Lupe Fiasco burst onto the scene in 2006 with 'Kick, Push,' a single that sounded like nothing else in mainstream hip-hop and instantly heralded the arrival of a unique voice.

'Daydreamin'' is the third single taken from Lupe Fiasco's album Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor (2006) and features soul singer Jill Scott.

Lupe Fiasco Speaks On The Origin Of 'Kick, Push' & How It Paved The Way For Lil Wayne & More Trending Megan Thee Stallion Graces Variety Magazine for Power of Young Hollywood Issue. So he kick push kick push kick push kick push coast And away he rolled jus' a rebel to the world with no place to go So he kick push kick push kick push kick push coast So come and skate with me just a rebel looking for a place to be So lets kick and push and coast My man got a little older became a better a roller. Lupe raps about the the first minute the boy rode on the skateboard, which caused him to bust his lip, to finding love in a girl who also loves skateboarding. 'Kick, Push' describes the motion of how you would ride a skateboard, which can also be a metaphor for life: 'Kick, push, kick, push and coast.'

Background[edit]

The single is based on a sample of 'Daydream in Blue' by I Monster, a song that samples 'Daydream' by Gunter Kallmann Choir (which in itself is a cover, the original being written by The Wallace Collection). The song's lyrics depict an adventure being experienced through the eyes of a robot. The song's lyrics are also a critique of pop culture, especially of the current state of hip hop music.

The song was released in the UK and US on September 11, 2006; however, a download-only version was available one week earlier and charted at #46 (without any physical sales).

In 2008 'Daydreamin' won the Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. It was ranked the best rap song of 2006 by many publications.

This song was also featured in an AT&T commercial during May 2008 for a Samsung phone.^{[citation needed]}

Music video[edit]

A music video was created for the song; it shows Lupe Fiasco at a record store, where he meets and befriends a robot. Jill Scott is shown in a video projected on the wall, singing with a flower in her hair in a manner reminiscent of Billie Holiday.

Young Buck did a freestyle remix over the instrumental to this song, and is the first track, featured on G-Unit Radio Pt. Aol 9.6 for mac. 24: The Clean Up Man.

In popular culture[edit]

A further remixed version of I Monster's work is used in the 2016 episode 'eps2.0_unm4sk-pt1.tc' in Season 2 of the series Mr. Robot, which is often mistaken for the Lupe Fiasco version. The music that appears in the show uses parts that only appear in the 1998 song, and no vocals or changes from the Fiasco version are present.^[2]
