Текст песни: Fumbling Over Words That Rhyme 1 (radio) + перевод

Expose a jewel, teach school at my leisure

Fumble over words that rhyme with a verse divine

I backtrack and think of the greatest of all-times

Class is in session, master this lesson

Teacher was a student, studied like a Buddhist

Reviewing all the best to do it

So let’s do this («Do it»)

Nothing to it

Considered the first emcee to blow the spot

And do work was Coke La Rock spitting for Kool Herc

Following the influence of Herculoid parties

Brothers like Cowboy made you move your body

Cowboy would toast for the GM Flash

And the skills elevated as crews started to clash

Flash and Bam, they both saw clientele

So Flash formed the Four with the father Melle Mel

Four became Five, more became live

Routines over breaks, true kings motivate

Out the L brothers came the Five Fantastic

With Theodore they battled with the Cold Crush Four

Few had the confidence of GMC

Without the CCB’s there’d be no Run-DMC

The Funky and the Fearless Four, Force MC’s, the suave Spoonie G

And I can’t forget the Treacherous Three MC’s

Praise to the Kool Moe Dee, he elevated

And changed it with records like the New Rap Language

Before the first full length LPs

There was abstract brothers like the one Rammellzee

Run-DMC broke through in '83 outta Queens

And started rapping hard over drum machines

808's started shaking up floors («It's Yours»)

With T La Rock’s complex metaphors

A primary influence on LL Cool J

T La Rock’s futurism must’ve been respectable

Cause Tragedy from Queens was young but very technical

Shan was eloquent, Kris was intelligent

The 'R' was all of the above with added elements

Slick Rick the Ruler was a screenplay producer

Ultramagnetic had the vision for the future

Big Daddy Kane getting raw at The Apollo and

Kool G Rap was probably the sickest of all of them

Jaz from the BK, Percee and Finesse from the BX

Prince Po and Pharoahe came next

Wu with the G-Z-A, G-F-K

N-A-S one of the best out to date

Any MC that’s adding on to the list

Pump your fist, but first give praise to the true scientists
