about

This song is about the evolution of hip hop and how easy it is to make a song where in prior days, it was live instrumentation, DJs, and etc, where all you need is a laptop to basically become a superstar

lyrics

Back in 1968
A song called Here Come' The Judge 's made
A music revolution started,
when MC’s set a coarse uncharted.
1980’s we were up to speed
DJs were the rage, in the hip hop scene.
But it took skills back in the day,
Which now’s succumbed to a high tech age.


‘Don’t need a deck, or
a hype man,
You need some software
and a plan.
It takes a Mac-Book,
And a dream.
It takes a Mac-Book,
It takes a dream.

It don’t matter who you are
Anyone can be a star
A chord and a lap-top, ‘ya got it made
Next you need, some loops to be arrange
All you gotta do it just press play
How else do you think this song was made?
It’s so simple, oh so easy
Just make sure your rhymes, just ain't real cheesy


‘Don’t need a deck, or
a hype man,
You need some software
and a plan.
It takes a Mac-Book,
And a dream.
It takes a Mac-Book,
It takes a dream.


Our final lesson for today
Brings a question to portray
With technology, that’s the latest
Will you become one of hip hop’s greatest?
This foundation was built on years
of MC and DJ’s blood, sweat, and tears.
Learn from the past, and embrace the present
And we’ll find out the difference of who’s king or a peasant-
You could stay big in the game
Or for fall off, it’s all the same
It’s all about how, and your speed,
To make those raps. Now what do you need?


‘Don’t need a deck, or
a hype man,
You need some software
and a plan.
It takes a Mac-Book,
And a dream.
It takes a Mac-Book,
It takes a dream.
