Why doesn’t KRS One get the respect he deserves

[ill nik-A]

He started battle rap
He is a pioneer
Has a great album collection from BDP to his solo stuff in the 90s, return of the boom bap was insane


Maybe y’all too young

[Warthog Lite]

Because he doesn't need that title, he knows he is the best and is fine with no one putting it on blast.

The real ones know though.

[Geno]

I think hes wack lyrically
Technically hes dope and got a raw voice. But nahhh

[Geno]

Maybe i havnt listened to enough

[Warthog Lite]

That's interesting...

Do you think 2Pac was lyrical? jw

[Warthog Lite]

And if you know or think you haven't heard enough why would you go so far to say he is "wack"?

[Geno]

That's interesting...

Do you think 2Pac was lyrical? jw

Tupac was very lyrical.. Wtf

[Inno]

Because he comes off as bitter and spiteful?

Plus these kids don't give a fuck about krs 1
And I mean sure he hates that which probably contributes
To his holier thou attitude.

Plus this nigga always preaching da fuck?

Cause nothing ive heard did i like accept his sound.

[uh-oh]

i look at krs like i look at marley marl.

he laid the blueprints others took to the next level. marley took sampling and hip hop production to basically modern shit. custom individual drum shots, the arrangements etc. pete rock and premier and everyone basically used his methods and made way doper beats than marley ever made. but without marley they ain't shit.

without krs any number of rappers ain't shit

it ain't to say that someone else wouldn't have come along and figured out what they did for hip hop respectively. but they figured out their lanes and laid the true groundwork that everyone that gets all the props prospers from

[Warthog Lite]

But what about compared to, uh lets say crooked I?

Or idk Eminem? Some do say that Pac wasn't as lyrical when you take into consideration new complex rhyme schemes that have been morphed.

Not really my opinion just saying I see their point in that instance.

But this is about krs 1. Ever go listen to the real blueprint when nas but jigga on blast? I knew about before that but most people don't know and still haven't listened to it.

[Amen]

This.

MAN krs started what Tupac did lol. Rhyming about what life was. No metaphor needed just realness

Lol at the disrespect

[Mr. J]

KRS-One is just the guy to lead a crew
Right up to your face and diss you

He’s past that now, he’s just trying to help the black youth, whatever I respect it but A’s an artist he is the blueprint to everything!

[Destroyer]

Ladi dadi I don’t wear Versace

[Finnydot]

"Nelly dissing KRS, we need to stop him
What's next? Beyonce battling Rakim?"

Chino-XL

Some people just don't understand or even care to. The thing that kills me is people thinking he's just some preaching ass dude. When BDP came out, KRS was thugged out. On some military shit talking about fuckin up the police and shit. He went preachy when he went solo. Old BDP is that shit tho.

[Ghost1]

Uh oh covered it

[trapezoidal]

This album still stands the test of time;

Tell u what..
Im at work atm.. But this weekend ill get more hip to krs one and lyk..
I was to occupied with the rakims to be worried bout a krs1 tbh. I go where my taste lyes. Doesnt mean krs aint a good rapper. I just prefer others so never rly toom the time to give a fuck about him.

[Warthog Lite]

I can understand that, just want you to retract your earlier statement of him being wack.

[dead man]

9mm is the shit tho

[Schadenfreude]

Respect him as a pioneer & for the Culture, but pass that I always felt he was boring.

Plus this whole time he's been defending Afrika Bambaataa..smh. Dude WTF is that!?!

[WRATH]

I'll just say he's before my time
