My Philosophy - Boogie Down Productions[00:00:00]
So, you're a philosopher?[00:00:00]
Yes, I think very deeply.[00:00:02]
Let's begin, what, where, why, or when[00:00:26]
will all be explained like instructions to a game[00:00:29]
See I'm not insane, in fact, I'm kind of rational[00:00:32]
when I be asking you, "Who is more dramatical?"[00:00:34]
This one or that one, the white one or the black one[00:00:37]
pick the punk, and I'll jump up to attack one[00:00:39]
KRS-One is just the guy to lead a crew[00:00:42]
right up to your face and dis you[00:00:45]
Everyone saw me on the last album cover[00:00:47]
Holding a pistol something far from a lover[00:00:50]
Beside my brother, S-C-O-T-T[00:00:52]
I just laughed, cause no one can defeat me[00:00:55]
This is lecture number two, "My Philosophy"[00:00:58]
Number one, was "Poetry" you know it's me[00:01:00]
This is my philosophy, many artists got to learn[00:01:02]
I'm not flammable, I don't burn[00:01:05]
so please stop burnin, and learn to earn respect[00:01:07]
'cause that's just what KR collects[00:01:10]
see, what do you expect when you rhyme like a soft punk[00:01:13]
you walk down the street and get jumped[00:01:16]
You got to have style, and learn to be original[00:01:18]
and everybody's gonna wanna diss you[00:01:21]
like me, we stood up for the South Bronx[00:01:23]
and every sucka mc had a response[00:01:26]
You think we care? I know that they are on the tip[00:01:28]
my posse from the Bronx is thick[00:01:31]
and we're real live, we walk correctly[00:01:33]
a lot of suckas would like to forget me[00:01:36]
but they can't, cause like a champ[00:01:38]
I have got a record of knocking out the frauds in a second[00:01:40]
on the mic, I believe that you should get loose[00:01:43]
I haven't come to tell you I have juice[00:01:46]
I just produce, create, innovate on a higher level[00:01:48]
I'll be back, but for now just seckle![00:01:51]
I'll play the nine and you play the target[00:02:04]
you all know my name so I guess I'll just start it[00:02:06]
or should I say, "Start this," I am an artist[00:02:09]
of new concepts at their hardest[00:02:11]
cause, yo, I'm a teacher and Scott is a scholar[00:02:14]
It ain't about money cause we all make dollars[00:02:16]
That's why I walk with my head up[00:02:19]
when I hear wack rhymes I get fed up[00:02:21]
Rap is like a set-up, a lot of games[00:02:24]
a lot of suckas with colorful names[00:02:27]
I'm so-and-so, I'm this, I'm that[00:02:29]
huh, but they all just wick-wick-wack[00:02:32]
I'm not white or red or black[00:02:35]
I'm brown. from the Boogie Down[00:02:37]
Productions, of course our music be thumpin'[00:02:39]
others say their bad, but they're buggin[00:02:42]
let me tell you somethin' now about hip hop[00:02:45]
about D-Nice, Melodie, and Scott La Rock[00:02:47]
I'll get a pen, a pencil, a marker[00:02:50]
mainly what I write is for the average New Yorker[00:02:52]
some mc's be talkin' and talkin'[00:02:55]
tryin' to show how black people are walkin[00:02:57]
but I don't walk this way to portray[00:03:00]
or reinforce stereotypes of today[00:03:02]
like all my brothas eat chicken and watermelon[00:03:05]
talk broken english and drug sellin'[00:03:10]
See I'm tellin, and teaching real facts[00:03:11]
The way some act in rap is kind of wack[00:03:12]
and it lacks creativity and intelligence[00:03:16]
but they don't care cause the company is sellin' it[00:03:18]
It's my philosophy, on the industry[00:03:20]
Don't bother dissin me, or even wish that we'd[00:03:23]
soften, dilute, or commercialize all our lyrics[00:03:25]
Cause it's about time one of y'all hear it[00:03:28]
And hear it first-hand from the intelligent brown man[00:03:31]
A vegetarian, no goat or ham[00:03:33]
or chicken or turkey or hamburger[00:03:36]
'cause to me that's suicide self-murder[00:03:38]
let us get back to what we call hip hop[00:03:41]
and what it meant to DJ Scott La Rock...[00:03:44]
How many mc's must get dissed[00:03:56]
before somebody says, "Don't f*** with Kris!"[00:03:58]
this is just one style, out of many[00:04:01]
Like a piggy bank, this is one penny[00:04:04]
My brother's name is Kenny - that's, Kenny Parker[00:04:06]
My other brother I.C.U. is much darker[00:04:09]
Boogie Down Productions is made up of teachers[00:04:11]
the lecture is conducted from the mic into the speaker[00:04:14]
Who gets weaker? The king or the teacher[00:04:16]
It's not about a salary it's all about reality[00:04:19]
Teachers teach and do the world good[00:04:22]
kings just rule and most are never understood[00:04:24]
If you were to rule or govern a certain industry[00:04:27]
All inside this room right now would be in misery[00:04:29]
No one would get along nor sing a song[00:04:32]
'cause everyone'd be singing for the king, am I wrong?![00:04:34]
So yo, what's up, it's me again[00:04:37]
Scott La Rock, KRS, BDP again[00:04:40]
many people had the nerve to think we would end the trend[00:04:42]
We're criminal minded, an album which is only ten[00:04:45]
Funky, funky, funky, funky, funky hit records[00:04:47]
no more than four minutes and some seconds[00:04:50]
the competition checks and checks and keeps checkin'[00:04:52]
they buy the album, take it home, and start sweatin'[00:04:55]
why? well it's simple, to them it's kind of vital[00:04:57]
to take KRS-One's title[00:05:00]
to them I'm like an idol, some type of entity[00:05:02]
in everybody's rhyme they wanna mention me?[00:05:05]
or rather mention us, me or Scott La Rock[00:05:08]
but they can get bust get robbed, get dropped[00:05:10]
I don't play around nor do I f*** around[00:05:13]
and you can tell by the bodies that are left around[00:05:15]
when some clown jumps up to get beat down[00:05:18]
broken down to his very last compound[00:05:21]
see how it sounds? a little unrational[00:05:23]
a lot of mc's like to use the word DRAMATICAL![00:05:26]
Fresh for '88, you suckas...[00:05:28]
