Grizzly Bear was good, but Kick, Push was one of my favourite songs back then that still gets a run every now and again.

So, Lupe is not so well liked around here, huh? Oh well, I love Veckatimest anyway.

The Lupe track sounds good on a first listen- but its just not really grabbing me. I'll go with that pretty cheerleader.

Grizzly Bear are one of my 2000s favourites and they had no tracks nominated yet, so I went in with another personal favourite. Nothing much to say there, I don't think it's spectacular or anything, but I love the vocal layering, and the subtle buildup throughout the track.

First time hearing the Lupe track but it gets my vote. Never really been a fan of Grizzly Bear.

Love Grizzly Bear and every part of Veckatimest but I remember Kick Push coming out and even though its a bit of a throwback it felt fresh and it still does. Deceptively easy.

'Kick, Push' is just about the only worthwhile thing Lupe ever did, but it really is incredible. There are very few better written rap songs. It's a beautiful, balanced, self-contained narrative, and - unlike his later work - it never feels overtly tryhard. 'Kick, Push' is a misnomer; I've spent the better part of twenty years expecting Lupe to make OK music because of this song.
