00:00So, you're a philosopher?
00:02Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
00:06I think very deeply. I think very deeply. I think very deeply.
00:21In about four seconds, a teacher will begin to speak.
00:25Huh. Let us begin. What, where, why, or when?
00:30We'll all be explained like instructions to a game.
00:32See, I'm not insane. In fact, I'm kind of rational.
00:35When I be asking you, who is more dramatical?
00:37This one or that one? The white one or the black one?
00:40Pick the punk and I'll jump up to attack one.
00:43KRS1 is just the guy to lead a crew.
00:46Right up to your face and diss you.
00:48Everyone saw me on the last album cover.
00:50Holding a pistol, something far from a lover,
00:53Beside my brother. S-C-O-T-T.
00:56I just laugh. Cause no one can defeat me.
00:58This is lecture number two, my philosophy.
01:01Number one was poetry. You know it's me.
01:03This is my philosophy. Many artists gotta learn.
01:06I'm not flammable. I don't burn.
01:08So please stop burning and learn to earn respect.
01:11Cause that's just what KR collects.
01:13See, what do you expect when you rhyme like a soft punk?
01:16You walk down the street and get jumped.
01:18You got to have style and learn to be original.
01:21And everybody's gonna wanna diss you.
01:23Like me. We stood up for the South Bronx.
01:26And every sucker MC had a response.
01:28You think we care? I know that they are on the tip.
01:31My posse from the Bronx is thick.
01:33In real, real life, we roll correctly.
01:36A lot of suckers would like to forgive me, but they can't.
01:39Cause like a champ, I have got a record.
01:41Of knocking out the frauds in a second.
01:43On the mic, I believe that you should get loose.
01:46I haven't come to tell you I got juice.
01:48I just produce, create, innovate on a higher level.
01:51I'll be back, but for now, just sickle.
01:58In about four seconds, a teacher will begin to speak.
02:02I'll play the nine and you play the target.
02:06You all know my name, so I guess I'll just start it.
02:09Or should I say start this?
02:10Teach and I'm the artist.
02:12Styles and new concepts at their hardest, yo.
02:15Cause I'm a teacher and Scott is a scholar.
02:17It ain't about money cause we all make dollars.
02:20That's why I walk with my head up.
02:22When I hear whack rhymes, I get fed up.
02:25Rap is like a set up.
02:26A lot of games.
02:28A lot of suckers with colorful names.
02:30I'm so and so.
02:31I'm this, I'm that, huh.
02:33But they all just wick, wick, whack.
02:35I'm not white or red or black.
02:37I'm brown.
02:38From the Boogie Down.
02:40Productions, of course.
02:41Our music be thumpin'.
02:43Others say they're bad, but they're buggin'.
02:45Let me show you something now about hip-hop.
02:48About D-Nice, Melody, and Scotland Rock.
02:50I'll get a pen, a pencil, a marker.
02:53Mainly what I write is for the average New Yorker.
02:55Some MCs be talkin' and talkin'.
02:58Trying to show how black people are walkin'.
03:00But I don't walk this way to portray or reinforce stereotypes of today.
03:05Like all my brothers eat chicken and watermelon.
03:08Talk broken English and drug sellin'.
03:11See I'm tellin' and teachin' pure facts.
03:13The way some act in rap is kinda whack and it lacks.
03:16Creativity and intelligence.
03:18But they don't care cause their company's sellin' it.
03:21It's my philosophy.
03:22On the industry.
03:23Don't bother dissing me.
03:25Or even wishing we'd soften, dilute, or commercialize all the lyrics.
03:29Cause it's about time one of y'all hear it.
03:31And hear it first hand from an intelligent brown man.
03:34A vegetarian.
03:35No goat or ham.
03:37Or chicken or turkey or hamburger.
03:39Cause to me that suicide self-murder let us get back to what we call hip-hop.
03:44And what it meant to DJ Scott LaRock.
03:47In about 4 seconds a teacher will begin to speak.
03:54How many MCs must get dissed?
03:59Before somebody says don't fuck with Chris.
04:02This is just one style.
04:04Out of many.
04:05Like a piggy bank.
04:06This is one penny.
04:07My brother's name is Kenny.
04:09That's Kenny Parker.
04:10My other brother ICU is much darker.
04:12Boogie Down Productions is made up of teachers.
04:15The lecture is conducted from the mic into the speaker.
04:17Who gets weaker?
04:18The king or the teacher?
04:20It's not about a salary.
04:21It's all about reality.
04:22Teachers teach and do the world good.
04:25Kings just rule and most are never understood.
04:27If you were to rule or govern a certain industry.
04:30All inside this room right now would be in misery.
04:33No one would sing a song or get along.
04:35Cause everyone be singing for the king.
04:37Am I wrong?
04:38I say yo.
04:39What's up?
04:40It's me again.
04:41Scott LaRock, KRS, BDP again.
04:43And many people have the nerve to think that we would end the trend.
04:46With Criminal Minded.
04:47An album which is only 10.
04:48Funky, funky, funky, funky, funky hit records.
04:51No more than 4 minutes and some seconds.
04:53The competition checks and checks and keeps checking.
04:56They take the album, take it home and start sweating.
04:58Why?
04:59Well it's simple.
05:00To them it's kind of vital.
05:01To take care of someone's title.
05:03To them I'm like an idol.
05:05Some type of entity.
05:06In everybody's realm they want to mention me.
05:09Or rather mention us.
05:10Me and Scott LaRock.
05:11But they can get bust, get robbed, get dropped.
05:14I don't play around nor do I F around.
05:16And you can tell by the bodies that are left around.
05:19When some clown jumps up to get beat down.
05:22Broken down to his very last compound.
05:24See how it sounds?
05:25A little unrational.
05:26A lot of MCs like to use the word dramatical.
05:29Fresh.
05:30For 88.
05:31You suckas.
