00:34A lot of jams we did change rap, you know what I'm saying, with the message, the style of music
00:38we use, and the lyrics.
00:46We took the, you know, little small, small sections of the records and cut it back and forth and extended
00:52it to like maybe a 15-20 minute segment.
00:55And in turn, the rappers would just rap over it, so that's where, you know, we got the term, you
00:59know, rapping over the, you know, over the various beats.
01:02It was like, you know, just like the natives playing on the drums, but we found our own drums to
01:06play with, and we call them turntables.
01:09And this is part two, what we used to do, and it goes a little something like...
01:33Rap records were very, very experimental.
01:35So nobody knew what they was going to do, nobody even knew what this whole, you know, phenomenon or this
01:41music was even, where it was going to go, who was going to buy it or anything.
01:45So they would just have to go in the studio and cut these records real quick, very cheaply.
01:50The first legitimate rap record was Rapper's Delight, which came out in 1979.
01:57The production techniques those days were different, not at all what you think of when you think of a rap
02:01recorder.
02:03You see, I am Wonder Mike, and I'd like to say hello.
02:06I'm to the black, to the white, to the red, and the brown.
02:12I think nowadays what's happened, instead of rap having a different style, I think rappers just eating everything up.
02:18Stop, check it out, my man. This is the music of a hip-hop band.
02:22I remember Run saying a long time ago that it's not the music, it's the rap, that we can rap
02:27on top of anything.
02:29Bringing speed in all the listeners' ears, fulfilling the needs and planting the seeds of a jazz band.
02:35And I think that we've taken chances nowadays to do more of that.
02:39Rapping is fundamental.
02:45Taking chances creates change in the music.
02:48To put it simply, our music is going from a live band to a basic beat,
02:52all the way to a producer's medium of complicated, rich samples with a sophistication of sound.
03:05We didn't use keyboards.
03:08We didn't use bass players or guitar players, and that's what's been used on a lot of the records before.
03:15Our records consisted of nothing but records.
03:18This is a string track.
03:24And as you can hear, it's being looped.
03:30Thus, you know, it's giving me that sound that I'm hearing in the background that's filling up in.
03:45We're paced-up artists, so we have to take snippets from records and place it in strategic parts
03:51to make it fit and sound and glue the record together.
04:00The whole hip-hop music scene is a revolution.
04:03And it is changing the sound of so many different music forms.
04:08I mean, drum machines, I hear breakbeats and rock songs these days.
04:12Yeah.
04:12You know?
04:13And they're not just the music.
04:14I mean, it's a whole culture.
04:16Don't you call this a regular jam?
04:18I'm gonna rock this land.
04:20I'm gonna take this city-bitty world by storm.
04:23And I'm just getting warm.
04:25Hip-hop is constantly on the edge.
04:27And in the last couple of years, the mainstream has come running to us searching for the latest
04:30looking sounds, from commercials to TV shows to major feature films.
04:34We do it all.
04:36And roll.
04:37Three, four.
04:38I like this right in you.
04:40Hey, yo, kid.
04:42Where's the party?
04:44I'm having some success in the rapping field, the gold album, and the like.
04:47I think we're at the point now where we're constantly looking to expand.
04:50You all wanted to know what the good life is.
04:52That's how when we expanded our, um, to movies, uh, we have a television series.
04:56You know, it's the type of thing where we just don't want to limit our scope.
04:59Damn, look at this thing.
05:00I know.
05:00Doesn't this look like that Darth Vader-looking thing we took over the dead Romeos last month?
05:03That's right, yeah.
05:04I represent the urban youth of America, ladies and gentlemen, and it's nice for the urban
05:07youth of America to be represented by a man who's playing the role of an undercover
05:11cop in a major motion picture.
05:13So what's he catch?
05:14I don't want to act and be Ice-T.
05:16I want to be a character.
05:18And I think the farthest stretch you can take me is to make me a police officer, because
05:23I hate the police.
05:24So you're in or out?
05:26I'm in, man.
05:27Acting?
05:29I felt like a fish out of water, but I caught on.
05:31And then y'all look over there, all right?
05:33Because it's back there.
05:35It's different from making records, of course.
05:37From making records, I'm the quarterback.
05:39Now I guess I'm just like a running back or a tight end, because I'm waiting for the director
05:43to tell me which way to go.
05:49My impression of the male rappers today, speaking on the amount of respect that they give women
05:55or not, is pretty much on a scale from one to ten.
05:59Zero.
06:08We need to change these bad impressions.
06:10Women in rap are defining what we want to be perceived as, instead of having it dictated
06:15to us by males.
06:16We're showing that we can be positive and still come out in Slammer J.
06:30Hopefully our music can affect change.
06:32While we're making our impact, there is another movement of rappers that reflects the growing
06:37dissatisfaction of life in the inner city.
06:42It's MC Ice 2, you know what I'm saying?
06:44Cold Lounge, you know?
06:46I'm here to let you know one thing, homies.
06:48Rap is kicking it hard with lyrics that leave nothing to the imagination, you know what I'm
06:52saying?
06:52Some people call it gangster rap.
06:54Other people call it hardcore.
06:55But the message is plain and simple.
06:57Young black brothers ain't having it easy.
07:00It's time to let people know.
07:04All you got to do now is press the same.
07:12People always come up to us, why y'all call yourself niggas, you know?
07:14Putting down a black race and all this, you know?
07:17We tell them, no matter what you do, people still gonna look at you as a niggas.
07:21And you're a niggas, so a niggas for life.
07:23Till you die.
07:27You know, I got a friend named T-Bone.
07:28He got killed.
07:30And I had talked to him just a day before it happened.
07:36It hit me.
07:37You know, and I got too many, I got too many dead homes.
07:40Too many.
07:41So that's why Ice Cube's dressed up.
07:44Cause the city is so damn messed up.
07:47And everybody's so phony.
07:49Take a little time.
07:51To think about your dead home.
07:54So I wanted to do a song like, a tribute to them.
07:58And to open up some eyes, you know what I'm saying?
08:00Cause you never know when your family's on the front row crying and you in the cast.
08:04In the streets of New York, dope fiends are winning for morphine.
08:08The T-B screen follow the homicide scenes.
08:11A'ight, check this out.
08:12East Coast rappers may not rap about gang violence, you know what I'm saying?
08:16But they still got an attitude that reflects realities of street life.
08:19And it's still hardcore.
08:21Dope.
08:22I came to overcome before I'm gone.
08:24By showing and proving and letting ours be born.
08:26We still gonna reach the people in the streets.
08:28That's what we try to get to.
08:30You know what I'm saying?
08:30There's certain messages that gotta be said.
08:33And there's certain ways of saying.
08:35And there's certain ways to make beats.
08:37And we just like doing material the way we like doing.
08:40It shouldn't have to be like that.
08:42I guess it ain't where you're from.
08:44It's where you're at.
08:45Even though.
08:47Intelligent.
08:48Rough and rugged.
08:49Smooth.
08:50When I come around homeboy and watch a nugget.
08:53I'm ass throwing the beat down.
08:54My style's rugged.
08:55Really important for me in Paris is the fact that we like our music.
08:59Hardcore and funky.
09:00You know.
09:01Real simple and to the point without, you know, trying to be fancy.
09:04Trying to make up like other 70 beats.
09:13Rappers are just trying to express their selves.
09:15But it seems a lot of brothers and sisters, including myself,
09:19have gotten into quite a bit of trouble behind this.
09:21Verdict.
09:22We the jury finds as follows.
09:24As is the defendant, Luther Campbell.
09:26The defendant is not guilty.
09:31If you don't like us, then f*** you and all that.
09:34You don't have to buy the record.
09:35You know.
09:38I think BWP, our audience is all women
09:42because every woman has a little bit of b***h in her.
09:44But it's just that everybody's not willing to express it freely
09:47so we just do it for them in our record.
09:49I'm f***ing.
09:50I'm scheming.
09:51I need money.
09:53Catch the meaning.
09:54I see him.
09:55His pocket's bonching.
09:57His money's all indulging.
09:59Stop.
09:59Hey, they want sex.
10:01We want money.
10:02You damn right I'm a greedy wench.
10:04That's the only way I know to get rich.
10:06I've been, yeah.
10:07So much guys want to pay a money
10:09for a kid's mind.
10:10You know.
10:12Some people out there might not want to hear what we got to say.
10:15But whether you dig it or not,
10:17we ain't going away.
10:20You know, we bringing a lot of brothers out.
10:22Both the brothers in the street are willing to work it out.
10:26Let's get it on.
10:29Let's get it on.
10:31Let's get it on.
10:32Peace.
10:33What's up?
10:33This is Chuck D. of Public Enemy.
10:35As we all move into the 90s,
10:36rap comes on strong with a message.
10:39To unite, fight the power,
10:40and do not believe the hype.
10:42Rap is the CNN of the 90s.
10:44It educates, preaches, inspires,
10:46and crosses all the cultures.
10:48You know, rap is the voice of the youth
10:49because they got something to say.
10:51Myself with Public Enemy and Karis
10:53want to boogie down productions.
10:55They call us the trendsetters
10:56of this particular music and style
10:58with the message all in the music.
11:00So y'all check this out.
11:01Rap is like a set-up.
11:02A lot of games.
11:04A lot of suckers with colorful names.
11:06I'm so-and-so.
11:07I'm this.
11:08I'm that.
11:08Be a veteran.
11:10All the sprints of situations unreal.
11:12I got a raw deal.
11:13So I'm looking for the steel.
11:15People are always looking for something.
11:17Now the thing is political rap.
11:19It seems to be the trend
11:22or the mainstream right now
11:25as far as rap audience go.
11:27What is the point to speak
11:29to the black man?
11:31Rap music, from a message side of view,
11:33is basically just a reflection
11:34on how we live in.
11:35So, you know,
11:36from the black side of things,
11:37you know,
11:38a young black male or female
11:40could say,
11:41well, basically,
11:42these are my problems
11:43and this is how I like
11:44to see things rolling
11:45and this is my point of view
11:47towards life
11:48and explain it through rap.
11:49Because we are at school!
12:00That reflects his culture
12:02and some brothers and sisters
12:03are expressing their identification
12:05with the motherland, Africa,
12:07and creating a popular new look
12:09and the sound.
12:11Sending a message
12:11to the old and young
12:12Confused about where I come from
12:14What planet?
12:15What channel?
12:16What station?
12:17Africa from the Zulu nation.
12:19My main concern is
12:20to be ourselves
12:21and continue to do
12:23what we've always been doing
12:24and that's hip-hop music
12:26and being
12:27the great African B-boy.
12:35Yeah, and some of these guys
12:40are beyond words.
12:42De La Soul is more in a style
12:43of changing their words around,
12:46making words like a jigsaw puzzle,
12:47not simply giving you
12:49the words up front
12:50so you can know
12:50what I'm talking about.
12:51You have to listen to my style
12:52a couple of times
12:53to know where I'm coming from.
13:07Rap music today also has a conscience.
13:10Two campaigns,
13:11one from the East Coast
13:12in 1989
13:13stopped the violence
13:14and one from the West Coast
13:15in 1990
13:16were all in the same gang.
13:18Both attempted to raise
13:19the consciousness of the youth
13:20and did quite well.
13:24Rap will not lease
13:25your easy's no sellout
13:27and if you can't hang
13:28in the streets
13:28then get the hell out
13:29I'm not trying to tell you
13:30what you do
13:31You have your own freedom
13:32of choice to listen to
13:34We should at least
13:35be at peace with ourselves
13:37before we can be at peace
13:38with everybody else.
13:41Now, rap's got you covered
13:42from every angle.
13:43If you don't like
13:44hardcore or political rap,
13:45there are some rappers
13:46ruin the image
13:47and the style
13:48that you're used to.
13:49I look funny
13:50but yo,
13:51I'm making money, see?
13:52So yo, world,
13:53I hope you're ready for me.
13:56And of course,
13:57the veteran rappers
13:58who continue to evolve
13:59and who grow at the time.
14:02Get up!
14:02I rise and shine
14:03like the sun on the one.
14:05We dance together,
14:06we overcome.
14:07But that's how it goes down
14:08when you're living
14:09in the city.
14:10What do you want to do?
14:11Ah!
14:15Ah!
14:15Ah!
14:15The thing that I think
14:16that still remains the same,
14:17that's the thing
14:17that's so exciting
14:18about rap
14:19is that it's still funky
14:21and it's still raw.
14:22And whether it was
14:23with Afrika Bambaad
14:25and the Soul Sonic Force
14:26or whether you're talking
14:27about De La Soul,
14:29it's still funky
14:31and raw
14:32and fresh.
14:33Yes, it's the old style
14:34and this is the new.
14:35When nothing's new
14:36by being honked by a few.
14:38I should have saved spots
14:39around every block.
14:40There's Harry, the guitar
14:41with a demo in his mom.
14:42Now, I'm with helping
14:43those who want the help
14:45to sell them for a nut
14:46that's long you ever know.
14:47But it's not the moves
14:48that hear the tales
14:49of limousines
14:50and barrels
14:50of money
14:51they make like a bro.
14:52I be like,
14:53no black,
14:53play me the tape.
14:54Relax, show the time
14:55is fair, I just hate.
14:57But the song's created
14:58and they shat me.
14:59So, with, with,
14:59situations like this
15:01and I don't hate
15:01I give his pals
15:02Kool-Aid water, man.
15:03What's his death?
15:04And with the straightest things
15:05I be like,
15:06hell yeah.
15:06I slip them the dicks
15:07up off a brick pool
15:08so I don't believe
15:09more yet.
15:10I know when they're
15:11going to get
15:11Hey, how is the weather?
15:13Sorry, you can't get blue
15:15But don't you leave
15:16your name
15:16and your number
15:18That was...
15:18You're right.
