说唱天王天后 今日在此聚首 [00:28.57]Go together like treble and bass
高音枪击低音炮轰 gogogo [00:30.69] [00:30.87]Music’s meaning is more than the words, it’s the feeling
所谓良心音乐 不光歌词更要感觉 [00:33.56]The passion, the soul, writing late in the evenings
灵魂热情不灭 创作直到深夜 [00:36.41]It breathes in the records like turn to the ceiling
鲜活的唱片 余音绕梁的体验 [00:38.87]Motivated dreaming, back to what believing
我们讴歌梦想 也不忘掉信仰 [00:41.56]It’s been in hearts, on tracks in vain
歌词深入人心 贯穿脉络无尽 [00:44.14]It’s seen in awe on graff on trains
但凡水陆所及 我们大名鼎鼎 [00:46.70]The media try to attack its name
媒体天天哔哔 黑得不够过瘾 [00:49.24]But the realness can’t be attached to fame
敢讲不图好听 说唱才受欢迎 [00:51.82]But who am I to say what hip-hop is?
不过我算老几 下啥说唱定义 [00:54.56]Hip-hop was before Paradox lived
投胎不够争气 痛失绝佳先机 [00:57.15]Before Yo! MTV Raps got big
说唱红遍电视 我们还未面世 [00:59.68]When the soul and the words was what made hop hits
那时说唱出奇 灵魂写手执笔 [01:02.38]DJs rock kicks after digging in the crates
DJ干完苦力 晚上照样嗨皮 [01:04.83]Now we’re living in an age where the rhythm is misplaced
现在这个年代 节奏混乱错拍 [01:07.52]It’s all about the chains, the millions you make
物欲迷乱人眼 说唱刷新下限 [01:10.13]So I sit back, imagine as I listen to the greats
不如默默吃瓜 幻想名嘴在家 [01:12.72] [01:12.93]Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
无病呻吟之词 有人奉为圭臬 [01:16.64]It’s real hip-hop
这是真说唱没毛病 [01:18.57]Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
一派胡言之作 有人信以为真 [01:21.71]What’s it worth?
有什么意义吗 [01:23.27] [01:23.64]Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
陈词滥调之说 有人不厌其烦 [01:27.19]It’s real hip-hop
这就是真说唱 [01:28.63]Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
乌合之众 我无一苟同 [01:30.77]Some say it’s still the same, it ain’t that
商业垃圾 岂能同日而语 [01:33.17] [01:33.67]It’s the authentic, all the time prolific, lyrical extraordinaire
正宗说唱数不胜数 情真意切发自肺腑 [01:39.03]Got rhymes to share, to educate the masses
说可启迪民众 唱有韵律万种 [01:41.64]Toasting the realness, raise your glasses
高举手中酒杯 致敬敞开心扉 [01:44.48]Never underestimate the movement
绝不低估行动的力量 [01:46.86]Always keeping my ear to the pavement
时刻聆听身边的声响 [01:49.74]That’s what the pioneers did back then
说唱鼻祖不搞混音 [01:52.01]Before they had two 12s making the blend
照样凭此款款精品 [01:54.59]No emails to send, only word of mouth
不玩邮箱 出口成章 [01:57.28]Seems that real hip-hop is in a drought
今日嘻哈 江河日下 [01:59.98]Critics kept saying that it wouldn’t last
从来不乏闲言碎语 断言说唱不会延续 [02:02.56]Through the years it persevered and made cash
然而经年累月 商机不断发掘 [02:05.28]Somehow it grew up too fast
只是火候过头 [02:07.92]Matured incorrectly, evidently
早衰源于早熟 [02:10.66]Now it’s time to do my thing
现在该我出镜 完成未竟使命 [02:13.11]With ill flows and vibes that I bring no doubt
直面恶意风评 唤起心底共鸣 [02:15.94] [02:16.15]Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
泥沙俱下 难辨真伪 [02:19.15]It’s real hip-hop
这说唱厉害 [02:21.03]Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
鱼目混珠 不明觉厉 [02:24.63]What’s it worth?
可价值何在 [02:25.91] [02:26.20]Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
所谓嘻哈 还一如既往吗 [02:29.96]It’s real hip-hop
如假包换 [02:31.48]Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
所谓嘻哈 别无二致吗 [02:33.75]Now let’s take a sec to think back
那你不妨想想他们 [02:35.92] [02:36.42]Gangstarr
Gang Starr [02:39.03]JD [02:41.64]Common Sense [02:44.25]Large Pro

上帝之子 [02:49.35]Pete Rock [02:52.01]Tribe Called Quest
A Tribe Called Quest [02:54.70]KRS was number one
KRS-One [02:56.27] [03:18.03]Just being in here
光是这样说 [03:20.07]Is a humbling experience to me
已经够让我自惭形秽了 [03:21.29]Because you’re looking through all these records
你们看到的这些鼻祖的唱片 [03:24.09]And it’s sort of like a big pile of broken dreams in a way
某种程度上可以说是他们平生梦想碎片的堆砌 [03:27.56]Almost none of these artists still have a
以上提到的这些嘻哈名嘴 可以说 [03:29.71]A career, really
职业生涯基本都结束了 真的 [03:31.43]Ten years down the line you’ll be in here
十年后嘻哈新人们也都会是这样 [03:33.31]So keep that in mind when you start thinking like
所以到那个时候 就这样想吧： [03:37.05]“Oh yeah, I’m invincible and I’m the
“没错 我是过气了 不过 [03:38.82]I’m the world’s best or whatever
我还是全世界最好的嘻哈歌手 管他呢 [03:40.49]Because that’s what all these cats thought
反正喜欢我的爵士乐迷也都这么觉着 这就够了”
