[askdiamond]

RIP to my good friend Scot La Rock this is when hip hop WAS hip hop!!!!

[rampagecurruption]

My Friend says he's glad theese days are over. His funeral was 2day

[foreal1992]

@rampagecurruption Self destruction, you're heading for self destruction

[CassusBeli]

I listened to so much BDP when I was growing up. When I see & hear the vast majority of todays dog shit "hip pop" I don't whether to laugh or cry.

[TheBrownManIsGod]

i think very deeply

[wemtb]

whats happened to rap these days? RIP biggie and tupac fuck 50 cent and lil wanye

[kitson102]

[dixiedean10]

Dopest 3 to ever pick up an Mic!!

FRESH for '88 you suckers!

[DaveWBedford]

Being a teacher Mr Parker ought to know there is no such word as "unrational". I think the word he is looking for is "irrational".

But still, I am not a successful part-time rap artist and school teacher!

[AndreZephaniah]

@DaveWBedford No disrespect to you Mr. Bedford. But it's his rhyme so the word he used is the word he was obviously looking for. If he is saying (non) rational then I think it's perfectly fine to say unrational. Furthermore I would say that as a creative writer it is accepted to change the prefixes and suffixes of words for a desired literary effect. Writing rap lyrics is a form of creative writing. So, overlook it. Though it is possible that he didn't know as a young rapper.

[DaveWBedford]

I didn't realise KRS-1 (or Mr Parker to his pupils!) was also a teacher! Does anyone know what school he worked at in these days?

Fresh for '88 you suckers!

[mckaela206love]

@DaveWBedford  KRS-ONE did a mixed media presentation at Broadway Hall on the Seattle Central Commuinty College campus a few weeks ago. The Hall is feet away from the Occupy Seattle camp. The presentation was amazing.

[cryolocke]

This word is overused, but for KRS1 it's legit: Legend.

[78FineSmokey]

Taking it 2 Da Streets wit Dis one. Still Knocking Hard

[espnchick1920]

IT'S NOT ABOUT A SALARY, IT'S ALL ABOUT REALITY!!

This song STILL goes hard. Every so-called rapper should have to listen to this as some sort of pledge process or something.

[UKBreakz]

Remember Buying the Album when it was released!! Tuff Tunes!!

[hiphop4life24678]

back when hip hop had soul...

[BKLYNTURK1975]

I remember lifting this cassette in bklyn heights.

[bluewave727]

[disandthat]

@bluewave727 KRS never followed trend. He would never wear baggy pants

[gronlaf]

what, who, where ....name one artist who is doing this...ONE NIGGA

[kyoukan102]

Today's hip hop is still alive, and doing well, but it's gone underground.

[29ljames]

Funky, funky, funky,funky, funky hit records!

[77musica]

I remember New York during these days, it was fucking wild and dangerous and Latinos and Blacks could not go downtown to the clubs so we created this ART FORM, BUT but but whites fucked it up.

[kyoukan102]

@77musica On behalf of all white people, I apologize, since of course it was all our fault.

[77musica]

@kyoukan102 wicked music industry is controlled by fucking jews and white assholes

[draf4]

[RAISEONER]

i think very deeply...

this video had a major part in me getting into hip hop bak in da dayz

[sahbian]

this was truly the golden era of hip hop. most rappers were unique in style (flowwise and clothes) now you got everyone looking and sounding the same (flow and clothes). but who's to blame?

[ABOM420]

@sahbian

whos to blame for people copying flow and clothes?

hoes and rap shows.

who knows?

i dont care.

cuz that shit BLOWS.

hiphop fuckin glows

[TheNOLAMITE76]

[18tahj]

Nelly ? Dawg... come on KRS killed you before you was even around, universal to all MCs in all times, From a real old school MC

[FIFTHWHEELVTH]

[sypha0x]

@bilgra41 you mean BDP

[terrootti]

music thus hip hop reflects our society society changes thus hip hop to. In the 80's people had another mentality than in the 2000's it's no use comparing hip hop would never be the same it will change forever. But wath's sad is that nowadays people forget how it used to be that's how you get useless songs this days

[3x3eyes3]

i agree with mrleebo 123 the new genre is hip pop nobody teaches any more..i remember when lyrical content meant something and it wasnt strictly bout how much of anything a person has i guess thats the evolution of the scene i just long for good hip hop peace

[MrLeebo123]

TODAYS HIPHOP IS POP HOW DARE THEY STILL CALL TODAYS RUBBISH HIP HOP

[Dmajini]

@MrLeebo123 There are still some of us out here who stick to the roots of hip hop... We're just being drowned out by all of the nonsense.

[DatMangoSentinel]

@MrLeebo123 How dare he type in all caps?

[MrSystemOAD]

@MrLeebo123 How dare you say rubbish??

[abSOULuteD]

[aqiylm62]

Who the fucking idiots that disliked this?

[bestovbthworldz]

the saddest part is that the lyrics in this song is more relevant now than it was in "88 "the way some act in rap is kinda wack and it lacks creativity and intelligence but they don't care cause the company's selling it"

[MrBigawesome1]

@bestovbthworldz BIGGG UPPPS TO YOU MY DOG FOR THIS COMMENT!

[bestovbthworldz]

the saddest part is that the lyrics in this song is more relevant now than it was in "88 "the way some act in rap is kinda wack and it lacks creativity and intelligence but they don't care cause the companies selling it"

[SoCalDude805]

One of the few rappers to never sell out

[ChaoticMatters]

Is this guy underrated or what?

[abcdefh1992]

@ChaoticMatters Is one of the most well respected and always hailed as one of the greatest rappers of all time underrated? No. Obviously not. Underrated means someone you like is either almost completely unknown or generally disliked.

[ChaoticMatters]

@abcdefh1992 well I didn't see him on one of the top rappers list

[phatboytrex1976]

KRS at the top of his game.... Probably one of the best ever imo.

[monehunnet]

If aliens landed on earth and wanted to know what hip-hop was i would play them this song!

[EmmCeeT]

I've been listening to BDP since The P Is Free (Look it up). 43 People's philosophies are whick whick WHACK

[huskerjeff1]

Nuff Said...

[JamesonMachado]

i think very deeply

[thasco]

Hands down, my number 1 Hip Hop track of all time.

[abcdefh1992]

@thasco What about Paid in Full?

[thasco]

@abcdefh1992 Paid and Full is another classic, of course. It's def in my top ten. But this, for me, is No. 1. I'll never tire of hearing this song.

[Jarcademis]

this sound brings me back. nice job.

[onof986]

how does this get dislikes? how does this get 691,949 and not 2 million views? if stations played this, kids my generation wouldnt know who this is cause their stuck to the artists that dont have any lyrical talent and only "rap" about girls and money

[TheSirAo]

Sucka MC's act like they dont know!

[jzon3251]

I only know this from top 100 rap songs from vh1 :(

[christiansurf12]

I'M NOT RED,YELLOW OR BROWN I'M WHITE AND DOWN WITH THE BOOGIE DOWN,THEY SHOULD OF HAD KRS ONE BUSTIN A TAG

[Rib5]

So this is where rap came from... it's actually not so bad. What happened?

[BoreDTempesT]

@Rib5 The late 80's. When Hip-Hop and Rap became two different things.

[YhwhKhai]

KRS One needs to step back up and knock out these current rap frauds "in a second." The rap today is all about money, hoes, rims, cars, bling, blah blah blah. I stopped listening and still go old school.

[EstupedMexicanz]

KRS0 ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[187SicknesS]

got myself an uzi and my brother a nine.

[flipgood89]

classic, classic song....but it bugs the shit out of me when he says (un) rational at the end...

[emceecodeks]

I had that Jeep!!

[KaiL3127]

yay! krs on the front page! i thought this day would never come!

[ManturoQ]

Ah, good childhood memories. This is when I liked rap/hip hop. It was actual social commentary - not misogynism and antisocial self-hating lyrics.

"Talk broken English and drug selling..." Preach BDP!

[MrPsykokiller13]

back when jeeps and starter jackets where baller status 

[urdynamix1]

This Classic Song Makes You Think Very Very Deeply, Reminds Me HipHop Ain't Shit These Days.

[blixensd]

gangsta rap <3

[CaronAplus]

@blixensd ... no this is not gangsta rap.... he is teaching

[blixensd]

@CaronAplus Gangsta rap is a genre of hip-hop that reflects the violent lifestyles of inner-city youth. The genre was pioneered around 1983 by Ice T with songs like "Cold Winter Madness" and "Body Rock/Killers." Gangsta rap was popularized by illustrious rap groups like NWA and Boogie Down Productions in the late 80s. :) Yes its gangsta rap ^^

[CaronAplus]

@blixensd ... gangsta rap didn't come from NY.. it started out there in LA... like you said Ice T and NWA... how old are you.. I like to debate..so this could go on for hours.. but thanks for replying back.. its all good...

[nutlil2]

@CaronAplus the east coast wasnt really gangsta rap it was hardcore rap...

[aMortalArtist]

36 people didn't think very deeply.

[BIGG209]

are you down wit

BDP!?

[joaocorreiamedia]

This is so good. I was really missing some REAL HIP HOP today. Even though I was listening to Afrika Bambaata earlier today :D

[nbNBnb69]

someone needs to teach that crowd how to dougie... lol

[moneybuilden]

35 people dont think at all

[bournesh]

I think very deeply

[coryninetail]

nice! finally some real hip hop! This should be played on the radio lol!

[progressiveleftpress]

for the history of how Malcolm X relates to Hip Hop, see the real history of the Shakur family from Malcolm X to the New York Panthers to Tupac's leadership of the New Afrikan Panthers to the FBI orchestrtating his murder. For more information on this proud Panther history to today, google fbi war on tupac

@Frogger0neXx booty drippin? Lmao that sounds funny and nasty as hell

[pflmagic]

@Frogger0neXx Unless its big L

[JustOneMeatPuppet]

@Frogger0neXx At least there's the underground. Have you heard the new album by Shabazz Palaces, "Black Up"? It's really good!

[FF7Master]

@Frogger0neXx Everything isn't lost yet, look to artists like Lupe Fiasco, and B.o.B.
