2008: KRS-One Keynote Address
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 дек 2014
- “Let’s get right to work!” KRS-One proved to be the Hippest Professor Ever, at the Music Conference during Canadian Music Week 2008. On-stage delivering the Keynote Address, KRS chose to stand, not sit. He worked the stage like a Maestro, describing himself as “a Philosopher by trade,” “a Hip Hop Historian,” stating “KRS-One is public domain.”
He talked, he taught, he rapped, he shared, he shouted and he cajoled, he moved the crowd with his passion. KRS discussed the history of Hip Hop, how it grew out of the sixties Civil Rights movement, discussed the “Hip Hop Concept of Community” and the battle between the Corporate and the Cultural. He was stunningly prescient on the subjects of Branding and Licensing, two words he never used, but two concepts he articulated quite clearly. "You'll understand it in five years."
KRS-One has been politically active since before forming the iconic Boogie Down Productions in the eighties. Never shy to speak his mind, KRS speaks out on Hip Hop Culture worldwide. He has formed the Stop the Violence Movement and the Temple of Hip Hop, while continuing his groundbreaking recording career.

"If you don't complement your friends,it's you that remains in poverty,the more you complement people the richer you get because you are surrounded by value" April 2020 here
You have to really see it and believe it tho. If complements are given at the wrong time it will backfire coz it's not felt in the heart.
Yeah surrounded by completely confused complemented compatriots
Nobody cares man, I say it for myself at this point 😂 that value cuz none of it in my vision but my boy
@@andrewburnett2581 You only thrive when you compliment or build others. That individual lost, but you continue to shine. Who knows? Maybe someone overheard your words of edification. Shine on, my brother. Shine on.
@@willajackson8170 At least you're talking about the right thing. Complements and compliments, there is a dictionary that can teach people the difference between them. The first refers to something that can complete something else in the sense that it either accentuates it's qualities or adds to them. The second refers to praise and / or admiration.
With that in mind, if you complement your friends, then you complete your friends in a way that is mostly practical I'd say. Maybe they know the first half of a repair manual and you know the second part. So then you complement each other because each of you has incomplete information but together you're stronger.
COMPLIMENTING YOUR FRIENDS INSTEAD, means that you become richer for praising and admiring something in them that, just as Chris say's in the video "The more you use something, the better it gets, at least in nature.", grows bigger in them every time you notice and acknowledge said thing. The reason for the growth is that they feel good right as they display those qualities or right after they did, depending on when you worded your appreciation towards them, and they would want to display more of that so that they feel good again. After a time they won't need you praising them because just the simple association of praising that in them for a while would help them feel good by simply displaying those qualities in their day to day, even when nobody is watching. So as a consequence of that, because you cause something that you value in them to grow inside them, you now have more value around you.
KRS is a man to inspire the world regardless of colour or culture. I listed to KRS one as a young white working class kid and his message took a hold of me. Over 30 years later and here I am still inspired, motivated and resonating with the teacha.
Da truth 💝💯🙏🏽📚
"it'll take 5 more years" he was optimistic... he said it in 2008, wasn't posted on RUclips until SIX years later... 12 years later I'm watching it. Damn
👋🏻 me too! I’ve always admired him, he’s a true one..
Agreed
I thought I saw 2009 somewhere. In 10 years from 1999 'something happened'. 5 years later it was 2014. I returned to school that year after leaving another school in '96, because they wouldn't allow me to cover my dread.
2023 and his entire way of how we should all think, would literally be the antidote we need.
this man's wisdom is beyond comprehension, this is truly a great mind.
Man, I would LOVE to sit down, & have a conversation with KRS-1. Highly intelligent, very well spoken, & most of all Humble.
When you can look past a person's appearance and talk to them, its your greatest asset. Knowledge!!!!
Daniel B thats it bro
@@RioCappuccinoRio right
What you have to look past is your own prejudices. They're appearance has nothing to do with it. All you can comprehend is what you get from your five sences. But before it gets to your conscious mind, it gets filtered through your subconscious and picks up a filter you could say. Of ideas and concepts that your physical mind needs to operate. Some of these concepts hurt others. Some of them limit you. We need to root out the one's that are not of use to us. And that requires constant work and dedication

Hardest bar I’ve heard in a min💯
Upon reading this he spoke it at the same time.
I learn so much from KRS ONE , Genius!
i at first didnt realize how deep he really is. He is a smart man.
This is sad🤣 read some books this nigga is not deep
@@rickmcfly190 huh?
@@rickmcfly190 I disagree, but since you must be deep, what books do you recommend?
Inspire me Krs...INSPIRE me..!
As time passes so do our hip-hop greats. KRS-one is the last of a dying breed, he is hip-hop!!!
He is Hip Hop.
I respect that when he seen the truth about the industry he left and started teaching about it
Preach!
I am hip hop you are hip hop we are hip hop knowledge reign supreme 😎✊✊✊🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Don't forget about Grand Master flash,Meley Mel,Kool G Rap, Doug E FreshSlick Rick, Run Dmc,Dana DaneJust-ice. He's not the last. Just the most out spoken
Happiness is temporary, Joy is everlasting... Thanks for that, Chris.
“The mc tells you what is already on your mind. The rapper tells you what is on his or her mind”
U remind me of my parents
New school is bull
Thass not rap
I haven’t listened to a whole lot of KRS one’s music, but I love listening to him talk.
It should be required for every citizen of the world to watch this once in their lifetime
The authoritarianism implicit in your comment is antithetical to the message you seek to promote. The moral quality of the end can never surpass that of the means employed to achieve it.
Had the pleasure to see him speak at my college and was able to tell him how his retrospective was the first hip hop album I bought and it changed my life.
this man is so articulated with his philosophical verbage he got me trying to write this comment as if i just got done fillin out an application to harvard the day before.
The last 10 minutes of the video were priceless as he delivered a simple way to add value to each other. So glad I came up in the Hip-Hop era
This is powerful.
"If you get caught up in the prejudice, you will lose."
Yes......with narrow view of thinking, you will lose.
We need more KRS-One. If people could just drop the bullshit and LISTEN.....he speaks TRUTH and LOVE. Genius.
Nah he spews demonic rhetoric you don't entertain Madness but this con man knows exactly which one of us and are we to Target and that is the simple naive gullible lost looking for anything sounding deep but moved very easily through the worship in love of hip-hop music putting that above the most high these are the type of black folks this demon targets
Wtf are you on bruh??
Canada here, school is in session... wicked! Big up the teacher! One love
I LOVE this. I've always loved KRS-One's music and his way of spitting knowledge in his lectures. He's the real deal. SO much respect for this man.
Loved this quote: "When you do business with corporate America, you have to use your culture as a condom." KRS-ONE
slipperypete619 He was quoting someone else on that one... can't remember who.
Yes because they will definitely come with their principles which is marketing for money. .......no matter what, it's business.
K.R.S. O.N.E. speaking on the new business model in music.

WOW! What an eye opener. Perception is the key🔑
Wow this was almost 12 years ago Truth needs no Help to stand .One Love A Real MC
Drops mic and floats away! I'm so glad to have found this!
This man has so much talent lyrically and one of the greatest MCs that you can hear because he does this on every one of his albums is Move the Crowd. But if you really understand the messages he delivers will totally understand how he lives up to the KRS in his name. Knowledge Reigns Supreme.
What a marvelous speech, 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾, listen and soak it into your mind .
This dude is freaking smart
Ya think

Speaks as clearly on stage as he does in his music. Smart, smart guy. Never listened to him speak before but i've learned a lot here. 👏
Knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone !
Nearly!
I can’t believe this has so few views. It’s amazing. Inspiring.
KRS came out when I was 6th grade and I was hooked. Normally a rocker. I didn’t get serious about another hip hop group till PE. For me, these guys are timeless
this is hip-hop man. counter-culture. it's supposed to have few views. how is this supposed to have many views? maybe on a different planet
Hip-Hop
Hip hop
Wow, just Like in thé old days;.this brother takes us to SCHOOL!!
Everything you see love it give it value... powerful!!!!
Yep. Corporations do it all the time to make use of it for marketing.
Wow, I have been inspired hearing Chris aka KRS One and it makes my day." Back in the day as kid, He was my teacher :)

Chris Parker is still influencing people through Hip Hop 35 years later. A Champion,
A King, A ruler...but he'll always be the T'cha.
R.I.P Scott La Rock ✝️
Thats right' one of the first albums i bought...
ya kow ive never been a huge hip hop fan by the book, i just love good music. and it comes in many form. but this dude is real, truth flows from his voice. you gotta respect and love folks like that
The Blastmaster, Teacha, Big Joe Krash, The Temple of Hip Hop, KRS-One STILL showing that his Knowledge is FOREVER Reigning Supreme Over Nearly Everyone.
This speech just changed my life. I'm god (with the little g) And God is love.
We’re God. As Love. No separation.
Yes you are
Absolutely fantastic speech and presentation, listened to it from beginning to end. Bravo 👏👏👏👏
This made me cry
Awesome presentation, KRS-One bigging up each other successfully! One Love!
Only one word THE G.O.A.T.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The teacher really fulfilling his destiny ,he was and is the teacher in our community ,he inspired my black power motives ,I had to see what he rap about while going to school ,ducking bullets ,wondering if I survive in the streets ...
It's awesome to see a respectable person keeping their principles especially after being homeless.
You really believe he has principles damn I really wonder what you value and how do you view the world because you don't have good judgment when it comes to people I noticed. Y'all really have to cut this crap out worshiping hip-hop like it's some type of religion because it's a really confusing y'all believing and nothing but madness and I feel sorry for people like y'all especially in my race putting someone like krs-1 on a pedestal worshipping him like he's a god that mindset is Extreme pathetic
Absolutely my son turned me on to KRS,
I try to listen to his videos at least one a week.
I believe giving value is huge, there times I may slip and criticize or judge.
But now I quick to catch myself and I don’t stay in that state for long.
KRS, I’m learning a lot from your videos. Thank you
I'm 6 years late for this... That's cool, at least I caught up! THANK YOU TEACHA!
44:20 I kind of lost myself in emotion almost tears... this is why I love KRS, real really does represent real. Thank you..
how much do you love KRS-One not helping Scott La Rock Jr's life? dude is fony!
@@rahim4411 KRS doesn't owe Rock jr anything, He is not his father. He put nothing into it. KRS, SLR and Ced Gee put work in and wasn't getting much bank., it wasn't like today. And SLR was only on one album before he was killed. As much as that sucked KRS worked to get where he is today and probably had to wait 1 or 2 albums more before he started to see any proper money coming to him.
@@shawnyoung5960 Well l can understand that if you put it that way. But... If something happens to someone who l call my friend lma look out best l can. Not their whole life but something. I guess there's a difference in Harlem cats (me) than a Jamaican cat from the Bronx.
Peace
@@rahim4411 Friends like that are few hard to find. People I took in as family I try my best but friends of family I can't and even friends it's hard to. Mainly cuz I don't have the funds or time and I'm 50 raising a beautiful little lady, now for over 8 years, because her parents didn't care to want her. But she is mine and she will tell you that. I'm hoping he did do something for the grandma or the mom because he did mention his grandma got a few pieces. Be nice To hear another side to the story and one day while browsing RUclips ?I may stumble upon it.
@@shawnyoung5960 truthfully krs dosen't have alot of money and i believe he likes it that way...but he's is more influential to most folks and i think thats the fruits for his labor as he wants it...cause i have followed k since 1986 a d i would run into him everywhere in the Bronx and i would catch alot his show outta town too...and he has never disappointed(always trying to drop knowledge on Cats)i can go on and on with the topic,but i don't wanna write a autobiography on the brotha...but if anyone owes SLR family something is that clown D-Nice...ya dig
If youtube crashed one day and I had the chance to choose ten videos to keep, this would be one of them ... This is how much I respect the God given wisdom of this man ......

Between Da Protests
From his first album to his current album with all those albums in between. This little visual gives me a different perspective. WOW I've heard them all and with the release of his album today it's evident to me KRS.ONE is still #1 BIG ups to his successes in life as his reign in the hip hop culture. You have made a mark in history for hundreds of thousands if not millions of people.
LOVE & RESPECT ✝️
PS: I'm 48yr. I have two sons ages 24 & 20 and not a day goes by that we don't listen to
KRS.ONE.

in this house. Stay up Chris...I'll always be down!
Just saw krs live again recently. The teacher is still at the head of the class. If you have a chance go to a show. You will never see a more live emcee.
"Please take notes, I'm moving very quickly through time."
Love listening to him 🙂🙏🏽👍🏽
Humongous Big Ups to KRS-ONE! This is Classic Lecturing from 'The Teacher' himself, I enjoyed this. KRS ONE keep up the good work and more of your lectures coming from the archives of the Temple of Hip-Hop'. Long life and prosperity and protection to you.
I'm from Toronto and I didn't even know that this platform existed. And I wouldn't have thought that KRS-One would come to Toronto. I wish that I could've been part of the audience to listen to him talk about the origins of hip hop after I discovered it a year before this recording when I was in elementary school.
Greatfull i am; hearing the knowledge and wisdom shared threw your words, spoken with such clarity, an innerstanding delivered ❣ Many thanks for picking up the mic🎤 thank you i do. Keep keeping it real, KRSONE for life, Respect Brother💫 💯
We need a hip hop island
Lets make it Ireland 🇮🇪 ;)
@@prototek128 😄 this made me laugh out loud at 5am cheers
6 years later and this video just came in perfect timing, I’m taking my notes
I have a new level of respect of KRS-1. Great Video. Value the people around you.
*Truly informative. i learn a lot, Thank you KRS-One.*
Nike went on to cut a deal with Kapernick #foresight
The amount of jewels dropped on this stage maaan damn.
Mr. One has thought through his history. Respect.
He's a legend. I have that much more respect for KRS One and Hip Hop...I been had respect for Hip Hop and Tupac Shakur...but now this takes it to a whole new level because KRS One is giving us the knowledge.
One of the most real people ever. Dont always agree with everything he says but i always enjoy listening to him. He provides a positive narrative for rhe young generation. True to real hip hop principals. Respect.
Nah morally the man is demonic and he is so true to hip hop to the point he worships it causing him to go down a dark path. He speaks nonsense amongst our community because he's aware enough to understand they also worship hip hop. It never made sense to me worshipping a genre of music but you're still broke can't pay your bills or living with someone else taking care of you but that doesn't mean anything because they're waiting on that deal to come thru. Just a bunch of confused lost simple-minded people in our race without ambition. They have no guidance no good judgment and giving a con artist Baphomet worshipping black man the title of being their leader. We are so beyond lost that a lot of our people have no clue what normal is anymore. Plus people have to wake up out of the spell, KRS-1 is not deep. He never was deep, he just says a lot of nonsense that people never heard before because it's Jibber Jabber and you really can't understand it so to the simple-minded it sounds deep. That is the gift of a con artist with the Gift of Gab, they can talk real fast say a lot of words but have no substance to those words.
Hadn’t viewed in many years… thought then it was brilliantly presented. Remarkable orator.
The more we use something the better it gets
BLAST MASTER KRS ONE
I remember how he was back in the 80s..... It's so Good to see how he EVOLVED
Love Each other...
needed this today !!!
How can someone dislike this?
Only those with a nonfunctional brain, that's the person who dislikes profound information like what he gives the WORLD.....Racism= ignorance and fear to it's highest level. Hatred, anger and jealousy only keeps YOU in a toxic condition, never able to HEAL your TRINITY= MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT.
@@rachaelmatias1933 But while it is profound. It is not anything new. Anyone with great intelligence and curiosity can find that out by themselves with observation and reflection.
because its not long enough ... keep a positive look on negatives
Oh because he lies don't have knowledge making shit up and protect pedophiles that's why y'all bunch of Clueless freaks. And if y'all can't tell he sold his soul and compromised himself a long time ago then y'all crazy as hell too or that stuff doesn't matter to y'all because he KRS 1 so y'all worship Him thinking he's some type of God. And y'all wonder why the world laughs at our race cuz of MADNESS like this demon which y'all chose as our leader give me a break
@@TYREEKPOOLE-ju5mx Could you elaborate on why he's such a sell out and a puppet?
He's a great speaker and communicator.
Salute the TEACHA.
He is very intelligent i liked him and use to bump him back in the day
Are you going to check out his new album BETWEEN THE PROTESTS that he just released four or five hours ago? I've only listened to three or four songs of it
we fought against the system and then became it!!! WOW!!!
Relevant Now 2021 ❤️🤎🖤👈🏾 this inspiration is critical for me everyday I quit my farm aspirations!!! Still pushing though it’s hard I’m learning as one of very few in my state I’m blessed, dispirited, but I gotta keep moving❤️🤎🖤 thank you KRS-ONE always feel your essence U are a “Real Nigga” 💋💋💋
I love this entire message it's not at all what I expected
I've been listening bra... your speaking very clearly. Keep it up my brother !
He’s still freaking amazing in 2023
This man is flowing conciousness,I'm a young being and the only filter i want it my mind if I have identify with my expierence is to the discrmintation of value and potential value, I equally value all perspectives that my self holds not as right or wrong or any morality pressed up on me but through conscious or unconscious forms espression, I replenishment my self in the inexhaustible creative source and know all things are possible
Powerful. Thank you
Wow! KRS-One said this back in 2008, he predicted the future, look around today in 2020, it's happened.
Ikr
The Teacher!
Incredible! Thank you for the valuable upload!!!
This is one smart, decisive man. Much respect for this man right here. I don’t care what illusion you vote for.
So many geniuses here in France stucked because of corporate art...thanks KRS, will share, hope they listen!
It's crazy how this was 15 years ago he was so right
I luv that hes using varois platforms to teach about culture & hip hop. He has the knowledge & tools to excel here.
Amazing Orator. I am speechLess.
Legend
I was saying the same thing when I started seeing more hip hop influence in car commercials on non BET channels. I remember thinking " now its ok, now its ok to have black influence in commercial america? " when it hit it was like a ton of bricks. Now the culture is excepted .......because it makes money. Lesson here is stay true to yourself, whatever that is.
I watch this every year
im watching this in july 2020 and this is so relevent now.......
Dude is so educated. Knowledge Reigns Supreme
