Luyện nghe bài hát HipHop Knowledge

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

1987, I was at the Quarters
Listenin' to Africa Bambaata give the
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 be a, many a blessing
And that was great, so in
was no debate, we had to end the hate

The name of the was Stop the Violence
And unity, knowledge, and
We started talkin' 'bout Martin and
Had these ghetto kids goin', huh, 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 coast?

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

To talk the state of humanity
But all these others got mad at me
They called me Human, another message was sent
Self Destruction don't pay the
Remember that? Nobody conscious rap
It was like where ballers at
Where can call us at? All was wack
culture was fallin' flat and that was that

So in 1992, I my crew
said, "Yo Kris, what you wanna do?"
I said, "Damn, why they get with me?
If I bust I'm contradictory"
If I play the bitch role, they my shoe
me what the am I supposed to do?
So I did it, stop get it get it get it
All of a these critics 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 diss, yo I'd do it again
But I'm these ends, and I got my friends
And I don't wanna have to sit in the pen
So I go to the philosopher
1993, hip-hop is uhh,

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

1996, it don't stop
We put together called the Temple of hip-hop
Not just DJin', breakin', and lyrics
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
'Cause New DJ's changed the flows

To clothes and hoes, but that me
be damned if I dance 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 took a gig the WB
Started studyin' philosophy
To a full heart, full body, full mind

But you know the problem is or was
DJ's raise our kids, 'cause
They so up in the cash and jewels
How they really see a hip-hop school?
How they gonna see a hip-hop temple?
They don't even 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
I was in L.A., I held the crown
Bloods, Crips, held me down
I could forget Mad Lion, killer 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 defenders
Big up to L.A., temple
But in 2000, I seen how I to live
I no executive

So I up the mic and I quit my job
Said to Simone, I gotta get God
She said, "Don't worry bout these dollars and
Record companies ain't got 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 been quoted as saying
Rap is something we do, hip-hop is 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 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 the uhh the root of, of Kool DJ Herc
Who originated in the early 70's
And then Africa Bambaata and Zulu
Who something called The Infinity Lessons
And consciousness to hip-hop, and then Grandmaster Flash
With the invention of the mixer, on to Run-D.M.C. and then

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