    The fact that theres no bottles being popped, no drugs being used, no naked girls, no disrespect for oneself or others. clean lyrics as well. By “clean” i mean that his flow is smooth and his vocabulary is extensive, he uses foul language but only to diss. krs is a legend

    • @ch.illmatic

    • @Jose-ew7xg
      @Jose-ew7xg 4 года назад +14

      It's ch.illmatic i mean clean in the sense that its smooth. I understand that the n word is not proper, it doesnt matter your skin color, its not something you’d want to say with joy. The amount of times he says the n word is extremely limited. Also, he uses that word to offend, not exactly he refers to himself as the n word.

      @@necsobeat Flow y lírica casi que en todos los sentidos, aparte si ve sus álbumes siempre habla a favor del pueblo, sin necesidad de ser mainstream, mucha gente de él solo conoce "Sound of tha Police" teniendo mucho mejores canciones. Y Canser basicamente dijo "¿porqué Kanye West tiene más premios que KRS?" refiriéndose a que es simplemente superior. Lo cual en mi opinión no podría ser más cierto.
