In 2002 we let Nelly style on Krs One on the hottest Eastcoast song out at the time

[FreshandClean]

Krs one at this point is a questionable top 5 of all time

Dude not even in my top 50

 

[choppybeats]

Dude not even in my top 50

i dont really have a list, if i did , it would be two top 10 list
all time and favorite, he might not be on either list
he had his run and im not a dumb 15 yr old kid.. i put lots ahead of him

 

[duckbutta]

the lyrics themselves were so so but it was that KRS seemed to think he could just hate on Nelly and their would be no response and Nelly went right back at his ass

Rappers reacting like Nelly beat up some fukking civil rights hero ...Rappers reacting like KRS was the first black man to live in a white neighborhood...and now the entire neighborhood is black...and the old black man popped off to a young dude and young dude smacked him and everyone ran outside like "why you slap charles like that after everything he done for us? don't you know what he went through"

 

[Bugsmoran]

country grammar better than anything krs1 ever made

 

[Wild self]

That's history being rewritten before your eyes. That is what KRS was fighting against: popular cats that can bend people's memories and forget the significant contributions of the past.

Kris played himself in this scenario (and notably a few others, Bam situation), but that aside, lets not get ahead of ourselves. KRS is a titan of the culture. Criminal Minded is cornerstone album in Hip Hop. His early catalog is dope AF & Nelly is in no way comparable (don't care how many albums he sold).

 

[Piff Huxtable]

KRS shoulda handled his business like LL did with Canibus

 

[Gizza]

This thread has hella quotables, the fuk wrong wit y'all!?!?!

KRS ego got him bodied & now he defending a homsexual pedo. End of his chapter

Nelly still got cheerios commercials,first take, rhoh etc due to his 4 albums in the 00's. good for a top 40 hit every now & then

Alternative facts only on the coli jst cuz he ain't NY

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

Yea but you forgot the fact that Nelly had one of the biggest rap singles ever after the KRS thing along with a double cd that did very well

nelly sold sweat... that shyt sold............................ then suit... that shyt sold......................... then released them together as sweat suit.... that shyt sold
but he was done after dilemma

Reminder

 

[TransJenner]

Remember when KRS Told everyone to boycott Nellys album

 

[FreshandClean]

Remember when KRS Told everyone to boycott Nellys album

And it failed miserably

 

[Waterproof]

West Coast took East Coast Manhood that they never can get back when Nelly dissed Krs One and The East step to the side and act like they don't see it, it was sad to see

 

[Still Benefited]

Nelly bodied that nikka

Nelly > KRS one

This nikka be having me rolling,his post are consistently 50% spot on,and 50% absolutley ridiculous

 

[Mandarin Duck]

This battle was meh in general it was however a foreshadowing of what was to come with regards to more popular rappers getting propped up by their fanbase whether they win or lose.

Fan bases are intolerable most of the time, when their fave wins they become unbearable, but when their fave has to hold that L, the collective amnesia and spin is glorious

However fools getting hyped up over a couple old man jokes from Nelly cant be serious

The irony of this and you dudes in here talking bout KRS didn't lose and he knew Nelly wasn't dissing him he just did it for the culture
