Evolution 04:01
lyrics
The question remains. Whuss goin on wit Hip-Hop nowadayz Rap artists don’ appreciate them Cultural thangs Them youngbloodz gittin played by the A&Rs n’labels Sign a contract, cuz yo check iz onna table… N they do! Wishin on a supastar moment But this swag shit got’em so blind - dey be far from it I can try to put maselv in oldtimers boots Way back inna dayz when oldskool had a juice MCz… dey used to have talent n style Had a fresh rhyme dat’ make the crowd goin’ wild At tha club, at the park, (inna) mornin’ whether afterdark Onna beatbox, acapella, unplugged. Dey started to put alotta work in a musik To make it so original n’ bring sumthin’ new to it Dey kept on movin’ so tha fresh became fat Juice became a flava, and a freestyle became rap The same time when a trueskool wuz forming industry starts to snatchin’ representativez off the corners ceremonymastaz turning to a product studio producers make’em look like dey all brothers Word to mutha, flow n’skillz ain’ even matter the bigga the swagga the betta the rapper - so whuteva! And whut We have at the end of a Golden Age Lab digital rappers hu neva saw a stage? Whutta shame! This music be losin MCz Evolution u’ll say, but do we need it like this? Think about it… do we really need it like this?

Not That Way 03:44
lyrics
Dey sayin Golden Age is gone so we movin’ on We change tha industry n’ bring it to the newest form Come on… iz U furreal thought U got it Bust the fact dat the industry iz fludded by the cheap product N’ everybuddy wanna ack like he’z tryinna swag But this fashion ass rappaz braggin, plus dey sound wack Or even beta while a track’z playin’ on a back Dey open mowf like that fish onna cookers deck I luw Hip-Hop becuz it’s live onna scene But them nuwadayz MCz forgot tha meanin’ of an emceein’ DJz forgot aboutta scratchin n’ samplin’ Breakaz wanna separate, writers gotta same plan I understand all the soloist ambitions But the part ov sumthan great iz a simple humanbein’ wishin So U can gain a recognition ov a hundreds But miss the million fans ov Hip-Hop, leave’em hungry I disagree witta ones hu said it’s dyin Cuz I feed them deep roots from ma source dat iz not dryin So why U tryinna push a Culture to a grave It’s officially not that way… knowumsayin’

Quality Control 03:22
lyrics
MCing iz not only speakin those dumb ass rhymes dat u wrote about yo hard life inna hood, knowumsayin? Rappaz are phony! Ya’ll can take it as a testimony (I would) suw that bastards claimin dey be Mastas of a Ceremony Ya betta show me why dey callin’ U MC Cause I ain’ seein nuthan dat’ll prove dat U really be I’ve heard yo demo but it soundz like a millon I betcha frends be postin datcha shine like a brilliant U betta chill man! Cuz youTube iz laughin Like “oh, my God, iz he furreal thinks dat he’z rappin” Tha first problem. it’s a music datcha can’t hear Fuck a bear ya gotta elephant on yo both ears As U appear at the stage – I be bouncing Cuz U forgot tha half alphabet datcha ain’t pronouncing Hey yo, Um nut even try to diss yo topics most ov’em I heard n’ dis ain’t nuttin but a cheap copies N’ I’ll be damm if u know a lil’ sumthan Ov a Culture dat this music be the rhythm ov a heart pumpin No doubt ‘em rappaz just need sumbuddy to tell’em Dat representin meanz feelin’ and sum born talent U cant sell it! It’s more than your record deal Tha rap needs a quality control to keep it real!

Not Enuff Fans 03:23
lyrics
Chorus: To all them breakaz, to all them DJz Them beatboxers, MCz onna stage Graffiti writerz, tell me whuss tha plan How U gonna represent… without bein a fan. Verse: D.E.C. … n’ I fed up wit that shit like Big L wuz them half ass rappaz tryin 2 act like they (be) famous if u sa nameless – dey be ignorin n’ I saw ‘em only at the partys where dey be performin The else is borin’. But here’s ta question buddy How U gonna be respected if U don’ respect nobody? Nuw U be shoutin one love but ya need help Cause all U keep is one love to your one self Man, u dumm, def n’ blind to the history So Hip-Hop to U it ain’t tha same whut it meanz to me Seemz to be - rappaz lost flava How many jams did u heard like dis, dey all ma favourite We keep it classic but appreciate them basics mad salutations to tha peeps hu built tha Foundations Zulu Nation, Rocksteady, Buzy Bee Herc, Master Flash n’ the rest of them pioneers Hip-hop needs representatives hu love it Dhose hu havin’ fun at tha same time when sprayin knowledge Withoutta doubt I take a Culture as a unit Cuz Um nut a person fan – Uma fan ov the Movement

What's It to U 03:33
lyrics
Dey say Hip-Hop in UA is fo them kids n’ Um not wondered Cause 85 percent ov rappaz iz 20 o’ younger Most ov ‘em sure dat rap iz not a black music A lot ov ‘em sure dat first group wus G-Unit… Dat Hip-Hop meanz rap, and a rap is hustle But hustle meanz G, so dat be tha whole puzzle Whut U thought? Dat Hip-Hop iz gansta? Lemme axe U couple questions dat’ll put them facts against ya. Where do U think Hip-Hop started? Why MCz be proud of Bein born in a South Bronx n’ dey loud about it? Hu was tha man dat gave a name to dis movement? How many years it took to make a product dat U now consuming? Why do they call a b-boy as b-boy? Whut’s tha difference between graffiti writer n’ a toy? Who put The Zulu Nation all over the map But nah, U won’t need none ov that, cuz U know rap U saw rappaz gittin mo than U can imagine But while’em chillin Culture keeps on loosin legends U really think it’s all about gittin drunk Smokin lye, blastin music, fuckin virgins in a backtrunk I know whuss Hip-Hop to me so I show n’ prove But tha question iz: whuss it to U ???
