NOT BLACK ENOUGH FOR SOULSTRUT????!?!?!? Personally, this song is chill and I check dorkmag.com on the regular. I thought I'd post this because it would spark some discussion hattery.

    Someone needs to work on the mix of that song. You can tell they weren't in the same session for that. Pharrell's got no overdubs. Song sounds a bit off. I'm surprised the Pharrell version hadn't been done initially.

    At the Blazing HipHop & R'n'B party I DJ'd at on Friday, the party throwers gave me a CD of songs to play throughout the night. I already had 11 of the 15 songs already, as it was the usual current(ish) BHH&RNB stuff like Bubba Sparxxx, T.I., Bun B & YingYang, Rick Ross, Daddy Yankee, DFB, Crooklyn Clan, etc.

    But surprise of surprises, the CD also included Lupe Fiasco's "Kick Push (remix)."

    So considering the fact that

    a) this was not an event thrown by white folks
    and
    b) Young Phonics' link title

    now may be a good time for certain Soulstrutters to "reconnected to the streets" by "getting their Skateboard-P on."

    No ulterior motive. Just reporting an interesting coincidence.

    Though in the interest of full disclosure, I will admit that I didn't play it that night.

    Yes, but nobody has ever complained that Lupe Fiasco isn't sufficiently Black--the chief complaint has been that rapping about your quest to meet a girl that skates and then grinding off into the sunset with her is corny.

    Can I also add that dude's voice is like listening to a 7 year old whine about barbies?

    i rather like the song... and i find the topic of a skater dude finding a skater chic kinda endearing... there have been endless backpacker songs about some hiero hoodied dude finding a hiero hoodied chica and they go off to elevate third eye mentals in the sunset... i think it works. his rapping is aight.. not much more though.
    im really feeling the production... i dont have the 12" in front of me but it's some filipino group that was sampled. if any of you strutters could point me to an empeethree of the original it would be most appreciated.

    i rather like the song... and i find the topic of a skater dude finding a skater chic kinda endearing...

    He was a boy
    She was a girl
    Can i make it any more obvious
    He was a punk
    She did ballet
    What more can i say
    He wanted her
    She'd never tell secretly she wanted him as well
    But all of her friends
    Stuck up their nose
    They had a problem with his baggy clothes

    He was a skater boy
    She said see you later boy
    He wasn't good enough for her
    She had a pretty face
    But her head was up in space
    She needed to come back down to earth

    5 years from now
    She sits at home
    Feeding the baby she's all alone
    She turns on tv
    Guess who she sees
    Skater boy rockin up MTV
    She calls up her friends
    They already know
    And they've all got
    Tickets to see his show
    She tags along
    Stands in the crowd
    Looks up at the man that she turned down

    He was a skater boy
    She said see you later boy
    He wasn't good enough for her
    Now he's a super star
    Slamming on his guitar
    Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

    That also is not a good look.

    This is a five-star post, however.
