i look at krs like i look at marley marl.

he laid the blueprints others took to the next level. marley took sampling and hip hop production to basically modern shit. custom individual drum shots, the arrangements etc. pete rock and premier and everyone basically used his methods and made way doper beats than marley ever made. but without marley they ain't shit.

without krs any number of rappers ain't shit

it ain't to say that someone else wouldn't have come along and figured out what they did for hip hop respectively. but they figured out their lanes and laid the true groundwork that everyone that gets all the props prospers from
