  • Rap Talker: [rapping] Hip-Hoping; is a thing to binge, Is where the stone-cold Nitro party begin, So listen party people with an ear to the street, The Cali' professionals and the socially elite, To the fly young guys, to the pretty girls, Ice-T is gonna tell you about that Hip-Hop world...

Hip-Hop is making history...
