Hotep... Good looking on this post. Bro Saabir doin his thing with the Great Teacher Krs 1. I kno Saabir did supm the other night with Krs, Mos Def, Buckshot and a few others. Hope he uploads that soon also.. Peace Fam.
simple you see it, he preaches peace and uses music to try to uplift and teach people. knowledge is "the" greatest thing to posses in this world and he does his all to give it to people opinions or facts. KRS-ONE is one of significant influence by the ability to speak the truth and do it in a negative music genre i.e. "bitches and hoes" people asked the same thing about homer socrates and plato but there just highly respected philosophers.
To the folks talking about Chris Parker about being full of himself, first off everyone has their own individual journey to embark on. This man was homeless for a very long time in and out of group homes and practically lived in the library you could say he pretty much read half the library, we come from the same neighborhood in The Bronx and my older cousins knew him and hung with him. He was like this back then when he was homeless he has always been the same person that you see here in this video.... if he never became an Mcee and if he was on the street preaching what he says on these Videos they call him crazy now that he's on Videos speaking his mind his own truth and knowledge... Study and find your own truth knowledge and wisdom and you'll see that you guys may not be on the same boat but definitely in the same ocean because not for nothing all of us want to reach the light which is where we come from and we will return. 🙏🏽☯️🙏🏽
KRS1 has been doing this for friggin YEARS!!! Down by law was a term we heard back in the days of SLICK RICK and folks of that era. You either had the respect or you did not ... Some things I need to know why he thinks that way but the man is articulate enough even with the urban vinacular, to elaborate his point. KRS1 has always been this .... some dont like it, some dont understand it... but introspection will be the worlds greatest teacher .... more :\"rappers" need to listen to him..
In hip hop no one can speak more sense and positivity now than KRS 1, every leader may have said certain things out of context and passion. EVEN MALCOLM X so you should respect KRS cos right now there are not many good lecturers in Hip Hop that actually speak sense.
"it's just a beat and a bassline with someone rhyming over the top of a loop" you described rap music, not hip hop! and that IS music -.- just because you dont like it doesnt mean its not music
these comments are funny! KRS 1 is the father of all this "hip-hop"/ "rap"/"whatever" and most likely sees these people(other "rappers" as his children. What does a father do when his child is "outta line"? He tries to explain the behavior to shed light on the child that he/she is wrong. KRS 1 is undoubtedly the Father of HIP HOP and has any and every right to say what he wants, when he wants. I Stand behind truth and the importance of educating today's youth.
krs1 is top man no question ,but serena blatantly admitted to line judge"Are u scared coz i said i would hit u?" so sabir u were wrong to defend serena this time. always defend the truth . ps-obama delusory just signs "the fed reserve" is all ok blah when they are BIGGEST PROBLEM.
@TheIllniqqa Is this about the T.Swift thing? You think KRS should have defended him for that ignorant sht? And Obama was just having a conversation with someone (cameras just happened to be on) - It's not like he held a press conference and said that sht.
@TheMightyGuri I grew up with rap before Rakim christened it Hip-Hop. I enjoyed it as a youth, and have watched it become warped, perverted and twisted almost beyond recognition by the warped minds in "the industry". But even when it was strong and progessive back in the early 90s, it was only a part of, an expression of American culture. Opera is only a PART of Italian culture. The reason you've never thought like this is because you probably don't think you're American, as an identity.
no he claims the educations teaches irrelevant things and look up the definition of philosopher, if one does make valid points and one actually goes to seminars to teach the philosophy of hiphop and one is recognized by pople everywhere then apparently one is a philosophical person.he is highly respected through many walks of life and understands what thousand do not.our education system actually is a joke math reading are the only things we need. the rest just make us understand the inevitable
I had to check out KRS one's opinion. I just watchet the documentary film about Kanye. I'm the last person to comment on Kanye but this interview being 14 years old.. All I can say that I remember when Kanye first came into the scene I knew he was trouble. No offense. no disrispect. That's just how I felt. Ok? And now.. the chickens have come home to roost. And what KRS is saying in this interview I cannot condole or cheer but I don't think his opinion is far from truth and I think he chose his words wisely
nah rg ..he wasnt a child at the time ..now perhaps in spirit it was as such but again it happened.. and heres the thing my man."keep it real"/the realness etc has been the rallying clarion call in HipHop for as long as i remember.and when its own does this {albeit in an unfashionable way} cats like kris throw him under the bus.no one came to his defense outised of mos def.its hypocritical no matter how you slice it brother. ~respect~
@TheMightyGuri Hip-hop is a part of our American culture, one of America's many unique cultural expressions but people have a very shallow understanding of what the word Culture really means. People like to talk about hip-hop being a culture or a movement or whatever else when in fact it's just a beat and a bassline with someone rhyming over the top of a loop. In real talk, it's not even real music. Bottom line, a Culture does not change with Trends.
It's like the opinions vanish once the man him self speaks. I mean now it's official. Kanye isn't hip hop, Kanye is teen music, like nsync. Or Taylor Swift. No wonder he got all mad with her and Beck! Because they are his direct competition. Them and Clay Aiken.
True. And MBDTF is his best album and it's like 40% hip-hop. Sometimes staying true to a genre doesn't automatically equal good. Hip-hop needs to establish subgenres like rock did, that way nobody would get mad when somebody isn't 100% boom bap hip-hop anymore.
Kanye embodied 100% of hip hop up in his prime. Go back to the 70s and everyone rapping exactly like Kanye. Rapping with confidence, arrogance, etc. I guarantee all your favorite rappers all call themselves the best to ever do it. Also he was standing up for Beyoncé when he interrupted TSwift. That’s real hip hop standing up for what you believe in.
Of course he takes hip hop serious he helped pioneer it...now say u started a company not necessarily to make money but bc it was your passion then 20 years later or the next generation comes along and gives it a 180 which caused controversy bc it lost its meaning everybody lost sight of why u started that company they just turned your neighborhood tavern into a strip club..u would be upset too
KRS One is spitting knowledge, str8 up.

kanye speaks the truth. period. no comment will be read.
simple you see it, he preaches peace and uses music to try to uplift and teach people. knowledge is "the" greatest thing to posses in this world and he does his all to give it to people opinions or facts. KRS-ONE is one of significant influence by the ability to speak the truth and do it in a negative music genre i.e. "bitches and hoes"

The guy speaks serious sense.
Serena was wrong but I agree about starting her own event.

When the whole interview is going to be uploaded? BeckettConcepts?
In hip hop no one can speak more sense and positivity now than KRS 1, every leader may have said certain things out of context and passion. EVEN MALCOLM X so you should respect KRS cos right now there are not many good lecturers in Hip Hop that actually speak sense.
I like how KRS says Kanye is arrogant but then tells Serena SHE is tennis.. still got love though.
no stains no learning (word krs one..
Amen to that!
mybe they are on the same wave length?(which they are)
KRS ONE THE GOD MC

TheTeacha!
I think he just doesn't want to even choose a side, he's on both. He's neutral I think.
Down by law!

@cavaleer
rap is not a culture but hip hop is
@TRUEFUNKSOULDIER its called growth! Gotta make childish mistakes when ur a child, ukno!

KRS one is a Leo
not an irrelevant rapper he owns his credentials he created hip hop to insult him by saying he's a rapper is to show ignorance.
Media controller started wit jbmorgan

but again it happened.. and heres the thing my man."keep it real"/the realness etc has been the
rallying clarion call in HipHop for as long as i remember.and when its own does this {albeit in an unfashionable way} cats like kris throw him under the bus.no one came to

... well im just going by krs own words on criminal minded. if he says "over nearly everything" in a song then sorry ... i missed that.
It's like the opinions vanish once the man him self speaks. I mean now it's official. Kanye isn't hip hop, Kanye is teen music, like nsync. Or Taylor Swift. No wonder he got all mad with her and Beck! Because they are his direct competition. Them and Clay Aiken.
college dropout and late registration were super hip hop
True. And MBDTF is his best album and it's like 40% hip-hop. Sometimes staying true to a genre doesn't automatically equal good. Hip-hop needs to establish subgenres like rock did, that way nobody would get mad when somebody isn't 100% boom bap hip-hop anymore.

If you think Kanye isn’t hip hop that just shows how ignorant you are.
I think he said it as a joke.
But why not?
Love your enemy.
Only a few understand how to break away from masters
THESE PPL ARE ACTUALLY DELUSIONAL
im sorry but i never watch MTV -.- the golden age is over
Ask him to speak on littil wanye ?
if he was sober, cuz he was drunk... is all theory's truth is what happened, you followin me?
I wouldn't even bother to explain what I think of that kanye west weirdo
@QUANTUMMECHANIC720...do you know who KRS ONE is? If you did, you wouldn't be saying he's full of shit.
krs lost it when 'you become god' statement
He's not on a side...
kNOWLEDGE rEIGNS sUPREME oVER nEARLY eVERYONE!
Of course he takes hip hop serious he helped pioneer it...now say u started a company not necessarily to make money but bc it was your passion then 20 years later or the next generation comes along and gives it a 180 which caused controversy bc it lost its meaning everybody lost sight of why u started that company they just turned your neighborhood tavern into a strip club..u would be upset too
