Interview with KRS-One part 1\3 WAKE UP!

[PoeticLikeNas]

I love this man. The truth. Ms. PoeticLikeNas. My hero.

[frvrundead216]

The greatest artist and philosopher alive. 

[Dopebud831]

"The country was on the verge of revolution. Then they throw a black man up. Now we like this."

"We're in so much debt, the only way out is revolution or war."

And he was about to dish out a big sack of truth but the video cut off. When I think about what a small, rich group of white people are the "franchise owner" it makes me sad for America.

[TheZaidabdullah]

@HarrisonDunnett lol lol 

[matthewbonk]

that burger king analogy was actually perfect

[chefmikeyg702]

KRS ONE , Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone.  Politically Enlightened. KRS has been and will be a Legend and Role model for all those in the everyday hustle. Long Live KRS ONE.

[fashionbutterfly100]

i disagree the comment on death stands with purpose. god gave you your life. you have no right to take away what god gave to you.

[JoshRA]

"A black person in orifice."

Seems as though Kris and I share the same taste in adult movies.

[sixerjones]

This man gets it..black or white it doesn't matter..keep talking the talk..all of us truthers love you as a person...

[BrettMariee]

KRS-ONE is like a black Alex Jones! They should do more protest and truth movies! And maybe KRS can do a music video and put Alex and Jesse Ventura! That would be amazing!

[KN0WLEGE562]

krs1 always speak on real shit...he's not dumb like alota these other dumb rappers

[MindstormRecs]

I love KRS One, intelligence and talent

[juakovp96]

hahahaha the dislike is forever alone

[texaspete33]

his voice is fucked.

[TeeTownSounds]

Entertainment, Gadgets and Racism/Hate.

Those are the tools that keep We The People in our place.

We don't care how corrupt or abusive our own Gov't is to us.

"Just gimme my iPhone and my Dallas Cowboys game, Keep Lil Wayne playin on my radio and Fuck anyone who aint the same as me!"

[TeeTownSounds]

Alex, shut up and let KRS speak! We can listen to you for 4hrs every M-F.

What venue in Austin was this?

[kingsharkboy619]

krs one for world leadder

[AlexTheMusicPhene]

KRS is so damn wise man

[SimianAxiom]

Not very often you hear so much truth out of one man. Thanks KRS one.

[jsax2012]

The quotation, who's origin KRS-One forgot, was said by Nathan Hale. KRS actually paraphrased it. The true quotation reads, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."

[MrPathanStyle]

1 zionist didnt like this video

[DragonRising88]

@MrPathanStyle

lol true!

[krata77]

Im gonna be doing an interview with KRS ONE in 2 days from now....mostly about politics, NWO and broken system.... IF YOU WANT TO ASK KRS ONE a QUESTION send me a message with the question....I will ask him!

[sweetknwldg]

@krata77

This is a bit late, but I want this question answered so much that I thought I'd try. If you ever have an opportunity to speak to him again, please ask KRS about his views on mental illness, psychiatry and the pharmaceutical industry, and if he thinks it is ethical to diagnose and medicate youth. I would love to know his take on the importance of spirituality in the healing of mental "illness".

[bb0y87]

Someones misclicked on dislike, easy mistake

[toophatpoyo]

Unbelievable analogy there towards the end.

[813grimy]

SPEAK THE TRUTH BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lookbehindtheveil]

[okonaoko11]

[MsJets23]

SeptemberClues.info Enough said. Dont be apart of the ignorant masses.

[jays0909]

real talk

[Zzozze]

only one word to describe him: lucidity

[illosinob]

when Geithner ran for treasury office he honestly said

"don't be suspicious, my interest isn't conflicted, honest to death"

a fear mongered congress nodded their heads

and let another dishonest con artist hop into bed

with washington, main street lost again

-Me CHECK OUT MY PAGE

[tommypdunn]

this cat is real he remind me of the old head who used to look out for me

[inhuman0id]

alex jones is a shill to lead you away from the REAL terrorists of 911 - JEWS

erichufschmid net

[PieGuyPlay]

Its the white men , they are out to get us .

[MAKAVELIxxCODExRED]

the only reason he's not everywhere like lil wayne or drake. is becuz he aint down with the illuminati...

[inhuman0id]

@MAKAVELIxxCODExRED if he supports alex jones then he IS down with the illuminati

erichufschmid net

[money1989will]

too bad kids dont even know who this..i wish that some of the rappers that only rap about bullshit today. would take a step back let the kids know whats real

[matzomaniac]

now there's a teacher the youth should look up too... respect to Chris!

[stezystepchild]

fuk this guy is awesome

[MrReadandlearn]

A very wise man

[pseudonymmmm]

droppin knowledge krs onee

he's extracting energy from the beat !

[NotLuckyInLife]

All are corrupt is the only difference I would point out. No matter what branch you choose to look at.

[NotLuckyInLife]

Well spoken by a non politician.

[CheckinGagaiNagain]

HA HA!

Talking bOut nOthing real!

rubbish never has anOther name...

actually Obamas a ROTHSCHILD!

What a dream everyOne's living in,One within anOther One...

[inhuman0id]

@CheckinGagaiNagain alex jones is a zionist shill

[CheckinGagaiNagain]

@inhuman0id

i knew that a lOng time agO..!

[inhuman0id]

@CheckinGagaiNagain took me awhile to weed out all of the misinfo agents and scare mongers - anyways keep on keeping on and spread the truth

[CheckinGagaiNagain]

@inhuman0id

In the end what it bOils dOwn tO is!

That peOple have tO wOrk tOgether,if they dO nOt,they wOrk against each Other and thOse energies Of cOurse are well used by thOse whO are gainst humans(ultimatily the majority ways..!)

sOmetimes difficult tO wOrk with each Other BE CAUSE EGO!

little things,but patience they say is a vertue!

WE make it the WAY we THINK iT...

[spidermanstailor]

@inhuman0id Alex Jones is the dane cook of truthers, Sure he wants to help but in the end he needs a good "shut the fuck up." He ruins what most are trying to accomplish, the reason the RFID chip hasn't gone into production yet is because of whistle blowers. Think about it, if you blow up the spot of those in power they will simply hide again and make you look foolish to the sheep. The best offense for us as the people is to let it happen and actually see what we're fighting.

[jays0909]

@inhuman0id how so? im curious....he seems to try to expose the nwo and the bankers?

[inhuman0id]

@jays0909 my opinion - he fails to discuss israeli's role in the 9/11 attacks - israel attacked the U.S.S. Liberty June 8, 1967 and the first WTC bombing event plus others JFK etc. - I feel there is strong evidence pointing towards israel that 9/11 was no different - look who we have in office - how many dual israeli/US in top key postion in our military, banking, and political system - not a coincidence

[jays0909]

@inhuman0id very true, I guess my self personally bankers and elitist jews are one in the same. But your right in that aspect that he doesnt mention that very simplistic fact and the fabric of that ties all of it together.

[unlistedoo7]

I wish I could meet this man one day, because his wisdom is apart from his Ego; that is well balanced...

[VIC229]

why they dont put stuff like this on tv.....ummmm good question

[msyana80]

nothing but the truth!!

[surfin4]

aint seen krs 1 in years always was a deep well

[DjDedan]

Is that Alex JOnes in the background???

[Korianne75]

@DjDedan yes

[DjDedan]

the true trickery is that race has always been a smoke screen used to keep Poor Americans seperated... oldest trick in the book, divide and conquer... great interview...

[potshed]

LOL KRS 1 FOR PRESIDENT

[roddiggy4eva]

he don't play when it comes to consciousness haha

[EricPowellAKAELPJ]

i was shocked when kris compared america to burger king cuz i neva thot of it tht way. thts genius. one thing tho. isnt kris a vegiterian? wat this nigga doin at burger king? lmao. KRS-ONE ONE OF THE G.O.A.T.: TOP 5 MCS easy!

[dagreatcapri82]

Ain't nothing wrong with "The Teacha" treating himself with a nice, juicy Whopper every now and again. LOL! But seriously, it's amazing how the stuff that he speaks on here goes over people's head sometimes. We so focused on the entertainment aspect of things that we forget about the REAL issue. We should've woke up a long time ago, I personally think it's too late now. Fight for self fight before saving the people because the people will kill you. Also, KRS-1 is the best that ever did it PERIOD

[EricPowellAKAELPJ]

@dagreatcapri82 yeah dats true. i feel u on that. thts why kris created edutainment. lmao. but i dnt think its too late. truly tho u cant make sum1 believe the truth. Quote: " Don't speak to fools, they scorn the wisdom of your words." ur right u hafta fight fo urself b4 u go to save the people. nd yeah Kris is the best!

[GiggityZZ]

[nappyslayer]

one of my fav is dreamin of being a blunt

[cybreez]

beautifully said

[loves1reflection]

wow true that man .. deep shit

[survival12345]

what hes sayin is true.. the president is just the person that takes the blame for all that is wrong.. the authority is an illusion, they are just the muppets that direct your attention to the figure, not the hand thats controlling them...

it keeps your anger and your protest aimed in the wrong direction... we are like horses kept in the fence... even though we could clear it with one great leap to freedom, we choose to stay cause thats where the convience is.. jump the fence.....

[bouncasmoke]

new zealand loves you KRS1!

[DJDILLY09]

what a fucking role model man

you could listen to him for hours and hours and not one word woudnt be the truth

real talk man

[Blackjesus3]

LEGEND

[asthenia166]

If you aren't interested in politics, then stay the fuck out of the music business.

[indigoba]

KRS for president!

(with eric b as vice pres, providing the beats)

[shawzie1916]

lol alex jones is in the backround =P

[FinnishAirsoftplayer]

KRS aint only good at rapping, he is a great at speaking. He gives us Knowledge

[madfellaz01]

KRS1 iz A Gift 2 Humanity

[RATH3RUNIQUE]

KRS is an amazing speaker, I could listen to him for hours lol

[kannibees]

[Shadowgod707]

"Even Death Respects Purpose"

[smenkinsa]

KRS-One maaaaan i LOVE him he IS the truth!

[mac163]

caution sheeple: free man talking.

[MisterCoswell]

[MindAtLarge010]

[87even]

[Andrefondrei]

krs for president

[kannibees]

a politician is a politician " amen brotha.. its sad to say but so far , he is no different from bush. he has as many mercenaries on the payroll that bush did.

KRS-ONE 2012!

[rebirth1969]

The true edutainer.

[theworldearth]

Wise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SavAPlantEatACow]

"Even if I voted for Bush he still was gonna... If I didn't vote or did vote he still was gonna be the president."

Haha, so true

[ComicalGenius]

speeeeakkkk it man! he's got it happening man

[humblegoldvybez]

very true what Krs One says about Barrack Obama pertaining to emotional politics, Just look at the majority of poltics here in the caribbean which used to be ruled by the white colonists. After the majority carribbean nations attained independence of their european colonists and BLACK politicians took over the governments, ask yourselves this, has life for blacks in the caribbean have a GLORIOUS HEAVEN, I think not. So do you believe Obama will cure america and make lives for Blacks easier??

[ReFaze]

I dont think they are looking for that

[LoGiKx2099]

i love how he compared America to Burger King that is the descriptive comparison an emcee of true thought can possess

[kedordu]

death respects purpose .. my GOD !! i got chills when he said ..

[carneilius]

I love to hear him speak!!

[basscantlose]

He's not only a real BLACK role model, he's a role model for all of us. All of us in the youth of the world today, that need to stand up, and say what we see is wrong. We need to create a new foundation for social reform. Our parents had the 60's, and now we have a chance to follow through with what the things that they weren't strong enough to withstand. Fight back! Black, and white, we will unite!

[kedordu]

gr8 words friend

[xXFrEeKyDeEzYXx]

Yeah he represents Hip-Hop culture

[ghettoTV1]

@basscantlose stfu he's white

[tyron2345]

@basscantlose YES! its about time, like he said its much more than just a black side or a white side, we as human beings are being conned everyday by the same people who are meant to be resolving the problems. We need to stand on our own 2 feet now, as people together and let them know they cant hide whats really going on, a REVOLUTION and UNITY is what they scared of!

[kemetvisions223]

This man is a REAL black role model

[AfrikanGod1]

WORD!!!!!!

[suaved]

"Maybe my eye will go up!"

That was funny: the way he said it.

[skymunro]

racism is socioeconomic at this point...it has nothing to do with race creed or anything else...

[suaved]

KRS One is always interesting to listen to, and he's funny as hell too.

[alexanderthewraith]

KRS rocks though! STUPID!

[tmjm323]

hes so damn smart. logic, morally. i wish i was as motivated as he is. he didnt even go to school, he just read at a library nonstop. thats crazy

[HahaLung23]

school is VERY outdated. especially since college is the only school that allows you to go for whatever you want, and college is still too expensive and outdated. its something for the industrial age, we dont need that bullshit anymore.

whats p.e. or ww2 going to do to better my life?

ha ha ha.

[alexanderthewraith]

My opinion ain't much but I think each student should PERFECT their subject at all levels then move to the next logical course. Learn spelling and english to a high level first then comprehension becomes cohesive on other courses.

[tmjm323]

i agree man. more than anyone will ever kno lmao. im thinkin bout college now, but its just like.....uhh no ha. im not payin 50grand to learn 63% bullshit. 63-65% somethin like tht of everything we learn b4 college in school we will never use again. and i get sick of learning how to graph angles for an hour n a half man. or reading fuckin shakespeare. on question EVERY teacher willnever be able to asnwer is. when will we need this in real life? and they know it

[darksaint29]

Iku= death /....we hear!

Rationality,common sense,....it all comes back.Faith,Love,and charity.

[russman1018]

Let the Man Haze us all.

Has anyone ever actually listened to his lies?

He's just like the rest of them.

Out there for his own good only...

[djplusplus]

word up.

[alexanderthewraith]

Well.. he talks about emotional politics at first then says he stands with the black panther party!? HMMMM. I respect a lot of his veiws though! OF COURSE I'M WHITE LOL!

[spiritsoup]

The message of the Panther party is not a message of race but one of freedom for ALL average men. And I'm white, but that makes no difference when I come from the same f'ed up streets of Detroit. Race is an argument of the ignorant.

[alexanderthewraith]

ALL "PARTIES" are ploys of the banksters to divide and conqeur the people of the world at their profit! I agree race is pretty much a dead issue to me, I have friends from all races just about...so.

[HahaLung23]

a lot of people are saying "its not about race now."

its about race for the majority more than anything right now, why do you think Obama won?

as far as i'm concerned, Iraqi genocide and Mexican racism is still a huge issue ever since Bush brought up to border policy issues.

[alexanderthewraith]

I got no beef with a latino or any other race that wants to EARN their citizenship, it's the illegal border jumpers that are BREAKING THE LAW that bother me. You try to go be a "citizen" in say...EL SALVADOR and see how easy it is! NOT! They lock folks like us up for ransom dude! They do let the other races get more protest rights it seems though...I've seen video footage to prove it!

[alexanderthewraith]

My grandfolks lived in Detroit for many years.

[fresshjay]

Best rapper Alive

[kamdawg00]

this is my man...is this what you sent me on myspace

krs one is a true legend in hip hop
