The Echo of Events Unknown and It Held Meaning |
Hip hop is the greatest |
I love it so much that I hate it |
I haven’t been in it in a minute to win |
Ok, so let’s begin |
When I first hit the scene as a struggling MC |
Doing shows at The Fez underneath the Time Cafe as rap meets poetry |
Made enough loot for train fare |
I had no car to get there |
So I’d leave the party early |
I was stranded, sleeping in Grand Central |
If I missed that last 138 train heading up to White Plains |
I could be wrong but I believe |
This took place around the years early '94 or '93 |
Heard Nas on Main Source when I lived in Atlanta |
Before my first time touring overseas with Vernon Reid |
When Sayyid was a writer for URB |
Before I quit smoking 'erb |
We used to get high outside across the mall by the library |
While a local MC from White Plains named Top Quality |
Put out an album called «Magnum Opus» |
When he signed a record deal with PMD |
Back then I was a cashier at a clothing store |
While my man Dead End came to visit one day |
Said he’d be right back |
Then turned around and robbed the video store right next door |
I only soared in '95 and '97 |
Antipop had to be distinctive in it’s approach from those (?) kids |
I always considered it essential in art |
Forward thinking and plus |
(?) keep it real |
And held it against me as a minus |
Back then we had no support and nobody was behind us |
Which meant Stretch and Bobbito would never really play us |
And Rawkus would never really sign us |
Before (?) gave the world’s first orientation to our single «Disorientation» |
Before the (?) Blues Remix |
Before The Isolationist with Vadim |
Before Antipop was performing at the Soundlab as The Blank Slates |
Before Priest got arrested, posting up stickers he made working at Kinko’s |
Promoting the Consortium mixtapes |
After Original Flavor from New Rochelle dropped «Can I Get Open» with Jay-Z |
I recorded my first verse ever on an album by a female MC |
Named (?) |
When Gang Starr was two MC’s |
Still together was EPMD |
I was influenced by Sadat X’s freestyle tapes |
Before Brand Nubian’s first album hit |
That my man (?) |
He was the first to say to me, «Don't be a DJ, you’d make a better MC» |
Occasionally I’d go to Lyricist Lounge |
That was the first time I saw Biggie |
I was in the crowd, I stood a few feet away from him |
Then I saw him again during New Music Seminar |
Sharing the stage with 2Pac at the Palladium |
I’m a golden era 80's baby |
PE raised me |
I’m here to stay, I ain’t for play |
A blank page to a pen is a sin |
(???) when I cancel your grin |
