When you write a song about hip hop Lyrics by Daniel Thrasher

2021

Hoodie Guy:
(Sung)
It all began in 1973
In a New York City legendary block party
DJ Kool Herc came along
And then he turn tabled the game
Scratching double vinyls
And now you all know his name
Daniel:
What was his name again
Hoodie Guy:
(Sung)
You got Grandmaster Flash
And the Sugarhill gang
DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Mr. Big Daddy Kane
Slick Rick, LL Cool J, De La Soul, and DMC
Ice T, Vanilla Ice, and there's
Public Enemy
You have Flava Flav and Hammer
Telling time across the world
Then I sprinkle Salt N Pepa
For your Beastie Boys and girls
It was a Golden Era, for every MC
Eric B was president
Rakin was his VP
NWA was a infamous sextet
Till Ice Cube gout iced out
And had to star in "Are We There Yet"
There's J Dilla, RZA, Ghostface Killah
GZA, Tribe Called Quest
Flo Rida, Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross
Puff Daddy, DMX
NERD!
No, Okay
The Roots, Mos Def, and Common
Lauryn Hill had perfect grades
There's Kris Kross and then there's Coolio
Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre
There's Tupac and there's Biggie
They never got along
Jay Z and Nas were rivals
Like Slim Shady and his mom
Everything got better
When the "Bling Era" arrived
50 cent got shot 9 times
And somehow he survived
There's Ja Rule, and Meek Mill
And T.I and T-Pain
Ludacris, Chamillionaire
Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane
Daniel:
Have you been practicing this?
Hoodie Guy:
Asoep Rock, A$AP Rocky
A$AP Ferg, and Fergie too
OutKast, Nipsey Hussle
Pusha T, and MF Doom
You got famous hip hop lovers
Like Beyonce and Jay Z
Andre 3 love E Badu
And Kanye loves Yeezy
There's Kid Cudi and Future
And there's Kendrick and J Cole
Cardi B and Playboi Carti
Dababy and Gambino
There's Two Chains and there's Yachty
And there's Wacka Flacka Flame
Snoop Dogg Smoked too much
And now Snoop Lion is his name
There's Tyler, Travis, Noname
Chance the Rapper, Rapsody
Aminé and Corpse Husband
Action Bronson, Tekashi
Mac Miller, Macklemore and Earl
Juice WRLD, Post Malone
Dojo Cat and Nicki
And Meghan Thee Stallión
Drake's a champagne papi
He's the one to stream
So far his greatest achievements
Are Degrassy and that meme
Lil Wayne, Lil Kim, Lil B, Lil Jon
Lil Peep, Lil Pump, Lil Uzi Vert
Snoop Lion's back to Snoop Dogg
Now he's friends with Martha Stewart
So I hope you enjoyed my introductory tale
About the history of hip hop
To set your ship asail
So I'll just kick back and relax
Sipping tea on my veranda
Listing to rappers like-
Daniel:
Lin Manuel Miranda
Hoodie Guy:
I was going to say Lil Nas X
