Luyện nghe bài hát HipHop Knowledge

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

1987, I was at the Quarters
to Africa Bambaata give the order
The call of the was to avoid the slaughter
He said, "Record companies got nuttin for ya"
Without a lawyer, he The Infinity Lessons
In how hip-hop could be a, a blessing
And was great, so in 1988
There was no debate, we had to end the

The name of the game was Stop the
And unity, knowledge, and
We started talkin' 'bout and Malcolm
Had these ghetto goin', huh, what about him?
1989, Professor speaks his mind
But his freedom of speech is
1990, with the West coast
East coast, coast, who is the best coast?

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

To about the state of humanity
But all these others got mad at me
They called me Captain Human, another message was
Self Destruction pay the rent
that? Nobody wanted conscious rap
It was like where ballers at
Where can they call us at? All was
Hip-hop was fallin' flat and that was that

So in 1992, I my crew
They said, "Yo Kris, what you do?"
I said, "Damn, why they get with me?
If I they I'm contradictory"
If I play the bitch role, 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 rappers get me
That, you and pen
If a wanna diss, yo I'd do it again
But I'm makin' these ends, and I got my
And I don't wanna have to sit in the pen
So I go back to the
1993, is uhh, wack

Go back, the facts
1994, of the Boom Bap
It wasn't all about the
It was all about Allen Rhythm Cultural Institute
1 up, 1995
Conscious rap is still
But nobody wanna play it, nobody say it
Nobody okayed it, all rather hate it

1996, it really stop
We put somethin' called the Temple of hip-hop
Not DJin', breakin', graf and lyrics
But how hip-hop affects the
Step Into a World, what I did
1997, I was my kid
Or kids, but I, had to go
'Cause New York changed the flows

To clothes and hoes, but that me
I'll be if I dance for the MTV
So in 1998, I began to
Should I go now, or should I really
'99, I to L.A. you see
And took a gig the WB
Started studyin' philosophy
To a full heart, full body, full mind

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

Mic Conception, all of them,
Yo you need help? I should them
I was in L.A., I held the crown
Bloods, Crips, they me down
I could never forget Mad Lion, killer
the gat in the lap in the low-ride
Oh, I forget, Icy Ice, Lucky Lou
Julio G, that was the

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

So I up the mic and I quit 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
me back to who I am
Brought me back to the New York
Now I

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

{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 view the
So rap music, is we do, but hip-hop is something we live
And we look at hip-hop, in it's 9
Which is breaking, emceeing, graffiti art, deejaying,
Street fashion, street language, knowledge, and street
Entrepenurialism, trade and

uhh, that's where y'know
That's the hip-hop that that we're about
We from the uhh the root of, of Kool DJ Herc
Who originated in the early 70's
And then Africa Bambaata and Zulu
Who instigated called The Infinity Lessons
And added consciousness to hip-hop, and then Flash
With the invention of the mixer, on to Run-D.M.C. and then

{And uhh, we created the the Violence movement, you may recall
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 looks and, and in society}
