Luyện nghe bài hát HipHop Knowledge

You know, life is
If you don't repeat the actions of own success
You be successful
You gotta know your own formula, your own
What you, you

1987, I was at the Latin
Listenin' to Bambaata give the order
The of the order was to avoid the slaughter
He said, "Record companies ain't got for ya"
Without a lawyer, he taught The Lessons
In how hip-hop could be a, many a
And that was great, so in
There was no debate, we had to end the

The name of the game was the Violence
And unity, knowledge, and
We started 'bout Martin and Malcolm
Had ghetto kids goin', huh, what about him?
1989, Griff speaks his mind
But his of speech is declined
1990, came with the coast
coast, West coast, who is the best coast?

Lookin' now, of course it was bogus
The whole argument was where we lost
We got hopeless, not the lyrics and music
But hip-hop, and how we used it
Or abused it, you how the crew get
You like it you choose it
1991, we our eyes
With Human Against Lies, we tried

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

So in 1992, I found my
They said, "Yo Kris, what you do?"
I said, "Damn, why they get with me?
If I bust I'm contradictory"
If I the bitch 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 they wanna spit it

Kay Are Ess One is
Just 'cause I wouldn't let these get with 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 wanna to sit in the pen
So I go to the philosopher
1993, hip-hop is uhh,

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

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

To and hoes, but that wasn't me
be damned if I dance for the MTV
So in 1998, I to debate
Should I go now, or I really wait?
'99, I to L.A. you see
And took a gig the WB
studyin' philosophy full-time
To have a heart, full body, full mind

But you what the problem is or was
DJ's don't our kids, 'cause
They so up in the cash and jewels
How they gonna see a hip-hop school?
How they gonna really see a hip-hop
They even wanna play my instrumentals, but
Big up Dr. Dre, Snoop,
Especially Xzibit, he was in a minute

Mic Conception, all of them,
Yo you need help? I should them
When I was in L.A., I held the
Bloods, Crips, they me down
I could never forget Mad Lion, pride
With the gat in the lap in the
Oh, I forget, Icy Ice, Lucky Lou
Julio G, was the crew

D, Ingrid, David Connor
The list goes on and on, let me ya
FredWreck, and my man
respect, no less
To my spiritual and mental
Big up to L.A., members
But in 2000, I seen how I to live
I wasn't no

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

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

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

{And uhh, that's where
That's the hip-hop that that we're about
We come from the uhh the of, of Kool DJ Herc
Who hip-hop in the early 70's
And then Africa Bambaata and Nation
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 then

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