let's vote for KRS ONE to be in next year's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame he really deserves to be in it he doesn't get enough credit for hip hop as is let's honor him for hip hop for the next 50 years.....STAND UP FOR HIP HOP!
I actually thought he was a better rapper than 2pac tbf he really was a rare talent and so glad I’m finally getting the chance to see him perform live in the UK
"I send this record to the well respected, friends that I've collected. I hope I am what you expected". That right there sums up this song, mutual friendship! Knowledge Reign Supreme Over Nearly Everyone!
I remember back in like 96 or 97 (I can't remember) when this song came on on the radio one Friday night. I was like 😳😳🥹🥹🥹🥲🥲🥲🥲. I cried a few tears cos I was a nerd and really had no friends. This song spoke volumes to me. I miss those years when music could speak to us.
Man, one of my best friends moved away really far and I only see him every few years now. When we meet it's like we never parted ways, shit's beautiful. Keep positivity in your heart!
StanginNbangin RUclips Account I know. Get the address bl of the Hip Hop organization he runs and send him a letter. He will read it. KRS is that kind of fellow. Sincere and genuine.
I grew up listening to KRS-ONE and BDP on my journey as Graf artist, his style and message, as always, relevant and on point. Listening to him is like revisiting my roots. coming home.
Such an underestimated KRS track. One of the stand-out hits for me and I think one of the best tracks to symobolise hip-hop, the history the mentality and the shared desires/goals of those oppressed in that environment, whether a little or a lot this reflects most peoples environments.
This record gives me such a positive feeling within and makes me smile. I love the purity, simplicity and low key lessons taught. Shout out to all the real friends out there. Keep it real.
Krs-one the best Emcee i am 15 years old and he is my fev Emcee the art of keeping it real i am from afghanistan but i will do anything to meet this Emcee and thanks Krs-one for keeping Hip hop alive
+Afghan ultimate challengers 73. Plus he's the realest mc of all time in my eyes plus his self titled album is one of the best rap albums in the 90s imo
Hip hop just gives me sich an energy, when peolpe tell me on partys , turn that slow "shit off" , i cannot understand them. I feel everything from this and it keeps me up everyday. Sry bad english

StanginNbangin RUclips Account I know. Get the address bl of the Hip Hop organization he runs and send him a letter. He will read it. KRS is that kind of fellow. Sincere and genuine.
KRS one is definitely the teacher of Hip Hop
I saw him last year in Dallas (:
Brad Nowell of Sublime felt the same way and made a song for him.
Me too
KRS is one of the OGs who inspired me to get into making music. Always a friend.
I grew up listening to KRS-ONE and BDP on my journey as Graf artist, his style and message, as always, relevant and on point. Listening to him is like revisiting my roots. coming home.
The sounds he brings and lyrics are classics. Love his vibe. I feel this type of music is on its way back.

This Song Wuz Made In 1996 26 Yearz Ago
I’ve been down with KRS-One since his Boogie Down Productions prowessed experience. Our Hip Hop Bob Dylan and Marley. 👏🏾👍🏾
Such an underestimated KRS track. One of the stand-out hits for me and I think one of the best tracks to symobolise hip-hop, the history the mentality and the shared desires/goals of those oppressed in that environment, whether a little or a lot this reflects most peoples environments.
Nice name ChillaBee!
@@NIMMHATVRapBeats Agreed! Also, fantastic instrumental.
I cant believe I never fucking heard this. Its one of my favorite tracks ever now.

lyrics
The beat was sposed to drop right there
The beat was sposed to drop right there
The beat was sposed to drop right there
Yeah yeah yeah, uhh
I send this one out, to my right hand man
Or mens, or women's, the whole crew
The real fam
We can count the dough or kick a flow
Or chill out watchin videos
Or actin really silly yo but really doe
All that can end
Whether at the bar with superstars
Or cruisin in the trooper car
I really don't care who you are
All I really need is a friend
If we can't have trust then you can't hang with us
We respond to those who show respect with respect
We respond we connect on the same deck
Same intellect, my man, never shifty, thinks quickly
If you can't understand, we boys we boys
We could stand on the corner with a hat sellin toys
It ain't about your Benz I hope it ain't about mine
My man, I be dissin in my freestyle rhyme
Gettin G's around the world, I can trust you with my girl
My man, we chillin at the jam, what's the plan?
I'm not a yes man and none of my friends are yes men
Or women, I'm drivin, I see my peeps yo get in
Where you fit in? True friends are quick to sit
In the beginning of all trouble, and when your bankroll doubles
Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble
Still I got my own space like Hubble
We can count the dough or kick a flow
Or chill out watchin videos
Or actin really silly yo but really doe
All that can end
Whether at the bar with superstars
Or cruisin in the trooper car
I really don't care who you are
All I really need is a friend
Cause don't nobody care about us, all they do is doubt us
Until we blow the spot then they all want to crowd us
And want to shout us, but you my man from way back
I just gots to say that, actin large I don't play that
But I can't say that, where I play at isn't fast-paced
A friend can acquire the taste to become two-faced
And that's a disgrace there ain't nothing you can say to us
When the kid you grew up with betrays your trust
When we used to ride the bus we had trust
Now we cash checks and drive Lex, and can't show respect to one of us
Yo the heads I hang with ain't tryin to just get
What they can get, sit quickly backstabbin the click
I roll thick, but only some are friends really
Down to the end, my right hand men and women
Mutual support, from the beginning
Been in, exactly what I've been in
We can count the dough or kick a flow
Or chill out watchin videos
Or actin really silly yo but really doe
All that can end
Whether at the bar with superstars
Or cruisin in the trooper car
I really don't care who you are
All I really need is a friend
Back to back we attack corporate America
Gettin fees that amount to G's in every area
You my man I ain't gotta drag you along
You pull your own weight, yeah you definitely got it goin on
I don't see nothin wrong wit a little bumpin car system
Thumpin, between the crew we always got sump'un
But if we had nuttin no frontin whatever
We'd still be crew you and me, me for you together
Word, fake people ain't worth a turd
They only want to be your friend because of what they overheard
I send this record to the well respected
Friends that I've collected, I hope I am what you expected
Yeah, so check it, so check it
We can count the dough or kick a flow
Or chill out watchin videos
Or actin really silly yo but really doe
All that can end
Whether at the bar with superstars
Or cruisin in the trooper car
I really don't care who you are
All I really need is a friend
Damn son
Jeez
Word, peace to all real hiphop heads out there in cyberspace 👽
What a timeless joint. This song even has more meaning in 2019.

From 1973 to now 50 years old hip-hop has evolved into something beautiful for the black community .
The realist emcee of all time and the definition of hip hop. End of.
KRS One is the only rapper I can understand in every song. Love his easy-to-understand style to pronounce.
