"I am Hip-Hop"... KRS might be the only artist in the industry who can say that and it is actually true.

Thanks for entertaining and enlightening me for 20 years, Teacha.

Peace.

I’m not gonna call no names but I called everybody to come out, conscious rappers included. You know what the conscious community said? “Oh KRS again, stop the violence, he needs to just retire, why is he still rhyming?” But the thugs, the gangsters, the pimps and the hoes are putting real money down, real rhyme skills down, and are showing up.”

one min your telling nas thats he is gods son and talking about how bad the media (fox news) rep black people but then u get on rap city and play nice nice with 50 cent ..damn dawg i really looked up to u but seems to me somebodys playing both sides

Damn! I thought this would be some usual self professing, but he is THE TEACHER for a reason. I've met him on a few occasions, performed with and sat in the presence of.. and Im on a path myself and aint never been awe struck by any man, but KRS commands audiences (stage and otherwise, large and small). He was definetly blessed to do this.

And although Im stuck on the KRS music that I grew up with as opposed to recent works, he is and always will be one of the most relevant and accomplished men in the trade of rhyme. As a youth I went to see him perform at the famed Apollo theatre with ShineHead. I dont recall the ride to or from the show, but I know that I was impacted from the first time I used to dis him when South Bronx came out (and Im from the Bronx), but back then, MC Shan was the man... but The Bridge Is Over changed my opinion forever and here I am almost 20 years later still singing the praises of One of my Teachers... Thank you for it all... Knowledge Reins Supreme Over Nearly Everyone til this day.

I can dig KRS. "By Any Means Necessary" was one of the 1st records I was attached too. That shit was hot.

People be talkin bout Rakim and what he brought to the game, but this nigga right here...brought a educated "gangster's thought" to the table.

He dropped some life jewels in this interview.

shani — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 22:16:57 GMT

Maybe KRS means well but the problem with using the "thugs""gangsters" "pimps" and "ho" rappers he is allying with people who have no credibility and credibility is important -something we ignore these days because entertainment has become God.

You need to ally to people who have made a commitment to a set of principles. Without that you just have artists doing one positive song who benefit with the good publicity but then they go right back doing what they always did because it sells 10 more songs with the opposite message.

And just because an artists has the right message they might be a terrible rapper and a great sounding rapper might have a terrible message. That's why we should stop expecting Hip Hop to replace Martin , Malcom and Marcus.

The problem is expecting Hip Hop to solve social problems. Stop selling us that. No KRS Hip Hop is not a religion. Black people have other music besides Hip Hop that might help a social movement along but none of this music is a movement in itself. To think so is to live in a mystical fantasy world.

Talk is cheap. To build a movement you need a group of people who are committed to a core set of principles.

And to make a statement in music you need a whole album of songs not just one. There's no depth if you just put at these one shot we are the world type collaborations. That's got a nice community feel about it, but it's easier for a thug or a gangster artist to be on a track with ten other artists than to do a whole track themselves.

I challenge KRS One to make an album against where artists do whole songs by themselves. Contributing a few bars here and there doesn't amount to much. Even artists like Tupac who did some deep and conscious songs also did a lot more reckless ones and look where that ultimately led.

If there was a whole Stop the Violence album that would be deeper than just one song with ten people on it.
But the thing is if you get on the deeper level you're going to run into the issue of drug dealing where a lot of this violence stems from.
Back in the day it wasn't a big deal to say crack is wack.
But you know. Hip Hop has taken Black people backwards nobody wants to touch the drug game these days.
You want to be controversial try and say "Stop The Drug Dealing".
In 1988 it wasn't such a big deal and mainstream rappers said stuff like that occasionally. Try that now. The drug dealers have taken over. That's most of your violence right there.

It just wouldn't be civilized (human) if I didn't take a moment to pay homage to, as Chuck D would say, "the most feared MC" in the game (I think that's what he said). I appreciate the many timeless pieces of KRS-One's lyricism, content and many bangers he's produced and also of his activism. The last album I got that was a banger to me was "Kristyles". KRS is his own man and as an artist he has the right to put out what he feels is true to him, buuuut I always hoped he would balance his lyricism with more bangin' beats and melodic music that would get more attention on him in this ever which way is up hip-hop game (lol). I didn't even know he had another album out and I try to keep up with what he's up to on the hip-hop sites and magazines. I guess it just goes to show how under the radar he is to many-a-folk (lol). Hopefully Maximum Strength is just that. Oh, this would be the year of the 20th anniversary of the release of his second album under Boogie Down Productions,
"By All Means Necessary". It seems rather prophetic don't y'all think? (lol)

What I don't understand is people always say older rappers should retire, leave it to the young guys. You have to remember it's their art. There is no rule that states rapping stops at a certain age. There is no other Genre of music where a age limit is set. No one is telling BB King to retire, No one is telling the rolling stones to retires. It's there craft!! Let them do their job!!
