Luyện nghe bài hát HipHop Knowledge

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

1987, I was at the Quarters
to Africa Bambaata give the order
The call of the order was to avoid the
He said, "Record companies got nuttin for ya"
Without a lawyer, he The Infinity Lessons
In how hip-hop could be a, a blessing
And that was great, so in
was no debate, we had to end the hate

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

Lookin' now, of course it was bogus
The argument was where we lost focus
We got hopeless, not with the and music
But with hip-hop, and how we it
Or abused it, you how the crew get
You like it cause you it
1991, we opened our
Human Education Against Lies, we tried

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

So in 1992, I my crew
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, they 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 I wouldn't let these rappers 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 back to the
1993, hip-hop is uhh,

Go back, the facts
1994, of the Boom Bap
It wasn't all the loot
It was all about Harry Allen Rhythm Institute
1 up, 1995
Conscious rap is still
But nobody play it, nobody wanna say it
Nobody okayed it, they'd all rather it

1996, it really don't
We put together somethin' called the Temple of
Not DJin', breakin', graf 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 York DJ's the flows

To clothes and hoes, but wasn't 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 a gig with the WB
Started studyin' philosophy
To a full heart, full body, full mind

But you know what the is or was
DJ's don't raise our kids,
They so up in the cash 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 held the
Bloods, Crips, they held me
I never forget Mad Lion, killer pride
With the gat in the lap in the
Oh, I forget, Icy Ice, Lucky Lou
Julio G, was the crew

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

So I picked up the mic and I my job
to Simone, I gotta get with God
She said, "Don't worry bout dollars and quarters
companies ain't got nuttin' for ya"
Damn, she took me to Bam
Took me to who I am
Brought me back to the New land
Now I

{Now KRS-One, now you've been quoted as that
Rap is something we do, hip-hop is you live
Yes
Explain that to us

{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 hip-hop is something we
And we look at hip-hop, in 9 elements
Which is breaking, emceeing, graffiti art, deejaying,
fashion, street language, street knowledge, and street
Entrepenurialism, trade and

{And uhh, 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 Zulu
Who instigated something called The Lessons
And consciousness to hip-hop, and then Grandmaster Flash
With the of the mixer, on to Run-D.M.C. and then myself}

uhh, we created 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 this out
And taking for how it looks and, and acts in society}
