[thespecialguy12]

To all of My Hip Hop brothers and sisters...Love Peace and Unity...as a B-Boy im doing the best i can right now to spread the knowledge and i hope u do that also too

[DjUncleTone]

EACH 1 TEACH 1! BDP 4 LIFE!

[ProfessionalBboys]

I respect KRS ONE; However, Breakin' evolved from a dance called ROCKIN' which was done to Funk music in the 1960s-1970s... It did not come from Capoeira - James Brown was the God father of Soul but really created Funk Music | indirectly James Brown did have a big connection with Breakin' & Hip Hop Culture

[HeavenForYourEars]

@ProfessionalBboys agree with you.i wanted to write the same.but i see you was faster.breaking and capoeira, they didn't even know about each other.they evolved separately.first breaking song was james brown - good foot.and the first guy who went down, meaning in foot work was a guy called broke.he did the zulu spin if i'm not mistaking.it was all about dj kool herc's parties back in 70s

[itsjosetapia]

@zigrendon I RESPECT YOUR OPINION BUT PLEASE RETHINK EVERYTHING AFTER I TELL YOU THIS: HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE TRUE, UNDERGROUND/CLASSIC/OLD SCHOOL RAPPERS AND NOT THE ONES YOU SEE ON TV WITH A SHITLOAD OF MONEY, DRUGS, AND WOMEN.

[Nes826]

@rashaan6 Well thats low class and trashy.

[Nes826]

@rashaan6 Well thanks low class and trashy.

[zigrendon]

ridiculous

[zigrendon]

He's talking about rappers like they are heroes and shit.Breakin is our martial arts.For real?

[zigrendon]

@rashaan6 take it easy buddy, that's someone's god

[RMSthug]

@rashaan6 Ooooh youre soooo cool! Writing bullshit about other peoples religion on youtube! Your account says youre 31? Son ill pray for you

[BlazinSkull209]

@rashaan6 you my friend are disgusting...that was not even funny or hilarious please dont make stupid reatrded comments like that

[BlazinSkull209]

these kids in harvard are now getting the real education KRS ONE fans stand up

[tyroneakaflex]

This is suppose to replace Christianity

[BlazinSkull209]

@tyroneakaflex its not to replace christainity...it just another religion made for those people who can connect to GOD through Hip Hop

[RMSthug]

@tyroneakaflex Christianity is my religion, but Hip Hop is my way of connectig to God. While some people pray, I break

[1lamekidd]

Bet "Hip Hop" rappers now a day do not know this at all

[dunkelmond9]

"Yup, it's time for the teacher once more..." Would like to meet him in real life...

[annou23]

first of all the great thing about hip hop is it doesnt matter what you say cuz its us it represents a movement its in your face and its not moving its a culture of its own its self aware so when you say " You can not HONESTLY think or even SAY that "the black community is advanced." You just can not. These are the most insane lies straight from the Pit of Hell!" it doesnt affect us. cuz we are here we are present even if u dont like us we are here. you understand we are here. move us.

[Jahrass7]

@annou23 HIPHOP was engineered by genius minds. FLASH, HERC, BAMBAATAA, AND THEIR GANGS! Yes GANGS became artists. But to say that BLACK people are responsible for HIPHOP is like saying all Jews are EINSTEIN. Te percent of REAL HIP HOP HEADS vs the whole community is like 10% or less. In reality, Puertoricans, Asians and Whites have an equal role in keeping HIPHOP alive right now...period.

[bboyzuel]

thanks to hip hop for coloring my life!

[sickclickrap]

how or where can i find all the text of the speech? I'm italian and i'd like to translate it to explain at school

[crustyshirt]

Now lets look at what most people consider hiphop today...

[tenseman08]

considering and what it is is different thing..they'll consider it and change their consideration but can never change the reality of hip hop..

[Pacjunior]

gud shit

[sourTRON]

stop dunking

[xWiredTx]

@sourTRON lol "HIPHOP!"

[shounenk]

is that bboy machine at 4:25??!

[bboyStuntZ]

@shounenk probably. But even it is isn't Machine can do all those moves.

[Sprafikk]

How dumb would it sound if your heard half of a word or half of a sentence and then all of a sudden the video skips a few minutes ahead and KRS is on a different topic all throughout this speech? Well really dumb. It would sound like you were flipping through your TV stations really fast hearing a bit of what's being said on each station. ................... Soooo avoiding that BULLSHIT. The time was conveniently filled up with the Basketball and KRS ad-libs..... It's really that simple

[Sprafikk]

I'll break it down for all of you "Creatures" still going through EVOLUTION. The Reason that the video cuts away to a basketball player for only a few seconds is cause the person that made this video only wants the amounted time of the video to be completely about the 9 F***ING ELEMENTS. KRS probably got off topic with some stuff he said or even talked about a variety of things and this person took a liking to the 9 ELEMENTS.

[latnemalle]

Thanks for the video, and thanks for KRS-One.

[benmoffat]

Thia shit is a sublimal cut from someone who taped it, that shits obvious! why the fuck would thier be some guy playing basketball during the speech?? the only thing in common is the place hes playing, so wtf! who ever did this is evil

[Ramel34]

It seems like every time I get into a KRS1 speech I get cut short. He was at the height of his speech then it fades away.

[DRIVEBYRACHKO]

HIP HOP! HIP HOP! (Dunks)

[hoggdawn]

Thank God for hip-hop. Without this art form, it is hard to imagine the black community would be as advanced as it is.

[nhazu]

@hoggdawn not to say it's limited to only the black community :)

[nellerichardson]

@hoggdawn lol aww man You're kidding right? You can not HONESTLY think or even SAY that "the black community is advanced." You just can not. These are the most insane lies straight from the Pit of Hell! Im actually SHOCKED that KRS-One got so far with this! He should have never let the moment stray away from his cypher! LOL I would guess that the people who agree to this hogwash must all be heavy drug users.

Forgive them Father.

Jesus is TRUTH.

[drizzt420]

@nellerichardson wow way to judge god must love you hating on ppl good for you

[8thDM3NSHN]

@hoggdawn no mofo u R that community all of us and dont thank god thank URself for coming here...more than art its a culture (like hippies) ur sanctuary of ignorance blinds u read a book no offense just recommend but the mofo part was..heys its the truth i wouldnt lie to u......krs-one FTPeace!
