Is it me, or is KRS-ONE fukkin horrible

[Big Mel]

AND Krs has arguably the hottest verse on the new Tony Touch return of the 50 MCs album.

Pretty obnoxious thread...whats the point of ridiculing a rapper who has had a critically acclaimed career that spanned decades, if you're a hip hop head?

I can understand not personally liking KRS, especially given how fans tend to only value the here and now, but to call him terrible and all that? Thats just pathetic.

And Nelly was always a pop rapper. He was most certainly the Flo-rida and Pitbull of his day.

flo-rida & pitbull make music for white clubs. nelly chit back in the day was urban. his 1st video was a minimal-budget hood video made for rap city and hoping to maybe get some "jam zone" spins off the catchiness of it. and the 2nd video was in the same vein despite all the units the LP was pushing. yall buggin in here man.

Why do you focus on the early career of Nelly's, and compare that to the later career's of Flo and Pitbull? All three started off catering to the urban market. When all three gained popularity, they tailored their music, exclusively, to pop music sensibilities.

Nelly was virtually a template that Flo-rida followed.

the only person who is the recipient of an L, is yo goof lame ass that missed the krs response that bodied Nelly.

nikka, you not even qualified to speak on a battle if you never heard all the disses.
In other words stfu,...

Turns out most people never heard them joints. Thats why KRS One was lookin all salty in that Beef documentary talking about how it was "all Nelly"

KRS the reason these rappers be tryna drop knowledge now wtf op

Plus this nikka made Hip-Hop for all 4 aspects of Hip-Hop. nikka had graffiti music, breaker music, turntable music, and just MC music. He the Professor for a reason.

EDIT: the whole battle just demonstrated Nelly didn't know anything about hip-hop. Look at how upset he sounded in that radio interview after KRS dissed him. Does he not understand what battling is, or how KRS had paved his career? Emcees take shots at each other. Instead, he went the typical suburban white teenage girl route in his response, which was more or less "na na nana na, Im hot your a hater" as if that is what this as a genre was founded on. Breh got mad that people were hating on his skills, and responded by doing nothing to defend the accusation that he wasn't skilled.

how the hell did krs-one pave the way for nelly's career?

the bolded is basically what the beef was based on actually. so yea, I would've said that too.

nelly responded with a diss. so how is it that he wasn't addressing the accusations that he wasn't skilled? lol.

are we gonna act like that tim McGraw song wasn't the only track on the album that sounded like that? and that was an okay song actually.

sure, you can say that flo-rida followed nelly's template, but he sure as hell didn't follow it all the way.

 

[MINT]

ye he is wack

 

[Flav]

yup,thats HipHop!

@ everybody defending Nelly.

 

[Schwarzkopf]

KRS is an activist. hip hop would probably be outlawed today if it wasn't for the shyt he dropped early in his career

 

[Wacky D]

yup,thats HipHop!

@ everybody defending Nelly.

another struggle-post.

that song came out like 10 years after the fact.

 

[The Ruler 09]

I don't believe this is still going on, when's reps coming back? lol.

 

[Danie84]

The last album I heard him on was the one with Buckshot

It's 2013, and of course I'm not listening to KRS

I may be a Hip-Hop head, but I'm still fly, and I need certain music to reflect that

However, KRS is a pioneer, and I can never disrespect the teacher

 

[The Ruler 09]

The KRS One and DJ Premier album coming is probably gonna be of the best if not the best album of the year when it comes out.

 

[ISO]

LMAO at KRS being better than Nas, and Nas having a bad discography. You geezer KRS stans are somthing else.

KRS is not horrible, but he is overrated still one of the GOATs.
