Luyện nghe bài hát HipHop Knowledge

You know, is funny
If you don't the actions of your own success
You won't be
You gotta know your own formula, own ingredients
made you, you

1987, I was at the Latin
to Africa Bambaata give the order
The call of the was to avoid the slaughter
He said, "Record companies got nuttin for ya"
a lawyer, he taught The Infinity Lessons
In how hip-hop could be a, a blessing
And that was great, so in
There was no debate, we had to end the

The name of the was Stop the Violence
And unity, knowledge, and
We talkin' 'bout Martin and Malcolm
Had these ghetto goin', huh, what about him?
1989, Professor Griff his mind
But his freedom of is declined
1990, came the West coast
East coast, West coast, who is the best

Lookin' back now, of it was bogus
The argument was where we lost focus
We got hopeless, not with the and music
But hip-hop, and how we used it
Or it, you know how the crew get
You like it cause you it
1991, we opened our
With Human Education Against Lies, we

To about the state of humanity
But all others rappers got mad at me
They called me Human, another message was sent
Destruction don't pay the rent
Remember that? Nobody wanted rap
It was like where these at
Where can they call us at? All was
Hip-hop culture was fallin' flat and was that

So in 1992, I found my
They said, "Yo Kris, you wanna do?"
I said, "Damn, why they get with me?
If I they I'm contradictory"
If I play the role, they take my shoe
Tell me the am I supposed to do?
So I did it, stop get it get it get it
All of a sudden these critics they spit it

Kay Are Ess One is
Just 'cause I wouldn't let these rappers get me
That, you and pen
If a rapper wanna diss, yo I'd do it
But I'm makin' these ends, and I got my
And I really don't have to sit in the pen
So I go to the philosopher
1993, is uhh, wack

Go back, check the
1994, of the Boom Bap
It wasn't all the loot
It was all about Harry Allen Rhythm Institute
Blowin' 1 up,
Conscious rap is alive
But nobody wanna play it, nobody say it
Nobody it, they'd all rather hate it

1996, it don't stop
We put somethin' called the Temple of hip-hop
Not just DJin', breakin', graf and
But how hip-hop the spirit
Step Into a World, that's I did
1997, I was my kid
Or kids, but I, had to go
New York DJ's changed the flows

To clothes and hoes, but that me
I'll be damned if I for the MTV
So in 1998, I to debate
Should I go now, or should I wait?
'99, I to L.A. you see
And a gig with the WB
Started studyin' full-time
To have a full heart, body, full mind

But you know what the is or was
DJ's raise our kids, 'cause
so caught up in the cash and jewels
How they gonna see a hip-hop school?
How gonna really see a hip-hop temple?
They even wanna play my instrumentals, but
Big up Dr. Dre, Snoop,
Especially Xzibit, he was there in a

Mic Conception, all of them,
Yo you need help? I should them
When I was in L.A., I the crown
Bloods, Crips, they me down
I could never forget Mad Lion, pride
the gat in the lap in the low-ride
Oh, I can't forget, Icy Ice, Lou
G, that was the crew

Davey D, Ingrid, David
The goes on and on, let me tell ya
FredWreck, and my man
respect, no less
To my spiritual and mental
Big up to L.A., members
But in 2000, I how I wanted to live
I no executive

So I picked up the mic and I my job
Said to Simone, I gotta get God
She said, "Don't worry these dollars and quarters
Record ain't got nuttin' for ya"
Damn, she me back to Bam
me back to who I am
Brought me back to the New land
Now I

{Now KRS-One, now you've quoted as saying that
Rap is something we do, hip-hop is you live
Yes
Explain that to us

{Well, well, today hip-hop, we are that hip-hop is not
a music, it is an attitude, it is an awareness, it is a way
To the world
So rap music, is we do, but hip-hop is something we live
And we look at hip-hop, in 9 elements
Which is breaking, emceeing, art, deejaying, beatboxing
fashion, street language, street knowledge, and street
Entrepenurialism, and business}

{And uhh, that's where
That's the hip-hop that that we're about
We come from the uhh the root of, of DJ Herc
Who originated hip-hop in the 70's
And then Africa Bambaata and Zulu
Who instigated something called The Infinity
And added to hip-hop, and then Grandmaster Flash
With the invention of the mixer, on to Run-D.M.C. and myself}

{And uhh, we the Stop the Violence movement, you may recall
A song, Destruction and and and so on
All of this, goes to uhh uhh, the idea of living culture out
And responsibility for how it looks and, and acts in society}
