You know I'm proud to be black y'all
and that's a fact y'all
And if you try to take what's mine
I take it back y'all - it's like that
Licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-
Listen party people here's a serious song
It's right not wrong, I should say right on
I gotta tell you somethin that you all should know
It's not a mystery it's history and here's how it go
Now Hariett Tubman, was born a slave
She was a tiny black woman, when she was raised
She was livin' to be givin' there's a lot that she gave
There's not a slave, in this day and age
I'm proud to be
Black, god damn, I'm tired my man
Don't worry 'bout what color I am
Because I'll show you how ill, this man can act
It could never be fiction cause it is all fact
And if you get in my way, I will not turn back
I'm proud of my name, my name is Darryl Mack
I'm black and I'm proud, and I'll say it out loud
I'll share my story with the whole crowd, AUUUGHH!
You know I'm proud to be black y'all
and that's a fact y'all
And if you try to take what's mine
I take it back y'all - it's like that
DJ Run, and I run these things
You can hear it loud and clear like when the schoolbell rings
Like Martin Luther King, I will do my thing
I'll say it in a rap 'cause I do not sing
D.M.C., the man, that's causin' the beef
I got a message for the world so listen up it's brief
Like Malcolm X said I won't turn the right cheek
Got the strength to go the length, if you wanna start beef
Start beef!
You know I'm proud to be black y'all
and real brave y'all
And motherfucker I could never be a slave y'all
So take that!!
We're gonna tell ya somethin' put your mind in a swirl
God bless the next baby that comes in this world
The world's full of hate, discrimination and sin
People judgin' other people by the color of skin
I'll attack this matter, in my own way
Man, I ain't no slave, I ain't reelin' no hay
Written a deposition, in any condition
Don't get in my way cause I'm full of ambition
I'm proud to be black (and I ain't takin no crap)
I'm fresh out the pack (and I'm proud to be black)
SO TAKE THAT!!
There was a man - an inventor - who invented so well
He invented a fortune - for a man named Bell
George Washington Carver, made the peanut great
Showed any man with a mind, could create
You read about Malcolm X - in the history text
Jesse Owens broke records, Ali broke necks
What's wrong with ya man? How can you be so dumb?
LIKE DR. KING SAID, WE SHALL OVERCOME!

(9/10) Not to belabor the point, but I do find it weird how immediately I label a song like "The Suffering Machine" as "rap" when it shares just as many qualities with older talking blues songs. Part of this is the other songs that surround it on Buck 65's album, which are typically more "rap-ish" than this one. Maybe that's all it takes: if it wasn't for that kind of context I could easily see a song like "Another One Bites The Dust" getting tagged as "rap" instead of "classic rock" (and visa verse for Run-DMCs cover of "Walk This Way").

Run D.M.C. en Beastie Boys half jaren 80, twee groten namen uit de New School hip hop waarbij elementen uit de rock werden gehaald en de rap wat assertiever over kwam. #rundmc #beastieboys #hiphop #nonkelmuziek #muziek

So I put on Tougher Than Leather while I was doing the dishes (as you do) and as usual I was struck by just how familiar the guitar sample is. I've always thought it was because everybody samples Kurtis Blow (including #RunDMC). But tonight I finally realized where I hear it: #FSOL's We Have Explosive. And sure enough there it is, sped up, filtered and stretched.
I've listened to these records for two decades at least and only today recognized the link. Brains are weird.
