RPM's - Talib Kweli, Hi-Tek

In order to understand today’s modern phonograph record

We must understand the concept of revolutions per minute

Revolutions per minute refers to the unity of frequency of rotations

The number of full revolutions completed in one minute

Around a fixed axis.

It is used as a measure

Of rotational speed of a mechanical component, such as a record player

Unfortunately that doesn’t even exist any more

Talib Kweli + Hi-Tek on this particular record you’re about to here

Take revolutions per minute to a new dimension

A shift in the paradigm of hip-hop

Please be sure to download this recording

From your nearest internet provider

Which is in itself, a shift in the paradigm of music

May all of your dreams come true, tonight

And tomorrow as well

And on into the future…
