    Lyrics:
    Let us begin, what, where, why or when
    Will all be explained like instructions to a game
    See I'm not insane, in fact I'm kind of rational
    When I be asking you, "Who is more dramatical?"
    This one or that one, the white one or the black one
    Pick the punk and I'll jump up to attack one

If you check out Melle Mel, Grandmaster Flash...I mean, anything from the early to mid 80s, it was free of cursing, drugs, killing and (mostly) disrespecting women. I have one track in mind which was not free of the last one. But before Gangster Rap became dominant, it was all pretty chill and mostly bragging.

      Meh. Hip hop never really lost its meaning. There were weak mc's then too, and a lot of them found success. If its not true, enlighten me, why is so much of the old school material like this centered on dissing whack MC's? There have always been clowns in it for the money, there have always been talented mcs who spit because they love it, and there have always been mcs that have their ups, downs and different phases. All of these exist today.

      Computer Djs ruined the set. They had no idea how to work the mic/music volume, kept scratching over KRS1's lyrics, started taking selfies while he was MCing and were dancing around like they were the star of the show. KRS1 pretty much had them lower their music so it could barely be heard. It was very disrespectful to this hip-hop godfather. KRS1's lyrics, flow and freestyle was dope though.

Definitely thought it was dumb when the guy was dancing with his phone out when he was just getting yelled at a minute before lol, but I thought it added a really funny aspect to the show. I can of course see your perspective, if it was a craft i knew the ins and outs of i probably would not have been as amused. just goes to show though that KRS-One could have any chump behind him and still rock the house and make everyone happy just by his own skill.
