00:00Wait till I saw the sun. I don't know why, I don't know why I didn't come.

00:11Back before Eminem was Slim Shady, this is how the kids would get crazy.

00:17After Cool Herc made the first loops out of breakbeats from the vinyl,

00:22then Bam and Flash hit those park jams. It was so exciting.

00:28Inciting MCs to come and riff along. Even dancers and the taggers would get in on.

00:34You see they have been fighting, gang banging, stather hanging slanging phrases to great hits.

00:40Missed the creativity it demonstrated how to get down without the help of paper chasers.

00:45Until the major players did come around. It was at this point that the game had caught the industry bug to get it plugged.

00:52As it was, over the next twenty to thirty years, there was some copying with still lyrics in your air.

00:59Seems 2015 to 2020, real hip hop went underground and left the city. Pity.

01:05I reminisce over Cold Crush, Treacherous Three, Spoody G, Busy Bee, BDP, Kumo Dee, Run DMC, Juice Crew.

01:16Right there is no exhaustive list. All the old MCs taught me this. Precious.

01:22Now I only support those with merit. Who's got the NBC like Dilla on some tear shit.

01:27Who knows how to scare parents till their hair split at their ends.

01:31I wouldn't be here without the old school.

01:34So I thought it only fitting to make an ode to you and include some nude dudes that I just met.

01:41Oracle Cap Jones on some tough shit. Holy Ghost Cher Rhymes on some other shit.

01:47Evolution Day XL, that's some across the pond-ish.

01:50To be honest, maybe the rest don't show love to me cause they don't want to feel like they owe stuff to me.

01:56But look, you paid me back and then some. Cause you used your true gifts and did something.

02:02And not something like work for a corporation. I'm talking making some fresh soul exploration.

02:09That's real, it's real. Yes it's really. It's really.
