artiste: Nas
album: Hip Hop Is Dead
année: 2006

[Verse 1]
Red head kingpin, Tim Dogg? Have you seen 'em?
Kwame, King T, or King Son
Superlover C, Cassanova Run
Antwoinette, Rob Base never showin' up
You seen Black Sheep, Group Home, Busy B?
Ask Ill and Al Scratch "Where my Homies?"
Leave it to y'all, these niggas left for dead
Last week my man swore he saw Special Ed
Rap is like a ghost town, real mystic
Like these folks never existed
They the reason that rap became addictive
Play they CD or wax and get lifted
I recommend when ya kid turn ten
Let him hear Spice 1, made plenty noise
Positive K, Father MC, The Skinny Boys
Where are they now?

[Chorus]
Where are they now?

[Verse 2]
See I remember them forever
The original Spinderella
Lakim Shabazz, Nine Double M, Fu-Schnickens
Buckshot, Finesse and Sequence
Who was a rappin' duke? Daha
Silk tie and leather was cute
Body and soul was Dee from Pump It Up's group
Oaktown 357, J.J. Fad too
Had pop hits and gold ropes
Where my man Young MC and Tone Loc?
Kris Kross, the B.O.S.S., divine styler
Def Jef of course let's break it down ta
Mic Geronimo, Pharcyde and Coolio
I heard Craig Mack back in the studio
Have you seen these lost MC's
Funky Four Plus One, Force M.D.'s
Miss Melody, I hope she packin' a bankroll
As well as educated rap for ice and Kangol
Shante she from around my way yo
EPMD, K-Solo, where are they now?

[Chorus]
Where are they now?

QB... First off this ain't no diss record, this for some
of my homies that were misrepresented... Legends of the game...
You know? What up to Moe Dee the legend... Rest in peace Cowboy...
Yeah.. all the rappers... Male, female, DJ's, e'erybody... Rest
in peace Jam Master Jay, the whole crew... word up... Juice Crew
All-Stars... MC Shan, Tragedy, Craig G... yeah nigga, yeah nigga...
Shan what up baby? Where are they now?

First off this ain't no diss record, this for some
of my homies that were misrepresented

y'en a quand même dans le tas qui pourrait prendre ça pour un diss
