It seems KRS-ONE is not as high on GOAT lists as he used to be

[Mystic]

He was/is nowhere even close to Rakim on some rapping shhit, that’s for starters. He was impactful and influential in hip hop tho and has timeless stuff, he’ll always be able to be argued into some Top 10’s off that alone. But yeah, he was never my twist cause I never thought he was nice like a Ra or a G or a BDK, etc…and I ain’t with that adults tryna fk little girls shh…and the Bambaata caping, . Almost makes me wanna keep him off the list totally, , but that’s not being objective.

KRS>Rakim

 

[Mystic]

Nahhhh, not you Fresh, smh. You know skill sets and all the attributes of what makes a nig nasty with it. You think Kris got that? , I don’t see/hear it…never did, even before all that shh surfaced that put holes in his character. He is amazing on stage tho, part of being a great MC is rockin the crowd, I’ll give him that…I’m just talking about bar work tho. He ain’t even in the same class as those 3, imo

Knowledge in your music>>>>rapping about how nice you are are rapping

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Alot of the 80s guys arent mentioned anymore, unless its Rakim....

They been replaced by Nas, Jay Z, Biggie, Tupac, Eminem, Scarface, etc.

 

[TrifeGod]

I can't give KRS a number but he's still one of the greats



CRAWWEKK CAWWARAWWKK BOOKAAOBOBOKKA

Actually I'm about to blast this right now

 

[mitter]

​

[CHICAGO]

[Grand_Verbalizer]

I'll say this, He still sounds good vocally in terms of delivery/Mic presence etc. when he wants to



He'll let a rapper get real high before he drops 'em

The Bambaata shyt totally destroys his legacy.


Until he disses bambaata.

All of hiphop culturally will be dead till then.
As you have no gateway to create new bboys or bgirls.
Plus it becomes hard to even talk about the culture in any positive light as well.
Until krs disses bambaata.


This culture is the fad.
that they originally panned us as.

As the new school way of thought has no credence.
Plus bboys in hiphop culture.
have no protection mechanism norms or mores with power established.


till krs diss bambaata.

It is fukk krs one.

So basically, subscribers or long time subscriber to The Source were the only ones eligible for voting. In the same issue, they divided some things like they had a most influential list too.

Todays hiphop is very different to KRS era..its practically two different genres.

 

[Crumple]

I don't like KRS no more 'cause he just think he's too dope. He let his ego take over his shyt and that's what brings him down. When he was like that [shouts "Blow it to yourself"], when he was like that, then he was a ten but now, 'I am Hip Hop'!!! Eat a dikk nicca. Eat a muthaphukkin' dikk!

Okay. You said that. Cool.

Just know that he always showed love to the forefathers of hip hop.



His new tracks are phenomenal.

Fresh for 2024.

Music already didn't move the needle for me, then I listened to a lecture this goof was giving and realized he literally just be talkin. Can't take son seriously.

Bro, I heard him say “if you go to college you can’t be hip hop” or some shhit like that…I was on the floor, . Nigs be saying anything and because of name recognition/being old alone, idiots will co-sign it.
