Fumbling over words that rhyme [x4]      Mad rap user, game made under pressure   Expose the jewel teeth, school at my leisure   Fumble over words that rhyme with a verse divine   I backtrack and think of the greatest of all-time   Class is in session, master this lesson   Teacher was a student, studied like a Buddhist   But few went on the best to do it   So let's do this         Nothin' to it   Considered the first emcee to blow the spot   and do what was Coke La Rock spittin' for Kool Herc   Followin' the influence and heard from more parties   Brothas like Cowboy made you move your body   Cowboy would toast for the G and Flash   And his 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 on the breaks, crew kings motivate   After L the brothers became Fantastic   With Theodore they battled the Cold Crush Four   Few had the confidence of G. MC   Without the CCB's [Cold Crush Brothers] there'd be no Run-DMC   The Funky and the Fearless Four forced emcees to small Spoonie G   And I can't forget the Treacherous Three MC's         "Props to the Kool Moe Dee, he elevated   and changed the r-records like the new rap language   Before the first four length LP's   There was abstract brothas like the one from LZ   Run DMC broke crew in '83   Outta Queens, started rapping hard over drum machines   808's started shakin' up floors ["The World is Yours" Sample]   We takin' rock's complex metaphors ["T La Rock" Sample]   A primary influence on L.L. Cool J   T La Rock's futurism must've been respectable   'Cuz Tragedy from Queens was young but very technical   Sham was eloquent, Chris was intelligent   The 'R' was all of the above with added elements   Slick Rick the Ruler was a street-made producer   Ultramagnetic had the vision for the future   Big Daddy Kane getting raw at The Appolo and   Kool G Rap was probably the sickest of all of them   Jaz from the BK, Mercy and Finesse from the BX   Prince Paul and Pharoe came next   Wu with the G-Z-A, C-F-K   N-A-S one of the best out to date   Any MC that's added on to the list   Pump your fist, but first give praise to the true scientists
