O’hene: Listen to this lesson on the eras of flow. Let Him be praised

I’m chillin’, I got a lot of tricks
It’s like Hammer, they put me in the mix
It’s cool MC O on the microphone
And my syntax under microscopes
This is how they rhymed back in ’81
Sporting Kangols, having crazy fun
Now this was the flow for the longest time
And then they proceeded to speed it up before ’89
To something sort of like this they would spit making it quick
When Naughty By Nature arrived you would notice a tempo switch
To something more intricate in a sense went up a notch
If you an emcee thinking I’m lying, try this off the top
Let’s go, you see that break and how I said ‘let’s go’
That’s characteristic of that era’s type of record
For the next level was called the stutter
Remember that that was butter
A couple of emcees doubled and troubled them paces like none other
If you can recall the diggity Das EFX and then Schick Fu
The severity of that period’s dexterity, you would’a knew
But then people like Snoop slowed it down
You would’a swore that they had that older sound
It wasn’t old school, it wasn’t new school either
See ‘cause that flow that came in between ‘em
And this is the flow that you mainly hear
The mid tempo’s been going on for ten years
In between that, we’ve seen cats like Bone Thugs
Shown love ‘cause their flow was another type stutter but
Study this rhyme, try to master each era
When you do your flows, you’ll also be mirrored
With the true emcees ‘cause now you’ll see clearer
How to be a microphone terror
