- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ย. 2019
- From Rawkus Record's Lyricist Lounge, Volume One (1998)

The double-disc compilation features De La Soul, Mos Def, Q-Tip, Tash of Tha Alkaholiks, Punch & Words, O.C., Ras Kass, Black Thought, Common, Pharoahe Monch, Saul Williams, Kool Keith, Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek, Bahamadia, Rah Digga, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Jurassic 5, KRS-One, Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine, Last Emperor and Company Flow.
Zack De La Rocha:
De la Rocha met Tim Commerford in elementary school, and in junior high school, they both played guitar in a band called Juvenile Expression. De la Rocha's interest in punk rock bands like The Clash, The Misfits, Sex Pistols, and Bad Religion turned into an appreciation for other bands like Minor Threat, Bad Brains, and The Teen Idles. In high school, he joined the straight edge band Hard Stance, which evolved into the hardcore band Inside Out around 1988 and gained a national underground following. The band released a single record, No Spiritual Surrender, on Revelation Records in 1990 before breaking up. De la Rocha later said that the band was "about completely detaching ourselves from society to see ourselves as ... as spirits, and not bowing down to a system that sees you as just another pebble on a beach. I channeled all my anger out through that band."
Following the dissolution of Inside Out in 1991, de la Rocha embraced hip hop and began freestyling at local clubs, at one of which he was approached by former Lock Up guitarist Tom Morello, who was impressed by de la Rocha's lyrics, and convinced him to form a band. Morello recruited former Greta drummer Brad Wilk-who had previously auditioned for Lock Up before that band's dissolution earlier that same year-and de la Rocha recruited his former Juvenile Expression bandmate, Tim Commerford, to play bass. The band was named for an unreleased Inside Out record, Rage Against the Machine.
Rage Against the Machine was on the main stage at Lollapalooza by 1993 and was one of the most politically charged bands ever to receive extensive airplay from radio and MTV. Rage's second and third albums peaked at number one in the United States, but did not result in the political action de la Rocha had hoped for. He became increasingly restless and undertook collaborations with artists such as KRS-One, Chuck D, and Public Enemy. He left Rage Against the Machine in October 2000, citing "creative differences," at which time he issued a statement saying: "it was necessary to leave Rage because our decision-making process has completely failed", in reference to the disagreement over the release of Renegades. The other members of the band sought out separate management and secured the immediate release of Renegades. After searching for a replacement for de la Rocha, the other members of Rage joined Chris Cornell of Soundgarden to form Audioslave.
Following the disbandment of Rage Against the Machine, de la Rocha worked on a solo album he had been recording since before the band's dissolution, working with DJ Shadow, El-P, Muggs, Dan The Automator, Roni Size, DJ Premier and Questlove with production partner James Poyser. The album never came to fruition, and de la Rocha started a new collaboration with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, in which around 20 tracks were produced. Reznor thought the work was "excellent", but said the songs will likely never be released as de la Rocha was not "ready to make a record" at that time.
The 2004 soundtrack Songs and Artists that Inspired Fahrenheit 9/11 included one of the collaborations with Reznor, "We Want It All". This album also contained "No One Left", the debut recording by former Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello as The Nightwatchman. On October 7, 2005, de la Rocha returned to the stage with new material, performing with Son Jarocho band Son de Madera. He later spoke as MC and again performed with Son de Madera at the November 22 Concert at the Farm, a benefit concert for the South Central Farmers. He sang and played the jarana with the band, and performed his own new original material, including the song "Sea of Dead Hands". On September 8, 2016, it was reported that de la Rocha's first solo album was complete and would be released in early 2017. The news came with a new song, produced by El-P, called "Digging for Windows" that was released on TH-cam and BitTorrent. However, to date, the album remains unreleased with no further announcements made.

Happy Friday worldwide Hip-Hop family! Making sure everyone tunes in to a very special episode of People's Party dropping Monday morning. We'll be chopping it up with underground rapper icon El-P, where he gives us thoughtful insight about a number of topics, including his time at Rawkus Records with Company Flow, Zack de la Rocha living at his house after the Rage breakup, the latest Run The Jewels project with Killer Mike, and much more. It's one of our best yet! Check for it this Monday Nov 11, at 9am ET/ 6am PT
Yo! This is HUGE! El is one of my favorite producers of all time, and everything with RATM coming back has me hyped. Stoked! 🙏✌️
I have no idea how you are getting the legit rights to these videos. But thank you!!! Keep doing your thang!!!
Absolutely love this page. Bigups upproxxx

de la Rocha's flow has been criminally underrated throughout his career.
Truth. I believe both him and Foxy Brown (stay with me and you'll understand lol) have 2 of the sickest flows ever. I don't really care for female rappers but Foxy in her prime was a straight up beast when she was focused.
I'd even rank her flow (cadence, tonality, diction and precision)
up there with Zack and I would love to hear them do something together.
Check out this 2005 unreleased track. Her flow combined with the Hendrix sample is epic. Zack would blaze tf out of this beat and the 2 of them should've teamed up for a remix.

He sucks..
@@ByronGraham He's pretty genius, I'd like to shake his hand and thank him for speaking out about sociopolitical corruption
@@parkjinn1139 I guess if Genius is stealing other people's raps sure.. He is rich. They never do anything for poor. Just make money off of them..
@@ByronGraham I'm with you all the way want to say more but cant
I'm 50 this year(!) and so glad I lived through the golden era of hip hop.
I'm right behind you at 43 years young. So lucky to have lived through the mid 80s and 90s. Living & growing with all the music that came out those 15 or so years was something I can't imagine growing up without.
STEVEWONDA1976 absolutely!
Word!
My manz 88' (80's baby) 90's kid I stay with the 80's like I'm berry white R.I.P
@@STEVEWONDA1976 Me too. I consider myself lucky to have been a teen-adult then.
Man i wish Zack would've released a couple of solo albums back in the 90's over beats like this.

@@mastersuperblaster702 Really I thought foxy was really shallow. And zack doesnt do shallow
@@LeoMes01 Being a long time fan who knows her catalog I wouldn't peg her as shallow but yes, as far as lyrical themes go, Zack and Foxy are quite different. He's strictly political while her lyrics are more personal, street based and of course with her being a female rapper, there's a bit of sexuality thrown in for good measure- although nowhere near as trashy as Lil Kim and more current female pop rappers.
Let's face it, most heterosexual men could care less about a female rapper outside of wanting to knock her down and mobody really wants to hear a female rapper spit some serious heavy political shit but if there's one who could do it with the same intensity, cadence and fervor as Zack, she'd be the one for sure.
As I said, I'm not a fan of chick rappers overall but she's easily one of the dopest rappers ever when she's at her best.
@@mastersuperblaster702 Honestly I think hearing zack try to cat call would be. Really entertaining
@@mastersuperblaster702 I always thought Zack was gay.
90s was such a golden era ! Everything 90s ! I’m never leaving the 90s ! I don’t care what anyone says !
Golden age of hip hop
Hands down hip hops last stand. Rappers that rap. 90’s killed it
Facts
yeahhhh...90s golden era of every genre not only hiphop....metal,hardcore,reggae and many more....now days music the feeling are so different
DOPE
"Zack de la Rocha brings the enraged flow..." Sounds about right.
Im not a huge rock fan but it was Zach’s flow for the reason I listened to Rage against the Machine. Him and KRS 1 is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Zack's flow was killer.
IS
So killer he took himself out with Pfizer promotions last year lol. Zach sold out so hard social media felt butt fucked. Zach was a killer emcee and vocalist, he sold his soul to Pfizer and ironically the CIA too, considering they flat out co sponsor the “comirnaty” vaccine back in 2020. Y’all need to quit playin and start researching
Zack's gotta be my favourite rapper at this point
mniej więcej jak Gomułka
Last Emperor drops one of the best verses in hip-hop history!
100%
Thank you, I thought I was crazy when everyone only praises Zack and I thought his verse was the weakest.
They only like his part because they are Rage fans
@@youtubesucks1821 they all killed it. 3 great verses
@@youtubesucks1821 I thought it was good Zack brought attention to Frantz Fanon and the wretched of the earth. Everyone should read it.
Thanx for the continued support everyone. New Last Emperor/ MADSOL album entitled "PROGRAMME", out now on BANDCAMP. Peace!! "PROGRAMME
The world needs now Zack de la rocha voice more than ever.
6 months later this comment aged well... if that's the appropriate term. 6 month ago us had no idea...
Honestly we do need him back
Meanwhile Tom Morello is busy raging on behalf of the machine...
Zack is one of the few rap rockers that's for real about his flow, definitely held his own with KRS.
For my money, Zack’s verse is one of the best in rap history. No filler, just straight up fury and truth. And to incorporate a Frantz Fanon book into your bars, straight up mastery.
There's a saying "spitting rhymes", but the way Zack delivers is so vicious, it really does sound like he's spitting those rhymes.
On Centre of the Storm with Roni Size he calls himself the Truth Shit Spitter among other awesome titles.
I was literally coming to reply on that! I was gonna quote 'you smell smoke? I dip my tongue in gunpowder then I clear my throat' @alfonsov.7291
We need Zack back. Kids too busy listening to aspirational rap to realize their rights are being trampled and we’re slipping back to Jim Crow laws.
I’m here. Been a fan for around 4 months but I knew of him thanks to my dad.
He's on the new Run the Jewels record and sounds great!
He’s as close as your nearest RATM album.
Doesn't have to be with Rage - we love his flow and his message.
Give us one example
The 90s was such a golden age of rap.
Les années 90 étaient l'âge d'or du rap.
Die 90er waren das goldene Zeitalter der Rapmusik
90-talet var en sådan guldålder av rap.
You sold your strip from the the 70ies hey.
Los 90 fueron la era de oro del rap
what song is that of Big L.
The Last Emperor is probably the most imaginative MC ever!
Most of his lines flow over heads
LAST EMP
Thanx bro. Much love... Peace -LAST EMP
@@jamalgray8694 dude, emp.......... i still jam to your track black magic... calms me man..

WOOP WOOP! Ha hah, that's the sound of EMS
Ha hah, Last Emperor, KRS
Ha hah, Big Zack you know the rest
Now we gonna come down like this now, hold tight all crew
LISTEN!!
[Zack de la Rocha]
This voice shatters the calm of the day, like an alarm
To wake up badder youth, and take up arms
Cause more is necessary than vocabulary war
Cause the toxic rock imports, gettin on your door
C.I.A. I see ya later, cause your time is comin soon
I flip the shit like, Pacino and it's your Dog Day Afternoon
Attica Attica, drug agents your bring your static-a
My alphabet will slash that neck and flip you, automatica
Dramatic, like Ali Shaheed Muhammed brought the vibe
I bring the sun at Red Dawn to pull the thoughts of Franz Fanon
So stand at attention, devil dirge
You never survive choosin sides against the wretched of the earth
The infiltrator, tribe intoxicator, people incarcerator
Liberation movement annihilator
We got you clocked pushin rocks and it fail
We got brothers troopin subways like the Ho Chi Manh trail
We got the truth data, Last Emperor, KRS and
history manifested, tomorrow next lesson
[Chorus: all together, with samples]
YOU CLAIM I'M SELLIN CRACK, BUT YOU BE DOIN THAT
"You, claim, you claim, you, you claim, claim
You, claim I'm sellin crack, but you be doin that" --> KRS
[Zach] You know the cops they got a network for the toxic rock
YOU CLAIM I'M SELLIN CRACK, BUT YOU BE DOIN THAT
"So get that flashlight out of my face" -> Big L
"You, you, you claim I'm sellin crack, but you be doin that" --> KRS
[KRS] The Last Emperor, KRS-One, and Big Zack
[The Last Emperor]
As free market capitalism and technology expands
The third world's fertile soil becomes a desert wasteland
So it takes bands to, demand the, government provide answers
when Lady Liberty has me Bewitched like Samantha
And poverty is one of the most malignant forms of cancer
to all my Black Magic romancers and acid rain dancers
Develop close ties like Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza
We fear no man and throw jams that attack counterintelligence programs
Exciting like the epic adventures of Conan (hah!)
I colonize minds like Zaire by the Belgians
Now what the hell is the problem with this system and what it sells us
I bring ancient relics like Wyclef did to Zealots
I saw an Iron Curtain called hip-hop and got it open like Boris Yeltsin
Whirlwind, tornadoes, in the rain forest if you say so (whosssshhh)
KRS and The Last Emperor like the Green Hornet and Kato
Zach de la Rocha brings the enraged flow, but all three drop science
and become the most powerful alliance since NATO
[Chorus: all together, with samples]
YOU CLAIM I'M SELLIN CRACK, BUT YOU BE DOIN THAT
"You, claim I'm sellin crack, but you be doin that" --> KRS
YOU CLAIM I'M SELLIN CRACK, BUT YOU BE DOIN THAT
[Zach] You know the cops they got a network for the toxic rock
YOU CLAIM I'M SELLIN CRACK, BUT YOU BE DOIN THAT
"So get that flashlight out of my face" -> Big L
YOU CLAIM I'M SELLIN CRACK, BUT YOU BE DOIN THAT
[KRS] The Last Emperor, KRS-One, and Big Zack
[KRS-One]
Need I say the C.I.A. be Criminals In Action
Cocaine crack unpackin, high surveillance trackin
Prominant blacks and whites givin orders for mass slaughters
I want all my daughters to be like Maxine Waters
When they flooded the streets with crack cocaine
I was like Noah, now they lower cause the whole cold war is over
Communism fell to the dollars you were grabbin it
All the assault and batterin in the name of intelligence gatherin?
Now it's karma you battlin, a losin fight
I chose the mic to recite ignite light in the night, aight?
We should beat em, President Clinton should delete em
it's not hard, the C.I.A. simply has no more job
Oh my Goddess, mother, you can fix this
We rock over mixes not six six sixes
Yo this is, the message, to all that can hear it
If you got secret information now's the time to share it
Call your Congresswoman, your senator, your mayor
It's time for all the scholars to unite with all the players
Rearrangin, see times are definitely changin G
They used to tap the phone, now they tappin while you pagin me
It's crazy B, yet it's plain to see, who the enemy
Who's left the NRA? The ATF, the AMA?
Okay okay, it's all irrelevant, cause in the new millenium
there'll be no Central Intelligence
Uh, yea, uh, yea
Throw your hands up
You know whassup kid, throw your hands up
Ha hah yeah, hah hah, yeah
Commenting so I can come back here
Had to remind my own damn self lmao
And again lmao I want this comment to be higher up so I'm gonna keep commenting every time I listen to this and remember lmaoo
Last emperor one of the most underrated MCs of his generation.
The first Lyricist Lounge was a true classic. The second just couldn't live up to the raw energy and sound from the first installment.
Lyricist Lounge 1 and Soundbombing 2 were the best of the bunch. But damn Rawkus was such a movement.
“I bring the sun at ‘Red Dawn’
upon the thoughts of Frantz Fanon;
So stand at attention, devil dirge:
You'll never survive choosin' sides against the ‘Wretched of the Earth.’”
That’s gold, Jerry! Gold!
Fuk yeah
Zach has the best sounding voice amongst all rappers and rock singers IMO. Flow just as good as any rapper. Meaning behind his words is best in any game.
It's not THAT deep lol
I think so. Passion, fury. It comes from deep inside you
I agree very basic
Zack is one of the best lyricists
This is real Hip Hop, not for our entertainment or for them making money, this is music in a form of art sending a real message with lyrics full wisdom, knowledge and the truth.
Like you Said real hip-hop..
Griots, voices of the riots.
Check out the coup, show yo ass is a good starting place
Damn right, Alex, from Alex...word.
'sides, tho, Al-X, these homies ain't need no moolah...heard?
Oh, the sound of real hip hop, I missed you! Please come back.
Who's here to hear Zach, his energy needs to be the voice of '20 protests
yo! that is spanish for me, yo!
hehehe
I doubt Zach gives a fuck about Soros puppets, FOH!
@@McCloud23892 LOL
@@McCloud23892 what
Zero wolf is a nazi bitch
Zack voice is perfect
This brought me back when hipHOP make sense. I'm an old metal head this shot is fkng hot.
Zack, if you reading this; we need that same energy right now son. Come back.
Pure underground rap sound from 90"s!!!!what else can we ask for....
The industry needs this now more than ever. Props to krs for performing at the gathering this year! All love!
The 90s was my 60s for music, now I get what my parents where on about back then!
We need music like this now now than ever!!
Zach murdered this...
Real shit!!! I’m 48 and remember and miss these flows, real McIng . Boom bap beats
Honestly one of my favourite hip-hop tracks of all time 🔥🔥🔥 "I colonize minds like Zaire by Belgians"
Except what he said about Maxine Waters,she's a sellout.
Grew up listening to this legend. Lyrical genius 👍
Listened to this song over and over when it came out. Still dope.
X2
The Last Emperor . man, that guy has BARS
I'm ashamed to say I didn't know much, if anything about him before listening to this song. Gotta do my homeworker now. Haha
Robert Stan. Secret wars by last emporer. You'll tank me later
Yes he does.
He's a very underrated mc and goes just as hard as Zack and KRS on this track.
@@ianbryant824 We never underrated Last Emperor, speaking for my cloud.
Regardless of how many times I hear Zack's lyrics, he always makes me google sh** over and over: "This voice shatters the calm of the day, like an alarm

Yessss! I have been waiting for years for someone to repost this!!
De la Rocha definition of mcing and rebel from heart. Flow and delivery are amazing.
Best collab ever.The last emperor is the most underrated rapper of all the time.He dropped an album last year and this year but nobody cares about it.
People care. I've been following Last Emp since his early days. He's just one of those MCs that speaks the truth and real shit and the fact is there's too many people out there/here that can't get down with it because they don't understand it.
Jungle Jim baby!!

This was my favorite song in 8th grade, & all these years later I think Last Emperor might have had the best verse! Idk. The whole song still goes! 🔥 🔊
Zach sounds so good on a hip hop track!!
TOPICALLY THIS WAS WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME. WORD TO EDWARD SNOWDEN
Agreed

What do you think about Mr. Snowden? I think he just did his duty, to protect his fellow Americans from abuse of power.
I've been leveling up by listening to Chris since the bridge battles on bootleg cassette. Zack around 28 years. Love you guys.
ULTIMATE COMBO. WE ARE LISTENING & RESPECTING THESE LIVING LEGENDS
KRS is such a lyrical genius!
Please Zach, please, finish a full on rap record. We need it!
I’m still wearing my clothes from the 90s 😂
I still have some of mine as well. But the ones I actually wore in the 90s on the regular became part of the 90s.

Ikr!!!
I've been bumping this since around 99 when I picked up Lyricist Lounge Vol. 1. I'm sorry you guys didn't know about it until now but at least you finally got it! As a huge real hip hiop head and Rage/Zach head this track meant so much to me when it first came out. Peace fellas!
Right there with you. Love RATM and KRS but never heard this.
@@STEVEWONDA1976 That a CD?
Lyricist loungen it
Still rock it like it’s new. The 90’s was the pinnacle for hip hop imo.
2020 is not dead in music , as we see , hits are alive still !!!! Eternal quality !!!!!
I think I'll wear a champion hoodie with my timberland boots today.
I love those "La Murga " horns, digging in those "Lavoe" crates.
siii
Siiiii.....yo sabía que había un ritmo que me sonaba a mi infancia......gracias!!!! Eso era!!!!!! La murga!!!! Fucking yeah man!!!!! Cheers mate!!!! Paz!!!!
Zach is the man👊
This is a hip hop classic!! Lyricist Lounge Volume 1 was a dope complication. All three emcees got busy on the mic. But yo The Last Emperor murdered this joint!!!! "Develop close ties like Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza"
What a classic,,, dam i miss these days...this is still soooo dope what banger...blasting this fru some filthy big subs.
Most people don't know the CIA literally came to his house and threatened him to break up his band rage against the machine... Look it up. Ask him.
KRS has the best vocal tone, the best flow and the deepest lyrics. PERIOD
Zach is a huge fan of KRS.
Sick shit, 3 immensely unique MCs
have never heard this song before…. that Big L sample CRAZY. although i was born after this song was released, i still wish rap was still like this man. at least i can still see rappers like nas and wu tang live loool
Oh, maan, *Uproxx Video* - Thank you for uploading all that 80-90s gems in good quality!
Every notification from you is like little gift for me!
Real hip-hop Take me back to the classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥2019? 2020?
I love everything about this song forever ❣🎸❤
As the own KRS-One said once "there are two types of hip-hop: for adults and for immature youths, there's no problem, but the problem is when those immature youths never grows up to become adults."
I remember when the video for My Philosophy came out. The rapping, the lyrics... It blew my mind. And he’s still got it. Great to see Zach beside him. Love and Respect from NYCity!! 🕉☯️
Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone
Just heard a song with Zack and Los Tigres del Norte. This dude is a righteous truth seeker. I didn't know he spoke Spanish. The song talks about Native Americans or Native Mexicans " Indians " being discriminated against but are more American than the European American. Great song. These artists speak the truth.
haven't heard this in years...🔥🔥🔥🔥
So hard to pick but I'm going with the Last Emperor on this one. Kills it
Ill flow
its not a competition though
This is real hip hop, these 3 brothers killed it over this ill ass beat.
I'm still playing the icon legend #KRSONE This Is Still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Insaaaaane!!!!! Respect From Brazil 🇧🇷 🥷
FIRST HEARD THIS ON THE LYRICIST LOUNGE CD
Zach is always gonna be in my Top 5.
Rawkus Record's Lyricists Lounge and Soundbombing.... I feel so lucky to have been a teen when these came out. Skating, tagging, and good hip hop. When a new era was $20 and nobody left the sticker on. Skipped school to go buy hip hop albums on their release date, admire the cover art and browse the CD booklet. I remember calling some phone number that sold cds where you could listen to parts of songs. Had the same Playboy hidden in a hole in fabric on the bottom of my box spring for ever because porn was so hard for a teen to come by then. I think that well studied issue of Playboy taught me how to be monogamous, haha, still with my wife after 17 years.
Those were the glory days.
Word up bro!
And you've still got the Playboy hidden in the box sprung of the marital bed lol
so thankful to have found zack de la rocha
Zack is Ragin’ and KRS is Fire on this... 90’s real
Grew up listening to De La Rocha w/R.A.T.M. and KRS with Fat Joe,Crazy Collaborations we need a revival of the Greats with the Contemporary Hip Hop Artist including those up and coming as well!
#BUFFALO,NEW YORK
#QUEENCITY716ers
I'm going to admit I just looked up pugalist today, despite my incident 25 years ago involving psychedelic visions and I swear a mind meld with Zack...hahaha...
He's a prize fighter, he bought rings and he owns kin, now he's swinging, now he's the Champion.
I swear I was married to him in another lifetime or planet.
ZDLR is officially my God and #1 crush of all time!
Being brilliant AND brave is a blessing and a curse if you have a conscious. His words are irrefutable and can't be stifled.
Loving the idea of this upcomimg RATM tour with RTJ!
Be sure the check out "One Day As A Lion" he's unstoppable and still wicked on stage at 50!
Super dope!!! De La Rocha I been waitin on

purple beard b real isn’t Chicano. He’s Cuban. But this white Latino is aight. Nothing special. Best Latin rapper is big pun. Hands down. Best Chicano rappers is delinquent habits
@@donrobertoni I thought just Sen Dog was Cuban.
donrobertoni obviously this guy has never listened to RATM
@@donrobertoni nah B Real is half mexican and cuban
Happy birthday Zach we love you
In my opinion this is ahead of time.
