    No MC can test (but one, one, one)
    Step into a world, where hip-hop is me
    Where MC's and DJ's
    Build up their skills as they play every day for the, rapture
    Yeah, what what
    Yes yes y'all, ya don't stop, KRS-One, rock on
    Yes yes y'all, ya don't stop, KRS-One, rock on

      There are some legends around still just harder to find. For instance complete perth is a lyrical God who has rhyme schemes like doom while managing to have a narrative and guys like k.a.a.n are incredible.

      I’m 54 and WOW!! it’s an impossible concept and profound feeling to explain how utterly life changing it was to be there and AWARE when Rap and Hip-Hop erupted.
      More and more, I don’t share any of it. It has all been an incredibly personal, political, and spiritual journey. I can’t and won’t share this, my heart and soul, to dead shark eyes.
      Feel so very honored (and VERY lucky) to have witnessed its beginnings and constant evolvement…i went to every live show I could get to if I could make it in a 6-7 hour drive.
      This Music. Matters. Now more than ever.
      Forever changed my life then, and it continues to, consistently.
      ETERNALLY thankful to KRS-One, and all other artists of this genre who had/have unbelievably powerful stories to share in their music. The urgency. The truths.
      That the artists who’ve had the undeniable courage to tell the tales (ones that MUST be heard), to convey the tragic disparities in this country, speak about the violence, relate the inhumanity of injustice and disenfranchisement, illuminate and deeply flawed and widely misunderstood system of incarceration - and so much MORE - can also manage to create the most fire beats, funk, and deep soulfulness …
      **AND** to then imbue it all with a magical poetry? Beyond brilliant.
      Just. Beyond.
      Absolutely Ineffable.
      I’m glad to see female artists fighting their way in, but we need more, soooo many more of their voices. Girls of color, all POC, but women especially, need to see powerful female artists and know better their undeniable strengths and deep worth.
      (And they shouldn’t have to learn that any woman’s wise truths, notably from any woman of color, will only be heard if she’s nearly naked.)
      Truthfully, we ALL need to hear those important stories women have to tell us, or the historical experiences male artists in Rap and Hip-Hop have paid a deadly price to tell, of so many tragic centuries, will remain undeniably incomplete.
      Their time is past due by decades. Please let us do everything possible to change that however we can.
      🙏❤️🔥

    The closest i ever got to the feeling of real Hip Hop was, when i saw Krs One performing in my Hometown in The Netherlands. The man was touring with his two sons and let people come to the stage and rap with him. After the show, KRS comes of the stage and started talking with people and giving hands and signatures. I was standing a couple of meters from the man and i thought by my self, this is the teachter and one of the most important souls of H.I.P H.O.P. I feel blessed and thankfull for that moment!

    been bumping KRS since 1988 back when I had my old Walgreens headphones barely held together with electric tape, back when I could tell you which song is on the B-side of the cassette while listening to the A side, been bumping KRS since walking to school with the fake "pleather" Thriller jacket and S curl, and a book bag full of 40 Cent Now& Later´s in the book bag, and flipping them for a dollar a pack or 10 cents each.
    Been rocking KRS since fronting by pressing the button on the Motorola beepers to make it look like somebody was calling you in class.
    been rocking KRS since "Senior skip day" in 91 bumping "Edutainment" and I had the big ass speakers in the trunk but my amp didn´t have a good ground so I ended up using an old school 40 watt "BOOSTER" with the cable going straight to the fuse box and scorch marks around it had my dad´s work car "smelling like electricity".
    Been bumping KRS since siting in the barracks getting my uniform ready for Marine Corps Commanding General´s inspection... now 30 years later, I am 49 years old STILL bumping KRS ENTIRE collection like it just came out while I am running up and down stairs all day at work IN FINLAND.
    And to those of you younger folks that want to "compare KRS to anyone in the 2000´s? a little advice, go on ahead and listen to his ENTIRE collection, not just 1 or 2 songs, don´t look for quotables... oh you´re gonna hear them... but don´t just listen only for that.
    Don´t look for KRS verses anybody... just LISTEN... that´s it... listen.
    Don´t listen to him trying to compare who is "the greatest rapper of all time" because if you are doing that then you might as well just Google search "best rapper of all time" and whatever comes up first, tit will probably be whoever is the most popular rapper of the moment, whoever has the most Twitter followers this week.
    To me, KRS IS Hip Hop... he has longevity, hits, lyrics for days, style, he was "conscious before that was even "a thing", his live albums? PLEASE, him staying close to Jamaican roots, graffiti artistry, B.boys / B girls, peace movements, putting unsigned artists on, close to his fans, him not just "squashing beefs and putting it behind him... but squashing beefs and making dope tracks together years later, KRS can hold his head up in any hood, any country, on any stage, doing world tours, generation after generation of fans.
    Don´t look at me like I am just an old school "fanboy" actually I am a former LIVE dj/radio host, so hell yeah... I can rattle off 10 dope unsigned NEW young artists right now.
    By the way.... The song "Rapture" by Blondie w lead singer Debbie Harry was THE first #1 single in the US to have a rap feature.... yup... a former punk rock band with a pretty girl doing lead vocals so they called them "new wave" not to confuse them with racist "Oy Punk" bands of the time.
    So there you go... a partial history of the song "Rapture" now go on ahead and check out the song "Yuletide Throwdown" by Fab 5 Freddy and Blondie for a real surprise. thank me later
