Hip-Hop is something that literally has taken over the world when it comes to music, movies, fashion, television, and even children’s books. The culture may have never progressed without the assistance from artists such as Large Professor and Craig G. Therefore, it would only be right for Koss to have these two experienced MCs from Queens hop on this track together and spit facts about the past, present, and possibly the future of the culture.
While thinking back to the days in the park when the culture was first created, Extra P starts off the track with, “On the scene / Two turntables and a drum machine / Plus a mic,” He takes it to, “Started off in N.Y. and N.J./ Kept buzzing / But always knew that it wasn’t / For everyone / The message in the song is a heavy one / Peep that light in the dark / That’s a nebula / Named ‘Hip-Hop’ / The world got hit by storm / Once the Flex bombs come on / It’s a showcase between what’s capital and lower case / Now our styles’ all over the place.”
