Jay Z vs KRS-One (Poll)

[The Ruler 09]

Even Jay Z mentions KRS as one of the greats..

Let's see what other knowledgeable heads say, how about let's say Scarface, again Jay's man too, done numerous work together...

"RAKIM
Scarface: The way that Rakim put words together is like no other.
AllHipHop.com: For the younger generation who may be unfamiliar with Rakim; which track do they really need to listen to? Do you remember what made you first gravitate towards him?
Scarface: Listen to [Eric B. & Rakim’s] “Follow The Leader.” The main said, “…A furified freestyle, lyrics of fury/ my third eye makes me shine like jewelry… [chuckles] goddam! N****s talk about chains; the man said his third eye makes him shine like jewelry!
KRS-ONE
AllHipHop.com: What about KRS makes him stand out amongst others?
Scarface: “Criminal Minded.” To me KRS-ONE had that pause—it picks back up—he had a swagger from that “Criminal Minded” album. You know, that was really our star.
KOOL G RAP
AllHipHop.com: What about Kool G Rap earned your respect?
Scarface: …He had a song called “Truly Yours”—and that’s really the best girl diss that I ever heard.
AllHipHop.com: [laughs]
Scarface: He dissed somebody and I was like, damn. [starts emceeing] “This I dedicate to the girl I hate…” [mimics the DJ Polo beat, uh uh uh uh uh uh] “This I dedicate to the girl I hate…” Man, that is a fantastic come line—
AllHipHop.com: You think it’s been timeless?
Scarface: It’s timeless. Yes, “Truly Yours”
ICE CUBE
AllHipHop.com: What made you become an Ice Cube fan?
Scarface: [starts reciting a verse from Cube’s “A Bird in the Hand”] “Fresh out of school I was a high school grad/ had to get a job because I was a high school dad…/ but there was no SC for this youngster/ I didn’t have no money /so I had to punch the clock…” That boy Cube is cold; that boy Ice Cube is sick!
AllHipHop.com: Which MC is your last pick?
Scarface: I really have to think about that last one. S***, of all time, you got to say LL Cool J, dawg.
AllHipHop.com: LL?
LL COOL J
Scarface: Yep! Top five of all time, you got to put LL in that top five of all time.
AllHipHop.com: Now, if there were a top 6:
NAS
Scarface: Nas. I think Nas is a bad motherf***er. "

Let's see what a Raekwon would say..

"I take real emcees serious, so I will definitely say, one is Rakim. Rakim is our Marvin Gaye of Hip-Hop.
Then you have Slick Rick. Just their albums that came out almost 20 years ago is still busting a lot of n*ggas a** today lyrically. I wouldn't even consider myself in the "Top Five" yet. I haven't put in any work yet. Them two... I like [Notorious] B.I.G. Definitely one that definitely had a lot of talent, he had that good voice.
Big Daddy Kane was crazy back then. His s**twas on fire. He has come with all different types of styles and flows. 'Cause see that's what I look at too. I don't look at a n***a just being able to rhyme and talk tough all day. I'm talking about literature on wax. s**tthat will be like "what he say?" Spitting that sh*t right back. I look at all that. One thing to me about being a real emcee is that you have to fit that role as being one of those n***as. All n***as are made to have their own style and charisma. B.I.G. had his own style, his own charisma. He was able to do R&B s**t, kill it and still come back to do the real s**t.
Always presenting his lyrics, always knowing how to write stories and dip in different things. So I look at all that. Rakim, Slick, B.I.G., Kane...
I got one for more... KRS-One. Lyrically, l said those names right there. That's why I picked them."

How about west coast?

Spice 1: Tupac, MC Ren, Ice Cube, KRS-One and Rakim

AllHipHop.com: Can you list your “Top 5 Rappers Dead or Alive?”
Ice T: Here are my Top 5 rappers, in no particular order. There’s Rakim, of course, who is strictly about the flow, taking me in to a whole different dimension. Chuck D made us all put our fists in the air and said that we have to fight the power. Ice Cube, just because he’s f*cking Ice Cube. That n*gga’s a beast. When he said, “Straight Outta Compton,” to me that’s the hardest record in the history of Hip-Hop. Then there’s KRS-One. If you have never seen KRS perform live in concert, there is nothing more Hip-Hop than him. Then, I’ll toss it up between Jay-Z and Nas as one person.

Kurupt’s Top 5 Dead or Alive.

RAKIM

KRS-ONE

KOOL G RAP

THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G.

THE D.O.C.

Let's see what MEMPHIS BLEAK says LMAO....

AllHipHop.com: Who would up say are the top 5 emcees, Dead or Alive - for Memphis Bleek?
Kool G Rap
“He was the first rapper that showed me some guns in a video and how to tie a n***a up. He was spittin’ the real. He was the M.O.P. before M.O.P.”
KRS-One
“KRS-One was the lyricist of lyricism back in the day. He was the first person to ever destroy somebody and build his career off of destroying him. He was the first 50 Cent. (laughs) Let’s clear that up!”
Rakim
"Rakim was before his time. You can put on a Rakim album and it sound like it was recorded last month. He was spittin’ harder than rappers spit now. [He was] way before his time."
B.I.G.
"When you get to the new school, you gotta put B.I.G. up there. B.I.G. made it cool for fat dudes to get fly and steal our chicks. And he was just funny. B.I. brought the comedy to rap. He made it fun again."
Tupac
“My last Top 5 pick is Tupac because Pac was real. Pac was a revolutionist. People look at Pac for the thug. But you gotta look at all the other songs, ‘Brenda’s Got A Baby’ ‘To My Unborn Child,’ ‘Dear Mama.’ Pac was the truth man. He wasn’t about lyricism. He was about getting the message to you and making sure you understood that he was dead serious about it and I loved that about him."

Black Thought (In No Order):

Kool G Rap
KRS-One
Chuck D
Rakim
Big Daddy Kane

Chuck D

KRS,Rakim,JAYZ.MelleMel,IceCube,LLCoolJ,Tupac,Eminem,bigDaddyKane

Mary J. Blige
"I would start from the beginning with KRS-One, then I would go to Rakim. The reason why I put KRS-One at the top of my list is because he taught us something: Right now, no one wants to remove themselves enough to help the new generation. Songs like 'You Must Learn' and 'Self Destruction' helped us to think just a little more positively. He educated us and he loved us and he removed his selfishness enough to help us, and that's why he and Rakim are at the top of my list. I would then go to LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Black Moon, Biggie, Pac, Meth [Method Man], Jay-Z, Nas."

So are theses the "nerd ass names"?

[Damnshow]

Krs-One is one of the most respected artists by the artists themselves but hey the poll really changes the whole thing, right?

Lol yeah you love being stupid, your opinion doesn't really matter at all, cause your not a Hip Hop head. Just cause you don't know shyt don't mean everyone else is ignorant as you.

 

[The Ruler 09]

Lmao, exactly, they really think they taking the win cause of a poll on the coli lmfao.

 

[Damnshow]

Lmao, exactly, they really think they taking the win cause of a poll on the coli lmfao.

I mean I got both artists in my top 10, but ain't no way this thing goes by a landslide or whatever

 

[The Ruler 09]

I mean I got both artists in my top 10, but ain't no way this thing goes by a landslide or whatever

Yeah, so do I. It's cause they don't know KRS's music why they say dumb shyt like that.

 

[Detroit]

Lol yeah you love being stupid, your opinion doesn't really matter at all, cause your not a Hip Hop head. Just cause you don't know shyt don't mean everyone else is ignorant as you.

I don't want to be a hip hop head man I want to enjoy my life

 

[The Ruler 09]

I don't want to be a hip hop head man I want to enjoy my life

You can enjoy life and be a Hip Hop head. You say some dumb shyt lol. But that's cool, you don't have to be, but obviously your opinion isn't taken very seriously if you don't know Hip Hop. If you were on a humble tip it's all good, but just straight dissing legends and icons you know nothing about is kind of fukked up lol.

 

[The Ruler 09]

its a naS cocksuckin site
And you are one of the cocksuckers with your other screen name

Not really, when Pac is the most popular rapper here. It IS a very mid 90's and onwards esq site though with people with not much knowledge of a lot of 80's shyt. Hence why many people admitted in here they hadn't heard KRS albums, so basically just voted Jay cause they know him.

And the other bit, again, your making a fool of yourself typically, I genuinely think you have a personality disorder, you need to step away from your Laptop, Mrs Drizzy and Jay posters for a while, take the dartboard with Nas's picture on it down for a bit, forgive Nas for bustin mad nuts on your mother's ugly face and go get a diagnosis and some treatment for your condition. The only one with alias's is probably you, but maybe your entitled since you probably have split personality disorder too, you love Nas' style AND you hate him, your like the little boy at school that pulls the hair of the girl he likes.. except your a fully grown adult and your doing it to a 40 ish year man your don't know lol. Already been proved you are a delusional cocksucking coward that merely running their mouth for the sake of it. Anytime you want to be disproven, let me know, and will put my money where my mouth is, and if you even got the money you can put yours where yours is.... no not Nas's dikk... but to try prove your false accusations. But you won't so.... "we don't believe you, you need more people"

P.S: You say this is a Nas cocksucking site, yet you are STILL here, what does that tell us? You want to spend time sucking Nas' cock? You are a disgusting creature, and you need intervention asap.

Uppin for people who missed.

 

[The Ruler 09]

I have come to the conclusion that you and the fakket you quoted are the same fakket.

Then your more of an idiot than I thought. I bet you $1000 we're not and the mods or whoever can verify this , put your money where your mouth is unless your on some bytch coward talking shyt bullshyt.

Put the money up, and someone neutral we can send it to. Will give a percentage to charity also...

lol... dont get ya world shattered. Yall both use some dumb ass arguments and are sheep. Both seem aloof. Yall the same fakket. I can tell.

My world shattered? You serious? Your a fukking clown, watch how you backdown like the fukking bytch and coward you are from what I said. This typifies you, ALL TALK AND NO ACTION, I will put my money where my mouth is to disprove you, you won't cause even YOU know your full of shyt.

And still no reply nearly a week later. Proved your full of shyt.

 

[The Ruler 09]

@Art Barr Would be cool to see your opinion in here man.
