Luyện nghe bài hát HipHop Knowledge

You know, is funny
If you repeat the actions of your own success
You be successful
You gotta your own formula, your own ingredients
What you, you

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

The name of the was Stop the Violence
And unity, knowledge, and
We started talkin' Martin and Malcolm
Had these ghetto kids goin', huh, what about
1989, Griff 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 it was bogus
The argument was where we lost focus
We got hopeless, not the lyrics and music
But with hip-hop, and how we it
Or abused it, you how the crew get
You it cause you choose it
1991, we our eyes
Human Education Against Lies, we tried

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

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

Kay Are Ess One is
Just 'cause I wouldn't let rappers 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 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 Harry Allen Rhythm Institute
1 up, 1995
Conscious rap is alive
But wanna play it, nobody wanna say it
okayed it, they'd all rather hate it

1996, it really stop
We put somethin' called the Temple of hip-hop
Not just DJin', breakin', graf and
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 DJ's changed the

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

But you know the problem is or was
DJ's don't our kids, 'cause
They so caught up in the cash and
How they really see a hip-hop school?
How they gonna see a hip-hop temple?
They don't 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 I should call them
I was in L.A., I held the crown
Bloods, Crips, held me down
I could never forget Mad Lion, killer
With the gat in the lap in the
Oh, I forget, Icy Ice, Lucky Lou
Julio G, was the crew

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

So I up the mic and I quit my job
Said to Simone, I get with God
She said, "Don't worry these dollars and quarters
companies 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, is something 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 view the
So rap music, is something we do, but hip-hop is we live
And we look at hip-hop, in 9 elements
Which is breaking, emceeing, graffiti art, deejaying,
Street fashion, language, street knowledge, and street
Entrepenurialism, and business}

uhh, that's where y'know
That's the hip-hop that that we're about
We come from the uhh the root of, of DJ Herc
Who originated in the early 70's
And then Africa Bambaata and Nation
Who something 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 Stop the 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 for how it looks and, and acts in society}
