Lyrics

Once Upon A Past

How shall I begin my story that has no beginning?

The sampler as well as the turntable

We're principal tools largely responsible

For the birth and development of hip-hop

With a sampler any drum beat, any guitar riff

Any sound that could be recorded

Could be used as part of a new composition

A new contextualization

The recording you are listening to now is an example
