Luyện nghe bài hát HipHop Knowledge

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

1987, I was at the Quarters
Listenin' to Africa Bambaata give the
The call of the order was to the slaughter
He said, "Record ain't got nuttin for ya"
Without a lawyer, he The Infinity Lessons
In how hip-hop be a, many a blessing
And was great, so in 1988
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 kids goin', huh, what about him?
1989, Professor speaks his mind
But his of speech is declined
1990, came with the West
East coast, West coast, who is the coast?

back now, of course it was bogus
The whole was where we lost focus
We got hopeless, not with the lyrics and
But with hip-hop, and how we it
Or abused it, you how the crew get
You like it cause you it
1991, we our eyes
With Human Education Lies, we tried

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

So in 1992, I found my
They said, "Yo Kris, what you do?"
I said, "Damn, why they wanna get me?
If I they I'm contradictory"
If I play the bitch role, take my shoe
me what the am I supposed to do?
So I did it, don't 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 rappers get with me
That, you and pen
If a wanna diss, yo I'd do it again
But I'm makin' ends, and I got my friends
And I really don't have to sit in the pen
So I go back to the
1993, hip-hop is uhh,

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

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

To clothes and hoes, but that me
I'll be damned if I 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' full-time
To a full heart, full body, full mind

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

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

Davey D, Ingrid, David
The list on and on, let me tell ya
FredWreck, and my man
Much respect, no
To my and mental defenders
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
Said to Simone, I gotta get God
She said, "Don't worry bout these and quarters
Record companies got nuttin' for ya"
Damn, she took me to Bam
Took me to who I am
Brought me back to the New York
Now I

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

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

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