[nega2k6]

When I discovered hiphop 4 years ago, i was married with this song.

"You know why? we all stars and we highly evolved,

Hip-hop it's not pop like kylie minogue"

"Introducin' the band you gotta see to believe,

He got the mic in his hand so keep the heat up your sleeve,

It's black thought he rockin' sharp so the speakers'll bleed"

Can someone please give me the name of the poet at the end of this song?

[Duraka88]

@OwnUrBl00d Wadud Ahmad

cant find it anywhere though but i knows its him, if you find the lyrics to that part let me know

[OwnUrBl00d]

Thank you very much! I know the lyrics to the poem if that's what you're asking. If you want I can message them to you, but I think you're asking for something else and I'm just not understanding correctly.
