Thanks for all the support and well wishes over the past year. I've experienced a lot of loss and a lot of blessings and am excited to be back on content full time. This is the first of a series of scheduled content you'll see over the next week. New TBD's. New All Out Shows. New podcast. New music show. Yall are the illest.
Sorry to hear that Justin. Glad to see you back up loading. Hip Hop needs your voice.
We've missed you and Jude! Hope you and family are good, sorry for your losses. Welcome back Justine !
We missed you bro.
The Company Man welcom back, brother
@@IdeaStudioBKK Thanks brother!
Krs One is a complete MC... 1. Live Performer, 2. A Great Battle MC 3. Great Song writer 4. Great Freestyler 5. Political Activist
Dude can produce too. KRS has made some crazy instrumentals too...
1993 Return of the Boom Bap still gets played on my iPhone semi regularly.
Every song was classic
It's really interesting that Masta Ace is never mentioned in this conversation. When you look into the breadth of his catalog you really have to acknowledge that he kept a level of consistency for thirty years.
He released a critically acclaimed album in 2019! Think about that.
Agreed, masta ace needs much more acknowledge-ment !!
@@merryn9000 I see what you did there
@@kazzykaioken8873 I caught that as well
Ace one of the most consistent
KRS is a GOAT. Sad he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
He gets the recognition with Hip Hop purist.
He gets if from hip hop heads, the people that actually know the culture & history. It's inevitable that the founders & pioneers wont get the praise from casuals & younger mainstream fans
Just like the Teacha's protégé : th-cam.com/video/yRe5svqSZ-M/w-d-xo.html
For sure in my top five. Highly influential in style and culture of hip hop
He’s the professor he that taught everyone’s goat
KRS One is truly one of the greatest in the art form. His creativity and clarity is 💯🔥🔥
It’s been like a year, happened to go on TH-cam and blessed, this was posted 30 seconds ago 😂
FEELS GOOD TO BE HOME!
Missed you guys. Good to see you're back. Stay safe
Thanks GRTV. How you handling quarantine? You locked down?
Large up Lordie everytime, made some of the best content on TH-cam. Channel 4 need to slap you a producer role! Wish you nothing but success, Large up Justin aswell, quality content as ever, love from the UK 🏴🇬🇧
KRS is in my top 5 ever. He ultimately created the conscience hip hop genre after influencing the gangsta rap genre. One of the best to rap over a preemo beat also.
Where do you put The Message in influencing conscious rap?
@@TheCompanyMan I personally think of The Message as the original street rap record. Not as conscious as My Philosophy imo. Although around the same time as My Philosophy Public Enemy had some conscious records on Yo Bum Rush The Show.
KRS-One doesn't get the respect because young people (naturally) like modern things and don't respect longevity (at least not until they grow old and then all of sudden OH MY GOD REMEMBER THIS THAT AND A THIRD ABOUT LIL WHATEVER THAT WAS THAT ERA MAN) but for a mature music enthusiast KRS is an undisputed King of Hip-hop.
This hip hop and We’s a nation, don’t u wanna hear more KRS on your radio station? 👀
Theophilus Jones instead of broadcasting how we smokin trees. On the radio we need to hear more local emcees.
me? i got no jewels on my neck,
why? i don't need em, i got your your respect!
KRS ONE for 20 years I rocked,
I do it JMJ and Scott La Rock
We are the biggest nation.
United Nations of hip Hop baby
KRS One has always been my top MC of all time, He still puts out nice albums even today. To reminds these children on the PM Dawn beat down, those clowns were dissing MLK and X, def need to get thrown off any stage on sight!
1. KRS
2. Rakim
3. add a MC
4. add a MC
5. add a MC
Chuck D, Kane, Kool Moe Dee
This was one of the dumbest shit KRS ever done, to assault a diabetic person while saying "Stop the violence". Prince Be passed away 4 years ago, after having few strokes and losing his leg and you still talking this shit? You need to be ashamed of yourself.
Great to have you back Justin! I remember back in 2004 my 9th grade English teacher told us about KRS-ONE and what it stood for. She looks like Monica from Friends, and caught us all off guard with that one=)
THATS AWESOME!!!
KRS was one of the best rap shows I've ever seen. This was maybe 5 or 6 years ago too.
KRS is a top 10 MC, his story telling and "history teaching" was phenomenal, tbey didn't call him the teacha for nothing
I agree. I rarely see him ranked higher than 15. Deserves better.
hes tha TRUE GOAT. Way better than taking and Jane peace
I meant rakim and kane
MrKing8050
Top 10?
Krs-one's bio,contributions(as both an emcee and PRODUCER),skill set,body of work and pedigree are virtually unparalled in the annals of hip hop history.
He's easily top 5 in my view and has a very compelling case for being the goat.
They go bye modern eras with pre historic rappers. Lupe fiasco is underated. One song of his dominates anything today.
Imo, Slick Rick is the 80s GOAT. He's one of the greatest storytellers in hip-hop history, his influence is undeniable, and his flow doesn't sound dated at all. La Di Da Di alone has been sampled more than 500 times. Whether people realize it or not, their favourite rapper lives under the shadow of Rick the Ruler.
I totally agree was just listening to lick the balls. The show and la do da do cemented him as an all time great, The rulers back took him to 🐐. That was the beginning of the next generation. Not a lot of James brown. The music was original. He had some krs 1 rakim and told stories. He had some LL in his bragging. Big Daddy with the lyrics. The sound was totally different teenage love was cool. young world was way ahead of it's time. His flow was amazing for years I thought there was two guys rapping. Biggie used that style in gimme the loot. Unfortunately the rulers reign was so short. Behind bars was good but I think he was too distracted with all the legal stuff to really bring out his best. I feel we missed out on his best stuff but still my favorite artist of the eighties.
Its crazy cause no one really talks about storytellers. They paint vivid pictures in your mind of things that most times give a relative narrative. Some of my all time favs are Slick Rick, Nas, Raekwon, the GZA, Biggie Smalls, Murs, Del tha Funky Homosapien, Kool Keith, Canibus, MF Doom, Lupe Fiasco. Just to name a few
Rakim rule the 80's Slick Rick was good. Couldn't touch Rakim JMO.
@@keithmoran5695 much respect to my Suffolk county strong island resident. I lived about thirty minutes from him and was a friend of my cousin. Definitely the favorite for the heads, but he lacked the personality, originality, and overall commerical appeal of the ruler. I don't think Ra's style aged well either. The ladies didn't really rock him like slick Rick ll or Kane. I seen all them perform, and unfortunately rah was the worst entertainer. He and krs were great rappers that you take your boys to see, but take your girl out there to see rakim krs and she's not impressed. Lol. Rakim like krs lacked versatility also. Rakim was probably the best of the head nodders, but the cool was all he came with. Definitely influenced many that followed and can see why you would feel that way.
@Aaron Mack Much Respect also. Rakim came here to New Orleans last July it was the best $25 dollars I spent in my life. I'm old school hip hop. I got love for Krs one Big Daddy Kane LL Cool J and many many more. Rakim is personal favorite. Long Live Real Hip Hop.
KRS ONE is the best! "My philosophy"! 😎
Because he doesn't sellout to the sound of the mainstream, next question.
Glad you're back Justin. I hope everything is going well for you.
Thanks SW. Everything is awesome. How are you?
@@TheCompanyMan I'm okay, just trying to make it. Thanks for asking, brother.
KRS-One?
We're in a generation where kids don't know 50cent for his music.....
As soon as krs one would come up today, cancel culture would bring up 13 and good
@@MrIcenice44 facts
@@MrIcenice44 bruhhh I heard that song and I was SHOOK. Still don't know why he defended Afrika Bambaata, too.
@@johnd.597 right
I was just thinking about this lol. I was born in ‘90 so KRS was a little before my time but I always loved his shit
KRS said it best MC's Act like they don't know
No doubt, BDP is old school, but we ain’t going out!
Boogie down was performing hey they ain’t no joke/boogie down with the sound called BDP
I’m almost 22 years old and maybe I wasn’t around at the time but Why is LL Cool J not in the 🐐 conversation? I feel like he should be in everyone’s top 10.... this man was really the first young rap superstar (we got young kids coming out to this day). He has more hits than probably any rapper not named Eminem, Drake, or Lil Wayne... his longevity is underrated nobody talks about how he came out with a bang in 84 and was making hits well into the 2000s... he has influence Eminem , 2Pac , 50 and pretty much any rapper that came out after him... he has his respect public enemy and another artist in the 80s (I can’t think of who right now) has said he should’ve been the FIRST rap solo artist in the R&R Hall of game NOT Tupac.. and he has nice lyrics as well he’s not bad at all and even lowkey ended Kool Moe Dee’s career... Mama said knock you out is lowkey a diss to him but that song is so popular nobody even thinks about it like that ... well he should be on the top of everyone’s list.. LL Cool J is hard as hell
BIGFAX.
I agree even Kool Moe Dee said LL was underrated and said he had mastered the music business. With that being said the Term GOAT as it applies to Hip Hop is generally considered to have started with LL who took it from Ali. He named his greatest hits album GOAT.
I’m 25 and I totally feel the same. LL influence is super underrated
You're absolutely right.
@@SeboHyatt Thank you like to thank I know my stuff.
KRS-ONE is in 50 Cent’s top 3 all time
50 said KRS was the guy who inspired him to rap in the first place.
Mykah 9 puts KRS at #1.
lutalutamedia
Where did you see/hear Mikah 9 say that?
I value Mikah's opinion on emcees more than any rapper on this Earth damn near.
In fact Mikah is even more criminally unsung than Kris is.
@@kevinscott59 One of his interviews. He listed Kool Keith, LL, and KRS One as his favorites.
lutalutamedia
Oh wow.
Ok.Cool.
Kris doesn't get the recognition he deserves because 95 percent of the people who listen to hip hop aren't actual hip hop heads.
Period.
As an African still living in Africa, I'll say that what KRS One taught was important, but it was also inaccurate and depended heavily on pseudo-history.
Still, he cared enough to teach, to say something different. And you know maybe that's love.
What was incorrect about his teachings? In your view
I'm in Africa, in South Africa in townships of Mdantsane Krs-One alldae nd everdae
@@kazzykaioken8873 good question.
Who still bumping My philosophy in 2020?
This proves that is all about sales and popularity for the media and a lot of fans
I agree wholeheartedly, KRS-One is a GOAT. I have every track he ever released, maybe not all features but his remixes, definitely. Knowledge Reigns Supreme! #BoomBap
Micheal Maddox that statutory rape song solidified his position on Mt. Rushmore 🙄😂
@@youngW951 Have you listened to the song? He's not promoting it he's talking about the consequences of living that life. Be a critical thinker!!
I'm on the same page. Have all his songs. KRS is on Mt. Rushmore!
@@DrLetMeBFrank No shit I listened to the song, critical thinking involves adding context and that song has a different context when you look at his support for afrika bambaataa, krs left the song open for interpretations he said "there is no moral to the story" so I can take it how I wanna . And I never said he was promoting anything
Definitely is #1 in my opinion. I've got all his albums
I think KRS was ahead of his time. His lyrics are sometimes complex to understand but if you enlighten yourself you get acquainted to it. I had to grow to really appreciate how he transcends cultures from The Bronx to a city in Ghana. He is definitely the Greatest MC of all time. Certified by Nas. Yhp
Would you look at that, feels like a long lost friend, damn man! Feels good to see you back, stay safe.
Name-dropping Kool Moe Dee right at the end. I actually started listening to Moe Dee cuz I heard his name in a ranking of Hip Hop artists, loved the style, discovered LL from the disstracks they had back and forth, and then decided to work my way from there on up and found KRS, Rakim, Public Enemy and so on. Moe Dee started up my curiossity for hip hop and i'm glad it did
Blessed to receive this video
Because of Afrika Bambatta. He should've got away from that sinking ship. . word
I give him respect for supporting his friend in tough times.
@@TheCompanyMan yeah that's cool but it's alot that comes with being a baby bumber homes. . if it truly is a sickness he himself wants to correct, then yes, that's you when can show support. However if dude was chronic with that shit (which he was) & that was even his little twist, then that's a bad thing champ. do you support gay initiation on children, cause that's what he was doing in a sense. I love Planet Rock & the other song Rick Ross Fat Joe & them sampled. I won't touch anything from that dude past that. Fr. but that's me tho. sms
The Company Man Yikes
Bullshit
@@WelshGrey yeah sucks right?!. smmfh & flagging . . at some of yall
Possibly he's prioritized Teaching over glorification? He does deserve the glory, but I don't recall him focusing on the more or less of it. He does however constantly rap the pure hip hop of the highest quality to the people. Thus music and shows are awesome.
We got your back thru the good and the bad, do what u gotta do, we will always be here for it!
Mr E Man thank you brother
Glad to see you're doing better man. Stay safe and be blessed ♡
Thank you for always coming back Justin 💪🏿❤
Thank you for always being patient with me.
missed you justin! good video, hope your staying safe and i'll keep my eyes peeled for new content.
Thank You Lawd!👑JH!!
Whatup Tay!
Where you been? Missed your take on these issues. Stay safe.
Learning about the business of selling music. Back on content full time.
Some aren’t fans of his political views and his Bambabatta support. People should separate the art from the artist.
I think this is a big part.
This is the big one to me. Artists lose reverence when they start talking too much.
What was the problem with Bambaataa?
Chris Abruzzi He basically defended Bambatta during his accusations
@@chrisabruzzi2803 Bambaataa was accused credibly of sexually assaulting boys, and KRS defend him like a jackass
I swear a lot in conversation but this guy is doin it so much n in such a way that it really takes away from some great content this show has to offer
Gr8 to see this channel still uploading btw!
Who's the kid?
If Hip Hop was a man.His name would be KRS ONE..Nobody in this culture..has ever PERSONIFIED the culture as a whole in all of its elements like KRS ONE......do the history...then do the math!!!
Happy to hear from y'all. Hope you're all doing well!
Thanks Pardeep. Just over here quarantinin'
Hell yes! we're back!
Those first few BDP albums were like the bible to me but I agree, KRS-ONEs mouth is not helping cement his (earned) legacy as potentially THE GOAT. Forgot to mention his support as Bambaataa amid child molestation allegations.
is the full version of this available?
13 and good
Oh how much I have waited for this video💔
Justin has uploaded fuck yea 🔥
Been a minute since I've seen one of these!
KRS releases TODAY are 🔥
His English language gets better and better
great show. didnt know of this till your tweet
It's been a minute since the last upload, but hope all of y'all doing good! 👊🏽
Krs 1 is hip hop....the true goat.......knowledge..mc....dj....dance...graphitti....5 elements only a few grasp.....not m n m
KRS One in the late 80’s was dope. Way before his time
E 40 and Mac Dre are from the 80’s. Nwa from the 80’s. Myka 9 from the 80’s. Aceyalone. If we’re talking style that is t given credit, its definitely all these, minus Nwa of course. So many from the late 80’s that pushed the way forward for the “golden era”.
Welsed BIGFAX
intelligent people acknowledge krs one and understand exactly what he is trying to achieve, but the mainstream music industry is not about self realization its about keeping people stupid, full stop
Ultramagnetic MCs , especially Kool Kieth
lol
Regarding Kane, I gave no F’s about those pics with Madonna and Naomi; now me being burned by spending my hard earned cash on 1990’s A Taste of Chocolate and 1991’s Prince of Darkness, that is the issue.
Then he waited until 1994 to drop Daddy’s Home. Rap was moving fast, you can’t last 5 years with no banger and stay relevant.
Kane got me too,Naver bought "Daddys Home" or "Looks like a hob for" At this point,Kool G. Has passed up Kane. You couldn't have told me that years back.
Before he fell off after Got Next album Yea definitely a GOAT. Last good album Boom Bap and that was last time I bought anything of KRS
Nope,Has released Albums Better than His Jive records run. I luv when ppl say that.
@Soca-Samuel The Red Indian Betta than that Check out 2017's "The World is Mind"
To my knowledge KRS 1 is still num one one one
The white dude wants to be certified so bad he doesn't knw what to do. But what really bothers me is that its literally like pulling teeth to get him to give his answer or opinion. He literally sots there and explains why hes about to give an answer and his reasoning for the answer before he even gives the answer.
I love Jude! And KRS but I didn't expect Jude on here lol
KRS is probably the greatest MC of all time. He doesn’t get the recognition he deserves is because he was massively,outwardly, loudly arrogant.
However, in 2023 he could still cook 99% of the Rappers of today and yesterday.
Nobody :
KRS ONE: Thirteen and good 🌚
And theres a video to it. But I did like the album Sex and Violence so I guess it was part of some concept.
The song isn't about him being with a 13yo. It's about the consequences of living that life. Read the lyrics and listen to the song.
Yo Justin is funny as hell man. I remeber when Kane did that Madonna shit, cats weren't feeling that shit it was like what ever , keep rapping bro!
Kimani Robertson 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thing about KRS 1 is that to me he was the first beast on the mike,his aggressiveness was like no other,as much as I loved Ra,BDK,G Rap,,L.L,Slick Rick etc (and I still do) Kris always felt like he could no on and on and on and his tunes were fuckin HARD."Bridge is Over" was merciless.The only thing is that KRS went at the weakest members ,he didn't go at G Rap or BDK. I couldn't name my 3 fave M.Cs from this time but L.L ,Rakim,Kane ,G Rap and KRS (and that's not including Slick Rick,Moe D (who bridged 2 generations of Hip Hop),Chuck D) but please don't ask me to take one out.
Not going at G Rap or Kane definitely hurt the impact of that battle.
@@TheCompanyMan I was so young and Hip Hop was so underground and the releases we got were so sporadic that I didn't really realize who was and wasn't a Juice Crew member until maybe a year later.One thing that I never hear talked about is M.C Shans track Beat Biter (which was hard) which went after L.L which is what the "Instead of trying to take out L.L you need your homeboys off the crack" is all about.
I get it but Shan was the man at the time. The other two were of course more dope, but nobody knew them really. It was too much risk and no reward for going at them at that time.
Krs one should be in the rocking roll hall of fame
Aside from Rakim none of the guys in the 80s get the respect they deserve for their lyricism and influence. KRS, Kool G, Kool Moe Dee, Chuck D, Big Daddy Kane, are all underrated.
No their not everyone you've mentioned gets highly praised except Moe Dee.....
@@aikenstodd G Rap is often forgotten.
@@aikenstodd No they don't KRS isn't often listed among the greats nor is Kane, Moe Dee or G.
@@TheCompanyMan I gotta disagree with you brother I just saw a post not to long ago on IG of Kane doing a show "it might've been at Barclays not too long ago" and he brought out the Juice Crew to do The Symphony when G. Rap came out the audience went bananas..... but than again it might've just been a N.Y.C. thing not to mention he's still active he did a project with 38. spesh a couple of years ago and it was decent.
@@rickyhunt4075 Whos not mentioning them though? These bloggers that post their Top emcees list? These dudes don't mention anybody who made music before 92........ Now if you would ask one of everyone's favorite emcees that's in the game like a Nas, Jay, Kiss, Ghost, etc, etc..... I can guarantee you a LOT of names would be mentioned that'll never make one of those blogger list. I've never seen Chuck on one of those list either and he influenced everybodies favorite "2pac"...... I never pay attention to those bullshit lists.
KRS ONE Is a legend straight up one of the best ever.
Return of the boom bap set the standard for everything I heard, or everything I was about to hear.
Yooooo, is this the homie Justin???? Damn it's been a minute, hope all is well with y'all 💪🏿😎
Thanks man. I appreciate you. How've you been?
John needs to get on getting you these files.
KRS-One is beyond goat status he cannot be compared to anyone
I saw KRS at a small club in 2016..incredible show...maybe he sprited up to see something..he def had reasons..
Even tho his debut just missed the 80's in 1990 the most under-appreciated rapper of all time is Masta Ace
2020 23rd album lead track Black Black Black . Still lethal , as to some others Ghostface's trainer Slick Rick sticks out especially when you factor in the Doug E.Fresh connection .
Honestly, I didn't even know what a goat was in rap terms until this video. I was confused for a moment. To me goats in reference to people are the sheep that know they mislead.
The thing with Kris is he has way to many projects and he flipped flopped views a lot...but as a live performance he is always in there
Because he is still alive.
He is The GOAT to me.

I chilled for a while, I put down my pen
But now some suckas from the Bronx got me started again
Now I'm not out to diss the whole Boogie Down
Just a featherweight crew from that part of town
You made a little record and then you start fronting
Tried to diss the Juice Crew but ain't hurt nothing
Now KRS-ONE, you should go on vacation
With that name sounding like a wack radio station
And as for Scott La Rock, you should be ashamed
When T La Rock said "It's Yours", he didn't mean his name
So step back, peasants, popping all that junk

Thing that killed Big Daddy Kane was a playgirl shoot.
Jude talks about that.
@@TheCompanyMan No he was talking about Madonna's SEX book where he posed with her and Naomi Campbell. Kane did a spread for Playgirl as well and he was mocked because Playgirl has a mostly gay readership despite it's name.
@@rickyhunt4075ahhh... bigfax. That was definitely the tipping point. Thank you for reminding me.
No mention of Kool G?
Next episode.
"13 & good" has a lot to do with it in my book. Brag rapping about banging thirteen year olds and you wonder why he's not got more respect? Had another one talking about women who claimed they got raped by performers were liars and actually asking for it because of how they dressed. ("Say Gal") Soooo...
"And if you have a daughter older than 15, I'ma r*** her. Take her, on the living room floor, right there in front of you, then ask you seriously what you wanna do? Frustrating isn't it, wanna kill me but I'ma kill you. Now watch me fck just a little while longer, please will you"
-- DMX
@@TheCompanyMan Oh there's lyrics for days you can cite of reprehensible language, but like KRS I don't consider DMX a GOAT either. Both had a lot of great songs but I disqualify people that go too far like that. Personal opinion, maybe I'm being over critical but I think there's lots of people with legacy and career that didn't go those places.
13 and Good was a caution track. It was happening back then, and still exists to this day. Why do most of you clowns think KRS-ONE actually did that? Come on now. Nobody ever mentions Biz Markie's Young Girl Bluez track do they? Another track caution warning to the men.
@@marvin7533 Where's the warning? He doesn't ever tell it from a cautionary place. Literally in the song he's bragging to his buddies about hooking up with a 13 year old girl, finding out she's 13, then having sex with her and being proud of it anyway.
There wasn't any moral, he literally says "there is no moral" at the end of the song. He doesn't have any crisis of conscience, no fork-in-the-road moment, in fact he doubles down by having an out of nowhere twist where he's propositioned by the girl's father for sex.
Even in the music video, he's appealing to the audience about how it was worth it even if he gets beaten in jail for it.
Also, there's still the matter of "Say Gal" where he's literally laughing at women who've been victims of rape because he thinks they made it up and wanted whatever they got. He wrote that one specifically about Mike Tyson's rape case and I'd love to hear the nuanced defense of victim-shaming.
"All you see in the newspapers nowadays
Is nuff gal talk bout them been raped
And them been molested and them been beat up
And them been all sexed up, SEEN? Hahahah
But now KRS-One comes to give you this
SAY GAL! Why you comin to the hotel?
SAY GAL! You wan good sex we can tell?
SAY GAL! Your skirt so tight it hug your butt
SAY GAL! You're lookin like you really want.. want..
GAL! Don't tell me you can wear what you want
Cause nowadays a most dem gal a dressin like a slut
SAY GAL! A woman must, respect herself
SAY GAL! So leave the see-through dress upon the shelf"
'The Teacher', educating us all that women who dress a certain way are asking for it.
Biz isn't the GOAT either, and KRS shouldn't be as well.
Are you fucking serious. Talk about a concept going over your head. Get a clue.
Rakim, BDK, KRS one, Kool G Rap, Kool Moe Dee
No disrespect but LL was not the first one to do songs for the ladies. Spoonie Gee ring a bell
If an artist "talks to much" it doesn't allow for ppl to make up or put their spin and narrative on things.
War of ideals...they hate Krs because hes spiritually liberated..there mad mostly because he wont spit there rederict....the rest is just personally taste
ITS ALL HAPPENING
Krs One is the best rapper of all time.
People always say krs is the goat but I never really heard his music
