Why doesn’t KRS One get the respect he deserves

[ill nik-A]

He started battle rap
He is a pioneer
Has a great album collection from BDP to his solo stuff in the 90s, return of the boom bap was insane


Maybe y’all too young

Because he doesn't need that title, he knows he is the best and is fine with no one putting it on blast.

The real ones know though.

I think hes wack lyrically
Technically hes dope and got a raw voice. But nahhh

[Geno]

Maybe i havnt listened to enough

That's interesting...

Do you think 2Pac was lyrical? jw

And if you know or think you haven't heard enough why would you go so far to say he is "wack"?

Tupac was very lyrical.. Wtf

[Inno]

Because he comes off as bitter and spiteful?

Plus these kids don't give a fuck about krs 1
And I mean sure he hates that which probably contributes
To his holier thou attitude.

Plus this nigga always preaching da fuck?

Cause nothing ive heard did i like accept his sound.

For instance...
Or my fav pac track...

[uh-oh]

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

But what about compared to, uh lets say crooked I?

Or idk Eminem? Some do say that Pac wasn't as lyrical when you take into consideration new complex rhyme schemes that have been morphed.

Not really my opinion just saying I see their point in that instance.

But this is about krs 1. Ever go listen to the real blueprint when nas but jigga on blast? I knew about before that but most people don't know and still haven't listened to it.

[Amen]

One of my favorites.

[Mr. J]

KRS-One is just the guy to lead a crew
Right up to your face and diss you

He’s past that now, he’s just trying to help the black youth, whatever I respect it but A’s an artist he is the blueprint to everything!

Ladi dadi I don’t wear Versace

"Nelly dissing KRS, we need to stop him
What's next? Beyonce battling Rakim?"

Chino-XL

Some people just don't understand or even care to. The thing that kills me is people thinking he's just some preaching ass dude. When BDP came out, KRS was thugged out. On some military shit talking about fuckin up the police and shit. He went preachy when he went solo. Old BDP is that shit tho.

[Ghost1]

Uh oh covered it
