Why do so many people lie on this site?
“I was basically answering a lot of cats that say, ‘KRS is always talking about real hip-hop and fake hip-hop,’ ” he explained of his lyrics on the underground track “Clear ‘Em Out,” which appears on the compilation The Difference (see“KRS-One Attacks Pop Rap On Underground Compilation” ). ” ‘Who is he to say what’s real and fake hip-hop? He needs to come with a hit record.’ I wrote my lyrics to combat that. So the record ‘#1′ comes out and [Nelly] says, ‘I’m tired of rappers talking what’s real hip-hop and them be the n—–s that their album flopped.’ ”
KRS, who doesn’t realistically think his proposed ban will greatly affect Nelly’s sales, said people mistook his lyrics, “You tired of me saying what’s real hip-hop/ Well I’m tired of you biting my sh– to go pop,” and “Sales don’t make you the authority/ It only means you sold out to the white majority,” as a poke at Nelly since it was released after “#1.” However, he penned his words way before he even heard about Nelly’s track. Fueling the fire was a press release from Official Jointz, the company distributing The Difference, put out with a confirmation that the former leader of Boogie Down Productions was coming at Nelly.
“I have 16 years of history in hip-hop,” KRS said. “When I dis somebody, I say the [rapper's] name, the name of the crew and possibly the label and we go all at it. Every battle rhyme I put out, that was my basic stance. [Official Jointz] was hyping it to sell more records. I kept downplaying it.”
KRS went so far as to explain the situation to Nelly’s camp and circulate an e-mail letter saying he didn’t want any beef with Nelly and had no ill feelings toward the multiplatinum rapper.
Either Nelly didn’t get the message or didn’t believe KRS’ sincerity, because he recently struck back with a scathing collection of words aimed at the Blastmaster on the remix to “Roc the Mic” (see “Freeway Gets Nelly For KRS-One Dis Track, Wants Cats To Feel His LP” ).
“When I heard the ‘Roc the Mic’ remix, I said ‘You know what, let me get this cat,’ ” KRS remembered. “It was the whole street thing. If somebody slapped you in your face the whole block is gonna start slapping you, trying to punk you on the block. He came out with a record and tried to punk me on the block.”
