Yo, what's up, Blastmaster KRS-One? This jam is kicking |
| [00:04.433] |
Word, yo, what up, D-Nice? (Yo, what's up Scott La Rock?) |
| [00:08.674] |
Yo, man, we chilling, just funky fresh jam |
| [00:11.329] |
I want to tell you a little something about us |
| [00:12.873] |
We're the Boogie Down Productions crew |
| [00:14.466] |
And due to the fact that no one else out there knew what time it was |
| [00:17.413] |
We have to tell you a little story about where we we come from |
| [00:20.499] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [00:23.184] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [00:25.586] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [00:28.269] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [00:30.650] |
Many people tell me this style is terrific |
| [00:33.314] |
It is kinda different, but let's get specific |
| [00:35.708] |
KRS-One specialize in music |
| [00:38.102] |
I'll only use this type of style when I choose it |
| [00:41.242] |
Party people in the place to be, KRS-One attacks |
| [00:45.978] |
You got dropped off MCA 'cause the rhymes you wrote was wack |
| [00:50.980] |
So, you think that hip-hop had its start out in Queensbridge? |
| [00:56.076] |
If you pop that junk up in the Bronx you might not live, 'cause you're in |
| [01:00.852] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [01:03.511] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [01:05.899] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [01:08.552] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [01:10.957] |
I came with Scott La Rock to express one thing |
| [01:13.609] |
I am a teacher and others are kings |
| [01:15.682] |
If that's the title they earn, well it's well deserved, but |
| [01:18.604] |
Without a crown, see, I still burn |
| [01:20.731] |
You settle for a pebble, not a stone like a rebel |
| [01:23.404] |
KRS-One is the holder of a boulder |
| [01:26.081] |
Money folder |
| [01:28.138] |
You want a fresh style, let me show ya |
| [01:30.792] |
Now way back in the days when hip-hop began |
| [01:33.442] |
With Coke De La Rock, Kool Herc and then Bam |
| [01:36.119] |
B-boys ran to the latest jam |
| [01:38.192] |
But when it got shot up, they went home and said, "Damn |
| [01:41.127] |
There's got to be a better way to hear our music every day" |
| [01:43.547] |
B-boys getting blown away but coming outside anyway |
| [01:46.214] |
They tried again outside in Cedar Park |
| [01:48.354] |
Power from a street light made the place dark |
| [01:51.003] |
But, yo, they didn't care, they turned it out |
| [01:53.389] |
I know a few understand what I'm talking about |
| [01:55.788] |
Remember Bronx River rolling thick |
| [01:58.466] |
With Kool DJ Red Alert and Chuck Chillout on the mix |
| [02:01.133] |
When Afrika Islam was rocking the jams |
| [02:03.263] |
And on the other side of town was a kid named Flash |
| [02:06.200] |
Patterson and Mill Brook projects |
| [02:08.618] |
Casanova all over, you couldn't stop it |
| [02:11.013] |
The Nine Lives Crew, the Cypress Boys |
| [02:13.667] |
The real Rock Steady taking out these toys |
| [02:16.075] |
As odd as it looked, as wild as it seem |
| [02:18.479] |
I didn't hear a peep from a place called Queens |
| [02:20.859] |
It was '76 to 1980 |
| [02:23.549] |
The dreads in Brooklyn was crazy |
| [02:25.937] |
You couldn't bring out your set with no hip-hop |
| [02:28.598] |
Because the pistols would go |
| [02:31.517] |
So why don't you wise up? Show all the people in the place that you are wack |
| [02:36.052] |
Instead of tryna take out LL, you need to take your homeboys off the crack |
| [02:41.822] |
'Cause if you don't, well then, their nerves will become shot |
| [02:46.842] |
And that would leave the job up to my own Scott La Rock, and he's from |
| [02:51.415] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [02:53.811] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [02:56.210] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [02:58.880] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [03:01.531] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [03:03.937] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [03:06.593] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [03:08.997] |
South Bronx, the South-South Bronx |
| [04:36.218] |
The human TR-808, D-Nice |
| [04:42.924] |
The poet, the Blastmaster KRS-ONE |
| [04:48.979] |
The Grand Incredible DJ Scott La Rock |
| [04:54.559] |
Boogie Down Productions |
| [04:58.552] |
Fresh for '86, you suckers |
