about

Just wanted to document how long I have been involved with the hip-hop culture, when I made the beat I was inspired to write about the craft.

lyrics

Original BBoy since 1983
Yo, You might see them , but you cant see me.
I’m a true OG, and my mind is FREE
And I keep these beats FRESH like Potpourri, on my MPC
I do that BoomBap cause BoomBap is what I love
I’m addicted to creating, finding loops is my drug.
Use to ride the metro red line for hours on the hunt
Dupont Circle to Silver Spring trying to find that cut
That would stop the world, except the turntable
dope supreme sample thats willing and able
To make a head nod, or pull a hoody up
Make your homegirl say “yo turn that music up”
A simple breakbeat and loop is all the cipher needs
Me and my 2000XL motivates MCs
With my choice of the audio capture and the chop
And with the way the snare hits, and I let the Kick drop (beastie Boy sample)

808 tones and microphones, and we never ever bite
Cause we anti clone.
Represent your zone, and keep your crew steady
Master your craft, we dat boom bap jedi
DJ Cuts the vinyl, (scratch) like machete
Big Chief in the corner and he said “all ready”
Soundvizion in the house and the OPs get sweaty
come to wreck the effects just like Teddy, checka 1,2,


1, 2, we keep the culture true
B-Girls and B-boys because this is what we do
Had my breakdance crew back in 82
I was rocking hammer pants with fat laces in my shoes
In Morgantown WV with cardboard on high st
My whole crew would eat with what we did on that concrete
At Marshall University I did covers of Whodini
See I lived this life that's why I said you couldn't see me
Uh, to live the life you love,
is better than any high from any type of drug
Just figure out your passion and make an oath to follow
And then your soul won't be hollow
