Rock and Roll (Could Never Hip Hop Like This), Pt 2

I am the original DJ Jazzy Jay from the Mighty Mighty Zulu Nation.
And first I'll say my name is um, original scratch creater Grand Wizard Theodore.
For those who don't know, I started back out in '74. Africa Bambata, Disco King Mario, Cool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and you know, some of the pioneers who did it back then you know.
Hip hop is universal now it all depends upon on what you do.

Hip hop is like what you would call the bastard child of a lot of different forms of music.
I just feel good that like, like a lot of rock bands are like recognizing the culture.
DJWe used to play these beats because they used to drive us on the dance floor.
And people don't really know that it's a rock record until like the guitars come in and stuff like that.
We didn't have no hip hop beats back in the days we had to take it from everywhere we could get it from.
Just trying to take it to another level.
That's what keeps the music new and keeps it fresh.
As far as, you know, rock is concerned, I think rock is, you know, a big part of hip hop.
Rock helped influence hip hop, hip hop helped influence the world.

Yeah, hey
Shhh...
Can you hear me?
Okay.
Listen

Every muscle in your skin starts to shake and shift
You're a thugged-out gangsta pimp 'til you believe it
You're singin' the same thing, but we're bringin' the answer
That your skin isn't as thin as the skin you're in (bitch)

Gimme a second just to spell it out

Try to play me and we can go to war like Iranians
My shit'll be off the meat rack
I don't harass if you niggas playin' Russian Roulette with automatics
Leavin' my street team all for nothin' but ass-whoopin's
The type that sports chicks on the arm like John Ritter

(Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe)
(Breathe, breathe, breathe, breath)

Nothing I can say or do will take away what I've been through
What you were is what I've come to be
Nothing you can say to me will take away these memories
What you were is what I've come to be

Ahh...
Ahh...

La la la la la,
La la la la la,
La lala la la la
La la la la la,
La la la la la,
La lala la la la
