I’m from the south, & KRS One gets all the props! Being the teacher, consistently .. makes him 2 of my top 5 favorite artist, #1 and wherever else you wanna put em.
As a white female who grew up in a predominantly white atmosphere until I was in junior high... KRS and other artists like Public Enemy & Bran Nubian taught me a lot more than school ever did about black culture. I used to steal my older brother's cassettes. He introduced me to rap music, but it was just a phase for him... i hung on... probably one of few 49 year old white women you'll ever meet who youll see blasting old school rap while driving, who knows every lyric. 😄
KRS, taught me about our culture more than I learned in school. I became a teen counselor and let my students listen to him. They also were enlightened.
Seen KRS once i still feel enlightened by his words after many years. Some artists give you fun for a night, but some nights change you for a lifetime. 50 should know there's a need for both types of artists.
Obviously my opinion but we need more KRS types of artists in the game. My filter for my favorite artists are those with a message: Gil Scott Heron, Eyedea, Brother Ali, Rakim, Immortal Technique etc.
I'm happy KRS has continued to stay in his lane and even have it for others. Everyone plays their role, it's called balance, the culture needs balance just like all of life needs it!
He has been hot, repeatedly heated and will still blow the roof off your top. So many rappers don't like going out to perform after him cuz he will move the crowd. Mad love to krs
FACT bro. Never forgot seeing Kris in Baltimore for Morgan State Homecoming back in the 90's. He had everyone in the crowd hyped and singing all his lyrics. Amazing stage presence
He didn’t get too deep and he definitely did not get lost…he understood the assignment from day one and NEVER lost sight of it! He stayed true to truth!
Exactly, I was like wtf is 50 talking abt ... getting lost .. and TOO deep. I mean his stage name is KRS One which stands for knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone
@@arnolddayday4565fif expected him to water down the lesson to make it more palletable to the masses. The thing is not everybody evolves at the time. Those who were meant to get it got it.
@a What he says isn't wrong. Rap is also a business. If you are not catering to your audience, you WILL fail. There are many conscious, deep artists out there that have their own niche and doing well enough. However, if you want to be on top you can't get too deep with the messages. They can still be there but it can't be too political, too "woke" so to speak. What you'll end up with is a divide with people who do not agree and those who agree. Then on top of that some won't listen often anymore. Contrary to what you think, people do not want to be constantly depressed or talked at. Sometimes we just want to have fun

With the obsession of his early work and the get rich or die trying project 50 cent's music career hasn't been all of what it's cracked up to be. Most of his projects were tethered off of group's like the lox's and dip set so that's why it wasn't really clicking in with most east coast listener's. He even admitted to spending alot on promoting certain projects that went to mainstream station's because of a song that was a hit but the rest of the album was trash so it didn't sale the way he wanted to sale and it started looking like he wasn't putting effort into his music. 50 is great promoting his projects as far as his business aspects but his music career is over and really has been over since the massacre album.
@Stone Loc have you been living under a rock,50 been in business for years and not music,even he said,that end line on your comment ,your talking like 50s poppin in the charts to this day,and before you say it,we know 50 and game had issues.
@@lengwei4864 50 cent's career really didn't start flourishing until after the movie. Around that time he did the vitamin water and sneaker deal and his music was trash other than some singles that were considered hits the rest of the album was garbage so he wasn't selling like you want to believe he even admitted to that in previous interview's

This is NOT the NY history I observed growing up in the 80s /early 90s. In the 80s , NY cats were KNOWN for dancing. When NY cats came down here to Ga. to visit family or for school, they used to rock the house at the house jams. The gangster s*"* from 96 til now halted all fun from alot of the Millennials. Hell, the first group I saw who had dancers was Whodini at Freshfest! Aren't they from NY? What about saltnpepa who had KidnPlay as dancers? Aren't they from NY? Wasn't Defjam comedy filmed in NY? Didn't they have dancers at the end of each episode? Lol. It's ok to dance NY
@@vincehowell8695yep I remember when it changed because I was born in( Jan 1986) and loved old school hip hop but it changed quick I was 11 when pac was jamming etc....but they still radio played old ishhh growing up I loved it , it wasn't always about drill or bang bang!! I barely listen to rap or hip hop anymore just soul, r&b, jazz, Motown, Mike Jackson , prince , James brown, etc... old rock/ Pop, country,, alot of music
He low key described the difference between hip hop and rap music. That said…a lot of 90s hip hop from the south had bounce wit knowledge…and that’s literally why everybody down here considers Dungeon Family the goats as a collective. From OutKast to Goodie Mobb to Killer Mike to Big Rube (poet on the early OutKast joints)…even on the solo tip…3stacks, Big Boi, Ceelo…all have legendary pens but they also can easily make music that gets played in Magic City. That range as an artist is unreal
Which is why he was able to succeed because instead of being stubborn like most from the east he catered to the whole country and the 🌎 took notice end result his 1st 2 albums sell 20mil
@@DizoDixon Indeed. I’m from Cali, but live in Brooklyn when I was young, that’s where my love of hip hop was cultivated back in the early 80s. I’ve been living in the south for 25 years so my ear and love of hip hop is tri-coastal. Some artists only give me what I need regionally, but there are some that can do it all. I appreciate both the diversity and those that stay rooted.
@@I_Shit_on_your_shit_pointbingo! And that's what gets the whole world. They don't think! They just reach and get caught by the hook... and there's a reason it's literally called a "hook." It's all brainwashing. Most people listening to music don't even understand the true power or nature of music, or that it's used to cast spells over their minds. Fifty understands this, any good artist understands it's a spell they're crafting, and it's then cast over the minds of people in order to seduce them. Now, that will get lost on many.
Didn't hear a damn thing from the OG's when kids were turning into smackheads and mumbling into the microphone. Not a fkn peep. Too scared to fk up the bag for the people cashing in from the dope fiends. Stands to reason I guess when grown-ass men are rapping about selling crack like being a sociopath/narcissist is the coolest shit ever. I swear to gawd, the levels of sycophancy in hip hop CULTure...
KRS is an educator he has never sold out to conform to the new norms ,the message will get lost if he changes up his style and music because no one’s going to pay attention to the lyrics now a days if you have a hot beat even though the lyrics are shitty the people will dance to it
You cant perform on a white man stage in front of cameras to be known to the world unless you sell out champ so yes he sold out just not again again like others
It’s a time for teaching and it’s a time for war 💪🏽 The South came with action not just teaching we executed it and took hiphop to the next level! Who you think started range independent label trend? New Yorkers talked good but then went and signed to a corporate label with no freedom. KRS ONE was good but that’s what really took him out the limelight.
@@Royalt1981 man stop it Too Short and them bay niggas been doing independent shit . Tech 9 mid west independent .

@@wills242 assume I live in south Florida..assume I been down here my whole life..assume I know what I'm talking about..assume that the people I'm talking about is my people. My culture
Return of the Boom Bap and albums from that era raised my consciousness. I watched some more recent stuff from KRS and it felt like a sermon. I couldn’t get into it.
Let's get real, Krs did not get lost in teaching. That's what he was called to do, and he's the best at it. That's the problem with hip hop today. No one is teaching anybody anything, except how to be gangster and pop pills. Krs didn't get lost, the culture did. He didn't sell out and conform
He didn’t get lost. That’s was his goal, to teach and entertain. Then we got lost listening to low vibe music. Since “they” weren’t playing his music on stations, you had to actively seek or look for his stuff and people are lazy.
I’m my opinion this is why I rank Pac the most versatile rapper. Because he had a way of getting messages across that you feel, without necessarily coming across like he was teaching.
I think it was Shock G that broke down how Pacs style was remnant of MLK Jr's approach to speeches. That in mind, it makes perfect sense why his lyrics were felt by so many. Listen to MLK and then go listen to Pac, you'll hear it
"Because a nigga wear kufi, it don't mean that he nice/ because you dont understand him, it dont mean that he's bright/ it just means that you don't understand all the bullshit that he writes" - Jay z
The low-key difference between mere surface lvl entertainment & non mere surface lvl entertainment. The problem the masses dumbed The F down & sadly only want to shake their ass on average
It took KRS-One losing a friend to understand that violence is not the way and to change his messsage. 50 Cent took at least 9 shots in his life and still wrote Heat...
I love both 50 and KRS. There's room for both styles in the culture, but there has to be a balance. It can't just be all hype turn up music or all lyrical conscious music.
when I was a little kid, there was a poster of KRS One in our library. I used to listen to the older teenagers speak of him in reverence. He came across as someone who everyone respected, he wasn't a gangsta rapper but he was GANGSTA
He’s right on most of his assessment. But niggas are the same everywhere. Scarface UGK and boocoo southern artists wasn’t/aren’t into dance and definitely had messages. The radio likes our bounce:/dance songs. But we on that same head nod he talking about. We always thought cats who danced was lame for the most part. And I’m from New Orleans area where bounce was invented
KRS was my boy!!! Saw him twice in concert and then saw him in person when he spoke at my University. No one dared challenge him to a battle rap in person! Fire!
I've always liked 50 as a person I think he is very smart.. his music was very good for what it was also ..his explanation between the regional differences not just krs but east cost to southern was spot on
I had a whole a whole argument about KRS 1. Them fools tried to ask me what rapper is better than Eminem? I said KRS One. They asked who is that and I just walked off on them. People out here are lost.
Exactly 💯 You can't be a hip hop fan WITHOUT KNOWING HIM. It's like an AMERICAN not knowing or heard of George Washington 🤔 ---- Eminem is nowhere NEAR KRS1. It's kiddie rap to grown man rap 🤭

I back 50s statement on how new Yorkers react to music ots how I do. People think I don't like their music kuz I say it's iight but in reality I love the shit and it's fire. Lmao it's just how it goes.
Being from Boston....and living in Houston now....50 is right. On the East Coast cats will nod their head more. Its a Grimey Wu Tang Clan type flow. In High School Wu was ALL I had in my Walkman. I moved down south and the 95 South or Two Live Crew was 🔥 Being in my 40's now...at least back in the 90's that was the case.
I went to the Loft in the early days (when Knuckles snuck in cause he wasn't old enough, up to when he took our thing to Chi and birthed house/JBs mention later), Nicky and other DJs went to England, Japan and birthed other genres. While also going to CBGBs cause punk was doing it's thing then up to the fever in the BX. Later, as you know, clubs all over had all types of dance from Rand B, disco, house, trance, punk/ metal/moshing, rap, you name it. A great place to be in those years, the 70s through to the 90s when the city was broke and grimy as hell. Started it all.
It's called not selling out, not selling ur soul, staying true to The Essence.

Hell, the first group I saw who had dancers was Whodini at Freshfest! Aren't they from NY? What about saltnpepa who had KidnPlay as dancers? Aren't they from NY? Wasn't Defjam comedy filmed in NY? Didn't they have dancers at the end of each episode? Lol. It's ok to dance NY
@@vincehowell8695yep I remember when it changed because I was born in( Jan 1986) and loved old school hip hop but it changed quick I was 11 when pac was jamming etc....but they still radio played old ishhh growing up I loved it , it wasn't always about drill or bang bang!! I barely listen to rap or hip hop anymore just soul, r&b, jazz,
Motown,
Mike Jackson , prince ,
James brown, etc... old rock/
Pop, country,, alot of music
He low key described the difference between hip hop and rap music. That said…a lot of 90s hip hop from the south had bounce wit knowledge…and that’s literally why everybody down here considers Dungeon Family the goats as a collective. From OutKast to Goodie Mobb to Killer Mike to Big Rube (poet on the early OutKast joints)…even on the solo tip…3stacks, Big Boi, Ceelo…all have legendary pens but they also can easily make music that gets played in Magic City. That range as an artist is unreal
It’s interesting how Fifty explains the regional nuances of hip hop fans… very observant about the different audiences
Which is why he was able to succeed because instead of being stubborn like most from the east he catered to the whole country and the 🌎 took notice end result his 1st 2 albums sell 20mil
@@DizoDixon Indeed. I’m from Cali, but live in Brooklyn when I was young, that’s where my love of hip hop was cultivated back in the early 80s. I’ve been living in the south for 25 years so my ear and love of hip hop is tri-coastal.
Some artists only give me what I need regionally, but there are some that can do it all. I appreciate both the diversity and those that stay rooted.

@@I_Shit_on_your_shit_pointbingo! And that's what gets the whole world. They don't think! They just reach and get caught by the hook... and there's a reason it's literally called a "hook." It's all brainwashing. Most people listening to music don't even understand the true power or nature of music, or that it's used to cast spells over their minds. Fifty understands this, any good artist understands it's a spell they're crafting, and it's then cast over the minds of people in order to seduce them. Now, that will get lost on many.

Nah deadass New Yorker frfr we don’t even bump right away it’s the head knod first but Krs one shout out to the legend
It’s crazy bc the new generation the ny drill kids are the wildest rappers out
You ever saw a NY drill video. They dance like they are at a drag show
@@BLOCKBOI3RD ong lol😂😂
We need more teachers in hiphop! We're partying ourselves to an early grave yo!!!
Didn't hear a damn thing from the OG's when kids were turning into smackheads and mumbling into the microphone. Not a fkn peep. Too scared to fk up the bag for the people cashing in from the dope fiends. Stands to reason I guess when grown-ass men are rapping about selling crack like being a sociopath/narcissist is the coolest shit ever.
I swear to gawd, the levels of sycophancy in hip hop CULTure...
KRS is an educator he has never sold out to conform to the new norms ,the message will get lost if he changes up his style and music because no one’s going to pay attention to the lyrics now a days if you have a hot beat even though the lyrics are shitty the people will dance to it
You cant perform on a white man stage in front of cameras to be known to the world unless you sell out champ so yes he sold out just not again again like others
And educator? Have you heard the nonsense he teaches? He spreads lies and rumors as if they facts even after he's been told the truth
What do you can rambling to rich white people for a living? 😅😅
Now a days? Rap has always been structured around hot & danceable beats. And the lyrics were rarely that deep….
Knowledge reigns supreme over the "Power of a Dollar".
Them Southern U.S.
African Roots Gon make you wanna bounce like you getting ready for battle
True
It’s a time for teaching and it’s a time for war 💪🏽 The South came with action not just teaching we executed it and took hiphop to the next level! Who you think started range independent label trend? New Yorkers talked good but then went and signed to a corporate label with no freedom. KRS ONE was good but that’s what really took him out the limelight.
@@Royalt1981 man stop it Too Short and them bay niggas been doing independent shit . Tech 9 mid west independent . Black moon duck down entertainment was independent. .what action you talking bout man cut it out I ain't heard of no south hip hop beef where nothing got dropped .if NY didn't pioneer the shit you wouldn't have no hip hop foh

50 Cent evaluating KRS-One on rapping is like Kamala Harris evaluating Mike Tyson on boxing.

Return of the Boom Bap and albums from that era raised my consciousness. I watched some more recent stuff from KRS and it felt like a sermon. I couldn’t get into it.
For those that didn't know, he had to remind you during that versus.
Facts. I've been watching him recently on RUclips as well and he still has the best aim ever.
Let's get real, Krs did not get lost in teaching. That's what he was called to do, and he's the best at it. That's the problem with hip hop today. No one is teaching anybody anything, except how to be gangster and pop pills. Krs didn't get lost, the culture did. He didn't sell out and conform
Not Nas and other mcs
Shouldn't be looking to get taught from hip hop
@@thakiid8568 I'm not, but it's a good vehicle to use for educating youth. Their not getting educated in school
He didn’t get lost. That’s was his goal, to teach and entertain. Then we got lost listening to low vibe music. Since “they” weren’t playing his music on stations, you had to actively seek or look for his stuff and people are lazy.
I’m my opinion this is why I rank Pac the most versatile rapper. Because he had a way of getting messages across that you feel, without necessarily coming across like he was teaching.
I agree , with that said he learned from KRS & cube.....
Krs gets me through the night
True that
I think it was Shock G that broke down how Pacs style was remnant of MLK Jr's approach to speeches. That in mind, it makes perfect sense why his lyrics were felt by so many. Listen to MLK and then go listen to Pac, you'll hear it
Neat. But f you and your rankings. You dont matter.
Facts
KRS did not get lost! He is EXACTLY who he is supposed to be and did and is doing EXACTLY what he is supposed to do!!!
Right!
a wiseman admires simplicity. a simple man sees something so complex that he cant understand it and says "this is genius". -terry davis

Youre lame- me
That doesn’t apply here
A wise man sees failure as progress a fool loses his soul in the process and misses the logic.
Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal,
MC's spit rhymes to uplift their people.

Bars !!!!
The low-key difference between mere surface lvl entertainment & non mere surface lvl entertainment. The problem the masses dumbed The F down & sadly only want to shake their ass on average
💯🎯facts‼️
Best cimment thus far
THE GOAT 💯 nuff said......
Yo KRS-1 and Scott-La-Roc. Yunguns need to go to the crates and listen. Those two were two of the underrated greatest
We need more men like him…Krs-1 can put all what he say to music and Empower our nation.
But he didn't get lost teaching. Maybe his music was always about teaching. Music was his Ave to teach❤
It took KRS-One losing a friend to understand that violence is not the way and to change his messsage. 50 Cent took at least 9 shots in his life and still wrote Heat...
I love both 50 and KRS. There's room for both styles in the culture, but there has to be a balance. It can't just be all hype turn up music or all lyrical conscious music.
Yeah
when I was a little kid, there was a poster of KRS One in our library. I used to listen to the older teenagers speak of him in reverence. He came across as someone who everyone respected, he wasn't a gangsta rapper but he was GANGSTA
Scott La Rock was the business mind...he tried to teach his crew.
Chris grew spiritually and that growth manifested into his music.
Bro… you think KRS the one got lost?
Fam…. You need to go back and do the knowledge.
I think he means lost him.
@@darkskinwhite must be that. 🤔
KRS one 50 more years of hip-hop recent song gives you that energy 💯
As the older teacher now
He’s right on most of his assessment. But niggas are the same everywhere. Scarface UGK and boocoo southern artists wasn’t/aren’t into dance and definitely had messages. The radio likes our bounce:/dance songs. But we on that same head nod he talking about. We always thought cats who danced was lame for the most part. And I’m from New Orleans area where bounce was invented
KRS was my boy!!! Saw him twice in concert and then saw him in person when he spoke at my University. No one dared challenge him to a battle rap in person! Fire!
KRS-ONE the GOAT
EXACTLY

I've always liked 50 as a person I think he is very smart.. his music was very good for what it was also ..his explanation between the regional differences not just krs but east cost to southern was spot on
KRS ONE has no equals.
Krs-one is the realist! He didn't get lost, the people did! People forgot the essence of Real HIP-HOP!!!
Most accurate answer to a real topic
That nod is so true it resonates thurout Ny up to Rochester, Buffalo etc...!💯😂😂😂
I had a whole a whole argument about KRS 1. Them fools tried to ask me what rapper is better than Eminem? I said KRS One. They asked who is that and I just walked off on them. People out here are lost.
Wow people are lost because they dont know krs one lol ok
Exactly 💯
You can't be a hip hop fan WITHOUT KNOWING HIM. It's like an AMERICAN not knowing or heard of George Washington 🤔

Eminem is nowhere NEAR KRS1. It's kiddie rap to grown man rap 🤭
It's interesting how we always seem to disrespect our ancestors
This why I love being from the south.
I love being from the South.. 👍🏿❤️

BDP was my favorite it was fire.
KRS 1 is so instrumental in hip hop. His music was the soundtrack to my childhood
I back 50s statement on how new Yorkers react to music ots how I do. People think I don't like their music kuz I say it's iight but in reality I love the shit and it's fire. Lmao it's just how it goes.
Yeah nah this ain't it
KRS didn't get lost with the teaching, the lesson was lost on the student
Being from Boston....and living in Houston now....50 is right.
On the East Coast cats will nod their head more. Its a Grimey Wu Tang Clan type flow. In High School Wu was ALL I had in my Walkman.
I moved down south and the 95 South or Two Live Crew was 🔥
Being in my 40's now...at least back in the 90's that was the case.
NY dance scene is heavy though
Yes but this was before the drill scene
He not talking bout getting sturdy,harlem shakin he talking about that boom bap head nod.looks like we aint fucking wit it but we are.old head energy
@@TheBrob1983 He’s more so speaking to what resonated in the streets cause there was always party/dance rap coming out of NY
@@hefra345 i know what came from my city been here since 83
I went to the Loft in the early days (when Knuckles snuck in cause he wasn't old enough, up to when he took our thing to Chi and birthed house/JBs mention later), Nicky and other DJs went to England, Japan and birthed other genres. While also going to CBGBs cause punk was doing it's thing then up to the fever in the BX. Later, as you know, clubs all over had all types of dance from Rand B, disco, house, trance, punk/ metal/moshing, rap, you name it. A great place to be in those years, the 70s through to the 90s when the city was broke and grimy as hell. Started it all.
