Well what we're dealing with is music, music, music
So many categories styles and ways that we've used it
To keep you in tune with the sound track as the mood switches
Emphasizing emotions to amplify the notion thus
Electrocute it
I execute it so it's therapeutic
Innovation improves it but never abuse it
Leon Scott found a way to rotate a plate on a pin
Creating tracings of vibrations made while it spins
Time Frame
1877 to 1876
Using this Thomas Edison improved a bit
See he invented a machine that played a two-minute disk
After Bell invented the telephone in '76
Time Frame
After World War I a wide range of signs came
Music retail was a wise aim
In the early 20s blues defined the game the time frame
That black music was segregated and jazz climbed to fame
From pop philosophy you know get the lock and key to grow
From any prophecy truth grows
See many comedy duos like Harris and Harris recorded rhymes over blues beats
In 19 two 3 like Kool Keith bugging on looseleaf
To introduce heat we use speech
Eighty years ago they used what we now know as hip-hop to move streets
Time Frame
Now or never power measured by violent terror
Allowing a sense of the vibe that ties it together
As clever interventors found treasures to make the world better
Working under pressure to step up aggressors were searching to get an edge up
On the opponents
With these components ease the soul with the poet that captures the moment
And adds the exponent of madness in motive and after the focuses clear
Why you here?
?Yo it's a cycle of fear?
Time Frame
The modern era weapons, constant fear and questions
Bombs prepared for testing
So in these times songs share a blessing
Long before you hear confessions
Respect the moment, check this lesson
A year after the first stereo phonic LP
In 1958 improved sound led to high fidelity
Astronauts explore the moon incredibly
For the first time in the next decade of the century
Malcolm X and Dr. King were both a**a**inated
It acts of hatred that aggravating folks, immaginate it
Pope lacerated though at last we made it through fractures
And grave pits finding hobbys to escape in
Mr. Rock and Peewee Dance practiced creating
Freestyle maneuvers that would later be known as breaking
Time Frame
One year after the Cold War
Political thought was captured in radical folklore
Nixon resigned in 1974
About the same time James Brown was on the Flames Tour
US left Vietnam and made off three years before
Scratching was discovered by Grand Wizard Theodore
July 1980 hip-hop's first national news story and on ABC
In 82 came the cd in 83 Ad the the Technics
SL 100 MK2 was released
DJs increased faster than folks knew the pa**ion was global
Three years prior the nuclear accident in Chernobyl
Businesses used COBAL and biophysics
Fused with robiotics in experiments back in 1986 too
Creating the vibe for me to demonstrate dope facts
Discussing debatable concepts to quote back
88 was so fat and that is a known fact
Self-destruction and yo mtv raps
Captured the inner city spirit you heard it and now you see it
Believe that it's reaching out representing the youth
Speaking out as a voice of the streets reaching out
Odds were evened out
We rap when it's hard to speak about things the local news were leaving out
Rhyme writers would feel it out out, speaking clout
Weaker speakers be seated deleted and weeded out
Political bouts leads to problems that's bleeded out
I'm teaching now so see me out
Insight's free to shout
Other's they deal in doubt
Remember that the worlds always under pressure and music can ease it out
Time Frame
Listen, crime and pain signs of the dying age
Time Frame
Check it, mind games designed to define fame
Time Frame
Liers reign, control and power is the prime aim
Time Frame
Rhyme games though the art is a crying shame
Time Frame
