fall into that trap. He's better than that. Has anyone here considered the fact that he was skating to escape the drug dealing? Look at both sides of Kick Push. It's definately about skating, but it's also about pushing. Lupe uses his lyrics to tell a story, and plays on words to give it multiple meanings. Lupe is a lyrical genius.
and for jesse4182,
first and fifteenth is Lupe's record label, Further more the 1st & 15th of the month relate to checks... Big days for dealers as everyone pays what they owe when they get their check... Or has cash on hand to buy more...
