At what age did you realize KRS-One was a smart-dumb dude?

[Cladyclad]

He made me like Nelly. That shyt was just pure hate on why he dissed Nelly. Never liked him since

 

[skokiaan]

Dude just be rhyming random shyt together like

“See this is black expression,
HIP HOP is a black invention
Open up your third eye
Reality is conception
Everything is one
The astral plane is projected
Transcendental meditation
We are ALL connected”

Who says anything that hasn’t been said

Knock the noses of the pyramid head

To which that man has bed

Is our planet not rock

That is the HIP to our HOP

 

[Living Bait]

since i noticed him talking about hip hop bibles and hip hop schools and stuff.....

seeing himself as the head master it would seem....

 

[Ake1725]

1989

 

[The Guru]

He rambles with great confidence. That's what makes it so entertaining/grating to listen to.

 

[SNYC]

1989

One of my teachers in junior high played this vid for the class.

Had all of us like

 

[PCHMalibu]

Krs one is the goat. Tap in more. He gave you the cheat code.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Goofy Nikkaz shyt on Black music legends all the time and trash their legacy then walk around with band t shirts from cacs that haven't been relevant since before they were born. Just showing the lack of value for "the culture"

Yeah KRS can be lame but we not invalidating everything he ever did as a result. Cut the bullshyt.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Not understanding what someone is talking about can cut two ways

Either the person doesn't make sense in the first place

Or

They are going way over your head with ideas too complex for you to understand

KRS is not the pinnacle of smarts or anything but I have heard him say plenty of intelligent things.

I didn't like him at first either. But I was 15 and didn't really understand some things yet.

 

[WaveGang]

Them Early 2000s hip hop documentarys, homie talks contrived like them muslims tryna sound like they have wisdom.

 

[Luke Cage]

nikka refused to take a pic with me.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

When he said he didn’t care about bumbaataa molesting kids

 

[Threnody]

When KRS the same cat that exposed the truth on "You Must Learn" to a generation of black kids made a damn Christian album

He's the definition of knowledge without wisdom he thinks all knowledge is good and respects everything

which is why he can defend a sick fukk that messes with kids he's a complete sociopath if you stand for everything you stand for nothing

He worships knowledge itself, hip-hop itself he had the juice at one point and walked away from it because he has no understanding or moral compass

According to Scott La Rock jr ....KRS-ONE is a great emcee...Lawrence Parker is a piece of shyt

 

[pawdalaw]

I stanned dude up until his boom bap album. Afterwards the delusions of grandeur kicked in.
"By Any Means Necessary" > most of yall fav albums that you call Hip Hop.

 

[King Poetic]

Once the whole Nelly shyt started and he started doing more interviews, I realized he was doing to much putting hip hop into everything
