Love For Hip-Hop

Let's take it back to the days of Melle Mel & Grandmaster Flash
The Rap masters, who actually had swagger
Dr dre, When he was in N.W.A before Death Row records or Aftermath
Ice Cube, Eazy E, Mc Ren & DJ Yella speaking  the truth on records, some thought it was just bad manners
Run DMC taught me to walk this way, I still can't believe Jam Master passed
Public enemy had the courage to fight the power
Both Them and N.W.A spoke about the politicians and real cowards
Gangsta Rap started with none other than Ice-T
Rakim the god MC, was paid in full with the president Eric B
Everyone should know by now that Wu Tang ain't nothing to F with
It still makes me happy to know I share a birthday with Method
I love Redman, but my favourite member is Ghostface Killah
Let me use this line to say Rest in peace to DJ Dilla
Cube got screwed out of money & Dissed N.W.A Hard 
Eazy and Dre fell out over money too & Dre went to Death row for a fresh start
Dre, Snoop Dogg & Tupac would make death row the biggest Label
With P.Diddy, Biggie & Bad Boy at the opposite table
Nas Released Illmatic in 94 and is still considered the greatest album ever
Mobb Deep Came out with shook ones, there's still not many better
In 95 Eazy died of AIDS, but signed Bone Thugs just before he passed
The greatest group in the history of rap
Bad Boy & Death Rows beef was at an all time high
It was Suge Knight vs Diddy, But Biggie and Tupac had to die
Xzibit released his debut album in 96, the year Tupac left the earth
So did Ras Kaas, I fell in love with the way he connects the words
Masta Ace, Big L, Big Pun, Fat Joe all deserve more respect
Chino XL, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, KRS One, Kept their rhymes fresh
LL Cool J & Busta Rhymes always came with a different sound
Then Eminem dropped & instantly came for the crown
Hip-Hop had never seen anyone like him before 
I wish we could go back and stop Jay-Z & Nas's war
2 greats beefing, we didn't need that
50 Came along and Dropped one of the best ever Debut's in Rap
Game also released an incredible debut before his & 50's beef
Studied Hip-hop so I wouldn't be a slave to a page in Nas's rhyme Book
Nate Dogg is forever the King of hooks
Jay-Z & Nas made up & that was a great day for Hip-Hop
50 & Game haven't, that was the only beef that 50's lost
It makes me sad no one seems to mention dipset or the Lox
This is the only love that I haven't lost
I'll always love Old School Hip-Hop
