Im Chillin Lyrics

Chill out, transformers, born to meet the skies
Transformers, more than meet the eyes
T-Bone, go, go, Kurtis blow y'all
Gimme the bomb, I'm chillin'
Go through it, dance
Now the next little item that I wanna discuss
Is the body-suckin' rappers that must be smokin' dust
When you make the kinda records that diss females
Frontin' on a story when it's just a tall tale
To diss a female is a lowdown shame
But you suckers make the records 'cause you wanna get fame
All you radio cats, don't play that crap
Can't you see they're messin' up in all the name of the rap
Now all these years rappers worked so hard
To give rappin' a name and all you rappers a job
But now you peasy-head B-boys get me upset
When you diss around and cut and then you just defect
Don't forget LaToya and the real Roxanne
Can't you think of somethin' else, you know what I'm sayin'?
But all you MC's just keep on illin', that's okay, 'cause I'm chillin'
Transformers, dance, born to meet the skies
I'm chillin', gimme the bomb
Now wherever you go I just want you to know
That I'm runnin' the show at twenty below
So let me tell you what it takes 'cause the others fake
It must've been imitate but those are the breaks
I'm a Leo the Lion, the lion with desire
When I'm rappin' on the mic, I set the world on fire
Devastatin', motivatin', complicatin', perpatratin'
Rappers who want to be on top
Stop, can't you see me in trouble, bo? It's rockin' the spot, yeah
And don't you ever forget it, trooper, workin' all day
It's time for Superman just to give you a break
Along with a go-go band, yes, yes, y'all
Can't you understand? What's the name of this jam?
I'm chillin', get funky, to the bridge
Get ready for it, y'all, get ready, baby
Alright, y'all, alright, here we go, y'all
Here I go, here I go, y'all, say what?
I said dance, I'm chillin'

Curtis "Kurtis Blow" Walker, (born on August 9, 1959, in Harlem, New York) is one of the pioneer rappers in the recording industry, and hip hop's first mainstream star. "The Breaks" (1980) is one of hip hop's undisputed classics, with its catchy disco tune and rapping style. Blow was influenced by DJ Hollywood.

He became an MC in his own right around 1977, and changed his name to Kurtis Blow (as in a body blow) at the suggestion of his manager, future rap mogul Russell Simmons. Blow began his career in New York City in the mid-1970s, when he was a breakdancer until switching to DJing under the name Kool DJ Kurt and then finally rapping. He was the first rapper to record a full length album on a major label (1979). This occurred after recording "Christmas Rappin", his first single; during this time, "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang became the first hit for hip hop. The whole field was derided as a fad, though, and thus there was much resistance to signing Blow. In 1980 he opened for reggae legend Bob Marley at the Madison Square Garden where he performed for an audience of 20,000.

He has appeared in several feature films, including Krush Groove and The Show. A duet with rock icon Bob Dylan called "Street Rock", appeared on Blow's 1986 album, Kingdom Blow[1] by special arrangement of Wayne Garfield (Garfield and Blow co-wrote, "Reasons For Wanting You" on Kingdom Blow)[2] and Debra Byrd, American Idol's head vocal coach and former Dylan backup singer (see album credits).[citation needed]

And in 2004, he recorded the song "Hey Everybody" with Max C and Bomfunk MC's for their album, Reverse Psychology. He also co-wrote songs with The Fat Boys, including their signature songs, "Fat Boys" (1984) and "The Fat Boys Are Back" (1985).

Kurtis Blow also became the first hip hop musician embraced by the mainstream advertising industry with his appearance in a commercial for the soft drink Sprite.

He is currently a DJ on Backspin 43, which is the old school hip hop station on the Sirius Satellite Radio service. According to an interview with I Suppose Productions, he is also currently a theology major at Nyack College working to enter the ministry. According to Blow, "Man's real telos... the real purpose in life, is to serve God." Read more on Last.fm.
