KRS-One -- Kill A Rapper -- Prod. by Marley Marl

[TheProphaze]

It's crazy when u stop and think for a second.

[ladygodia]

why doesn't this have more views? This is coke.

[ak154]

Hit List:

-Lil Wayne

-Soulja Boy

[R0NOPOLY]

POWER-FUL  D-J MARLEY...MARL & KRS

[Malcolmthebeast]

A Dark beat and true lyrics. That's something that's need to be played on the radio instead of Lil Wayne, Fabulous, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Jay-Z, Soulja Boy, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, Waka Flocka, etc...

[jusaLOSER]

@Malcolmthebeast NOT Jay Z!!! have u not heard his Death Of Autotune???? he's still down with it! his 99 problems is killer! u can't hate him just cuz he sounds like he sold out, he's one of the most popular ones that still keeps it street every once in a while!

[Bloodportthugmedic]

Listen to the message.......Big L, 2Pac, BIG, JMJ.........unsolved and forgotten by so called investigators. This message is pure truth.

[ayayay111]

it works you should try it out. i got away with 2pac

[strife2k7]

whats the name of this album?

[Bklyn1987]

@strife2k7 - I think it's called Hip Hop Lives.

[TheNobleMoor]

KRS is an MC of Truth.  Miami Open case: R.I.P. Opa-Locka Rapper TORO...

[michaeldobruskin123]

THIS IS AS RAW AS HIP HOP GETS!!!!

[torn1576ca1]

[Younginfamous4]

THIS SHIT IS SO MOTHERFUCKING TRUE

[shadowpocalypse]

soulja boy's fine. lil wayne is the real trash.

[MissCedarbridge1]

@shadowpocalypse you need to stop haten on MC's because you dont even know what a weak rapper is we fans need to come together and like all MC's why dont we old school MC's done this for us now why we cant do this for them and again there is no #1 rapper because all MC's are the best

[Butterflycradle1]

@shadowpocalypse Exactly Soulja Boy isn't the real problem. it's Lil' Wayne

[Bloodportthugmedic]

True Skool!!!

[johnjnukemsheridan]

Real Hip Hop :)

[BigPrimo33]

TIP MAC DRE!!! Realest to ever spit game in a MIC!!!

[TheeBadass]

God damn his beat be wangin and i kno yall agree

[kynaenuama]

Umbelievable skills and show of talent! These beats and rhymes are like honey to my ears

[MShepherd88]

This version is pretty cool, but it's different from the final product. Search "Kill a Rapper KRS-One" on youtube, and you can listen to the final version too :)

[GJVPJB458]

krs one=the truth= hip hop=the bronx=the world

[nevawrong]

& you still probally wont even buy KRS's album, yet all of LIL WAYNE fans buy his bullshit so he can go PLATINUM easily.

all you so called "REAL HIPHOP FANS" are fake, because yall talk all this crap about how yall miss REAL HIPHOP, yet rappers like KRS, RAKIM, WUTANG, REDMAN, BUCKSHOT, CL SMOOTH, AZ, KOOL G.RAP, GANGSTARR & many more wont even go GOLD, & thats because theyre not gettin support from the REAL HIPHOP FANS.

if u want REAL HIPHOP to stay alive,

THEN BUY THE DAMN ALBUMS

[elganch]

real hip hop is about the streets, not record sales. if you represent the real shit you are doing your part

[Renthefaceless]

classic case of nelly vs krs. krs is STILL #1, despite record sales.

[3ncor]

krs one says himself,why is record sales the peak of exellence,hip hop isnt about sales its about being heard

[soekhoe]

"You can't be rich and keep making raw true hip hop".

those were his words I believe

[BAMBOOLOUNGE]

yes u can, depends how you change etc

[51L3NTGR1ND3R]

KRS one & Marley Marl is the BEST PAIR

[bloodyTac5]

we should kill soulja boy then . .

[OGxMusicxMax]

as soon as possible

[1xtraxtra]

Is this in the Biggie movie soundtrack it need to be.

[kaiyeem]

This that Crack(Creative Revolution Always Conscious of Knowledge) just gritty as Father U C King, dam KRS1 is that work for real. This is the Philosphy of the Hip Hop underground movement, check out Lin Que new albulm hitting stores soon......

[icecoldmothertrucker]

Meaby someone know the beginning of this song , first 4 seconds? Please anwser me

[chrisoman123]

i think is from one of 2pacs tracks

[Fiasco9128]

It sounds like the same sample as Gang Starr's "Moment of Turth".

[beaumont187]

Gang Starr - Moment Of Truth

[blanchard22k]

holy fuck hes right

[ruz2g]

the truth hurts and thats the way god works. krs for president.

[soringugiu]

Very Good !

[ani1616]

he is right though kill a rapper no offense.

[062082shane]

no doubt he played a huge part in the evolution of intelligent hip-hop

I would say Kool G Rap,Rakim,Tragedy,and KRS-One have the most staying power...

all stayed very true with how the entered the game too...

This incredible genious introduced to the hip hop culture as KRS One; Is a living Lengend. Make no mistake about this super superior MC, he is parallel to none dead or alive. He is definition of creativity and talent. KRS, is one of a kind. There will be none of his type, post his existance. KRS One you are an incredible artist, Rapper, MC, and one of the greatest contributors, of this culture called hip hop. You truly are hip hops finest. South Bronx Stand Up for the Hommie KRS One.

[Bustanez]

ur idea is mine man, I am from Mexico and I am a biggest fan of him , i have almost all his albums, he said "any hood I walk they show me love..they say Knowledge Reigns Supreme ..what up cuz?!???

[Sanctus0ne]

this is deep, gj krs.

[wuplaya]

Very good song!!!

[JDCauti0n]

if we can get away with murdering a rapper then lets kill 50 cent

[oldirtybastard213]

yea...

lets kill 50 cent cuz the industry hates him and he got to much money.

but lets leave alone.... Soulja Boy , Flo Rida , Lil Boosie , Lil Wayne , Shawty Lo, Kanye West... etc cuz THEYRE DOING SUCH A GGOOOOD JOB...

lmao

oh ... and the funny thing is that Krs And 50 are actually friends. Krs - one is one of the few rappers 50 likes and respects.

SO IN THE WORDS OF JIGGA ....

"To much westcoast dicklickin'"

[SWANx310]

die soulja boy die!

[redlion145]

Amen.

[toadstyle101]

As much as i agree, im not sure you'd get away with killing Soulja Bitch....he ain't a real rapper, especially compared to the legends KRS mentioned in the song. But then again these young motherfuckers nowerdays actually consider him to be a rapper so maybe it'll be worth the risk.

[thamessiahbg]

yeah, even chris rock performed something like dat in one of his showz - "you wanna get away with a murder, kill a rapper"

[MittyThaKiiD]

yea he said "if you ever wanna get away with a murder, put a Mixtape in his pocket"

[Shembeatz]

there's better version of this song, with other record on the chorus,

& this whole album is amazing

[rawb1989]

if we can get away with murdering a rapper then lets kill Soulja boy

[drzflyest4]

omg thank you!

[JZAqb]

I don't know if he qualifies the criteria of a rapper.

[akaboy4life]

i know what he will say before he dies. youl!!

[djkenedi]

down with soulja boy!

[n0s1r]

@rawb1989 I would co-sign that, but think about the shit they would say about him if he died... "Greatest of all-time" "#1 rapper" etc etc etc...

[cooka06]

@rawb1989

Maybe we should teach the audience instead a shootin the dude cashin'in.... The Cointel pro got shootin rappers already.... True Hiphop Builds Remember us

[Butterflycradle1]

@rawb1989 or Lil' Wayne

[hoodrichGMP]

@rawb1989 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !

[maikel641]

@rawb1989 kill lil wayne, jay z, ffight against politics

[abulkhair77]

@rawb1989

It wouldn't work because Soulja Boy is not a rapper.Lol

[LesaneRecords]

Maby someone shoud kill Soulja Boy...

[e1870]

Christopher Wallace is an unresolved murder, another one is MAC DRE, I dont know if y'all heard of him

[patg074]

this is the dopest shit, krs is the greatest to ever walk the earth on this hip-hop shit. peace to marley marl. this from the chi, and thats the realest shit i ever said.

[mcgrawHNIC]

true indeed, not one murder solved!!

[fooloof]

"Every time I grab the mic I always have a plan. He's DJ Marley Marl and I am MC Shan."

"FRESH! For 2008, Suckas! ha ha ha ha"

[BallParkz]

THIS SHIT IS RIDICULOUS!!! GOD DAMN KRS!

Bring that shit home....we need it!!!!!

[fooloof]

When I heard that Marley was doing production, I was afraid to listen. He is already a legend and so many guys try to come back, but are wack. Not the case here. And I don't have to speak on KRS; you already know. Oh shit, what Kris know about Mac Dre?

"What's the matter with your DJ, MC Shan? On the wheels of steel Marley sucks!"

It's a new day for BDP and the Juice Crew!

[420TREES420]

KRS-One Droping names of those we all miss

This track fucking AMAZING

[TruVandal]

KRS-One! Man it's so true and he did it over a cold beat. You want to get away with murder? Kill a rapper. Lil niggas better start taking notes from the teacher.

[djcoral]

MR. KRS.....you NEVER cease to amaze the world. Tell it like it is.....for years past and years to come. Stayin' real as real can get, never changing and staying trye to hip hop. No Glam...just pure form hip hop..so pure no matter how old some of the music will get. It is still current.

[ParadigmShift302]

Amen

[redconspcy31]

KRS walks the earth for a reason

[redconspcy31]

HUSH!

[blaq22]

I don't see where he has contridicted himself,he's always had the same position far as hip hop or politically,sometimes I think we may choose the wrong words to express ourselves,and other times we can be misquoted,or our statements taken out of context but that's to be expected when your dealing with the media and their character assassination attempts.

[yonfd]

This is beat is fucking amazing, I went wild when the DJ played on my prom!!!!

[timmyreg]

KRS1 has always been one of the hardest and controversial rappers EVER! Remember criminal minded, sound of da police? His early 80's stuff would be considered today as gangster rap, by the media. This nigga knows what he says. People always quick to dis a "gangster rapper" but they love a gangster movie.

[davisismail1comcast]

dont get it twisted, krs one is no thug ass slime ,and he definetly aint no diabolical ass gangster. Hes a testiment of what a real black man should be standing for. this is just like niggas to interprete shit the wrong way. A REAL BLACK MAN VS Thugs, Sluggs, Gangsters, Pranksters. "Peace is Already out"

[2006rayshawn]

like i said b4 im from the south!! "GOERGIA" this is one of the realest hardcore beats and lyrics. Im tired of this bubblegum shit being payed out here today. I remember back n the days how sum of my friends used to wonder why i would listen to music like this.......

[sense86]

yeah, I mean I love or loved KRS. I have almost all albums, love the lyrics, the message and so on. That's real HipHop. But when I take a closer look at many statements he did in the last time and when I take a look at insider-information I got some weeks ago, I must UNFORTUNATELY say, that I don't know what to think about him. Some statements were the total opposite to the things he said in his lyrics and the emssages he used to spread!

[Neeks4215]

i've noticed that too... he seems to change his opinions and views a lot and can be very hypocritical. but regardless he promotes good music and a good message. he deserves much respect

[b1ackic3]

than u are not a fan this song has a great message , use ur brain .

[Antkoff]

Everybody changes man... Taht's why most bands that get their fans at the beggining, loose them later... But kriss is spreading knowledge... Knowledge is not bout particular sentences, but the whole thing...

[GildersleeveDB]

KRS made this song and then went in front of the cameras and talked about how 50 Cent is his favorite rapper and how he likes to bump "I'll Still Kill" in his car. Makes a lot of sense!

[AcidicDreamer]

good tune, real sound and not popcorn bull

wtf u all talking about "they dont care about black people, police dont care about rappers"

haha they police they don't care about Junglists, Emo indie rockers or followers of trance music, and as for black people, you way too paranoid and take that racial card way too far, everyone gets a "special treatment" regardless of their skin

[tycktill]

You have a point, But regardless you cannot ignore all the dead rappers which cases never was solved. For example 2pac.. He got shot in a car outside a Mike Tyson fight and nobody of the hundreds maybe thousands people saw anything? That doesn't make sence..

[quran777]

Indeed.

[dstep357]

I have to give Nas the credit for the movement of rebirth of Hip Hop. That Hip Hop is dead album sparked everything. It woke kats up about how rap music is going to shyt.

[LowlifeDemonKing]

what u talking bout KRS is back? he never left!

[ZionTK]

this whole song is true, the cops dont give a shit about rappers

[1knowledge1]

hardcore shit

[1knowledge1]

this is real

[blackguy2732]

The teacher speaks truth once again. It's a shame that there is so much disperity in this country. It's also a shame that hip hop has fallen from the heights of songs like this.

[andersenkalle]

I have seen the HIPHOP LIVES video a couple of times on MTV. And i live in sweden.

[stillblaze]

Shame about KRS-one one stuff will not get played on MTV or commercial radio! REAL HIP HOP DOES LIVE!

[CaptTJay]

I think the police had killed ( 2PAC ) STILL a open case to this day. Things that make you say hmmm !

[1Mic89]

the first couple secs is from gang starr moment of truth

[Coremega7]

not instead of G-UNIT bullshit because they;re thats the definition of gangsta rap today and some of us like gangsta rap also, but take out all the snap fingas and bubble gum and put shit like krs one real rap music put KRS on.

come one put on the fkn radio u hear some twinkle star or candy paint shit and a lil whack ass dipset. thats why I never turn the shit on lol

[hmrcannon]

this is real talk

[revelashaun68]

Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone

[95percentperfect]

Krs speaks truth

[tattypatty]

Please make a decent vid for this track so it actually gets played instead of that Gunit/dipset bullshit.

[noorizer]

Fuck the bullshit on the radio...thank Allah for KRS!!

[beyondthesun1976]

KRS Uno is back! Smash those whack ass bling bling rappers out there!

[asslicker2121212169]

listening to hip hop again :)

[VinnyF26]

This album is another Krs classic!!! Cop it!

[northsyderyda]

1997 - 2004

i would say 97 to 02 or 03

[Capo238]

THE TEACHER IS BACK!!!

[Capo238]

THE TEACHER IS BACK! THANK GOD!!!

[makaveli237]

word man i was getting sick of this mainstream 50cent bullshit. tupac helped my throu

[J1fromtheBX]

support this album it's pure hip hop on every track! fire!

[H1MLA]

KRS-1 the Teacher is top bloke. Chris Parker is God in Europe, even though you clowns in the USA don't respect him.

[Loadfaster]

Actually its KRIS not Chris. Kris being the "shortform" from KRSNA. Cause of his KRSNA link. He wasnt actually KRSNA he just was openminded enuff to listen to what they had to say when they would come around.

[lanigirod]

tuff...i c he got us (hiphop generation dudes) talkin...KRS...top ten dead or alive

[HoodApparel]

Go to Loud,com/Uziel_Aballah_Shalla to Vote 4 Hiphop Freedom Fighter and protege of the legendary Krs One. MC Funky J a.k.a Loco Gringo, Jungle Doctor (The Medicine Man on da Mic), Mr. Terrific, The Hiphop Freedom Fighter, Uziel Aballah Shalla.

[BDBronxstaRipPac]

At tha end of tha day listen2 dis.....New York owned and started rap from 1973 - 1991 tha West Coast dominated it from 92-96 and den New York owned it from 1997 - 2004 and it 2005 wen all tha NY rapperz retired tha South started bloomin en I woodn't hav a problem wit dem "havin tha crown" if thay cood actually rhyme...East Coast ^^^^^

[BAMBOOLOUNGE]

100% agree

[erdna8183]

hip-hop hip-hop!!!!

[NYCNNJ]

NYC will ALWAYS be on TOP. Shit dont work well unless we are controlling it. When Rap was at its best, CDs were selling at a higher price. Now, Motherfuckers out here who think they are "running" rap(ATL and the "Souf"), Cds are $8.99 or $ 9.99. The stores are like, you , Niggers, like THIS SHIT? Here take it for this cheap as price.

[AHAHAAI]

The only reason cd prices went down is coz of NAPSTER, LIMEWIRE and all other types of illegal downloading, NOT coz of the south, if anything the south has been holding it down for years while ny got weaker.

Higher prices don't mean higher quality, for example around 2000-01,the ny knicks were the highest paid team around the time the lakers were the lowest paid team-Guess who won the championship that year and who finished with the league's worst record?

[J1fromtheBX]

True story fam! All i can say is thank god for KRS! these clowns is blind bragging about record sales and don't even know they getting pimped!

[ansom01]

mmmmmm... i need to hear this album

[hiphopisknowledge]

yes....you do its nice

[glacierdon]

Classic, classic material........this iz Hip-Hop mutha fuckaz!

[AndreRamone]

Still at the top of his game. KRS is the truth!

[Concuzzzion]

True evidence that Hip-Hop lives

[Taylorhoge]

NYC still is on top!

[JayVenom]

Marly Marl, Krs One. What else can you say? A dream come true. All this needs to come back right now. Hip Hop needs it

[amck72]

My respect to KRS is to the fullest but he needs to add some funkier beats to his great words !!

[hiphopisknowledge]

this beat is ill !!!

[glacierdon]

The beat waz perfect. It matches the topic of the song.

[Shekeese]

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! CRAZY!!!

[thamessiahbg]

BOW DOWN TO THE TEACHA !! SHOW RESPECT !

[ProdSun83]

Here it comes, Here it comes, Here it fucking comes. I been waiting for this educational genius to bring it to us hard. YOU WANNA GET AWAY WITH MURDER, KILL A RAPPER. WOOOOOOOOOO!

[TheMightyJoeGibbs]

OMG- He said it. Say it again KRS...I don't think everyone heard it.

[funkbrother216]

This may be the best thing to happen to hip hop in ages. Hip Hop lives again.

[VinnyF26]

New Krs One album "Hip Hop Lives" produced by Marley Marl coming May 22nd. On 20th anniversary of his first album "Criminal Minded," it's rumored that there will be a BDP reunion on the album along with guest appearnces with Big Daddy Kane, Nas, the Juice Crew, etc. Let's put a REAL Hip Hop album on the charts and cop it the 22nd of May, and give MTV and BET something to talk about....They've been saying what is and what's not for too long, and most of what is is WACK!

[robrien4]

Word up Vinny. I agree.

[hiphopisknowledge]

saw krs one live last nite in philly ...he ..killed ...it !!!!!! niggas lost they minds

[hiphopisknowledge]

DOES THIS MEAN ITS BACK

[hiphopisknowledge]

GOT DAYUM

[BAMBOOLOUNGE]

on point another smash to rock the joint.......

[dmeezy12]

This song is hot, I first heard it a couple of weeks ago on sirius, and that beat will knock with anything out, dAyum Marley marl did a job on this one

[jewels2shine7od]

hiphop G.O.D mc repin the empire!!

[jvcforce1]

another dope beat. those cops ain't found big L's JMJ murderers because they were hired by CIA just like what happened to 2pac and B.I.G? it's the CIA who did it they done the same shit with scott la rock.

[Bloodsport1]

the same way the CIA killed or was part of Macolm, Martin?

[BigHitt]

I can see 2pac, and sort of B.I.G, but i doubt very much that the CIA was a part of Big L's and JMJ's death, or Scott La Rock.

[b000ya]

it's not about the involvement of the state of the police in their death , its about what went after their death , its been more than 15 years since Scott was killed , more than 10 years since pac and big died , more than 5 years since big l and jmj got murdered..Chris Rock said it perfectly " you mean to tell me that they can find saddam hussein in a hole and they cant find who killed biggie and 2pac ".

[nujerseyjersey]

they dont care about black people

[trythisreport2]

man this is good and meaningful but whateva happened to krs? hes still got the same mesage as his old stuff but the music changed! he needs to stick with tha "you must learn" music. i like this though. you gotta recognize!

[neopandorex]

boooooom

[eboyd32]

holy shit. nothing else, just holy shit. this is why marley marl is the greatest producer and krs1 is one of the greatest mcs.

[hiphopisknowledge]

I THINK ITS COMING BACK

[lewisfisher]

It's official, people..... HIPHOP LIVES once again!
