Yo what's up Blastmaster KRS One |
| [00:07.570] |
This jam is kicking |
| [00:09.098] |
Word, yo what up D-Nice? |
| [00:11.148] |
(Yo what's up Scott La Rock?) |
| [00:13.201] |
Yo man we chilling just funky fresh jam |
| [00:15.672] |
I want to tell you a little something about us |
| [00:17.070] |
We're the Boogie Down Productions crew |
| [00:18.770] |
And due to the fact that |
| [00:19.607] |
No-one else out there knew what time it was |
| [00:21.597] |
We have to tell you a little story about |
| [00:22.675] |
Where we we come from |
| [00:24.905] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4x) |
| [00:34.801] |
Many people tell me this style is terrific |
| [00:37.370] |
It is kinda different but let's get specific |
| [00:39.960] |
KRS-One specialize in music |
| [00:42.351] |
I'll only use this type of style when I choose it |
| [00:45.229] |
Party people in the place to be |
| [00:47.105] |
KRS-One attacks |
| [00:50.148] |
You got dropped off MCA |
| [00:52.008] |
Cause the rhymes you wrote was wack |
| [00:55.198] |
So you think that hip-hop |
| [00:56.690] |
Had its start out in Queensbridge |
| [01:00.227] |
If you pop that junk up in the Bronx |
| [01:02.742] |
You might not live, cause you're in |
| [01:04.844] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4x) |
| [01:14.784] |
I came with Scott La Rock to express one thing |
| [01:17.685] |
I am a teacher and others are kings |
| [01:19.644] |
If that's the title they earn |
| [01:20.894] |
Well it's well deserved, but |
| [01:22.786] |
Without a crown, see, I still burn |
| [01:24.902] |
You settle for a pebble |
| [01:25.908] |
Not a stone like a rebel |
| [01:27.480] |
KRS-One is the holder of a boulder |
| [01:30.301] |
Money folder |
| [01:32.405] |
You want a fresh style let me show ya |
| [01:35.004] |
Now way back in the days |
| [01:35.972] |
When hip-hop began, with Coke LaRock |
| [01:38.305] |
Kool Herc, and then Bam |
| [01:40.052] |
B-boys ran to the latest jam |
| [01:42.129] |
But when it got shot up |
| [01:43.301] |
They went home and said "Damn |
| [01:44.959] |
There's got to be a better way |
| [01:46.108] |
To hear our music every day |
| [01:47.544] |
B-boys getting blown away |
| [01:48.583] |
But coming outside anyway" |
| [01:50.259] |
They tried again outside in Cedar Park |
| [01:52.513] |
Power from a street light made the place dark |
| [01:54.902] |
But yo, they didn't care, they turned it out |
| [01:57.249] |
I know a few understand what I'm talking about |
| [01:59.714] |
Remember Bronx River, rolling thick |
| [02:02.179] |
With Kool DJ Red Alert |
| [02:03.498] |
And Chuck Chillout on the mix |
| [02:04.959] |
When Afrika Islam was rocking the jams |
| [02:07.248] |
And on the other side of town |
| [02:08.517] |
Was a kid named Flash |
| [02:10.141] |
Patterson and Millbrook projects |
| [02:12.266] |
Casanova all over, ya couldn't stop it |
| [02:15.050] |
The Nine Lives Crew, the Cypress Boys |
| [02:17.475] |
The real Rock Steady taking out these toys |
| [02:19.854] |
As odd as it looked, as wild as it seems |
| [02:22.203] |
I didn't hear a peep from a place called Queens |
| [02:24.812] |
It was seventy-six to 1980 |
| [02:27.508] |
The dreads in Brooklyn was crazy |
| [02:29.822] |
You couldn't bring out your set with no hip-hop |
| [02:32.291] |
Because the pistols would go |
| [02:34.787] |
So why don't you wise up |
| [02:36.331] |
Show all the people in the place |
| [02:38.039] |
That you are wack |
| [02:40.460] |
Instead of tryna take out LL |
| [02:42.235] |
You need to take your homeboys off the crack |
| [02:45.496] |
Cause if you don't, well |
| [02:46.920] |
Then their nerves will become shot |
| [02:50.535] |
And that would leave the job up |
| [02:52.616] |
To my own Scott La Rock and he's from |
| [02:55.240] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4x) |
| [03:05.148] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4x) |
| [03:16.143] |
|
| [04:40.543] |
The human TR-808, D-Nice |
| [04:46.253] |
The poet, the Blastmaster KRS-ONE |
| [04:52.201] |
The Grand Incredible DJ Scott La Rock |
| [04:57.920] |
Boogie... Down... Productions |
| [05:02.040] |
Fresh for '86, you suckers! |
