KRS-1 kicks off the show. Nike AF1 25 Year Anniversary

[wazrasta]

not many rappers can actually get on stage and rap and sound like the record they put out. Most dont even sing the majority of the lyrics. KRS ONE CAN.

[emzzdad]

police sometimes commit crimes. hip hop fans and industry commit murder daily, commit rape all day, all night, 24-7, come on ya'll got an attitude like an hip hop lesbian, hip hop fans and industry are disrespectful to the core, arrogant, cynical crackheads that need a 101 lesson in Obama's respect.. Not Obama the prez, not obama the politician but obama the human being.

[hakuice]

@emzzdad Disrespect and arrogance radiate from your comments.

[ampaloutsake4]

why are you doing this krs? why?

[Fallinldols]

yeah thats cool krs is tight but like seriously fuck nike fuck em

[Lizzygreenblatt]

you tube keyword: Temple of Hip Hop

[mike90h]

@Lizzygreenblatt lol

[attilabeats]

well, I go regularly to Indonesia, pay people their collegemoney, and support them where I can, and yes we are all guilty, but we cant control all of our guilt, but being aware of the powerstructure will help in the end,. but because of little shitheads like you who are fashionable ignorant the balance of powers will stay the same.. so speak for yourself when you say you dont care, if I would take your stupidity personal I would mind to shoot you in your fuckin face...but im bigger than that..

[Take2nPass]

Our wealth comes from the suffering of those less fortunate. ANYONE who doesent send half their money to somone who live of 30cents /aday should stfu about poverty in other countrys. personally i cant relate to someone i dont know, 500 miles from me

[attilabeats]

who says I am buying any of these damn nike products?? you take that already for granted because nike is that big all around.. this automatic thinkin got you probably right there.. In my opinion everybody is entitled to give criticism, besides that selfcriticism should be conducted individual in the first place before signals of what ever kind are send out..

[videomission]

Spot on, kaiyeem. I agree.

[kaiyeem]

Do you all know how fucking dumb these comments sound when your reading them. He has been exploited by the rap industry for years with their corporate greed, and yet he still raps and try to send a message out to all those who will listen. The responsibility falls on everyone if you don't like what Nike does to their workers in third world countries, then don't purchase anything that they make. To blame one person who is trying to educate you and take care of his family is insane.

[Jiigzz]

He getting paid. Betcha hes happy

[Zeronombrezleft]

Boom bap original rap, Krs got my respect for the rest of dayz, but the audio!!!!!! Well, Goodbye.

[attilabeats]

fuck NIKE! fuckin multinational slave drivers, still got niggers hooked to spend there last money, fuckin sneakers made by people who have to work for a dollar a day, stop this madness, stop the downward spiral,

AND WHY the FUCK is Krs SUCH an ASS to do THIS?

[goldeneagles2011]

why is one dollar a day better than no dollar a day?

[blackdubsociety]

I hear what you are saying. and that's even if a dollar a day. Though a great artist, it's not the first time he proved himself to be an hypocrit. As for you goldeneagle, do you have idea what kind of abuse some of these people has to put up with for that dollar?And alot of those countries don't have labour laws, so people are lucky if they even get paid.

[barryon]

Hypocrit is right!! He didn't even turn up for 2 shows in dublin because of a dispute over pay and by not turn up i mean at the last minute. So his fans were waiting in the venue!!

Real fucking left wing idiology there!!!

[boomshel23]

@ barryon- Unless you know all the details of why he didn't perform for those 2 shows you shouldn't be he complaining about it. Do you think he just decided for no reason at all to not do the shows?

[barryon]

How do you think i shouldn't be complaining. When i bought a ticket and stood their twice waiting for him to perform . I have the right to complain about it. At the end of the day the guy is a hypoccrit. He preaches about repression and racial segregation but he does a promo gig for a company proven to use child labour (alleged slavery).

Listen man i was just making a point about the character of the guy. He obviously isn't the squeeky clean left wing idealist that he claims to be!!

[boomshel23]

For all you know there could have been issues with the promoter/club /booking agent that hindered his ability to perform. For example, last minute bait and switch moves in an attempt to strong arm artists, or dealing with shady promoters who don't pay full amounts to artists for their performances. If you think that shouldn't stop an artist from performing than you haven't walked in their shoes. You can bitch and moan but since you don't know the full situation, don't blame KRS1.

[broseph127]

strange how a rapper of krs's magnitude and intelligence would rock a show promoting a corporate company that has exploited his own people for decades.

weird

[behinddacurtain]

is nike still doin cheap labour

[plugexpert]

someone, throw a grenade in that crowd.

[Jrobinson2009]

"MC List" you gotta see that video

[Werd2thaWyze99]

yo sho the teacha more love than that

when i saw him live i dont think there was one person who didnt leave bruised up, people were so excited

[patriot4life28]

Its funny how this legend flows for a corporation like nikey who in turn uses slave labor to make shoes

[KILLAKnigga]

lame ass crowd

fresh ass kicks

a great old school MC

[attilabeats]

perhaps you should think a bit more about the slaves who manufacture these ´fresh ass kicks´ fourteen hours a day before u decide its ´so cool´ to wear nike...

[Take2nPass]

i hate people like you.. hypocrite... its like.. why dont you send half your money every mounth and feed 10 of those kids? i tell you why you dont.. cause you dont really give a fuck. and yet you pretend to have sympathy? keep not buying nike.. and feel rightous... lol. in the western world we are all equally guilty! and honestly, who cares?

[trukid425]

KRS ONE the greatest of the live show & lyrical infinance

[arzell]

Party people in tha place to be, KRS-ONE attack/You got dropped off MCA 'cuz the rhymes you wrote was whack!

[Hilikus3434]

[TitanSkillz]

[czupryna87]

boogie down productions - south bronx

[Hilikus3434]

krs-one attacks from return of the boom bap

[wastajancrow]

krs 1 a livin legend so underestemated, when people think of hiphop he should be the man they all see.

[emzzdad]

@wastajancrow krs1crackhead a livin crackhead ythat is sooooooooo overestimated. Think of hip hop he should be the man we all see as someone who was homeless that would have done anything for a scrumptious cupcake.

[r4tmfan]

shit...looked like half the crowd didnt even know who he was...

[osmanarazay]

adam yapıyo yafff

[emceemaka]

Makadoutious. KRS One should never be judged. His longevity speaks for itself. Compare him to anyone else and if you are intelligent, you will find no comparision. One.

[jayblaze145]

"Truth Behind Hip Hop" - google or youtube it!

[ateamga]

Yeah it is Bull Shit!

[yandiggles]

not cool KRS, what happened to you anti-globalisation regime, for shame.

[ipalindromei]

man, i'm disappointed that krs would be sponsored by nike.

[CrossBre3d]

he is sponsored by nike??.. No he is doing a show for nike..Because AF1 are a big deal to many hip hop heads. If he was sponsored by nike he would he wouldnt be allowed to make any CDs unless they were poppey and krs one is not gonna do that..

[raph21]

yous stupid or what?he just doin a show for nike to give respect to the best shoes nike ever had

[theshadowboy607]

awesome

[dtla1730]

And "South Bronx" is important because it's the birthplace of Hip Hop and he was there for that. So this's like "pearls to swine".

[dtla1730]

KRS One is a rapper's rapper. This guy is a Hip Hop Jedi but like any other American he needs money. So I can understand. But I'm mad at "South Bronx". He could've broken open a freestyle that'd have had that place RIOTING but he's throwing up an oldie but goodie here for people who act like they don't appreciate who's performing for them.

[babyrasta661]

wats tha name of this song

[Sdachkhmer]

South Bronx

[liverpool80000seater]

KRS 1 internationally known

[Pantore]

WTF KRS?

Not good...

[theinfamouscamXXII]

I bet that was the first time the majority of the crowd heard South Bronx. There are rap fans like us who were probably more deserving of being in attendance than those rich businessmen/women who probably thought KRS was some part-time hypeman for Kanye

[Rapid1212]

Check out my blog on mc's I love!.

[JmsRad23]

let us recall that KRS was sporting nikes back int he criminal minded days, he was wearing nike and dissing mc shan for wearing puma....we need a history lesson

[devzor162]

i love krs-one although that is a valid point..

[larrelove]

im drunk

[soakchips]

Nike = slave labor  wtf KRS

[anw4eva]

hey man e crowd need to read up even a asian here knows about him.

[sarah12333]

i think the crowd are deceased...

[r4tmfan]

man that crowd is DEAD! They are probably like "whats a KRS-ONE?"

[roboshuffle]

It's a Nike party. Half the crowd probably doesn't even know who KRS is. They're standing around eating cheese and crackers thinking, "Oh. It's a rapper. This is rap music. He must be a new up-and-coming artist."

[Pitbulls928]

I hate spam but i hate 50 cent more

50 CENT IS FUCKING UP HIP HOP!!His lyrics are wack,he grabs his balls more than he raps,and he makes hip hop look bad.Listen to real MCs like Nas,Mos Def,Talib Kewli,Dead Prez,Redman,Biggie,Tupac,or even some of the better mainstream rappers like Lupe Fiasco,Kanye West,Chamillionare etc.

Post this message again on another hip hop video to spread the truth!Stop shitty cent from fucking up hip hop!

[theinfamouscamXXII]

You still have to agree that 50 is better than Ja-Rule

[droer76]

wot the FUCK has that got to do with KRS the don ?????? who gives a fuck about 50 or ja-rule just you ??????

[theinfamouscamXXII]

My comment was actually a reply to someone elses who had left a comment concerning the 50 Cent/Ja Rule beef so next time read everything before you jump to conclusions dumbfuck...

[theinfamouscamXXII]

One more thing: you haven't really contributed jackshit to youtube bar your ignorant, unitelligent comments. You obviously didn't register to post videos, only to sit back and talk shit.

[infamuzblayze]

lmaoooooooooooooooolol

[KINGSHABAZZGODALLAH]

SONG IS CALLED SOUTH BRONX

[fullfadeway9]

whats this song called?

[grgrgrgff]

jesus this is sad. i guess krs gotta eat though...

[louisgdehaut]

selling out? you are selling out my friend... KRS is too big too rap for this crowd... I mean the average rapper would have been crushed by this type of no reaction from the crowd, but still managed to keep it up and still. What a great man on a mission.

[tubepeak]

KRS-ONE

knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone.

[parfazitu]

KRS ONE thruly the real, the best and the #1

[KEYBEATZ]

Hip Hop lives!!!!!!!!! Best album of the year! And KRS One the greatest EMCEE of all time, YOU SUCKAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eboyd32]

KRS ONE'S "HIP HOP LIVES" COMES OUT ON TUESDAY!!! EVERYBODY BUY lT.

[VinnyF26]

Krs-One-New album Hip Hop lives May 22nd. Who's joining the movement and buying the album? There's a million of us and only hundreds of them (wackass radio djs, television, etc). Think about it how good would it be to turn on the wackass radio and hear that Kris killed it in the first week. Let's put a Real emcee and Hip Hop album on the charts. Let US say what is and what's not in Hip Hop! I mean how many people really are feelin garbage like weezy, jeezy, and UNK?

[NeoPoetess]

I'm buying it!! KRS ONe is truly the godfather of hip hop.

[jumpnjza2]

come on krs...fight the power!!!...nike uses sweatshop labour homie!!

[GrapefruityTikbit]

ain't many companies don't use sweatshop labour, jumpnjza; not 'less you buyin' from Mountain Equipment Co-op, or some shit. Ain't no way to get away from it. Nike are just tha main scapegoat

[louisgdehaut]

KRS knowa what he's doing, he the teacher.. now try to look a little deeper into this, and you might understand why he's doing it anyway.. here's a hint; you saw him rap and bring a message just now didn't you. now fuck Nike and shit..

[blanenbishop]

may22nd hiphop lives cant wait thanks for posting that info krs one gangstarr rakim forever atl killin real hiphop with this bubble gum wack bull shit sorry but true

[debbieretreage]

I think the stupidest thing I ever seen is 50 cents on stage performing with a Bullet Proof Vest. I mean if you're that paranoid stay home. It's not a fashion statement its sad.

[debbieretreage]

First of all 50 cents is slow and should be in Special Ed classes. KRS ONE can show anybody in the rap game some knowledge he is not about pimps ho's and money he makes sense and alot of the others dont.

[J1fromtheBX]

NY stand up! Hip-Hop stand up! if you know what hip hop is if u live and breath this like i do! stand up ! the south is tryin to kill it we gone bring it back! search dj justone support that quit hatin the south response! I'm standin up for hip hop stand with me!!!

[Arvisco]

KRS ONE still the best

[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!

[pastense]

I know this goes against hip-hop's values, but ironically, within this culture we call hip-hop is a very very very striving sneakerphile/sneakerheads/shoe­freaks/hypebeasts, whatever u wanna call it movement. And Nike happens to be an extremely important part of it, if not THE most revered brand among sneakerfreaks. So don't tell me fly-gear was never a part of hip-hop. And what big name doesn't use sweatshops these days?

[VinnyF26]

New Krs-One album "Hip Hop Lives" coming May 22nd. Rumored to be a BDP and Juice Crew reunion on the album. Lots of guest appearances, Daddy Kane, juice crew etc...

[lboogie75]

[pakigangsta44]

south bronx, south south bronx

[loadske321]

Now uv started readin dis dunt stop. This is so scary. Send this to 5 ova videos in 143 minutes. When ur done press F6 and ur crushes name will appear on the screen in big letters. This is scary cause it actually works. If u break the chain u will have problems with relations p.s for the next five years x-x-x

[thabuckguy]

got Nikes on my feet and to be complete I can rock an American or a reggae beat

[philscafe]

Regarding people saying it's bad for people in the game to endorse brands like Nike. You are being totally unrealistic. By legitimate means he is putting food on the table for his girl, and making lives better for his kids and family. You can't fault a man for that. But better days will come when brothers front their own companies. KRS, RAKIM and co. Make your money & invest to start your own co with real talented cats. Half the stuff out today is weak weak wack. Where Marly Marl and 45 king at?

[screech12]

JIN SUCKS, he is no compereson, i seen him get dissed bad from canadian emcees. Everyone thinks hes good because he battled on BET. PLEASEEEE!!!

Do your home work and start digging

[rorjr99]

As for selling out... that means everyone should turn down endorsements, because someone is getting over on other people somehow (and if they aren't exploiting someone now, they will later if they blow-up).

That starving artist shit is outdated, there are already too many brothas starving... KRS and Rakim, get your's it's long overdue!

[philscafe]

BackcourtRec, what do you know about hip hop. Every hip hop magazine, and major MC & producer in the game will put KRS1 in the top 5 of all time. He helped put hip hop on the map. How deep is your music collection. You need to look at r2000 because hip hop started way back before then. You cannot classify an artist to be great becaus he is out today. Ali became great for what he did over many years. Rakim, Biggie, Kane, Tupac, Naz are the consistent GODs of the hip hop game.

[rorjr99]

Nice point... though I wish Pac would have stayed with Trapped/Holla If You Hear Me mindset...

[pakigangsta44]

yea he went overboard after that

[pastense]

wait...i think you read BackCourtRec's comment wrong. He was acknowledging why KRS was opening instead of headlining.

[seth250]

spider loc nice but we know how krs one get down aint he smash nelly i dont think a emcee like krs one gotta worry bout a rapper like spider loc

[sphynx620]

KRS is legendary

[dbsteinb]

worst crowd ever

[naturewalkz]

it was a DAMN shame for Krs1 to attend and be a part of this wicked ass Nike slaveshop running show...black people gots ta stop wearing Nike!!! as well as everyone else!!!

for blacks to have gone thru slavery and to still support a slave institution???

DAMN yall WAKE THE -UCK UP!!

[FightNightLegend]

KRS 1 Gotta' eat too homey!

[apacheslim]

yeah but krs one already got food to eat

[hiphopisknowledge]

so I guess we should all be necked -Nike is as much apart of hiphop as the Kangol. Materializm always been apart of hiphop but now its the focus and shouldnt be -all industries are slave industrys even the NBA ....so let'em eat /him attending will not stop that ..besides Nike does give back ..playgrounds in the hood etc

[geolog12]

KRS-One South Bronx

[rorjr99]

Boogie Down Productions - The South Bronx

You can find it on the Criminal Minded album. Great album!

[QUINDEROGA]

What is the name of this song?

[QUINDEROGA]

What is the name of this song?

[rorjr99]

Too many idiots in this world think that G-Unit is what hip-hop is about. Suckas got very little original material, they don't provoke thought or action, and they can't freestyle. Droppin' n-words and a cuss word every other word ain't freestylin', it shows lack of vocabulary.

Long live KRS-One!

[hiphopisknowledge]

true...

[vfredc123]

JIN

[rorjr99]

Jin is nice... Though, unfortunately for him, look at the cats he battles and who is considered hip-hop. Not much competition, though it would be interesting to see how he would come off in the presence of Common or Mos Def... they are far above avg. rhymesayers and freestylist. It's like comparing LBJ, Melo or Wade and their era to MJ, Bird and Magic and their era. Not too many Hall of Famers coming out this current generation when it is all said and done :(

[apacheslim]

its all about the produceers thats why 50 cent is famous cause hes got good producers as a rapper he like thousands sry millions of other both poor and rich

[VinnyF26]

MFSilversideOxide-What are you smokin? Krs is the greatest of all time. There ain't anybody, especially in our wackass ice age present that could touch him. Especially in G-Unit. What are you talkin about?

[gwizzz36]

word Knowledge Rules Supreme Over Nearly Everybody....especially he lack of thought MCs of today I.E. g-unit. obviously these kids are retarded

[WuTangKillaBee]

Nice, KRS-One is dope.

[cozemkfym]

fuk nike, but NOBODY can fuk wit KRS

[boredpinoykegan]

...?

i dont even know why i watched this video....

[bugsyg]

Krs= greatest of all time. Nike is huge part is hip hop culture. Why do you think "uptowns" have been a best selling shoe for years with no advertisement? The day Krs raps about subjects that perpetuate negative stereotypes of black men, is the day he becomes a sellout. Until then, shut the fuck up. Get paid KRS!!

[bfaller]

KRS wasn't sellin out to the man...the brother needs to put food on the table too (that and K-Fed canceled at the last minute).

[KuramaElo]

lol.

[AZNASJZ]

krs said way back that he only rocks nikes not reebok!learn your history before you dis one of the g.o.a.t.Hes still a better mc and performer than half the shit thats out today.

[waysub]

I dont wear adidas cause my name aint Run got Nikes on my feet and to be complete I can rock an American or Reggae beat. No Doubt he's still #1

[naturewalkz]

NIKE=SLAVE/SWEATSHOP!!!

[DMWI]

guess krs-one wants some more publicity.

[crazyb4566]

Like ever other emcee does..if u get krs-one out u get knowledge out..to many people think being on T.V is some kind of sell out

[hiphopisknowledge]

NAH he was invited/ nikle wants more pub

[AzraelG]

NIKE sponsoring KRS-1? What's going on? Nike feeling guilty for paying 3cents an hour to their workers in thailand?

[FASMEBSR]

Komercialism Really Sucks Over Nike Equipment

what a sad day for hip hop

[chillyche]

hahaha. I know, right? KRS, what are you DOING!?

[djkcd]

KRS-1 (Knowledge Reigns Supreme over Everyone!)

[fyren84]

KRS-One will pretty much destroy...most M.C.s at the moment.

[MFSilverOxide]

KRS-ONE could get pulverized by SpiderLoc of G-Unit in today's age.

[rorjr99]

WTF???

True new-

[crayyawn]

your an idiot. i dont even need to explain.

[naturewalkz]

actually, u should...IF their is a good explanation for ur no water holding comment!

NIKE IS A SLAVESHOP USING NEGRO INSTITUTION!!!

[crayyawn]

MFSilverOxide (1 month ago)

KRS-ONE could get pulverized by SpiderLoc of G-Unit in today's age.

i dont need to explain why this guy is an ignorant self-proclaimed hip hop fan.

[outthetube]

crayyawn you an absolute retard for even mentioning G-Unit in the presence of KRS-ONE. I mean your comments are too stupid to be even taken seriously.

[crayyawn]

are you retarded.. i was posting what another guy said you moron, and saying he was a dumbass. open your little eyes before you talk chink

[outthetube]

My bad, I read too fast for my own good. I am so absolutely sorry!!!

[apacheslim]

G unit can suck my dick who the fuck thinks the ghettos or favelas are cool fuckin putos , truthfully the people who like Gunit are insecure or fuckin mental the mental r the psychos in the projects and the insecure are the ones not in the ghetto

[hiphopisknowledge]

[BackcourtRec]

Since when does KRS-ONE kick off a show (dont even tell me this dude was an opener)? LOL!
