Luyện nghe bài hát HipHop Knowledge

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

1987, I was at the Latin
Listenin' to Africa Bambaata give the
The call of the order was to avoid the
He said, "Record companies got nuttin for ya"
a lawyer, he taught The Infinity Lessons
In how hip-hop could be a, a blessing
And was great, so in 1988
was no debate, we had to end the hate

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

Lookin' back now, of it was bogus
The whole argument was where we lost
We got hopeless, not with the 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 our eyes
With Human Education Lies, we tried

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

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

Go back, check the
1994, return of the Bap
It all about the loot
It was all about Allen Rhythm Cultural Institute
Blowin' 1 up,
Conscious rap is still
But wanna play it, nobody wanna say it
Nobody okayed it, they'd all rather it

1996, it really stop
We put together somethin' the Temple of hip-hop
Not DJin', breakin', graf and lyrics
But how hip-hop affects the
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 clothes and hoes, but that me
I'll be damned if I for the MTV
So in 1998, I began to
I go now, or should I really wait?
'99, I to L.A. you see
And a gig with the WB
Started philosophy full-time
To have a full heart, full body, full

But you know what the 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 really see a 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 call
When I was in L.A., I the crown
Bloods, Crips, they held me
I could never forget Mad Lion, killer
With the gat in the lap in the
Oh, I can't forget, Icy Ice, Lou
Julio G, that was the

D, Ingrid, David Connor
The goes on and on, let me tell ya
FredWreck, and my man

To my spiritual and defenders
Big up to L.A., members
But in 2000, I seen how I 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 bout dollars and quarters
Record companies 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 been quoted as saying that
Rap is something we do, hip-hop is you live

{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 something we do, but hip-hop is something we
And we look at hip-hop, in it's 9
is breaking, emceeing, graffiti art, deejaying, beatboxing
Street fashion, street language, knowledge, and street
Entrepenurialism, and business}

{And uhh, where y'know
That's the hip-hop that that that we're
We from the uhh the root of, of Kool 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, Destruction and and and so on
All of this, goes to uhh uhh, the idea of this culture out
And taking for how it looks and, and acts in society}
