Rakim, Nas, Kanye, KRS1 on stage together at Nike AF1 25 Yea

[citizenzombie]

Someone go tell Kanye to sit the fuck down, shut up and learn something.

[MrJazzHOP]

Damn, Rakim went hard on this - just his flow is disarming: his delivery is off-the-map DOPE! Every phrase is punctuated with his signature internal rhyme skillz, and SWAG. This brother really is God MC.

[hc301271]

only rakim is allowed to call out krs-one

[BeenaBee]

its disgraceful to hip hop for Kanye to be up there, look at that faggot only saying shit n putting his hand up when KRS is rocking the mic, 1:10 - 1:16....

[goldenage101]

@BeenaBee Kanye did rap and he spit a dope ass verse. So many haters man I swear.

[citizenzombie]

@goldenage101 Why is it "hating?" Is there a law that says people have to like OR respect Kanye West? If you're 20, you might not quite yet know what a "dope ass verse" is.

[emzzdad]

why does hip hop parents allow their children to absorb the lyrics, oh the struggle, they must know the struggle oh the poor struggle, that's everyone hellooooooo, Lil kim, tupac, wtf are you crackheads doing don't you know what happens to your kids when they absorb this shit from birth, do you know? they disrespect their angry, hateful, they love girls withm 3 tits, they will respect that..wtf you pieces of shit crackheads doing to your children?

[Wymiar1]

yeaaah Big L still here!!!!!!!!!!!

[cdavistp]

fuck yeah 0:59

Big L R.I.P.

[Kasselnordstadtpower]

Kanye West - "pay to play" :-)

[BeenaBee]

haha look at kanye trying to collect real hip hop points

[Nomis2779]

Ahahahaha I was thinking the same thing!

[henry7515]

when legends rap ...bitch ass mufukers listen(wayne and nem)

[buzkmeyster]

whats kanye doing there? he should stick to producing..

[LionRingMouth]

he should stick to fucking up at the VMAs so there are at least some funny pics on the internets

[Hannibalscousin]

Kanye is something different now, not sure how some of this stuff he is making is Hip Hop.

Some pop shit, creative but just not Hip Hop.

[2cool0]

@Hannibalscousin yeah some of it is pop but the rest is still amazing to listen too

[ellisydney88]

kanye is definatley growing a big head in his newfound popularity.

anyone got the full version of this gig

[BassBeatsProductions]

kanye is a good artist,producer, and rapper but he is a terrible singer.

[nitrus202]

lol u can tell the crowd had no clue who the hell rakim is...if i was ther i would have stuck out like a sore thumb becouse id be spasn out so much becouse i was sein rakim...any person who thinks kayne west is good is a dumb ass he needs a vocoder.....lil wayne is a dumb ass no one likes him after a milli he just got dumb....soulja bouy got horible after crank that..... fuckin bird walk wtf is that

[Chhaz215]

Kanye Is a FAG!!

[kool4eva]

wheres the official video for this? no one recorded a better quality?

[GroenGeleSer]

Let me first of say this, Kanye is an awesome producer, his work is of exceptional quality at times, but the people on stage there with him are legendary MCs, kanye is far from one. Also the other 3 are hip hop, kanye is more like hip pop, which sounds almost the same, which in some ways resemble eachother, but are two completely different things nonetheless

[MzeeDala]

yeah that is what thought...i don't why the fuck he stood there. he songs no longer got message, these days he is doing songs because money, he doesn't care about the message

[GeniusHood]

yup... and i'd like to add that after Kanye compared Soulja Boi to Nas, I lost total respect for him and what his opinion on anything is... I think people put a "crown" on him WAY too fast.

[SpraxIAKS]

Obviously Kanye is up there as Rakim and KRS have recognized him as somebody good.

[labratmusic]

you can have success but if you handle correctly, you can still be on top of the game twenty years later. Rakim and KRS1 are legends.

[okocharuud]

Y is kanye there, he isnt hiphop mayne

[GeniusHood]

Kanye is Hip Hop no matter what people say... unfortunately, he's an idiot who yaps too much garbage and totally threw away everything he was "supposedly" about.

[okocharuud]

u got a point there, i aint no hater but i prefer the kanye of the college dropout era, than nowadays

[GeniusHood]

same here... before he compared Soulja Boy to Nas and called Lil Wayne a "God".

[okocharuud]

word, i couldn't believe him comparing soulja boy to nas when it comes to creativity lmao....

[buckie0201]

well it takes alot of creativity to compare joulja boy to nas....alot

[The1AndOnlyAP01]

Is the audio not working for anybody else?

[crayziest29]

real hip hop(rap) vs. commercial mainstream rap.. . . is no question who i support. . . . "DA real hip hop is over here" yeah fuck mainstream,comercilize, what eva happend to spittin about real life real shit,. . . .NOT about how many cars u have, how many, chains u have, .mainstream comercial shit dey all sound da same to me. . ..  real hip hop in da oda hand it represent da purest form of free speach, protestant genere pointin at does critical social issues

[sicilian410]

true

[ohmaurrfish]

st0000000pid

not all mainstream is fake shit, sure it may suck, but you've got to see it in a different perspective

i can name plenty of mainstream cats with a pretty good style & flows & if they had Premier type of beats, everyone would embrace them like Hip Hop saviours

and you CAN'T say something sucks because they embrace chains, cars, rich-life, drugs, hustlin', & bitches

there are PLENTY of cats from the old school & today who spoke about all of those!

[HeavyMetalJack]

old school cats that talk about fame and money were tempted for the mainstream and sold out for the new school shit

[louisgdehaut]

this crowd is wack...

[WeMustBeStopped]

Why does it cutoff?? KRS1 is just getting going, and I'm sure there's more to that show

[bbatts]

IM 19 and i witnessed the fall of hip hop and u know who deserves props for that? The boy hova im more into nas myself but if it wasnt for jayz dissing nas in the very first place nas' album hhid would have never happened and now we got this whole movement. I predict hip hop vs commercial rap war very soon very very soon.

[Blastthemic]

And who will win commercail rap ofcourse.

Il tell u why..

MC'z don't like beef they are here to teach

Not fight...So if it happens (That i predict it won't) Commercial rap will win..

Sorry just how it is...

[kennboy1]

Maybe your right... But Nas is an MC and he made Ether and just schooled jay z (lol), real Hip Hop might just pull an ETHER on commercial rap.

I'm waiting for that day...

[Blastthemic]

haha! word!

[elliotness1011]

Check out the new youtube show. The Chillspot. Send in questions to debate about hiphop music and artist. Also request videos. Just click on the name! Peace..

[Rox3011]

um i could have sworn lil wayne said " IAM THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE" so obviously he saying he a rapper

[dsig05]

actually lil wayne doesnt think he is hip hop. he even says he isnt a rapper. get your shit straight. why you think he always laughin when he spits? cause hes just havin fun, hes rich, he dont give a fuck.

[crayziest29]

lil wayne is garbage, he aint hip hop of course he got dat straight, his rich beacause of bullshit ignorant modafuckers like u who buy his bullshit music, he is notin but a comercial studio ass wanna be mc,all cash money suckkz

[Sirfunnyma]

wooooooooo preach!!!!

[louisgdehaut]

word up

[Blastthemic]

Well FUCK YOU THEN!

KRS1 Is a MC

Lil Wayne is A rapper so why the fuck are u puttin this shit on this page!?

If u don't like lil wayne TELL HIM!

And if u cant SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[delasoulsgood]

This is honestly one of the greatest freestyles ive ever heard

[exedy1234]

Jin is good, these guys are trash to him. Jin is the MC

[PCproductions]

exedy1234, jin has some lyric skills, but u cannot classify these rap legends as "trash" to him

[rottenpoop23]

lol jin is like one of the worst. rakim was freestylin at the beginin. Rakim is #1 in the world. krs1 is #2 kanye west is not on the charts lol. nas would prolly be #8. #3 is Das EFX. Search "lyrics of fury" That song is a diss freestyle. It is named the best freestyle/lyrics ever recorded or even said

[rottenpoop23]

tehrealdj there is a such thing as real hop hop. Real hiphop is showin how u can come up with lyrics out of nowhere. Fake hiphop is talkin bout money, drugs , hoes, cars, jewelry or whatever else there is u nawmean? People like lil wayne and young jeezy think they are hiphop but they are makin thereselves look stupid. dont tell me i dont know what im talkin about because i can discrace all of lil waynes and jeezys songs with one freestyle. NOT WRITTEN.

[rottenpoop23]

tehrealdj yo u are right as hell about lil wayne. Some people think hes the best rapper in the world and im like lets be serious. They dont know what real hip hop is. Its rediculous how they think they are hip hop. Yea and we need to start reppin it FTW. Show dem mafuckas we aint goin out like no suckas. Fuck dat drug and hoes shit dis is real hip hop from Brooklyn to Japan

[tehrealdjcrossfire]

there aint no such thing has real hip hop coz its all music. how ever this is BULLSHIT MUSIC fulstop and waine would be that.. but the easyiest way to break it down is sayen real hip hop.. but we need to evolve or it will die.. not evolve completely we still mafuken hip hop... but we need to start reppen more, creating new sounds not copying other people,graffiti all day everyday haha u no wat i mean.. hip hop is a culture which lil wayne nos nuthen about.. and most rappers never will

[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!!!

[jkwon337]

Lil' Wayne?

Why Would He Even Be In This Conversation?

If You Truly Think That Lil' Wayne Is "The Best Rapper Alive" The You Have No Voice In This Conversation.

Since Obviously You Probably Some 13 Year Old Kid That Doesn't Know What Real Hip Hop Is.

[jofred12345]

hey im 13 and i kno what real HIP-HOP is and its definatley not lil wayne. its more like the ppl in these videos BELIEVE IT

[TeenaGeThug259]

LIL WAYNE IS BULLSHIT

[MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

What "innovation" is Lil' Wayne responsible for? I got time... I'm waiting... Okay, now that is over. I am glad that uninspired rappers are getting paid. That way, I don't have to worry about them breaking into my house and stealing my gear. If Lil Wayne was one of the best rappers alive I would at least have some of his music somewhere in my house. His ryhmes are never inventive and he sounds like he gets his throat SANDED DAILY!

[mzSTrAwBerrY3o5]

LIL WAYNE DA BEST RAPPER ALIVE

[gamb1t]

for big l and scott la rock. yeeeea. fuck that fake lil wayne hip hop shit. this is the real shit

[PissleFly]

Shit man, your not gettin the message their try´na send...

stop tearin shit apart

[kva5004]

yeah he gets emotional but 95% of yall still loves LIL wayne and BABY after they give you proof those guys KIss ONT THE LIPS(not trying to insult any1 or insinuate that they are GAY) just saying that there aint nutin wrong w/ the nigg crying....that shows he aint like those other fucks who act all hard but act girly behind the scenes....

[amck72]

That pic of LIl Wayne and Baby was straihgt up GAY. No other way you can see that nasty pic ! Its as bad as a man saying he fucks another man`s ass and he aint gay !

[kva5004]

since he is the bet one well that represents an MC in our era unless you doubt KRS-1 when he said RAPPERS SPIT LINES THAT ARE MOSTLY ILLEGAL, MCS SPIT RHYMES TO UPLIFT THEIR PPLES...someone tell me that's NOT WHAT K-WEST BEEN FUCKING DOING EVERYTIME HE SPEAKS. PLEASE GIVE THE MAN HIS RESPECT...CUZ he aint bussing gats or dealing or no felonies dont make a man soft....

[kva5004]

since he is the bet one well that represents an MC in our era unless you doubt KRS-1 when he said RAPPERS SPIT LINES THAT ARE MOSTLY ILLEGAL, MCS SPIT RHYMES TO UPLIFT THEIR PPLES...

[aceke1]

these four legends on 1 stage..

unbelievable!

[dodowilliams]

kanye is not a legend

[LondonSECrip]

kanye west?? fuck son he ain`t shit

[HelenasHero]

Jay z is not missing. He doesn't deserve to be on the same stage. I liked Rakim's verse the best =D

[ln4mant]

yea all minus wack ass kane west tore it the fuck up! thank god there was no wack ass gay zee around! but unfortunately kane west has the wackness of 2 people to make up for it, damn.

[SageofSorrow]

I say Rakim had the best verse. Damn I can't wait till he comes back out.

[vipkiller123]

word to that....

[TouchTheSky07]

The 3 Greatest MC's of all time on one stage, plus one of the best Rap producers?!? God-damn, this is some historic s**t right here! The only one missing is Jay-Z!

[YOthebayslaps]

jay-Z? the only one missing is Biggie.

With Mannie Fresh in the background producing a beat as they rap to it

[hiphopisknowledge]

um -mannie fresh nah-premo /pete rock -from dif era ..better era better producers -classic dudes

[k3n12ock]
