Pause Tapes - Nas/DJ Premier.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : N. Jones/C. MARTIN
[00:00.000] Remember the first time I made a beat, I had a cassette player in my grandma's crib
[00:04.592] I didn't have all the extravagant equipment
[00:07.311] You know this is back in the late 80's
[00:10.089] And I used to listen to music on the radio that I liked
[00:13.482] You know, particularly old school, like 70's
[00:16.106] And I would record it, and then after I recorded a certain part that I liked
[00:20.893] I would record, loop, record, loop, record, loop until it just became one beat
[00:24.794] And you know that was the beginning of me making beats
[00:27.522]
[00:31.235] Record loop
[00:33.887] Record loop

[00:49.139] It's a drive-in movie
[00:50.507] No roofs on a bunch of benzes
[00:52.107] Let's try to reimagine the passion when I got in this
[00:55.202] A panasonic with a tape recorder
[00:57.294] Try to level the treble and bass in order
[00:59.451] The station sound distorted
[01:00.897] I moved the dial to improve the sound
[01:02.963] Years later got a sony stereo system
[01:05.019] No comparison with the boombox, my living room knocks
[01:07.862] My ****, mayo next door, he bangin' on the wall
[01:10.414] Told us to stop, take me back, drugs and money, we cruddy
[01:13.409] Lungs smoky, fiends in the hallway bummy
[01:15.629] Just finished a oe, music savin' our lives
[01:18.329] Just listenin', getting fried to underrated mcs
[01:21.369] Spraying something to hide the aroma, still in my mom's crib, was young and lazy
[01:25.233] Quit school 'cause I needed fly shit, the fiends would page me
[01:28.116] Not trying to be locked on a bid, queens' crazy
[01:30.617] Guess jeans and polo jacket
[01:32.241] Just in the crib causing all this racket
[01:34.379] Always knew I was the verbal assassin
[01:36.420] Submerged in a very dirty world but only was half in
[01:39.276] That's when I had an epiphany
[01:40.895] Kane went last on the symphony
[01:42.463] If I could set a posse cut off, that'd be my entry
[01:45.285] Pickin' up the stereo's remote control quickly
[01:48.012] Ron g's in the cassette deck, rockin' the shit, g
[01:50.637] A surprise, I opened a bombshell in my mind
[01:53.332] Tells me I could hook a beat up for myself to rhyme
[01:56.052] My mom's hall closet and boxes, all kind of shit
[01:58.560] Johnny taylor records and some good grover washingtons, I'm locking in
[02:02.295] Grab a piece of vinyl drop the needle at the top
[02:04.901] Listen for a beat to rock, ninety minute tape, I got
[02:07.474] Enough time, play it one time, four bars, press record
[02:11.150] Then press pause, then restart
[02:13.094] Record, loop, repeat
[02:15.183] Do that 'bout twenty times, yo, I made my first beat
[02:17.966] Pause tapes
