Lyrics: Some of the busiest rhymes ever made by man Are goin' into this mic, written by this hand Are comin' out of this mouth, made by this tongue I'll tell you now my name, my name is Young But so you think that it's your destiny To get the best of me, but I suggest to be Quiet, bro', don't even try it from the east and west of me Takin' it and never breakin' it or even shakin' it Groovin' it and always movin' it, 'cause I'm not fakin' it Pullin' out rhymes like books off the shelf Born in England, raised in Hollis, taught to go for myself This is stone cold rhymin', no frills, no fluffs And it's no accident that these rhymes sound tough I'm goin' off, baby, there's no turnin' back I'm on your TV, on your album, cassette and 8-track And when the show is finally finished I'll be takin' my bow My name is Young, and yo I got know-how, you know what I'm sayin'? I got know-how Party people, I got know...how I kick it just like this... I got juice like the president, I'm makin' rappers hesitant Invite me to your house and I'll be chillin' like a resident Yes, 'cause I'm that type of man 'cause I make myself at home no matter where I am I got it rollin' like thunder, makin' y'all wonder Why I'm on top with all the other rappers under I make no errors, mistakes or blunders It's like a wedding, let no man put asunder My name is Young MC, I like to rock mic well 'cause when I get up on the mic I just release my spell It's no hocus-pocus, I'll just get you into focus And swarm all over you just like a horde of locusts Smooth operator, female persuader Spot a fly girl and in a week I'm gonna date her I got the kind of style for the here and the now And I can do it 'cause I got know-how, you know what I'm sayin'? I got know-how Party people, I got know...how Bust it! MC's I'll ruin, 'cause I know what I'm doin' I'll treat 'em like doublemint gum and start chewin' I spit 'em out when the flavour's gone And I repeat the chewin' practice 'til the break of dawn 'cause I'm tough like a bone, sly like Stallone Rockin' and clockin' on the microphone Smooth like a mirror, in hearts I strike terror Rhymes like runs and hits with no errors Cold like a blizzard, on the mic I am the wizard With the funky fresh rhymes comin' out of my gizzard Never sneezin', never coughin', I rock the mic often Hard as a rock and no sign I'll soften Makin' sure I get respect, on my mind rhymes connect I start to build like a builder from a architect Movin' all around, above and under the ground You see my face, and then you hear my sound Comin' atcha with the mic in hand I'm gonna take command just the way I planned 'cause I'm a one-man band and you are my fan Don't you understand? I'm like Superman Yeah, the Man of Steel, don't you know the deal? You better be for real, I got sex appeal This is what I feel, and this here's my vow And now you know the brother with know-how, you know what I'm sayin'? I got know-how...and I'm chillin', never illin' In my mouth I got two fillin's...whatever! I'm on the mic, cold stone gettin' over My name is Young MC, known as the fly casanova, kick it...
It is very unfortunate what has become popular. I wonder sometimes if the people influenced the industry or if the music industry influenced the population.
This was one of the first CDs my brother had when we got our first CD player in 1990; I simultaneously picked out Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation the same day when our dad took us to the record store. Since it was my brother's CD, I recorded it on a blank cassette tape for myself. We listened to the whole album from start to finish every day for like the next 6 months. Just now remembering how great this album was

I don't remember this one back in the day but mcdonald's has brought it to me in their 50th year ad in the UK and it rocks. I'm 48 but it makes me feel like I'm 14.
Happy Birthday Young MC at age 54 today Young MC celebrates his 54th Birthday today Young MC Born in London England and Raised in Holis, Queens, New York USA 🇺🇸
In the UK where I was it was considered a very old fashioned phrase when the tune came out, and hence associated with much earlier ages, and seemed hilarious when included in a rap song. In fact, my mates used to say, "Can we have gizzard!" when requesting a track to listen to in the car, as that was its main identifier to them, the fact he used that unusual word. Your experience, of course, may vary.
GOAT If you like to toke a lil bit, I highly suggest listening to "Feel the Love" with some good bass. I got euphoric feels I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
Happy Birthday to Young MC just turn 53 today Happy 53rd Birthday Young MC at age 53 next year 54 then 55 in 2022 but during Mother’s Day today also COVID-19 coronavirus ha ha it’s Young MC’s Birthday today Happy Birthday Young MC at age 53 Young MC celebrates his 53rd Birthday in South Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom & Raised in Queens New York USA Tho Young MC born on May 10, 1967 in South Wimbledon, London , United Kingdom & Raised in Queens, New York, NY USA
I can’t tell you the number of times the Shaft soundtrack theme has started playing at a party or something and I got excited before I realized it wasn’t someone being amazing and playing “Know How.”
He absolutely killed it on this track.
I was 18 in 1988 when it 1st came out.....& I'm 54 now & still noddin to the bass line & rhythm of rhymes

I've loved this track since I was 16
And now I'm 45 it still rocks😊
The juxtaposition of the lyric with the beat and multiple breakdowns is incredible. A work of genius and peerless!
Lyrics:
Some of the busiest rhymes ever made by man
Are goin' into this mic, written by this hand
Are comin' out of this mouth, made by this tongue
I'll tell you now my name, my name is Young
But so you think that it's your destiny
To get the best of me, but I suggest to be
Quiet, bro', don't even try it from the east and west of me
Takin' it and never breakin' it or even shakin' it
Groovin' it and always movin' it, 'cause I'm not fakin' it
Pullin' out rhymes like books off the shelf
Born in England, raised in Hollis, taught to go for myself
This is stone cold rhymin', no frills, no fluffs
And it's no accident that these rhymes sound tough
I'm goin' off, baby, there's no turnin' back
I'm on your TV, on your album, cassette and 8-track
And when the show is finally finished I'll be takin' my bow
My name is Young, and yo I got know-how, you know what I'm sayin'?
I got know-how
Party people, I got know...how
I kick it just like this...
I got juice like the president, I'm makin' rappers hesitant
Invite me to your house and I'll be chillin' like a resident
Yes, 'cause I'm that type of man
'cause I make myself at home no matter where I am
I got it rollin' like thunder, makin' y'all wonder
Why I'm on top with all the other rappers under
I make no errors, mistakes or blunders
It's like a wedding, let no man put asunder
My name is Young MC, I like to rock mic well
'cause when I get up on the mic I just release my spell
It's no hocus-pocus, I'll just get you into focus
And swarm all over you just like a horde of locusts
Smooth operator, female persuader
Spot a fly girl and in a week I'm gonna date her
I got the kind of style for the here and the now
And I can do it 'cause I got know-how, you know what I'm sayin'?
I got know-how
Party people, I got know...how
Bust it!
MC's I'll ruin, 'cause I know what I'm doin'
I'll treat 'em like doublemint gum and start chewin'
I spit 'em out when the flavour's gone
And I repeat the chewin' practice 'til the break of dawn
'cause I'm tough like a bone, sly like Stallone
Rockin' and clockin' on the microphone
Smooth like a mirror, in hearts I strike terror
Rhymes like runs and hits with no errors
Cold like a blizzard, on the mic I am the wizard
With the funky fresh rhymes comin' out of my gizzard
Never sneezin', never coughin', I rock the mic often
Hard as a rock and no sign I'll soften
Makin' sure I get respect, on my mind rhymes connect
I start to build like a builder from a architect
Movin' all around, above and under the ground
You see my face, and then you hear my sound
Comin' atcha with the mic in hand
I'm gonna take command just the way I planned
'cause I'm a one-man band and you are my fan
Don't you understand? I'm like Superman
Yeah, the Man of Steel, don't you know the deal?
You better be for real, I got sex appeal
This is what I feel, and this here's my vow
And now you know the brother with know-how, you know what I'm sayin'?
I got know-how...and I'm chillin', never illin'
In my mouth I got two fillin's...whatever!
I'm on the mic, cold stone gettin' over
My name is Young MC, known as the fly casanova, kick it...
Gold star
This rhyme is so cold
Quality 👌
👀
Thank you soo much !!!!!!!
I'm a metal man, Iron maiden, ACDC, etc. I first heard this on XS radio few days back, and wow what a banging tune. The bass hooked me.
There's hope for you yet bro
These modern day mumblers can’t come anywhere close to this level. No swearing, drug or violent references, just pure funky hip-hop talent.
It is very unfortunate what has become popular. I wonder sometimes if the people influenced the industry or if the music industry influenced the population.
@@DylanMiller-d8e a mixture of both.
Preach it trap!!
It’s a classic proper Hip Hop.
Saying how much you rock the mic and how good your rhymes are is pretty overdone and tired, just saying
Baby Driver brought me here. ❤ This song is bad ass.
Loved my stone cold rhymin cd when I was a kid
Before Baby Driver, it was in the 2002 version of Test Drive on PS2
The game is epic!!!
It was my childhood
@@myview5840 Mine as well. I remember playing it when I was 3.
@@JRC99 the tune or the game? The tune was about when i was a kid

When this came out everyone danced to it with no complaints about each other’s colour and got along !
Criminal this classic hasn't got tonnes more views.
This song makes me happy
I haven't heard this album since 1991, amazing to this day.
One of the most slept on lyricists of all times
Baby driver is the reason

Awful grammar and an awful profile picture
.... I'm going off baby,there's no turning back!!!
The Shaft theme loop is still FIRE!
My youth brought me here
The fact that he brought the word "gizzard" to a younger audience is noteworthy by itself.
So only folks of a certain age eat gizzards?
In the UK where I was it was considered a very old fashioned phrase when the tune came out, and hence associated with much earlier ages, and seemed hilarious when included in a rap song.
In fact, my mates used to say, "Can we have gizzard!" when requesting a track to listen to in the car, as that was its main identifier to them, the fact he used that unusual word.
Your experience, of course, may vary.
