Raggamuffin hip hop it's hot, that style comes from the fast chat
Raggamuffin hip hop it's hot, that style comes from the fast chat
Raggamuffin hip hop it's hot, that style comes from the fast chat

Pupa could you tell we, where does the fast chat coming from?

1987, London city
Daddy freddy featuring Asher D
Same year, NYC
Boogie down production first LP
1993 roughneck reality
By the wicked wicked MC Jamal-ski
Jump spread out and hanging tree
This LP is legendary
1994 take it easy
Double trouble and own destiny
Mad Lion is a pure MC
Real ting was a great LP
Shinehead, rough and rugged and unity
Roots rap reggae by Run DMC
Big up big up, to the whole BDP
This was ragga hiphop history

Raggamuffin hip hop it's hot, that style come from the fast chat
Raggamuffin hip hop it's hot, that style come from the fast chat
Fast chat is was fat now it's back it's still hot
Fast chat is was fat now it's back it's still hot

1982, London area
Peter King the fast style originator
Followed by papa levy and smiley culture
Tippa Irie and Asher Senator
Me neat me sweet was the first time ever
Me God me king was number 1 in Jamaica
Smiley did a hit with police officer
Cockney translation was a big number
Tippa did a tune with complain neighbour
Keeping ina dance by smiley and asher
Colonel mite did bless the selector
Offbeat posse jah tubbys do you remember
Riddle bubble done by daddy sandy
Daddy colonel did a tune take a tip from me
No no way by daddy rusty
Bad boy patrol by daddy freddy
Fast chat was big you have to trust me
It was even broadcasted on the telly
It changed the way of MCing permanently
From London to New York City
