Yeah, yo, what's up? This is Hip Hop
Yeah, you know, knowledge is power (Stormatique on the beat)
And this is Hip Hop Knowledge, the refix (word)
2013, MCskill ThaPreacha, Stormatique
Yo, check it out
In the early '70s, Hip Hop was born
Few years later, Hip Hop was one
DJ Kool Herc is the father
Holding Hip Hop with a grip all the way up the ladder
Let me take you further
Afrika Bambaataa, he added consciousness, that made us stronger
Bambaataa, founder, the Zulu Nation
Hip Hop would go on and survive in any situation
Grandmaster Flash came with a flash
Took Hip Hop by surprise with the Furious Five
Much props to Melle Mel and Cowboy Wiggins
Creating the term Hip Hop when he was scat singing
JMJ runs DMC
I'm talking Jason Mizell, Run and the MC
With 'devastating mic control', they turned leaders
The culture was richer, here comes the teacher
Knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everybody
Call up KRS, he's guaranteed to rip a party
He helped Hip Hop destroying all critics
Kicking knowledge to emcees trapped in their cities
Incorporating Jamaican style into Hip Hop
KRS-One, founder Temple of Hip Hop
All this happened right before the golden age
Before gangsta rap, we had the golden age
It's a period in the mainstream hip-hop
When innovation was the key, no flip-flop
Public Enemy, I see you
Eric B and Rakim, De La Soul, man I see you
I could go on and on, but I gotta stop
I brought you Hip Hop Knowledge, now you overstand
Welcome to Hip Hop culture, where Deejaying, Emceeing, Graffiti Art, Breaking
And the philosophies are expressed every day within the inner cities of America and the world
You are not doing Hip Hop, you are Hip Hop
Love yourself and your expression, you can't go wrong
You know, you don't see with your eyes, you see with your brain
And the more words your brain has, the more things you can see
Yo, you Black, White, Hispanic, or you Asian
Come together if you down for this Nation
We don't discriminate, we ain't racists
Ugly or pretty, we don't care about your faces
'Victory over the streets' is our model
I quote from the teacher, the grand model
Hip Hop reduced gang wars and street violence
With artwork battles replacing the physical violence
The critics? They ain't got nothing to say
Guaranteed attention, we don't even have to pray
They tried so hard to make us fall apart
But we went stronger, hip and hop couldn't part
Hip Hop is one, we gotta keep expanding
Critics got no choice but to start comprehending
Listen, I'm 'bout to state the nine elements
It's a culture respected by the residents
Breaking, Emceeing, Deejaying, Graffiti Art
Hip Hop is alive, it's the city's heart
Beatboxing, Street Fashion, Street Language, Street Knowledge
You gotta acknowledge
Street Entrepreneurialism
That's the last of the elements' son, study my lyricism
We live Hip Hop, I'd never stop saying that
I brought you Hip Hop knowledge, now you overstand (stand, stand-)
We created the "Stop the Violence" movement
You may recall a song "Self Destruction", and so on
All of this goes to uh, uh, the idea of living this culture
And taking responsibility for how it looks, and acts in society
