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!

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
