My friend, you are so correct. It's artists like Kris that kept the standard high for MCing. He was the guy that nobody dared cross out of respect. The Teacha could shine a penetrating light on Hip Hop in any place, at any time, putting perpetrators on blast. Much respect for such an accurate observation. Peace.
I can Identify with everything Krs-One is saying. I was there and was a part of the Hip Hop Nation since 1979. Much props, much love, much respect for all true Hip Hoppers. Peace 2 Afrikaa Bambaataa and the Zulu Nation.
I understand that sentiment(especially if the movie were to come out of one of the major corporate studios). The point is that Kris is a living legend whose stature and life story is extremely underappreciated,even by many who claim to love hardcore hip hop and its history.
The truth period! I saw him on my birthday @ the Fox in Detroit May 3, 2008! The best birthday I had since I was a kid! Made me feel young again man! Him & MC Lyte rocking the mic, my two favorites of all time! He rocked his freestyle till they had to make him stop! He was rapping in front of folks camera phones & everything. People getting close to the stage as he freestyled talking to them directly! That let me know it was real! I miss the realness in the music, thank you KRS ONE! God bless!
This is what makes KRS-One One of, If not The Greatest MCee of all time. Taking his time to spread the knowledge of true Hip Hop Cultrue, & The REAL meaning of Hip Hop.
KRS is possibly the person (living) I respect most,,, but in this talk he said one thing that is blatantly untrue,, 'I cannot inspire... catholics, atheists... etc." Well there is no limits on who he can inspire, I dont share his beliefs but I do respect him for his beliefsm and that is inspiring. Peace!
I Have nothing but the up most respect for KRS1..been a fan of his since 1993 and his Vocabulary is nothing but Harvard, YALE, Material..I do not want to justify myself in being a Beget when it comes to hip-hop and the communication level of alot of artist out there..but KRS1 has been holding it down ever since!! MUCH LOVE...he can talk himself out of anything!!!
It's amazing how a movie bio of Biggie has been made yet not one for this cat. Kris' personal biography might be the single most compelling story of any emcee in rap history. When you know it it becomes apparent who the games greatest emcee is(as well as one of the most underrated/innovative producers).
Wow I was definitely amazed, enlightened and inspired thank u KRS-ONE I am truly in awe of your words. He is beyond hip hop to me an incredible human being.

LMAO Kris was soaking in hip hop culture at its genesis as a homeless youth when NYC was still the scariest place in America.You know,back around the time Pac was still learning ballet.
yioo who ever likes this...get the book,...the gospel of hip hop..first instrument...eye opening literature krs one is the messiah of hip hop..he has been put on this earth to show us the way ppl
I really hope, some day, some billionaire, will give millions of dollars to KRS, so he could start using his ideas, and change things in ghettos, spread the word about real Hip hop culture, it could be huge for young generations, if only guys like him would have tools to reach almost anyone. Politics never understood that guys like him could do so many good things, and turn things around, but i'm afraid it might be too late, or it will simply never happen...
Skeptical of his philosophy, but these techniques are well established facts. What you project yourself to be mentally is what defines you. Focus and discipline refines that system, good ethics purifies it and hard work sustains it.
HIPHOP'S TEACHA,..ON LIFE......WORD... SPIRITUAL MINDED,A LOT OF PEOPLE BIN BLINDED..... LOOKING FOR A STYLE LIKE KRSONE,......YOU CAN'T FINDED..... SO SEEK IT 4 YA SELFS..... PEACE & LOVE...
KRS 1,2,3 four and five that's what he is...a smart dude yo...and u may thing he is crazy but its just the way it is...everything he says is right when u start thinking...He should be the president for sure...KRS-one for president!!! even if im not from USA but i ll voe for ya :P
i was about to say they should make this one of those featured videos as soon as you enter the site but theres a reason we watched this. we didnt just jump da cpu n say "im bout to watch KRS1 Talk on Hip Hop and the Role of the MC." wether u were just browsing youtube, sumbody told you about it or lookn for a krs1 track there was a reason for it. lollipop has over 1m n views vs 3,293not everybody will need or get to c this, cuz either they lack patience, intelligence or wasn't supposed to c this
KRS is the man. I don't know why but I could listen to him talk about something all day. He can really capture a crowd.
My friend, you are so correct. It's artists like Kris that kept the standard high for MCing. He was the guy that nobody dared cross out of respect. The Teacha could shine a penetrating light on Hip Hop in any place, at any time, putting perpetrators on blast. Much respect for such an accurate observation. Peace.
GOAT, and not just because of his bars, its because he's POSITIVE and knows a lot.
Man KR is the realest dude in hip hop....Intelligent and on point.
I can Identify with everything Krs-One is saying. I was there and was a part of the Hip Hop Nation since 1979. Much props, much love, much respect for all true Hip Hoppers. Peace 2 Afrikaa Bambaataa and the Zulu Nation.
we are ancestors. Damn KRS just changed my way of thinking. thanks for posting this.
pure wisdom, hip hop is life and this gentleman was steeped in it and we all are blessed that he shares his knowledge like this.
"those who chase the world, they never last"......truth right there
I like the fact that he keep sharing his knowledge with us. God bless him!
I understand that sentiment(especially if the movie were to come out of one of the major corporate studios).
The point is that Kris is a living legend whose stature and life story is extremely underappreciated,even by many who claim to love hardcore hip hop and its history.
Truely amazing he is the TEACHER. Mind opening man Knowledge Reigns Supreme over nearly everybody.
love hearing him talk.
everyone needs to listen to KRS's message. not just everyone in hip hop - every individual on this planet needs to take heed and hear his words.
Thanks for putting this up!!!!!
The truth period! I saw him on my birthday @ the Fox in Detroit May 3, 2008! The best birthday I had since I was a kid! Made me feel young again man!

This guy is a genius... glad i.m not overlooking him like many are.

KRS is possibly the person (living) I respect most,,, but in this talk he said one thing that is blatantly untrue,,
'I cannot inspire... catholics, atheists... etc."
Well there is no limits on who he can inspire, I dont share his beliefs but I do respect him for his beliefsm and that is inspiring.
Peace!

Not crazy, just being himself. He is at best eccentric in how he speaks his mind, but that just shows his complex nature of a being a leader.

I really hope, some day, some billionaire, will give millions of dollars to KRS, so he could start using his ideas, and change things in ghettos, spread the word about real Hip hop culture, it could be huge for young generations, if only guys like him would have tools to reach almost anyone. Politics never understood that guys like him could do so many good things, and turn things around, but i'm afraid it might be too late, or it will simply never happen...
