i thought i was the only one hip to apathy/demigodz/aotp, this site keeps on surprising me - celph titled was one of my personal favorite artists out that crew
definitely not. I used to attend their shows(got pics) and buy all of their albums back in the day. The EC vs Demigodz beef is one of the best ever that goes unnoticed. Louis Logic was dope too. He came to my city and did a show and no one knew who he was. I still got pics of that show too almost 20 years ago.
Never heard of this cracker
A colossal waste of talent that refused to move on from his boom bap style
Lyrically could match up with anyone
Yup
And?

Some people just donβt care to make music for teenagers and women that can barely read.

I don't get this. Kick Push was produced by Soundtrakk who was Lupe's guy from Chicago and I'm pretty sure he made the track pre-signing his deal, so I don't get how Apathy's offered the beat at all.
Looking in the replies, he's backtracking about hearing the beat, so I think what happened was Atlantic might have pushed him at the time to make a cut w/ a skateboarding theme (probably because Kick, Push was already in the motions to be a debut single for Lupe, so they might have already name-checked it), as they've done those kind of requests before (I know people who were signed to Atlantic in the ringtone era who were requested to make a chorus for a single specifically mentioning phones/calls by the label) and he's misremembering it as being offered 'Kick, Push' specifically.

title is inconsistent with video
the thread title says he was offered the "beat" but he was actually offered the entire song and image concept along with the beat
nonetheless, a white boy rapper skateboarding is less capturing than a audio juxtaposition of Chicago hoods and a black skateboarder within them .... so this apathy cat likely woulda had a dud if he accepted the song
