Kawann Shockley - The Eraz Of Flow (Remix) lyrics

O'hene: Listen to this lesson on the eras of flow. Let Him be praised I'm chillin', I got a lot of tricks It's like Hammer, they put me in the mix It's cool MC O on the microphone And my syntax under microscopes This is how they rhymed back in '81 Sporting Kangols, having crazy fun Now this was the flow for the longest time And then they proceeded to speed it up before '89 To something sort of like this they would spit making it quick When Naughty By Nature arrived you would notice a tempo switch To something more intricate in a sense went up a notch If you an emcee thinking I'm lying, try this off the top Let's go, you see that break and how I said ‘let's go' That's characteristic of that era's type of record For the next level was called the stutter Remember that that was bu*ter A couple of emcees doubled and troubled them paces like none other If you can recall the diggity Das EFX and then Schick Fu The severity of that period's dexterity, you would'a knew But then people like Snoop slowed it down You would'a swore that they had that older sound It wasn't old school, it wasn't new school either See ‘cause that flow that came in between ‘em And this is the flow that you mainly hear The mid tempo's been going on for ten years In between that, we've seen cats like Bone Thugs Shown love ‘cause their flow was another type stutter but Study this rhyme, try to master each era When you do your flows, you'll also be mirrored With the true emcees ‘cause now you'll see clearer How to be a microphone terror
