      Reed My Sole You are absolutely right. Big up the Blast Master KRS-1. I may not agree with everything but I have listened to his music and interviews for many years to know that this man is worth my attention. He is one of the most intelligent and articulate voices out of the hip-hop culture.

    im from Europe and the reason why we respect so much the hiphop culture is because we are raised with some valours that in USA dont exist anymore...valours like respect, shame, humbleness etc; we are down to earth since an ealry age...grand parents are also a big part in our development as adults...thats why we so attracted to artists with a real message like Immortal Tehnique, Tech N9ne, Eminem, AOTP, RA and many more

    The funny thing about Hip Hop is most countries outside of the US respects Hip Hop more than the people in the US who created it. Its sad that in Japan they respect lyricism more than we do here in the US.

Now days it’s kids with pink dreads too high to write a story for people to truly relate to. It’s turned into a circus IMO

    a lot of black and African culture gets accepted in Europe more than America, and its sad. this reminds me of how Josephine Baker(a famous dancer 100 years ago) had to go to Paris to dance, because Americans were too racist to watch a black dancer get all the attention on stage. i also see it in dancehall, there are groups all over Europe that love dancehall and are passionate about learning dancehall dancing. yet white Americans still have trouble even learning black American dances. and whats funny about it is, America is the country that has been molded and shaped with African culture since its inception, America is the nation that has had a sizable black population for 400 years. and yet Europe, the only place that is truly the white man's land, ironically shows more love to black people and cultures.

    Germany is the largest market for Hip-Hop outside of US America. What is phenomenal is that to this day the Germans are following Old-School Rap & Hip-Hop. They are very interested in Underground and Conscious US Rap & Hip-Hop. This may be because Rhyming and Justice is part of German history and Identity. Germans have so much literature on slavery,as they once have been slaved for hundreds of years and fought themselves free from Bondage & Slavery.

    The Teacha dropping more knowlege. I'm from Switzerland and have always wondered why I've been able to see so many amazing hip hop acts here (KRS, Wu, Gangstarr, Dilated, Sean P, JMT, Cypress Hill, Lord Finesse, Large Pro, OC etc...). I assumed they were getting better pay out here... but I guess it's that a lot of us live by the founding principles mentioned in this video - Peace, love, unity and having fun. As a small country with 4 official languages we were born into a country which by it's own nature is accepting of different cultures.
    To this day the only physical altercation I've ever seen at a hip-hop show was M.O.P.'s DJ punching the local warm-up DJ on stage - and the crowd went cold as ice...

  • @Dymez510
    @Dymez510 9 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    He's on point for the most part, but he's off on a couple of things in my opinion. First, there's no doubt that certain European countries embraced Hip Hop before *mass*-America did -- I remember NWA going to France *a lot* back when they first popped -- but he has to put some onus on the *people*, too. It wasn't just the government. White America, the individuals and companies that own those venues artists perform in, was *not* going to book and attend Hip Hop artists' shows back then. They do it now because it's profitable. It's all about the money. Artists like KRS-One, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, and etc are no longer profitable in America, so you won't get booked because the *people* can't make a dollar off of you. They won't attend your shows. There's ageism in *Mainstream* Hip Hop; it's all about "what's the fresh new thing?" When it comes down to certain European countries, it's not just the government, but the *people* have always embraced *Black culture* as a whole in those certain European countries, like France, Belgium and Germany. Marvin Gaye was treated like a king in Belgium when he moved there to escape from all his demons in the US and UK; in the process he recorded the biggest hit of his career. It's the *people* that controls what does or doesn't sell.

    A good chunk of this is what Lord Jamar has been speaking about in regards to Whites being guests. White Europeans were into Hip Hop BEFORE Whites in America. There was always this sort of White Supremacy mindset going on here in the USA that Blacks have had to deal with on a daily basis. Nomatter how positive the messages coming from Bambaataa's own mouth, there were no White fans or Hip Hop heads into the music unless they were fellow musicians like Blondie, The Talking Heads, The Clash, etc..

    There is no "European Government." Europe is a continent with dozens of countries. There is no unified government of the nations. I will say that underground emcees get shows in countries like Italy, Sweden, France, etc. while they don't get love in their own cities here in the US. The thing is that you can't paint Europe with a broad brush because hip hop isn't getting the same love in places like Hungary.

      NOCDIB if there’s no European government then why do we need everything we do to be agreed by the EU. Come on, get out of the cave and realise they’ve turned these sovereign nations into a European super nation.

    Over the summer I was smoking with my coworker on our lunch break and he called up Africa Bambaataa and put him on speaker phone. Shit was soooooo dope. My man is in his 30s now but apparently Bam was in the hood talking to the kids (Rican kids in this case, not that it matters) and is still in contact with a ton of them.

    You know it's weird if I didn't travel myself I would disagree with KRS 1 but this brotha speaks the truth. It's Amazing how Hip hop and African Americans period are view in other countries vs America. It's almost like night and day. The only think I disagree with is KRS 1 letting average day Americans off the hook. In America Iggy wins tons of hip hop awards while in Herford Germany there is a biggg ass statue of Tupac that was created by an Italian artists. They have Tupac looking like a Greek God. lol European countries are way more knowledgeable about hip hop than Americans are now. That is why I tell people to get your passport and travel. Your view of your self and the world will change instantly.

    I can't imagine any of the members of the hip-hop scene today getting together to discuss matters other than making money. I suppose that's just a sign as to how far hip-hop has come and has been allowed to be manipulated by Capitalist America.
    It's funny you have someone like Azealia Banks, who has put out a couple songs and that makes her think she can talk about hip-hop as if it's something she owns just because of the colour of her skin. Then you have the people like Afrika Bambaataa and KRS-One who are important players in the creation and evolution of hip-hop, giving us the realness. I wonder if she'll add them to the list of people she calls out because they have a contrasting opinion, or if she'll respect what they have to say as if it wasn't for people like them hip-hop wouldn't be anywhere near where it is today, or maybe not even created.

      Dot B De neither. They don't bump real shit on the radio like that. So I gotta go to TH-cam like everyone else and keep digging underground, so no I was quite serious. There is a lot of undiscovered talent out there and the best ones could be the ones you never heard of, so I don't listen to the radio unless it's satillite cause the real talent is not represented anymore.
