- www.vladtv.com - KRS-One dropped knowledge on the culture of Hip-Hop in this interview with Jonathan Gasana.
He dove into the deep history that played a great role in the development of the internationally popular musical genre and cultural practice, dating back to the days of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. KRS explained how White America has always been in control of governing Black people's freedoms, and that even though Barack Obama is the current President of the United States, it wasn't Black people who got him voted into office.
He also clarified the distinct difference between Black men and Black boys, who exist within the Hip Hop culture. According to KRS-One, there are no real men in mainstream Hip Hop, and that every rapper involved is only a man stuck in the mindframe of a "little boy." He credited the culture for being heavily influenced by women, and explained how 90% of the rappers who came up from 1981-1991, "The Golden Age of Hip Hop," were raised by single mothers.
Do you agree with KRS-One's views on the lack of real "men" in mainstream Hip-Hop?

Met him and his wife years ago at the edgemar in Santa Monica. Dude talked to me for almost 3 hour's. That conversation put me on a path I am still on. Him and his wife.
Fuck mate that is awesome. So awesome
Wow incredible
That's dope.
KRS One is so educated. Every interview I see of his I watch.
You are one lucky son of gun..good on you for taking what you heard from KRS and running with it..So dope.
Just listening to him put me on the right path
“A man who lacks purpose distracts himself with pleasure.”
I needed to see/hear this again. It is so easy to forget this and a real shame to never realise it.
Ty
@Aristides Gonzalez see if you feel the same way afters 5 years of seeking pleasure.
@Aristides Gonzalez nothing's wrong with pleasure you're getting the wrong idea. It's about BALANCE
Powerful statement! 💯💣✊
@Aristides Gonzalez seethe more hedonist
5 years later and this is more true than ever
Facts!!!!!!
Yes not just in the hip hop community but in real life marriage and careers I think when more people realize that society will function much better
absolutely
Doesn't KRS one hang out with a child predator
@@SamaelMoneyStein No he does not.I grew up listening to Krs-One,D-Nice,Special Ed etc if you are referring to Afrika Baambata..he sung "Planet Rock".He is the one who supposedly did that...They settled out of court....Krs-One had no part of that...Are all your friends perfect no so Stfu!!!!!!!
I thought I was gonna learn about rap and hip-hop. Instead I got arguably the realest advice on being a man.
exactly bro
Ahhhh but you got exactly what you came for.
And that's hip hop
Wow what a lyrical thread.
You got what the universe knows you needed.
“The freedom movement doesn’t have a color on it” beautiful. I felt chills. I love this man.

KRS One needs a podcast. I want to listen to his advice on everything, everyday. So much wisdom in this clip and I learned many things.

I heard this man flow about real issues 30 years ago. He disappeared from the mainstream because he's was in the people's corner. Not black, not white, yellow, brown, square, or round. I have always had a special place for KRS in my heart. Bless you my fine fellow

Truth is a language that a lot of humans do not understand these days I guess.
Love krs1. I'm sounding the alarm. Supply and demand, tuition costs have risen even though College attendance has skyrocketed. You would think that the more books they order the cheaper they would , indeed it's quite the opposite because they want to keep the masses dumbed-down which only inevitably hurts them. that's why I believe when the family of original Reddit Creator claims that elements within the government have had him murdered because he was trying to release open domain documents all on one searchable website without the need to know the specific Case Files for free which had never been done before. and drawing lines from climate change denial and those who funded it. With that as well as the Gulf of Tonkin, Iran-Contra, MK Ultra, the Bay of Pigs, the memo to have terrorist attacks carried out by us to be blamed on Cuba all of which have been Declassified document proof that the government would lie to us and could possibly have elements working for an unknown agenda. Possibly a leftover from Operation Paperclip. how can we become so far behind, nearly last in education. do you win saying one of our Wars is unethical or that they said we had to leave and we're not listening to it, we're not adhering to nuclear regulation. Trying to harsh on Iran saying they're hiding s*** when we won't even sign the agreement or ratify it rather last and trying to keep up with China and Russia. the internets boy. Couldn't smear him so they Epstein the f out of him for tracing climate change denial funding. Remember Gulf of Tonkin and all the people who died in Vietnam because of this lie, Iran-Contra and all the negative images people associated with the devastation of the African-American community, remember MK Ultra where they didn't give a fuk about anybody. 20 years in a war that the United Nations says is against some treaty that we signed
They want us to think that they stole the Revolution but people are just As fed up with the lies. Watch foreign news coverage of America to get a relatively unbiased picture. Watch Australian 4 corners. They show people talking tacticly. Iran-Contra flooded America streets only hitting black neighborhoods Which would cause a rift between the African American and white neighborhoods & divide a nations people. The gulf of tonkin(lie that got America in Vietnam war). Cia memo suggested attacks on America to be blamed om Cuba... 20 years of war, why? UN says against rules of engagement. Why don't our students who think they're protecting our country& end up serving a dark unknown reason? Tell everyone! Look it up!! Mk ultra, operation paperclip.we already have a fully automated Greenhouse for growing crops using Hydroponics Robotics and 3D lasers where they can plant the seed germinated transfer feed it and water it with exact nutrients which would eliminate pesticide runoff and River pollution.using less land, tapping into the water table and the indoor climate controlled environment would allow 365 24/7 groom farming conditions and we also wouldn't have so much wasted water pumped up from the water table, and when the water table get slower there's less water pressure on those Caverns and when we pump out so much the fissures and cracks in Earth's crust causing earthquakes and for earthquake-prone environments that's a good thing. we just need to have a peaceful demonstration that were over it, having a prerequisite, denouncing any violence taking place before the demonstration across the world. Sounds good to me as long as people aren't stupid or cause violence
😂😂💯
perfect comment
Not only is this man one of the most socially aware figures in America never mind hip-hop, he's so goddam intelligent, charismatic and funny. I've never seen a person radiate pure charm like KRS does, how can you dislike this man?
There will never be a hip-hop artist that is more genuine and authentic than KRS. I hope I will meet him one day because he made me completely re-think how I view hip-hop and I love him for that.
He speaks just like he feels...just like he does...just like he lives...much respect KRS- One
Lol he excused multiple credible pedophilia accusations against his friend and basically said that some rappers should be able to fuck kids if they want because of who they are.
"Socially aware"
If KRS-One taught a college course on the history of Hip-Hop, I would sign up.
I mean yea.. he was there for the beginning of it. He helped invent it. When he did it, it was like an extension of blues and jazz. The evolution. Obviously now a lot of it has turned into pop music basically.. but yea, I like to think of hip-hop in its truest form as an extension of blues and jazz.

That was easily one of the most fascinating talks I’ve ever heard; far more interesting, edifying and insightful than any TED talk I ever heard!

That’s because Ted talks put out what they want. Still belittling mankind but with a little entertainment and interests to reel you in.

“Truth will hold up” statement of the century.
Word up man
This should be played on every Hip-Hop station. idgaf if its 19 mins long. People need to hear this and "wise up so we can all rise up" - The Pharcyde
facts
its unfortunate but things won't change for a decade at least. what KRS is saying has been a way of thinking for a long time. People want segregation. They want to talk about and glorify the negative things. I hope people wake up soon
I AGREE
Yeah so why not our brown brothers n sisters fight for sovereignty instead of rights? My understanding is when these Caucasians see that we're not attacking but defending ourselves without violence or malice. They we want nothing to do with their communities, therefore becoming what WE choose to be as a nation in this dark world that is mainly owned by "boys" as KRS1 said.
It should be on the 6:00 news!!! EVERY radio station should play this twice a day! Not only AA folk but every race and creed needs to hear this!
KRS is incredibly articulate, never stutters or uses filler words such as “like, ya know, feel me” a man who speaks with confidence knowing he has thought twice before the words even leave his mouth
My son stutters, it's not a sign of being unintelligent or weak minded.
Not sure what happened to your reply back to me, I can only see it in my notifications. I took what you said to be a statement about people in general. Maybe I'm sensitive, this is why I didn't attack you and just said what I said..
A mental turn on. I say that with respect ❤️
Word I noticed how well he speaks too.
@@lucky5th2 your son may stutter, but he does not lack intelligence. Your son may grow to become one of the leaders of us. His stuttering will be a way for us to recognize his message in the future. One.
Can’t believe this video is 5 years old.. We need KRS 1 back with the wisdom and knowledge!
With everything going on these days you are soo RIGHT!!...like the world could honestly use some of this OG's knowledge and spread it around because he is most definitely in the RIGHT state of mind people could use it 💯🙏
kiddo 3p catch tf up facts! This man was born to open the eyes of the people

Shut the fuck up you're saying that for all the wrong reasons.

stfu
but jamar makes me giggle n smile,. lol.
They're both intelligent in their own right, to only listen to KRS-One and not Lord Jamar is eliminating potential knowledge you could gain but if thats your choice, then go ahead.
It’s no coincidence the most popular rappers have “Baby” or “Lil” in their names. I been saying this for a min but KRS just confirmed it. They wanna promote immaturity among black men.
lil baby doesnt promote immaturity
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Not even just immaturity just derail us in a whole, they promote men in dresses to destroy masculinity it’s crazyy
@@ceelife360nyc6 ok but if youve listened to any of his music he rlly doesnt. u can use that argument against rappers like lil uzi or young thug but not lil baby
“They” didn’t choose those monikers. The guys with them did.

@@hannablethuhprince7528 he definitely needs to expose what Africa Bambada stood for thoroughly,
@@Swissco9665 is ooii
I agree with KRS - all these issues today - racism, "toxic masculinity", sexism....it's all really just immaturity.
@Daniel Grozier Because we were told that as men we weren't in touch with our feelings,so to prove we were ,we gave in to things we used to stand firm on. Now everyone's fragile and no one's firm we're soft like clay and you can shape soft clay into anything you want.
We are all more easily controlled that way. They want us constantly fighting , divided and angry, yet weak. I’m honestly scared for my kids futures when I see people of today getting so worked up and attacking one another all because of things they heard on cable news. Especially when cable news has such a shady history of lying to us
How does immaturity explain the Jews then, huh?
@Daniel Grozier you think victim hood is something new? It's been this way since the beginning of times
The problem today is that ppl still say "black ppl and white ppl" instead of just ppl
As a hip hop artist myself, This has to be the most eye opening video I’ve seen in a while, and I’m glad I found it
I agree with you brother, I’m tuned in 🧿🤟🏾

@Djasko M The sign of the horns as related to music (specifically metal) was actually initially started to ward off evil. There are different opinions on this, with some saying that different musicians may have done it before Ronnie James Dio, but Dio said it was a sign that his grandmother in Italy used to defend against evil. Of course nowadays the original intent has been forgotten and people often associate that sign with the devil, but it's actually meant to protect against the devil. People from all walks have co-opted the sign...from politicians to Britney Spears. In terms of rebellion or revolution, the beauty of art is in the eye of the beholder...but, in terms of music (specifically as in instrumentation and musical skill), I challenge anyone to show me more revolutionary music than Slam Metal, Brutal Death Metal, Goregrind, Deathcore, etc. Just check out these cuts: Cryogenic Defilement "Uterine Intercourse" or Abominable Putridity "Remnants of the Tortured" or a couple tracks from Lust of Decay "Embryonic Breeding for Cannibalistic Devourment" and "Scarification". Also, in terms of beats, check out the drum playthrough video for Infant Annihilator "Cuntcrusher"...as a drummer, metal has always blown me away with how it evolves. The speed, power, might, brilliance, and over-the-top brutality. It's life-changing.
@Djasko M except that I hate the system and I'm giving praise to the "opposition". I like metal mainly for the musical technique, I like to listen to KRS1 speak because he's brilliant.
@Djasko M I just like metal for the musical ability, I don't dislike Christians. I know what you're talking about. I'm not plugged into the matrix anymore.
This man could change the world if given the platform. I unfortunately had not heard of him until a video of his went viral a few months ago, but maybe that is by design. He is amazing!! He captivates you with everything he is.

The right platform? He has videos all over the internet! I have seen cat videos get more views than him. People don't want to hear this stuff.

Back in the day KRS ONE was doing lectures in New York at Universities. Very intelligent brotha. He never got his true due respect on the world stage.

Sounds like he's defending his contribution to hip-hop in worries people will try to say something about the culture as a whole. Doesn't seem like he's defending the guy's actions.

At least he can be disagreed with, alot of people can not handle the opinions of others lately.

One of his lines I always remembered from one of his songs was, "I never said I was #1, oops I'm sorry I lied- I'm #1, 2, 3, 4 and 5".
@g00gleyes go check out BDP's "My Philosophy"...KRS-1 was teaching us way back in the late 80s...a true Hip-Hop pioneer & connoisseur.
“I stand for humanity 1st” y’all didn’t really get that👌🏽
I got that. And being all that analysis.
I did, I'm 42, I'm the creator of my understanding's creation, human second, son of my beautiful parents third, Ecuadorian fourth and self-evolved person fifth, I've had this understanding since I was a little boy because my parents raised me in the light of love, education, respect and the virtues necessary in life: patience, endurance, pragmatism, brutality of truth, silence when necessary, peace when deserved, war when all else has been depleted til the point of self-hatred, peace to all, ONE LOVE.
We’re all gods just in different bodies living in different of way’s our life. Gods first then human
Thens whatever race but no race is superior or inferior these stereotypes brainwashed to believe we’re different but we not
You didnt really get that huh
White people were at the forefront of black freedom? I love how he's acting as if white people only giving black people their civil rights 50 or so years ago is something they should be proud of. That America releasing *humans* from slavery was something monumental. I get the premise to his points, but sometimes he talks garbage, and people just lap it up, simply because It "sounds intelligent". Black people were at the forefront of their own freedom, so take a seat.
Was there a nationwide slave revolt that ended slavery that we didn't hear about?
SpiderLN but you will praise all of the black freedom fighters and happily overlook and forget the white ones because there was probably some secret agenda anyway, right?. I have never seen anything like the stupidity that goes on in racial debates and arguments in these times, it's like blacks want white ppl to say here you go, we'll be your slaves for a few centuries, will that make up for everything. Blacks aint gonna get no payback and they shouldn't either because 95% of whites in todays society have nothing to do with what happened during those times, they need to stop using their forefathers suffering as an excuse for them to do nothing but complain about racism in every situation, the slaves from them days would be ashamed of todays blacks who like to play victim but know nothing of real suffering.
***** and you act like just because the people doing the oppressing were white that this is a birth born blueprint of how whites think and act in general, because generalising a whole race by assumption has never caused problems before lol . There were black people oppressing, torturing and enslaving their own people before they even saw a white man, it's like you think there are no sadistic, power hungry, ego powered black people in the world and that these are purely white traits which is completely ridiculous, whites get most of the flack because they always ended up in the privileged boss position instead of the slaves. I'm saying blacks now days try to claim their forefathers suffering as their own and act as if they were on a plantation themselves so they can play victim and get a free easy pass in life while claiming that everything that goes wrong in their life is because of prejudiced views. Instead of learning from from what happened to older black generations so they could preach equality and fairness it's like blacks want to be in the position that white were in but with whites as their slaves when this is exactly what they blame them for, it's a revolving door of stupidity. People are people individually with their own views, opinions, flaws and good traits. A person from every race can be righteous and kind while a person from the same race can be sadistic and evil.
KRS-One just tells the FULL STORY something that Some Blacks and Whites don't do. Some Whites will tell you "Abraham Lincoln Freed The Slaves" and Some Black Folks will say "We Freed Ourselves"...Yes & No on both sides. While yes it was people Nat Turner and Harriet Tubman who stories we already know, it was also People like John Brown A White Abolitionist, Levi and Catharine Coffin, Rev. John and Jean Rankin just to name a few who put their lives on the Line as well to help Free Slaves. So lets not be like our Oppressors and try to leave them out of our History much like they leave us our of their History. Yes it was Whites who played a Role in Blacks getting their Freedom even if you want to call it a small one, it still existed!
A white president abolished slavery. Also a black man was the first slave owner.
Good grief! ....
I am 7 years late! How did I miss this interview back then? What an interesting, fulfilling 👁️ opening interview...KRS-1. He is legendary in his own right, well seasoned, well educated, well articulated! You got to love this man.... keeping it 💯%.
Surely speaking TRUTH as usual!.....
👑👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👑
I could listen to this dude talk for hours
I already do
which is usually not a feature of teachers ;)
Just Some Clown Not me
we got to protect KRS1... thank you for the edutainment!
@ayylmao PROOF PLEASE
@ayylmao WILL DO

Why so many dislikes? I guess it’s from “boys”
*liberals
lol what’s wrong with people disliking it?
Because boys and girls don’t like to hear the truth
Period!!!
lez0n lol the man literally said in the video that real hip hop is questioning everything but you’re sitting on the side of nope this %100 truth don’t ask any questions
This is the first time I’ve ever commented on a video and barring the fact that as a white middle aged man KRS 1 has always earned my respect I have to say that the worlds need to listen. No more bullshit. I wept and was floored by what he had to say and I think THIS should be curriculum around the world. Love
White middle aged man named sara??
Yeah its impossible to watch TH-cam on someone's else's account. I'm a female and I'm watching on my boyfriend's account right now.
I've looked up to KRS One since I was a teenager. I'm 33 years old now and he still hasn't let me down.
Who else on KRS binge watching mode?
Red Herring Im about to be. This man speaks truth
Mumia Abu Jamal's stuff is good too!
Right here...on my binge. Krs speaking the truth!
Red Herring he stay blowin my mind. Watch the video where he explains what “consciousness” is....🤯
Well damn.... I am
God Bless you and your family KRS-1. So good to see someone speak the truth!
I was blessed to grow up around many of hip hop's pioneers & early succesful artists,but KRS 1 has always been the culture's best representative. We had many real MEN like him come up in the BX!
Agreed. Don’t forget 2pac & Chuck D. To match😊
KRS is by the far the most intelligent MC in hip hop history. I agree 100%
Lupe is pretty enlightened
Felix Erazo if not...
he definitely is what of bro...
i agree
Immortal Technique is up there with him, I would love to listen to them have a discussion
Felix Erazo ? He is really intelligent however Rza, Gza, Mos Def, David Banner, lil bootsy , Jeru da Damaja and hella others
@@MrJecossey Thank You for mentioning Mo's Def.
That's the energy we need in this world

This is the reason Im taking more time to put more substance love and passion in my music. As a artist I stand for the woke community, and it's time for real men music, real spiritual healing, and financial education. My gift from YAH is music and as well as my passion for using it to get my voice heard. So I will push myself in these next 3weeks to finish up (State mof the district) Professionally...
Can you share the link to your music
Good luck with that bro
What platforms you on bro
Big difference between being awake and being woke.
KRS-One's message should be spread far and wide.
@Flowzah obviously :p
Damn, this is so freaking true! Respect from Russia to all who share similar mindset. Peace and love, brothers!:)
Da
Spoziba, Komrade
I'm From South Africa much love my Russian brother

mir to you my Russian brother

And this is why I don't let rappers lead me anywhere now.
Am I the only one that thinks this guy is a nut job and devil worshiper confusing the simple minded in our race and for some reason I don't trust him when it comes to children
@@TYREEKPOOLE-ju5mx the fact that u heard his whole lecture and your first thought amd label on him is "devil worshiper", then your eyes and ears are clearly clouded by judgment from the church
Mohamed Hussein u sleep
BIGTYMECOLLECTIBLES INC like the Democratic Party wasn’t created by the kkk. Hussein has it all completely backwards 💯. I can’t take foreigners seriously anyways. English obviously isn’t his first language and so his opinion about American politics is literally irrelevant and void. Period.
Now?
Don’t forget that KRS was saying people shouldn’t call out Afrika Bambaata for touching little boys because he’s “a legend” or some shit like that. Just gotta mention that bc people love acting like just cause someone’s an OG in rap that it means they’re right about every single damn thing they talk about. Not even saying that I disagree with anything he said in this video I just hate how no one calls KRS out for literally defending a proven child predator just cause he was one of the originators of hip hop
Did you check your sources?, did you actually listen to what he said?, or are you hearing what you want to hear?, or worse, what someone else wants you to hear? because I actually listen to what he said, and he said none of that
The world needs more KRS One
True facts .,I met him in real life and he opened my eyes .25 yrs ago .
wow🙌🏼 so lucky and blessed🙇🏻♀️
@@kleaaaaaa thanks he's cool .💚
I'm actually almost 40 lol
And u are beautiful
@Phuhk Ahf Lmao, that’s exactly what I was thinking when I saw her picture. I was like, wtf?! Home girl can’t be more than twenty something years old, looking like she’s still in college.
I didn’t know KRS was this articulate about hiphop and cultural movements! Respect! 💯
“The deepest part of being black is being African
The deepest part of being African is being human

Ya we watched the same video as you. we know what he said.
EclipseDawn 9 God is the creator there is no other
@Flowzah can you prove that? I thought not.
Flowzah he was talking bout being God-like. The characteristics, ignant
That part kinda lost me. Being human has nothing to do with color or nationality. Being human does not make you god.
Krs is one of the most articulate people in America right now.
Not really
Lol
@@mightyraccoon7155 your an idiot. Krs thinks your an idiot too just so you know.
You really need to expand your horizon if you think that's even remotely true...
@@LUImusic856 you just proved how much of an idiot you truly are. Don't know how to use *you're correctly. Moron.
I’m 14 and I learned a lot after watching this video thanks Chris. Hip hop legend
Never stop learning and listening to everyone brother. I'm 40 and the best thing my dad ever said to me was "boy, even the dumbest person can teach you something so always give them a chance and learn"
"and i know because of KRS-One. yeah and i know. and i know because of KRS-One. because he is droppin', droppin', droppin science, droppin' history with a whole leap of style and intelligency. yes i know because of KRS-One" Sublime 1992
But let’s make the distinction. Did you only know of KRS one from sublime?
no i knew of KRS-one because of his music. my older brother got a copy of criminal minded back in 87 or 88.
Ohgood cuz i did 🃏
I'm glad Vlad interviews KRS and Jamar. They always spreading
Knowledge .
This interview is from a few years ago. Its already on youtube in full.
Tetsuo Shima I ain't about to try and prove it. I said what I said. Take it or leave it.
Bee Cott i understand you, im glad vlad posted it too.
Not only is this not his video, but he did cut out just a piece from it. And this seems to be a piece of it, that would cause controversy.
***** I agree, that this interview took place YEARS AGO (2013 to be exact). But at the same time, there's numerous people and/or websites, that reposting this video (most of them #InGeneral are mistaken, that DJ Vlad interviewed KRS-One).
Peep the following article...
It starts with the following title: KRS-One Says He Can't Make Money In The U.S. Due To Lack Of Respect For Hip Hop
[Monday February 02, 2015 at 09:00AM PST]
AND, that same article ends with: "KRS-One’s interview with Vlad TV can be found below."

(I'm #JustSaying bruh)
Nothin ' more - Nothin ' less. ;-)
This man is full of knowledge, must be the most intelligent living hip hop icon.
Knowledge Reigns Supreme!
He recognizes truth, then speaks it. We needs more people like KRS One
He’s morally corrupt. Supporting pedos and has a song bragging about being one himself. Look up “13 and good”
That's only cause Pac ain't no longer here!!!
KRS is such an amazing human, very connected to the source. Always refreshing to see positive masculinity. Thanks for this.
This Brother is buy far one of the best things that happened to our culture. Take head to realness.
"I want the guy with the carr" 🤣 Made me laugh, because it's so true. A lot of people are materialistic, not caring about the wellbeing of one another & what's beyond our physical appearance & social status.
Freedom and masculinity. Good values can make a man wise.

"I stand for humanity first" 💞🌍
Best thing I ever heard
Really tho
Literally Andrew Yang’s slogan
Super knowledge!
Thank you very much for the video!
"Truth will hold up...I always invite questions." Real strength and belief
Imagine being on that thumbs down side. this man's just gave you wisdom, and you couldn't handle truth. sad
Probably because he defended a sexual predator
People unfortunately prefer comforting lies over uncomfortable truths.
Wisdom? Everything that guy says I knew already. It's as if he says " look, roses are red " and a million people are immediately in awe because KRS said so. He just has a nice way of saying it. I rather hear MC Shan talk, that guy sounds a million times more real then KRS.
@@creechvideos I love Shan but let's keep things real. Krs ain't nicknamed the teacha for nothing. This guy is probably the most intelligent in Hip Hop. Knowledge Reigns Supreme.
Probably because he started to call hisself the Teacher? And being slick is not the same as being intelligent. Having a way with words, knowing how to reach people, yes they are some good skills to have, but it doesnt mean you know everything. KRS One, at least to me, just comes across as a cocky and annoying know-it-all.
