[ woman ]
Oh my God, I think I`m having a rap attack..
[ Ecstacy ]
Somebody get a doctor!
Quick, man
She`s having an attack!
[ Jalil ]
She said `rap attack`, man, not `heart attack`
[ Ecstacy ]
Oh, you mean she`s alright then?
[ Jalil ]
Of course, man
You never heard of a Mr. Magic Rap Attack?
Where is this guy from, man?
[ Ecstacy ]
Oh, I heard of a heart attack or a big mac attack
But what`s a rap attack?
[ Jalil ]
Come here, man, I see I`ma have to explain it to you like this
See, a rap attack means..
[ Jalil ]
Deejays jammin in the street
MC`s rappin to the beat
The people downstairs sayin they can`t sleep
Cause the people upstairs are stompin their feet
It`s not like they`re startin a riot
We`ll call the cops, cause we want some quiet!
There`s no need for them to get excited
They`re just mad because they`re not invited
(It`s all in Mr. Magic`s Wand)
[ Ecstacy ]
Oh see, now I understand what a rap attack is
[ Jalil ]
Well, it`s about time!
[ Ecstacy ]
All you had to do is explain it to me
But let me ask you a question:
How long have they been rockin like this?
[ Jalil (& Ecstacy) ]
Well, rapping`s always been around
(Well, it says that it`s big time now)
Every neighborhood had its own crew
(That meant you against me) and me against you
(They would jam every weekend at the neighborhood center)
And charge a small price for the crowds to enter
(The parties would be packed inside and out)
To see who was best at rockin the house
(It`s all in Mr. Magic`s..
..Wand)
[ Jalil ]
Cause then Magic went on the radio
And everybody said: What a way to go!
The moment he went on the air
It was plain to see a new phase was here
He started out playing mostly rap
Then they all said: Nobody`s into that
Well, they all turned out to be wrong
Cause rappin on the mike had caught on strong
Some still say it`s not what`s happenin
After `Rapper`s Delight` went triple platinum
The record world was in for a smash
Sugarhill, Kurtis Blow, to Grandmaster Flash
Blondie, Stevie Wonder, Teena Marie
They even made a rapper out of me
In no time at all a star was born
And I think he owes it all to his Magic Wand
[ Ecstacy (& Jalil) ]
Now that you heard our rap and you caught a contact
(And by now you`re all to be blasted)
We want you all to know that we got to go
(But it was big fun while it lasted)
Hey y`all, but we`ll be back again, so tell all your friends
(Good things don`t always come to an end)
With somethin innovative (to rock you all well)
From Ecstacy (and the Rapper Jalil)
