This version is edited or cut short.. My version says."DJ RED ALERT IS DOWN WITH US".. Courtesy of Beat Street Record..Brooklyn NYC...I don't know if this is a reprint. Jive label has a different version. Matter of the fact; He mention more ppl that r down with us..Damn, I miss BEAT STREET RECORDS.... Very Good Directory... They would play records you never heard yet. Artist that wouldnt get radio time; or their budget couldnt afford a video. Like a free RECORD POOL...Signing out..Dipset....
If you dont understand the importance of KRS in hip hop history your disrescpecting most of your favorites who we will leave nameless, but 20 years from now my KRS 1 and our Lil Wayne are gonna be in the same breath.
@18tahj To say that KRS-1 and Lil Wayne will be mentioned in the same breath is just ludicrous! Lil Wayne is nothing more than an emblem of ignorance. He has nothing to say that can compare to that of KRS. When Lil Wayne can compose a song without drug talk, misogyny, extreme profanity and tell a story the conversation can begin. Lil Wayne CAN NEVER HOLD A MIC TO A LEGEND!!!!
This song is ill and is definitely a great memory of what hip-hop used to be, inspiring and real.
Groups like BDP and the Wu-Tang Clan have motivated me to take upon rapping myself. I rap over old school beats by Premier, Pete Rock and such, so if you're into a young cat with an old school flow, definitely take a second to peep my channel. Thanks a lot. Your views are appreicated :)
Son...this is story telling at it's best. That's the true blue print of hip hop. Distinctive chest thumping, rhyme displaying and MC elevating lyrics.
This one of the best hip hop songs ever written!!!!! A young dudes... this is real hip hop and this emcee.... will take out any motherf*&#ker new kat that's on air today!!!!
@ Bubito ~ that's news to me about Kool Mo... In all that time of the battles, I never understood KRS-1 to ever have a beef with Kool Mo. Never. You gotta get at me on that. Tell me a little more so I see the connection. @ edkbmr ~ peace King. My brother is Original Zulu Nation. My brother is Bug Out. If you Zulu, you would know him. At 1:50, I can understand your point. However, I didn't understand any beef between KRS-1 & Mel as well. Was it behing the scenes?
@macewindu67 ~ To me, this was directly aimed at Poet and the rest of the Juice Crew. This song came on the heels of Poets (from Queensbridge) record dissin KRS One. That's how I saw it go down back in the day. After KRS dropped this, I didn't hear anymore diss records between the two sides again.
@bubito15 you both wrong. this song was for melie mel and the remix was for poet. i am a member of zulu nation that does show with all of them and can show & prove
For those who don't know, this was the record that finally ended and deaded all rap battles with the Juice Crew and all those dudes who jumped on their band wagon. This record was mainly an answer to Poet a/k/a Blak Poet who was a Queensbridge rapper who went in on KRS 1 on behalf of Marley Marl & the Bridge. He kinda roasted KRS 1 & his then wife, Ms. Melody. KRS came back with this & put his name & crew in the Hip Hop Hall of Fame. No one has fucked with him since, well, Nelly. LOL
@Baltimorehop you both wrong. this song was for melie mel and the remix was for poet. i am a member of zulu nation that does show with all of them and can show & prove
YO!!! This track is from the 1980s and still rocks in the 2010s. Concisive teaching and very clear speaking.... rebel renegade must get paid. And the beat? RAWNESS! Line 4 line this is one of the dopest raps songs ever!
man these young silly ass hollywood stardust rappers couldnt begin 2 grasp the concept of real story telln erybody sayn the same ole shit s.o.s 2 many non creative unrealistic cartoon characters n da game even alot of the traks of 2day r wak and gay
50 years down the line you can start this, caus we'll be the old school artists and even in that time I'll say a ryme, brand new style ruthless and wild. Running around spending money having fun caus even then...Im still number ONE!!!
Yo Chris I would love to work with you on this one single I'm working on I know you'll love it....It's tribute to Hip Hop and where it all started,THE BOOGIE DOWN... I'll let you check it out when I'm finish.-The L-
lmao dmx is a bitch he had a fight agaist eric rodriguez schedualed for the 12th of december and backed out cuz they wouldnt rig the fight quoted from dmx saying "i wont fight if its not rigged in fear for my own safety"
BEST RAPPER EVER...let me tell you why....KRS's lyrics cant be compared with.His vocabulary makes his raps sound so much better.And the only thing he raps is the TRUTH wether people like it or not. YOU STILL #1
Yes, yes, yes... this is true! There will never be another Knowledge Reign Supreme overly nearly every1. The rappers today should take some lessons from Mr. Kris Parker. His music is still relevant to this day. Thank U KRS-1 & BDP.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ok..the best rappers right now..is eminem...all bull aside...and nas as always and jay-z..and dmx..even nas and jay-z said that dmx keep it so real u dont wonna fukk with that dude...and not jus that...dmx has a big dope problem..not weed..he smokes crack and he snorts caine.. thats what he in jail for now..nikka got like 10 possesions in his life time..so to keep it real and raw on a mike with his reputation..is real caouse he talk about him smokin crack on his tracks..thats real
He's not referring to the DMX you're thinking of. Look up "Davy DMX", he's a hip hop pioneer. The DMX you're thinking of didn't even start rapping until 1990.
I like dmx, and trust me I hate most rapers like him but dmx all ways had this style that clung to me, I hate kanye, comman, ti, lupe, etc you get the point
