Scott LaRock Jr: "I Was Going To Put Hands On KRS One For Playing Dumb"
- Thread starter Newark88

All I hear is excuses. He shouldn't have to do anything in order for KRS to give him what is due to his father. Ms. Melody didn't produce and finance KRS' first albums. Ms. Melody didn't discover and put KRS on.
DJ D-Nice is literally the reason DJ Scott La Rock was murdered. D-Nice got jumped over a girl and Scott went with D-Nice to see the guys who jumped him and squash the beef. Sadly he was shot and killed while attempting to be the mediator. D-Nice never reached the fame and financial heights that KRS-One reached, yet that didn't stop him from staying involved with Scott Jr. That's why Scott Jr. had nothing but love for D-Nice.
His father (Scott La Rock) wasn't just "cool" with KRS. He was his business partner and mentor. He came up with a business "Boogie Down Productions" and made KRS a rapper and made D-Nice a rapper and DJ. He built a business around his connections as a known DJ, that was well respected in the streets, and positioned KRS-One as the centerpiece of the label.
Dead weight? He discovered KRS-One in a homeless shelter and changed his life. There would be no KRS-One or BDP if it wasn't for Scott La Rock (the college educated, financially stable DJ and social worker) investing his time, money and connections into him.
So this man, who we see on all of these covers of the albums that KRS built his foundation off of, is killed before it's time to get his cut of the profits (FYI you get royalties in perpetuity so it's still money being made off of those songs). And KRS who calls this man his brother, never once goes to check on his deceased friend and business partner's only son?

The question is who owns Boogie Down Productions as a group?
At some point, KRS started dropping albums as KRS, and not BDP, correct?
Is KRS getting royalties from the BDP album's and not Scott Sr's estate?
Could see Jr having an issue if that were the case.
Man I saw Rakim was doing a show at a community center in Richmond VA 6 years ago. The price was Five Dollars.why they acting like his dad was Sean Combs?
Only reason people know Scotts name is from KRS always mentioning him.
Them dudes making noise in the 80s missed the money that came in the 90s...
...I would be surprised if Rakim/BDK/KRS are living extra comfy.
Hip-hop started in Rec rooms and some old school dudes went back to the Rec Rooms

So KRS should have adopted him and taken him away from his mother when he was 9 months old?
Do you even know the politics of their relationship?
I don't know if CED GEE (the producer of those tracks) even gets royalties......
"He shouldn't have to do anything for KRS to just make sure his life is "comfortable"
D Nice pockets ain't as deep? The man is doing corporate Deejaying. Like for Presidents and World Leaders and shyt. How y'all skipping this guy and going to KRS. If anything D Nice need to teach the kid to DJ(if he wants to learn) and take him on the road.
But you heard his interview? He said those old dudes scared of him because he'll bring the girls and take the girls and they're shook of him. Great attitude to have around you wouldn't you agree?
Where does that come across as someone you or anyone would deal with. Also what about his kids if he has any, is KRS responsible for them as well? His cousins? The whole family? Or just him?
D Nice who is responsible for his fathers death is staying in touch is a worldwide dj. You saying his pockets "aint as deep" so KRS should take care of him. If D Nice aint adopting the kid why should KRS?

Son sounded Bitter in the interview but as you said Kris looked up to Scott like a God when they got started and he shouted him out like he was there for the first three or four Albums. Dude said he had like three or four brothers and sisters but considering how KRS called himself the Teacher he could've at least paid for his education. But on the other hand the mother couldn't shyt on her other kids so maybe that's why Kris didn't reach out? (that's a weak excuse though)
That would be like if Nas didn't take care of Ill Will's kid(s) Cormega said Nas wasn't "with" Ill Will like that but he shouted out Ill Will heavy like he was his father or something so it would be the same situation just off the strength of his name Nas should look out. (Not saying that he didn't)
But getting back to Scott LaRock (jr) I thought his name was Sterling? And in the Doggie Diamonds interview son didn't even say what he did Is he a rapper, DJ, Producer or is he a nikka just looking for a check?
we dont know all the details surrounding their relationship. lets just say they were cool. then the right thing to do would be to bring him on tour and let him rock wit em, but as I said, what does he do? I didnt listen to the whole interview. does he dj? mc?
Word. When BDP broke up/ KRS dropped them D-Nice became a photographer at the beginning of the Video Vixen era. He made some bread and married and divorced "Bird" from Soul Food. I wouldn't be surprised if D-Nice's pockets were bigger than KRS's is right now.
It could be a clout relationship. KRS was a teenager when they started out. Scott was the "name". It was like Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff, Jeff was way older and more established than Will was. Will was the little, little homie. They're cool but Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff was a business relationship they weren't "friends" In fact there was another nikka that was with them at the time that they got rid of while making the first album.
Will paper is long he could hook up that 3rd member if he wanted to, even Mariah Carey gave Brenda K. Starr a check 20 or so years after shytting on her.
People kill me with these "so and so made it and left so and so in the projects" stories. These guys have their own families to taken care of and none of us know the whole story behind these relationships.
Why even do an interview like this other than to slander someone?
Why even do an interview like this other than to slander someone?
That's the only reason, Doggie didn't ask a single question about what he did/does? maybe someone else wants to give him a chance/bag
For all we know homie could work for the Post Office and just wants 40 grand to pay off his car or something.
I dont know how tight KRS and Scott were actually. Were they more than just business partners? They werent together two years before Scott got killed. Geto Boys was together for over 20 years and I'll bet no one will ask Willie D to take care of Bill's kids. 
but yeah, he didnt sound humble in the interview. and that introduction between him and KRS was cringe. I dont know how I would have reacted either. KRS owes something because with no Scott, there would be no BDP. Not to say KRS wouldnt have been successful because he was always going to be. I just remember when that tape came out and although it was dope, its aura was pushed to another level because of Scott's death. Whatever KRS owed as far as being cool with him is out the window after this interview though. Son sound wild immature. He should take some notes from Large Professor since he claims they are so tight. LP is a humble dude who aint trying to burn no bridges.

Doggie put Bully up there on the couch to slander D-Block like they didn't give him a million shots to stink up those tapes. He didn't make it so go to Doggie Diamonds to bash em.
It was poor taste and people got at Doggie about it, giving a spot to disgruntled Do-Nothings who blame the world for their own fukups.. Doggie Diamonds took it down then said get this he took it down because he showing more character than Vlad. He said he was expecting them to do interviews and lift him up(D-Block) since he took it down, so they should hold him down since he did that
petty extortion. Then when he didn't get any interviews or anything he says "They ain't loyal (because they weren't boosting him and helping his channel grow, so he put the Bully badmouth Video back up. Like he was holding an Ace or something. Dude comes off as miserable, always has and he attracts miserable people. He expecting people to come to him and he charging people to interview them. 
Excuse after excuse for a man that has exhibited poor character. And you are making a Strawman argument once again. fukk it let's take all financial compensation out of the picture. No one is obligated to adopt another person's child.
They never even gave him a chance to be turned off by him and his "attitude" that you keep projecting your personal feelings on to.
You have just saw him speak for the first time, in a 10 minute interview about something that has bothered him for 30 years. You can't accurately judge his character from this.
Actions speak louder than words and hypothetical scenarios.
The only facts that we have at this point are the actions of KRS-One.
The fact is KRS-One has never done anything for his deceased friend's only child.
Not an ice cream when he was 5.
Not a starter jacker when he was 10.
Not renting him a limo for his prom when he was 16.
Not a pair of Jordans for his 18th birthday.
And this kid lived in the same borough that KRS did the entire time.
The man never stopped by and had a 20 minute big bro / uncle conversation with the son of the man that gave him a career.
The Bronx dedicated and named a street after DJ Scott La Rock (Kingsbridge and Jerome), an amazing thing for any musician, especially one from NYC that had such a short mainstream run. Scott La Rock Jr., D-Nice, DJ Red Alert, DJ Jazzy Jay, the Ultramagnetic MC’s Ced Gee, Grand Wizard Theodore all showed up to celebrate his legacy being stamped by the City Of New York.
You know who wasn't there? KRS-One
How the fukk doesn't KRS-One show up to a city funded ceremony dedicated to naming a street in DJ Scott La Rock's name to honor his memory and legacy?
What excuse can you make for the man who "kept DJ Scott La Rock's name alive after his death" not being there for such a momentous occasion?
He made time to show up to every event that honored that known pedophile Bambatta over the last 3 decades.
He didn't show up to the naming ceremony because he was scared to run into Scott's friends and family. Because then he would have to answer as to why he went ghost on the family after Scott's death.
This is normal crab behavior in the hood, nikkas getting RIP shirts for dead homies and throwing memorial parties in their name but never going to check on their children.
It's just this time the foul person is a hip hop legend.
nah. thats definitely not true. KRS was already a member of Celebrity 3 so he was in a group rapping before he met Scott. iirc they were recording on 4-track before he got with Scott. yeah, Scott took him to another level faster because of the connections, mainly Ced Gee who Scott got to produce most of the album. When KRS split from Celebrity 3 he nearly became a member of Ultramag because they were recording at the same house. KRS was a talented MC who very well was likely to succeed whether then or later. Remember, it was almost Eric B and Freddie Foxxx and not Eric B and Rakim, that doesnt mean Ra wouldnt have made it.
