Krs1 is the Bruce Lee of hip hop. A true master of the craft who has gone on to make timeless music. We known bruce Lee as the best martial artists it wasn't only the fighting that made him the best it was the understanding of the art and mind manipulation. True diligence and appreciation. Krs1 has done the same and hip hop. To say he is the best will only open him up to scrutiny in a game that has so many players that lack knowledge. Krs1 is a great teacher a true hip hop legend till this day I still blast krs1 boom bap being one of my favorite of his albums. God bless this man and his ventures he hold so much knowledge we can only hope he writes more books.
I can feel that spirit all day. KRS is a one-of-a-kind MC. That ain't all, he also shares his knowledge and believes in everybody with light within themselves. He's a real role model. He represents the REALHip Hop, for real.
+Jim Brow Guru's my favorite MC of all time. that said, I was only arguing Chuck D's case in regard to whom 'suffered/endured" etc most for the better cause of Hip-Hop. I don't believe in a best emcee ever.
"But just don't compare me to the next G. KRS-ONE: when you get older you'll respect me!" yes because you're the best, nigga! KRS-ONE hip hop's leader are you!
there is no wealth like knowledge and no poverty like ignorance.... the one philosopher who's words both destroy and heal and his words are true poetry.....
first ever rap record was from krs one, it changed my life. forgot and just wanted to get listen to him, clicked on the first song, and got this masterpiece. just genius.
Most intelectual MC ever!,you should write a book because of him!..Hip Hop Culture wearing dreadlocks and holding a Mic. Salute form Dominican Republic
The System Gotcha [Hook] x2 So if you think you're too old Your thinking that you're too cold You gave up on your true goals The system gotcha I'm giving you a new soul You're never ever too old To manifest your true goals Or the system gotcha [Verse 1] You're never too old to sell a key So how could you be too old to emcee? I'm from where it originated so get me Why would I stop what I created, even at sixty? Shout out to Herc and Cindy Hip hop lifts me and never left me You know where KRS be Right there where the best be When I spit a free I can't help it if that's how God blessed me So I'm never empty, writer's block never tempts me With twenty albums I mastered this evidently So I ask you gently You don't see how to spot me on the block with my cla**ic medley? I can't stop, people won't let me I don't talk s**y, but I do come correctly and you can check me But just don't compare me to the next G KRS-ONE: when you get older you'll respect me [Hook] [Verse 2] I keep it moving all over the country Doing underground spots with the ceiling above me I keep it dark and ugly, microphone crusty We will be here forever; trust me I rock the spots that be dusty and banged out I do house parties, raves and gang hangouts Others took the same route, we didn't take the main route You know who they are, I ain't gotta call they name out They superstars, but in 1986 you ain't know who we are And notice when I said "who we are", as opposed to "who we were" Cause the past and future already occurred, but it was blurred Time reversal symmetry just occurred My being is timeless if the future remembers me And there's no end to me, word! Past and future happen at the same time, especially in the memory We share the same mind. Images of my future telling me the same sign In 1983 who I'd be in '09, but it's past 2011 and I flow fine Rapping at 70? Believe that it's no crime These youngins rent they style, I own mine As you can see, I don't be relying on my old rhymes I'm spitting raw rhymes, right here, right now 25 years, I never put the mic down
This 1 is really speaking to me. I used to write raps & made a few songs as a teenager & dabbled into my 20's just as a hobby but of course I got a job & have continued to strive into the Ent. industry. I've been on the behind the scenes part of the biz which has been great to an extent but it doesn't fulfill my creative side. KRS always seems to come along with something inspiring!
before i ever fix my mouth to say im not a fan of rap, i come here and the whole genre is redeemed. But there's a difference in Rappers and Hiphop i guess.
No homelessness and poverty is the system that got me and nobody has ever helped me. I'm a child of Ra which is reason for one to believe I deserve this.
Your never too old.. Id rather listen to a guy 65 years old who has a dope album over a 18 year old punk who has nothing to talk about.. Till hell freezes over another God once said.
"when you get older, you'll respect me" Love KRS.
i have already respected
man im listenin KRS 1 from 2002 :D and 1000000x respects evryday :D im 28 now :D
That bar speaks directly to me.
I liked him back around 97-98 but didn't pay attention to what he was spittin. Know I RESPECT him.
I❤️
FACTS! 💯
The legend, the founder, the teacher, the knowledgeable who reigns supremely over nearly everyone.

DRE MIZU yup
I dont speak Inglish my friend, but a ready everthing you wrote, big man KRS One.

Nah KRS One ain’t the GOAT.
Young Finesse then who is ma brothet?
Astralsoof each rapper is the best of each decade and generation.
I can feel that spirit all day. KRS is a one-of-a-kind MC. That ain't all, he also shares his knowledge and believes in everybody with light within themselves. He's a real role model. He represents the REALHip Hop, for real.
KRS ONE the greatest MC
Lyrical Master.
that's why ur account is wu tang? HAHAHAHA sorry my mind dont let me stay quiet hahahahahahahahhaha
Hashkizofrenik O there all legends
saleh alsaqran word
Wu Tang The Greatest MC Of All Time!
The best emcee of all time period. Nobody in Hip Hop has suffered more for the better cause of Hip Hop.
What about Chuck D?
TheCrunchySopa Also, Guru?
+Jim Brow Guru's my favorite MC of all time. that said, I was only arguing Chuck D's case in regard to whom 'suffered/endured" etc most for the better cause of Hip-Hop. I don't believe in a best emcee ever.
TheCrunchySopa Chuck D may have been the most Vicious on the mic too, but Maybe ICE Cube too, back then!
TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR!!!!!
KRS-One is still gonna be spitting new shit when he's 70 and I hope I lives a million years more after that
“Love yourself and your expression, you can't go wrong.” -KRS One
Word up
shut up bitch. U ugly
Stfu bitch. Go listen to drake. Girls aren't aloud to listen to real hip hop like krs one so go listen to yg
+Michael Frazier why are you so disrespectful?
Richard w why is your hair so long at the left side and bald at the right side
my son is 10.. and he swears krs is the best of all time overall ( because of skills and longevity) & i agree 100%..
KRS One is head and shoulders above the rest.
"But just don't compare me to the next G.
KRS-ONE: when you get older you'll respect me!"
yes because you're the best, nigga! KRS-ONE hip hop's leader are you!
KRS One is my all time favorite emcee. I've been buying his records since day 1 and will continue to do so for as long as he makes them.
there is no wealth like knowledge and no poverty like ignorance.... the one philosopher who's words both destroy and heal and his words are true poetry.....
Krs one is hip hop.
Nice
Greatest MC Of All Time! . The number 1-2-3-4-5 and 6....
One Of The original OG's to out live most MC's

Real hip hop still lives. Thank you KrsOne
Living Legend, oldschool style master , real Underground. Your voice always with me.
Most intelectual MC ever!,you should write a book because of him!..Hip Hop Culture wearing dreadlocks and holding a Mic.
Salute form Dominican Republic
The Greatest Emcee Of All Time!
Damn this is straight fire..... This single destroys your new age favorite rapper. Period!
This is that sound we need today. And it comes as a blast from the past by grand master krs ONE! in the flesh!
I still got the 'Break the Chains' illustrated (one as a collectors item it is in the origal plastic and a second I enjoy while reading).
KRS-ONE is a BEAST.! Real talk from Rhyme
BEST MC ON PLANET
That's exactly the track I needed to hear right now!
The System Gotcha
[Hook] x2
So if you think you're too old
Your thinking that you're too cold
You gave up on your true goals
The system gotcha
I'm giving you a new soul
You're never ever too old
To manifest your true goals
Or the system gotcha
[Verse 1]
You're never too old to sell a key
So how could you be too old to emcee?
I'm from where it originated so get me
Why would I stop what I created, even at sixty?
Shout out to Herc and Cindy
Hip hop lifts me and never left me
You know where KRS be
Right there where the best be
When I spit a free I can't help it if that's how God blessed me
So I'm never empty, writer's block never tempts me
With twenty albums I mastered this evidently
So I ask you gently
You don't see how to spot me on the block with my cla**ic medley?
I can't stop, people won't let me
I don't talk s**y, but I do come correctly and you can check me
But just don't compare me to the next G
KRS-ONE: when you get older you'll respect me
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I keep it moving all over the country
Doing underground spots with the ceiling above me
I keep it dark and ugly, microphone crusty
We will be here forever; trust me
I rock the spots that be dusty and banged out
I do house parties, raves and gang hangouts
Others took the same route, we didn't take the main route
You know who they are, I ain't gotta call they name out
They superstars, but in 1986 you ain't know who we are
And notice when I said "who we are", as opposed to "who we were"
Cause the past and future already occurred, but it was blurred
Time reversal symmetry just occurred
My being is timeless if the future remembers me
And there's no end to me, word!
Past and future happen at the same time, especially in the memory
We share the same mind. Images of my future telling me the same sign
In 1983 who I'd be in '09, but it's past 2011 and I flow fine
Rapping at 70? Believe that it's no crime
These youngins rent they style, I own mine
As you can see, I don't be relying on my old rhymes
I'm spitting raw rhymes, right here, right now
25 years, I never put the mic down
🙏✊🏼❣️
The Teacha, one of best MC's off all time
