My Philosophy - Boogie Down Productions (KRS-One)

[verse one]

Let's begin / what where why or when

will all be explained why destruction is a game

see I'm not insane in fact I'm kind of rational

when I be asking you who is more dramatical

this one that one / the white one or the black one

pick the punk and I'll jump up to attack one

KRS One is just the guy to lead a crew

right up to your face and dis you

everyone saw me on the last album cover

holding a pistol something far from a lover

beside my brother / S-C-O-T

I just laughed 'cause no one can defeat me

this selection number two is "My Philosophy"

number one / was "Poetry" you know it's me

it's my philosophy many artists got to learn

I'm not flammable / I don't burn

so please stop burnin' and learn to earn respect

'cause that's just what KR collects

see, what do you expect when you rhyme like a soft punk

you walk down the street and get jumped

you got to have style / and learn to be original

and everybody's gonna wanna dis you

like me / we stood up for the South Bronx

and every sucka mc had a response

you think we care? / I know that they are on the tip

my posse from the Bronx is thick

and we're real live / we walk correctly

a lot of suckas would like to forget me

but they can't 'cause like a champ I have got a record

of knocking out the frauds in a second

on the mic I believe that you should get loose

I haven't come to tell you I have juice

I just produce, create, innovate on a higher level

I'll be back but for now just seckle

[verse two]

I'll play the nine and you play the target

you all know my name so I guess I'll just start it

or should I say, "Start this" / I am an artist

of new concepts at their hardest

yo, cause I'm a teacher and Scot is a scholar

it ain't about money cause we all make dollars

that's why / I walk with my head up

when I hear wack rhymes I get fed up

rap is like a set-up / a lot of games

a lot of suckas with colorful names

I'm so-and-so / I'm this / I'm that

huh, but they all just wick-wick-wack

I'm not white or red or black / I'm brown

from the Boogie Down

Productions of course / our music be thumpin'

others say their bad but they're buggin

let me tell you somethin' now about hip hop

about D-Nice, Melodie, and Scot La Rock

I'll get a pen, a pencil, a marker

mainly what I write is for the average New Yorker

some mc's be talkin' and talkin'

tryin' to show how black people are walkin

but I don't walk this way to portray

or reinforce / stereotypes of today

like all my brothas eatin' chicken and watermelon

talk broken english and drug sellin'

see I'm tellin' / and teaching real facts

now when some act in rap is kind of wack

and it lacks, creativity and intelligence

but they don't care 'cause the company is sellin' it

it's my philosophy / on the industry

don't bother dissin' me / or even wish that we'd

soften, dilute, or commercialize all our lyrics

'cause it's about time one of y'all hear it

first-hand from the intelligent brown man

a vegetarian, no goat or ham

or chicken or turkey or hamburger

'cause to me that's suicide, self-murder

let us get back to what we call hip hop

and what it meant to DJ Scot La Rock...

[verse three]

How many mc's must get dissed

before somebody says, "Don't f*** with Kris!"

this is just one style / out of many

like a piggy bank this is one penny

my brother's name is Kenny, Kenny Parker

my other brother I.C.U. is much darker

Boogie Down Productions is made up of teachers

the lecture is conducted from the mic into the speaker

who gets weaker? the king or the teacher

it's not about a salary it's all about reality

teachers teach and do the world good

kings just rule and most are never understood

if you were to rule over a certain industry

all inside the room right now would be in misery

no one would get along / nor sing a song

'cause everyone'd be singing for the king am I wrong?!

so yo, what's up, it's me again

Scot La Rock, KRS, BDP again

many people had the nerve to think we would end the trend

we're criminal minded / and only tend

funky, funky, funky, funky, funky hit records

no more than four minutes and some seconds

the competition checks and checks and keeps checkin'

they get the album take it home and start sweatin'

why? well it's simple / to them it's kind of vital

to take KRS-One's title

to them I'm like an idol / some type of entity

in everybody's rhyme they wanna mention me?

or rather mention us me or Scot La Rock

but they can get bust, get robbed, get dropped

I don't play around nor do I f*** around

and you can tell by the bodies that are left around

when some clown jumps up to get beat down

broken down to his very last compound

see how it sound? a little unrational

a lot of mc's like to use the word DRAMATICAL!

Fresh for '88 you suckas...

Favorite as of now is tied between Lloyd Banks' I'm so Fly, and Jadakiss's Why.

My favorite of all time is Changes by Tupac.

You could do a bootleg called why am i so fly :cry: and then put megadeth (not metallica this time, gotta be original ;)) riffs on top of it and call it the megablackbankissdeath mix

I don't really have 1 favorite rap song, but here are a few:

Lost Boyz - 1,2,3

Lost Boyz - Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimas and Benz

Tupac - Ghost

Kottonmouth Kings - 4-2-0

Beat Nutz - My Own

Kanye West (the whole College Dropout Album) :)

Let's see, theres...and...and...

Oh that's right, I don't listen to Rap music. A bit too hard to follow and I like music that doesn't always consist of womens body parts, getting paid and drinking gin and juice.

I did listen to some LL Cool J once and it was okay.

if you don't listen to rap, i don't see why you're posting in here saying that it sucks(there's been a couple of posts like this), you're obviously just trying to start an argument or just trying to increase your post count, I just wanted to say i find this very annoying and unnecessary.

Thanx,

Nigel.

I'm shocked that no one has mentioned:

2PAC - So many tears; but that's just one of my many favorites. It's like Lay's chips... ;)

Also on my list:

2PAC - Dear Mama

Too Short - I Don't Stop Rappin'

Too Short - Short but Funky

Too Short - I'm a player

E-40 - Mr. Flamboyant

E-40 - 1 luv

Brotha Lynch Hung - Season of da sicc

Ice Cube - Jackin' for beats

... I'll stop now otherwise I'll end up with several pages!

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
