Hip Hop Rules

Boogie Down Productions

[KRS One]



Come again down man



This is KRS One on to wreck RUFF RUFF RUFF stuff



So we're gonna do it like this now



Put up your hands if you love hip hop music like I do seen?



And we gonna do it like this now



Listen to the lyrics! Bo!




Me say hip hop rule hip hop rule



And these other industries out here cannot take it come again!



Hip hop rule hip hop rule



And these other industries out here cannot take it, we want!



Rap music, we want the rap music, bo!



Rap music, we want the rap music, come again!



Rap music, we want the rap music, bo!



Rap music, we want the rap music




Way back in the days, 1979



Fatback Band made a record usin rhyme



In the same year come the Sugarhill Gang



with the pow pow boogie, and the big bang bang



R&B, Disco, Pop Country Jazz



all thought Hip-Hop, was just a little fad



But here comes Grandmaster Flash nonstop



And right after Flash, Run-D.M.C. dropped



Now, they had to pay attention to the scale



Where other music failed, hip-hop prevailed



See rap music has gone platinum from the start



So now in eighty-nine we gettin present as an art



Me ask, is it because, we've got the eighty-nine vision?



Whoa whoa whoa!



Or is it because, it's a unanimous decision



Hey hey hey hey




that hip-hop rule, hip-hop rule



And these other industries out here cannot take it, come again!



Hip-hop rule, hip-hop rule



And these other industries out here cannot take it, we want!



Rap music, we want the rap music, bo!



Rap music, we want the rap music, come again!



Rap music, we want the rap music, come down!



Rap music, we want the rap music




I pick up the mic and put down crazy lyrics
