I'm Mexican and I'm glad we can can teach and learn from each other. we are only loosing the fight because we are both trying to be the biggest minority. When in reality if black and brown come together we will be a powerful majority! The Aztecs and the Adalians the horn of Africa and Mesoamerica the two greatest cultures, imagine what we will accomplish if we came together with the spirit of our ancestors.
One day long after he's gone people will learn who this brilliant man was. We simply can't know it now. It doesn't work that way. This track leaves one speechless.
He never rapped with his ego. Maybe in the beginning in his career but he switched that up real quick. Now he will go down as legend like how some ppl look at Gandhi.
I'm of American indigenous heritage. Yet I find some inaccuracies in this song. Particularly in the fact that the Spanish were thieves. Don't get me wrong this song is dope. Yet to fit the narrative we can't look at the Spanish as the only thieves. The Aztec themselves were a warrior conquesting nation who were feared by neighboring tribes. That's why said tribes paired up with the Spanish to overthrow the Aztecs..Without this inside ally the Spanish probably would have not had success.. The Aztecs were tyrants themselves. History consistently repeating itself..
I remember being afraid in 2012. I turned 16, and as agnostic then as I am now, but so much fear mongering. And I played into it. Smoked so much pot with my best friend that summer. Hung out as often as I could. Lots of adventures. Went to move to Georgia with my aunt and her family. Prior to the move, this dropped. Talk about a comfort song lol. After the rapture that never happened, just imagine all my laughter. That was the year I learned that nobody is, as reliable a source as, ourselves. The year I started to think freely.
went back and re-listen to it and it wasn't removed. but that version so lackluster because of the beat change and more subdued delivery that i completely forgot.
Krs is the best Everybody el se go for money drugs and violence Krs go for the knowledge.. People that talk shit just don't know about hip hop. Krs the best love from Mexico.
the god of hip hop, thsi guy never ever stops, is there anyone still in the game as long as he has been with the same amount of respect shown ???????????
Over 100 of the most hardcore hip-hop groups lent their wisdom for the book *HOW TO RAP* along with *HOW TO RAP 2*. They interviewed dudes like Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang, Das EFX, Heltah Skeltah, Tribe, Pharcyde, and others.
"The consciousness may shift, you may turn the light But you are the universe, you're gonna be alright The pole may shift, your soul may lift To higher consciousness but you know all this"
All the way from "Cuz Yo Im like an arrow and Scott is the crossbow, say sumpthin now.. ya thought so" to 80% of world control is mental, thank you KRS for being the heat, smoke and fyah!
I can see how the Devil and other evil forces would want KRS to stop existing. The level of quality and mass topics is just overwhelming and mind boggling! Do y’all understand or recognize greatness in your presence?
Lyricism at his greatest, that's why hes the beats that mad lion is putting down. This is something this young, so-called rappers. Everybody sounds the same needs to listen to. Listen to original lyrics and hip-hop. Meaning with true culture behind it. With the fourth elements of hip-hop, the M c, the D j, the break dancing, and the graffiti and you gotta remember we are the fifth element of original hip hop's where's all started, one love got to hit them with your ping.
Yesyoaaahhhrrr.....the Teacher with new teaching material...this Man is inspiring to learn and to think and to maximise the freedom of every individual Soul ;-) I listen him since `87...KRS ONE - still unique twenty twelve on the Top - and peace out to Scott La Rock...
dude... krs one is a machine. some sort of godlike hip-hop cyborg programmed to spit out mad lyrics over and over again, forever and ever... rappers who smoke 10 grams of crack a day cant even keep up with him. he just won't fucking give up. he won't even slow down. this man is from another planet, i'm sure of it. he dropped a freestyle at a concert in my home town last year that was otherworldly. it could've been the shrooms, but i'm pretty sure he was glowing at one point. respect, my brother!
More like this joint goes millions of years over their domes. If it's not Weezy sippin on syrup or big Sean singing dumb ass lyrics like' I hate you." The dislikers of this joint can never fully understand it. Damn test tube babies lol.
U'r really smart bro; last time I checked KRS-One wasn't new school. An old Nokia found in 2015 is still a damn old Nokia. Study Hip Hop, its rhythm, and its logos [its internal consistency of the message]. Nice Try abindie Karibik
I don't care what all the haters say, Kris went in on this song as he always does. Regardless of how you haters feel, if you didn't come out of this song without any type of knowledge, this obviously wasn't for you. It wasn't about style, rhythm or flow. It was about the lesson the teacher was giving you.
For everybody saying this video is trash , how about focusing on the message that's inside of it . Y'all so used to hearing garbage , that you don't when you're actually being educated , smh .
besides that, the quality of the video has to be taken into context. its clearly not a million dollar record label backed project, so for whatever they spent, i think its dope. plus it aids in telling KRS's story beautifully. haters gonna hate.
Every time I hear this I swear this is the best beat I’ve ever heard in my life. This song, beat, project, everything is just at the top level. I consider myself a good lyricist and KRS one is always blowing me away with his flawless masterpieces.
@@Loveilis the version you heard is the original to my understanding but this is what made it to the album th-cam.com/video/VMwTIA5AwZs/w-d-xo.html Unfortunately its looses all of its energy to the change and the song (to me) doesnt pop the same way
Oh my god. And i just finished reading 2012 Story by John Major Jenkins. i love it i love it i love it. Cant wait. i wish i could do a song with the Teacha Krs One.
KRS-1 is the living God of HIP-HOP. Through his RAP teachings we are elevated and enlightened. Before him there were none, and after him shall be no more. Irreplaceble.
The world wasn't ready for this ... But I'm still spinning it .
and still isnt ready.
Me too
Damn right
@@marvinscottjr.4310 DAMN RIGHT!!!
We are ready. Since 2012. Speaking for the important Germans!!!
People just don’t understand how big Krs is, the living legend, we are truly blessed to witness his greatness #GodBlessHisSoul 👏🏼

The knowledge being dropped is great, yes but the fact that he was able to put it on a song & make it sound so good... This is GREATNESS
This song after a "pandemic". Lol

I can't express my appreciation that KRSone always stands with Raza. Black and Brown. If we can stand together we change history.

LOW HAND
Who listened to the message back in the day. Im 47 and this gives me goosebumps. KRS 1 is a man of knowledge. Listen and learn young bucks
Krs is the best
Everybody el se go for money drugs and violence
Krs go for the knowledge..
People that talk shit just don't know about hip hop.
Krs the best love from Mexico.

KRS has the same energy and intensity as he did in the 80s&90s..this brother is ageless
Some of the truest lyrics ever spit on a beat, with the one of the filthiest beats ever... Knowledge Reigns Supreme
Boom Bap is still here!!!
Straight up Def in 2020, "You are the Universe you gonna be alright "
2019 WHO`S HERE?? 💖
Nice piece I guess
The Greatest MC Of All Time!
🙀
the state of hip hop vs KRS ONE...ignorance vs knowledge...time for a higher level
Super Word
How can someone make such an incredible song like this? the complex music sampling and deep lyrics geez
the god of hip hop, thsi guy never ever stops, is there anyone still in the game as long as he has been with the same amount of respect shown ???????????
2020 flow like we ain't even seen yet.

Happy 0:30 glad you still hear loveing all beats respect to you and lion krs one
"The consciousness may shift, you may turn the light
But you are the universe, you're gonna be alright
The pole may shift, your soul may lift
To higher consciousness but you know all this"
I take this song over all the self-destructive drill music of today. This is Hip Hop. Knowledge over beats. Big up KRS One and Mad Lion for this one.
That track still hard as hell!
Respect from South, South Bronx... Free the Land!
We've been shifting for 30 years it seems
From 1980 to about 2016
The shift is now, it's occurring now
No song tops this in hip hop music. This is not just a regular classic. This is tue timeless and higher educational.
KRS ONE UNA LEYENDA DEL HIPHOP!
MEXICO
Thank you Chris, for the knowledge. I am an Aztec Warrior.
Another super-dope world history lesson from the ultimate Hip Hop Teacha... Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody!!!
Superfire
KRS is the fucking truth..check out our channel if you've ever shit with the door open..
KRS YES YES YES! I been following the teacher for more than 20 years and he has NEVER let me down.
Krs forever!!! and that beat! yow!
Spitting truth and knowledge in the form of rhymes and verses. Keep doing what you're doing.
The beautiful thing is this is an accurate history lesson as well :)
WOW- ABSOLUTELY- AMAZING- AWESOME!!!! 👽👽👽👽
All the way from "Cuz Yo Im like an arrow and Scott is the crossbow, say sumpthin now.. ya thought so" to 80% of world control is mental, thank you KRS for being the heat, smoke and fyah!
"if you ever want to escape armageddon, read a diffrent book..." (than the bible)
KRS your so true; O.N.E.... :))
Never knew he meant the bible! (I'm also not really an educated listener)
@@RsKnDR0991 - He wasn't saying that. He was telling you to keep studying.
@@jasonito23 bible the truth church the lie
What?!?! (Ironic) then why? Are you still here here?
FACTS THE NUMBER ONE BOOK THAT HAS BEEN TOTALLY TAMPERED WITH, things put in an things taken out as KRS would say “ WHY IS THAT”
i cant get enough of this joint !! it got my energy like HIGH POWER!!!!!!!
MUCH RESPECT KRS ONE!!! Whe're you gon' get it like this?!? This is the realist track that came out since HipHop took a STEEP dive to say the least!!
I can see how the Devil and other evil forces would want KRS to stop existing.
The level of quality and mass topics is just overwhelming and mind boggling!
Do y’all understand or recognize greatness in your presence?
it's funny how he said in 2012 the cycle ends and your consciousness may shift. that's exactly what happened to me.
higher level!! we`re living it right NOW!! 💖

For me, it took some years. But a cycle definitely closed back thenz
Me too....lol

Outstanding track, very interesting verse about the mayans!
Dude, KRS-ONE is rockin 47! Still one of the best emcees. Where these other rappers gonna be at 47?
Token, Rakim and Rah Digga.

KRS One is the best! i have Aztec blood running through my veins and it feels good to know that someone is teaching about my ancestors.
