Hip Hop reverence
verse 1
Dis dat Africa Bambata boom bap
Planet rock that left the earth’s core cracked,
Zulu Voo Doo thru yah blood stream surging with
Cold crush curses and Furious Five verses,
A Sugahill delight after Kool Herc’s anoint,
Funky 4 plus one, It’s the joint…
Earthquake speakers, that wild style flick,
The infamous, you don’t stop, you don’t quit”,
Vinyl being gripped with fingertip’s
Phrases being flipped in the mix, this was wax being ripped…
break beat-looped sample chemistry…
freestyling off the top of the head, nothing from memory,
Last Poet’s influenced the get down…
With Jamaican Toastin’ and funk from James Brown,
It birthed the scene and spread thru the parks,
Leaving all the city’s walls covered in graffiti art,

Verse 2
Dis Dat RUNDMC raising hell,
LL Cool J Rock the Bells,
Whodini trick’em, Fat Boys Stick’em
Shell toe Adidas with no shoe strings in’em
Pop-lock, up rock, flair your choice of weapon,
Linoleum battles, get served and keep steppin’
The B-Boy stance, the airbrush clothing,
Gazele glasses the “Yo bust this” slogan
Those kangol hats, those fat gold chains,
Slick rick the ruler, Dana Dane with fame,
Ghetto blasters with cassettes for love and respect,
Before the billboards and exec’s…
UTFO, Roxanne controversy,
Even females showed no mercy with no curtsey,
Shanta…Antoinette…MC Lyte…
Queen Latifa…Salt n’ Peppa, my mic sounds nice…

Verse 3
Dis Dat raw… Big Daddy Kane,
B-D-P my nine millimeter goes bang,
Eric B and Rakim I ain’t no joke,
Beastie Boys let me clear my throat…
Beatstreet, Breakin’…Fresh fest tours,
DMC dj’s Technique wars,
Rap City…Yo, MTV Raps…
Cali’s on the map, KDAY, Greg Mack…
L.A. Dream Team, Uncle Jam’s Army,
Skateland, World on wheels, Carolina parties
Egyptian Lover, Ice T, the world class Wreckin’ crew,
Toddy Tee, Spade, King Tee and DJ Pooh
Echoes of the classic “yes, yes, ya’ll”
Even Down south and mid west heard that call,
The 2 live crew, Schooly D, and Steady B
More Miami bass and ghetto hits for the streets

Verse 4
Dis Dat NWA f**k the police,
Rebel without a pause, public enemy,
Geto boys my mind playing tricks on me,
DR. DRE, Snoop Dog, green chronic leaf,
Red, black, green, X-Clan, PRT,
EPMD, Gangstarr, M.O.P.
E40, Too Short, BONE thugs-N-harmony,
UGK, Eight ball and MJG…
De La…Tribe…Busta Rhymes…Brand Nubee..
Cypress Hill, Outkast, Wu Tang, Fugees…
2Pac against the world, Nas Illmatic,
B. I…ready to die on repeat status,
Please Consider this an incomplete list,
So if I didn’t shout out yah name it’s no dis,
