Didn’t start listening to real hip hop until about 2 years ago. Can’t go back and I’m on a different plane of existence to everyone i know haha. Seriously it’s sad being a white boy who knows more black music than anyone in my nearby towns. They bump stupid shit like Dababy and think it’s good 😂.
We gotta to teach the children...that's how classics like this will never die!!! I lost my shit the first time I heard this in 94. And that man wasn't lyin when he said he'll be rocking the microphone til he's 60. The Blast Master gonna be a senior citizen destroying whatever MCs are left
I'm 46...was prime when this came out...lol...just told my almost 15 year old son..."there's NO rap touching this today!!!...NONE!!" 2022 & forever!! #madizm
His latest album is good, too. Usually i don't listen to 90s rappers putting out new music because they sound washed up. But krs one's 2022 album is slamming. I think it works that good, because krs-one's style fits an older person. A style that lives of his youthful energy will always sound washed up when created by a 40-50+ guy. But krs style has no age limit
thats cuz when we were kidd we had to actually buy a cd to hear this kind of music, or know someone who was hip to it and played it for us… i discovered soooo many dope 90s hip hop artists like 10-20 yrs after they were popular because of this… ps i was born in 1990 😊90s hip hop was the golden age, 80s-90s
I was born 1999. To this day my playlist include strictly 90's rap, the genre is huge and I'm always discovering "new" artists featuring some of my favorite artists. The energy 90's era music brought is unmatched by any modern artist. Music grows, but 90's will always reign supreme.
@ monk .2 bad you wasn't around in the late 70s and 80s then you would have the 70s, 80s, and 90s plus the non gangster hip hop was better more creative and more diverse with the artists and the songs like kwame for instance hip hop was far far far far far far more diverse and creative what about black hippie hip hop like de la soul and black conciousness like public enemy and battles like Kool Moe Dee and LL and boogie down productions and juice crew etc etc
I remember hearing this from my older sister in like 95 and being engraved by that beat and then trying to find this song years later before RUclips..and finally I heard it in bmores 92q station in 2002 and for a friend to limewire it on a CD for me..lol the struggle
"COUNTER CLOCKWISE, I RISE LIKE THE SUN. NOW I FEEL THE HEAT FROM THE RAYS/RAISE OF THE GUN." What a brilliant display of metaphorical, analogous, word-craft that redefines the dynamics of thinking on infinite levels. The strength of this art back then was so much more powerful than the dilapidated state it has fallen in today. All respect due to our scholars who represented the "Generation X" class with rebellious honor. PEACE!
Channel Live was so freaking underrated and they had that KRS-One approval. They had so many bangers - Mad-Izm, Reprogram, Sex for the Sport. I wish they had more longevity. I'm so proud to be an 80s baby raised in the 90s - my favorite era of music!!!
These cats weren't high on the rap food chain back then. KRS always helps on a track, no matter whose track it is. That being said..... THESE DUDES WOULD EAT TODAY'S RAPPERS FOR LUNCH!!!
They were not high on the food chain but it does proves the wide rage of quality or rap we had the pool of rappers we had we plenty and the quality was very high
It's hard for underground hip hop to get those kinds of views...My wife is white and 50 years old and never heard of KRS ONE before. It's just the nature of the underground
"Switch me, mix me, somebody get me. Don't let me rip out my clothes like Bill Bixby. Rippin' the microphone till I'm motherfuckin' 60. Smoking the indo by the window, it's sticky." Smh... song was over after that. And to think, all of his verses were off the dome and done in one take. Smh..
@@wanassmoke His last verse was doper, "step up and test the skills, you can get my testicles." He did kill it, but KRS went off and I think he sealed the deal with that Bill Bixby line.
Say Spark Mad Izm to someone in their teens and they'll think you said some new shyt...lol. These catz made me step my lyric game up when they came out!!! Spark the izm...my expertism is lyricism...my flow will take you over like I was hypnotism...classic!!!
Big thanks to Vic aka RELM IYA rip who introduced this song to me krs one is one of my favorite song killer !!! I miss them days man Kensington Philly back in the 90s
Yo! Still be pumpin this out my ride! ...these young peeps can't hang with this! They be looking stupid when i Rock Old Skool Beats & Rymes! (#the youth be calling me " Old School" Out here in my Houston area! )
I was 8 when they shot this video and it feels weired just knowing i possibly was running around somewhere when they shot this video 0:34 is N.19th st and Eaton place around this time i probably was at Oval Park across the street on the old Big swings those thats old enough and from the area remember those big swings we use to stand on ....😊
Golden days, man i wish i can go back and blow out at this time with this playing and us just hanging with feels like no worries in the world... BoroPark Brooklyn stand up. Listening 2023..
I wish I were alive early enough to get the excitement of having these rhymes on tape, or hoping to see em pop up on the TV. This era rap was/is everything, absolute heat.
All we do is spark mad izm...classic. Love from Boston. White dude from Boston and this was my sh*T in high school. Spark my izm, my expertisiam, is lyrisisam? flow will take you over like I was Hypnotism. What? Love it!

Big up to all the 90's teenagers who are still bumpin' real hip-hop today and keepin' it alive. The older we get, the harder it seems to become.

Yeah, this was Channel Live's moment.
35? You mean 29...
True story bro 🔥🔥🔥
KRS wasn't joking when he said he'd be rapping in his 60s. He's still putting out music! ✊🏿
IKR!!! STILL SOUNDING BETTER THAN 90% OF THE RAPPERS OUT NOW!!
He’s trash now

Krs one is one of the greatest of all time...hands down
Agree!!
Was he is losingit , very few around 50 still got it , bUT KRIS IS 53

No doubt, he's #1 in my hip hop book,WORD!.

CHIZZO P truth !

Keep digging young man. Gems 💎 💎 💎

For your collection
This tune still sounds fresh and it’s nearly 30.
One of my favourite beats, like ever.
And that nicely humming bassline 👌
It's got a very ominous tone, also the boom-bap never fails me.
I remember hearing this from my older sister in like 95 and being engraved by that beat and then trying to find this song years later before RUclips..and finally I heard it in bmores 92q station in 2002 and for a friend to limewire it on a CD for me..lol the struggle
Qq+⁰q
The amount of times this goes on Replay is unimaginable
🔥🔥😎👊🏾
If you weren't born during this era but happen to be here your taste in music just refined.
How can you listen to trap music when u have songs like this.
Oldschool 4 life
I used to listen to this when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.
Every second of this is a Masterpiece, the Lyrical Dexterity is a Higher Level Masterclass in Lyricism.
Power, Power, Power 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
And the production is that New York Boom Bap! Strings.. classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼
As you said " every second of this is a master piece"
Masterpiece in my book!
I cant decide what i enjoy the most, the actual music or the lyrics and flows. Impeccable writing.
"COUNTER CLOCKWISE, I RISE LIKE THE SUN. NOW I FEEL THE HEAT FROM THE RAYS/RAISE OF THE GUN."

Wow , your comment is well said. KRS-ONE = TEACHER
and seeing it in text the raise of the gun 😱
" dilapidated state " of hip hop today ......well said.
Poetically stated brilliance...🎶🔥👉🏾
One of the greatest hip hop tunes ever! The 90's will never be repeated.
The episode starts as I walk down the block.....KRS ONE
Such a sick beat! Bass line hitting hard
THAT BASS IS BEASTLY
KRS hoarding the boards here paid off!
Straight chills to this day, glad I’m from the 90’s era🔥👏🏽
KRS 1 ...Still One Of The Most Relevant MC' S Of Hip Hop To This DAY. 🤜🏾💪🏾✌🏾
Spamm crooks corner wana see him drop jems on crooked i
Facts 💯
One of the greatest to ever touch the mic. 💯
This is pure unadulterated hip hop at its finest.
Channel Live was so freaking underrated and they had that KRS-One approval. They had so many bangers - Mad-Izm, Reprogram, Sex for the Sport. I wish they had more longevity. I'm so proud to be an 80s baby raised in the 90s - my favorite era of music!!!
2023 visiting 1994 and like bruh, please bring this 🔥 back in rotation.
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is a masterpiece!
New York please take rap back!
Derek Wood north east. The tri-states
NY take hip hop back where it belongs.
I'm building a time machine. Jump on board!
I would say "East Coast"

The Nostalgia is mad real with this Track I Love It!!!
the way the scratching blended with the beat is so amazing
For sure. Especially when that crazy ass sample kicks in at the end of the hook. Always gives me chills.

MAADIZIMZ till infinity!!
90's and early 00's...tha Golden era of hip hop and rap no doubt. We never gone see somthing like that ever...sory my inglish im from Portugal.props🇵🇹
Chills when I hear this....real hip hop, top jams of all time!, suckas now can't compare!
One of the most 🔥🔥🔥 beats back in da days and even by today’s standards
THIS JOINT USED TO KNOCK IN THE WHIP BACK THEN AND TODAY IT STILL DOES. THIS IS ONE OF THE DOPEST TRACKS OF ALL TIME. KRS-ONE RIPPED THIS TRACK APART.
2023 and it’s still a banger. I think I was 10 when it came out.
"Don't make me rip out my clothes like Bill Bixby" is one of the hardest lines EVER!!! Straight up!!!
If I have to explain to you who Bill Bixby is, you'll never get it!
These cats weren't high on the rap food chain back then. KRS always helps on a track, no matter whose track it is. That being said..... THESE DUDES WOULD EAT TODAY'S RAPPERS FOR LUNCH!!!
They were not high on the food chain but it does proves the wide rage of quality or rap we had the pool of rappers we had we plenty and the quality was very high
Big time
when this came out boy i was hype .. those drums
This only got 600K views? This should easily be in the 10s of Millions....this is one of the golden eras of rap!
AMEN!!!
Im trying to get this played on knox hill reaction channel
15 mill easy.
It's hard for underground hip hop to get those kinds of views...My wife is white and 50 years old and never heard of KRS ONE before. It's just the nature of the underground
There was only one golden era….
Verzuz...brought me back here again. This WILL NEVER GET OLD! #CLASSIC BEAT IS 🔥🔥🔥
I love it! Verzuz definitely helps
Fire
Man this is a classic right here this just shut down the New York area when it came out
This beat should be played on all freestyles
Ray Ray Yes!
i agree and i type this as i listen for the first time
all these shitty rappers need to be put up against the lyrical ability of these true MCs
Absolutely
I know right!!!
"Wake up in the morning got the yearning for herb, which loosens up the nouns metaphors and verbs"
SO MANY DOPE BARS. Ain't no favorites.
This shit is still FIRE🙌🙌🙌🙌

KRS-ONE killed it
As usual

"Switch me, mix me, somebody get me. Don't let me rip out my clothes like Bill Bixby. Rippin' the microphone till I'm motherfuckin' 60. Smoking the indo by the window, it's sticky."
Smh... song was over after that. And to think, all of his verses were off the dome and done in one take. Smh..
Spark the izm
My expertise
Is lyricism
My flow will take you over
Like this was hypnotizm...
That dude killed everyone on this track hands down
@@wanassmoke His last verse was doper, "step up and test the skills, you can get my testicles." He did kill it, but KRS went off and I think he sealed the deal with that Bill Bixby line.
