Kris is by far the original teacha. Between him, Rakim, and Chuck D. they made us as a people think first. Like he said rappers spit rhymes that are illegal, MC spit rhymes to uplift the poeple.
KRS is a great MC. Loves gonna get you was right on time. Actually it was before its time. Love has lots of our people in this day in time. Classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beside Eric B and 2 Pac.. this has to be one of the greatest songs in rap history with the most famous verses in a song.." I go upstairs and hug my mother, kiss my sister and punch my brother" .... " My sister is cute but she got no gear I got three pairs of pants and with my brother I share" I do it once, I do it twice, now theres steak with the beans and rice... lol..classic!! you wont hear verses like this nomore.. Legendary!!
This man Kris parker is far more than a revolution in music I saw him 2008 at the jazz cafe and it was a genuine epochal event truly moving. People like this are so rare they dont just produce great art they touch your soul spirit and very existence !!!
All guys in this era owe dues to guys like KRS and countless other pioneers of 'real' hip-hop. True to life experience based on the strugle of a specific group of people that express it so skillully, because they have lived it....Peace
This is one of the most empowerin poetry that any brain has the honor of absorbin... not to mention, the story is on some Slick Rick, Nas, Biggie type stuff. KRS is definitely in my top 10, personally: 1. Nas, Black Dove, and Cormega, 2. Talib Kweli, 3. Immortal Technique, 4. AZ, 5. Tupac and Common, 6. Dead Prez, 7. Kool G. Rap, 8. Mos Def and Big L, 9. KRS 1, & 10. Slick Rick (Rick The Ruler). "Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone" (KRS 1)... yes indeed.
Big L is the best rapper I ever heard that no one outside of New York really knows about. I am from Texas and a friend of mine from New York turned me on to him. Sad to see how he died too soon.
@aktxag alot of people know about Big L if you really hip hop you know about Diggin In The Crates. Fat Joe always shout him out. He was on the Terror squad album the track was called "Bring em back" I got all his stuff. That joint ebonics was classic!
This should have at least a million views. It's sad people would rather listen to 50 cent. Not taking credit away from 50, "Get Rich Or Die Trying" is a classic, buy KRS-one has at least 5 classics.
People cant respect good music. im 15 and i ant got one song of lil wanes bull shit. Everybody today likes a flashey beat with no lyrical content. Its all just the same words repeated the whole dam song. and old school shit bumps in the system
see the thing about krs one.. is people hate.. because he had his chance to be just another rapper talking about violence and drug dealing or gang banging.. but he was able to wise up and start a new mission of enlightening people about the problems in not just music.. but mass media.. polotics.. law and order.. if it wasnt for people like krs one.. i woulda never wrote Mumias prison adress to give him letters of support.. im a 20 year old weast coast graffiti artist who apreciates the realest..
@DinoVice one of the brightest rap star is 2pac he was a poet.. i love watching his interviews he really wasnt a true gangsta he wrote about what he saw in his community
This song is about becoming obsessed with material items and the people who do everything they can to obtain them. Any pair of human hands can build and mould things like money, clothes, and cars; but human relationships, such as the protagonist's with his mother and siblings, are built on things unseen and untouchable. I've always been familiar with this song, but it's only in the past few minutes that I've come to appreciate it. I wish that'd happened before. Love got me.
Real shit
