(Click more below to view lyrics)Another video i personally created on my computer for another of my song from my now on sale album Straight Outta Africa titled Hip-Hop 101 for all lovers of the art of Hip-Hop • • MySpace: http://myspace.com/fishemusic • • Official Website: http://fishe.us • • Lyrics • • What is Hip-Hop? • Hip-Hop is a lifestyle with its own language • Dress code, music and mind set that continues to evolve • Hip-Hop is the culture from which rap music evolves • Rap is simply poetry on a beat • A form of self expression embedded deep within ancient African culture • And oral tradition....Know what I'm saying?.....Check.... • • Hip-Hop, born in the Bronx in the early seventies • Where DJ Kool Herc had invented the melodies • Before Clark Kent and Coke LaRock • Became the first MCs to pick up a mic and rock da block • To pave the way for pioneers like Afrika Bambaata • Melle Mel, Grandmaster Flash, Grand Master Caz • Before the Sugar Hill Gang released rappers delight • And Kurtis Blow hit the charts bringing Hip-Hop to light • Before the Beastie, Ice T, Run DMC • L.L Cool J, Roxanne and Kool Moe Dee • Before Doug E. Fresh and em got introduced to you • Before Eric B and Rakim got paid in full • When KRS One and Scot were the Boogie Down Productions • Criminal Minded , niggaz need no introduction • Salt-n-Pepa pushed it and we knew it won't stop • This is the life we're living, this is what we call Hip-Hop • • Chorus: • • Hip-Hop is here to stay and will never die • No disrespect fe Nas but me tell you no lie • Demma rape the culture that which I cant deny • But they cant bring us down no matter how unno try • Everybody tryna water down the way demma rap • And the media be feeding us nothing but crap • Pay attention, listen to this African chap • It's time to put real Hip-Hop back on the map • • I remember Big Daddy Kane, with all em jewelries • Back then when Slick Rick used to tell us stories • Public Enemy came and it was all political • Kool G. Rap blew and always kept it lyrical • Straight Outta Compton came NWA • I used to listen to the Geto Boys everyday • It was crazy, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Monie Love • I recall how they repped the ladies • Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff • B-Real of Cypress Hill, Naughty by Nature, A Tribe Called Quest • The Wu-Tang Clan, Pete Rock and CL Smooth • De La Soul, MC Hammer and the 2 Live Crew • 2Pac, Busta Rhymes, Nas, House of Pain • Snoop Dogg, Biggie, Scarface and Dr. Dre • Bone Thugs and Harmony, can't forget Kris Kross • This is the life we're living; this is what we call Hip-Hop • • Chorus: • • It's really a shame, what we got left of the game • Since Big and Pac, everybody's sounding the same • The major record labels need to take most of the blame • Cos it's no longer about the love its bout the money and fame • But I'mma give it up for Jay-Z and Eminem • Outkast, E-40, Red and Method Man • Master P., Wyclef and Lauryl Hill • Lil Kim, Missy, Foxxy Brown, E-V-E • X to the Z, Ja Rule and Ludacris • DMX, Mobb Deep, Puff and Jadakiss • Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def, Talib Kweli • Kanye West, Too Short, The Roots, Nelly • The Pharcyde, Dead Prez and Common Sense • Lil Wayne, Mase, T.I and 50 Cents • These are just few of the cats still making it pop • This is the life we're living, this is what we call Hip-Hop
