The nerve of a nikka with a pair of three's= holy grails on.
When he would not know to rock three's with his gear if not for krs.
Shut Cho stoopid ass all the the fukk up and log off.

Not sure if I replied
But no, KRS-One was not the most complex lyricist in terms of a Rakim, G. Rap, etc...but he was still a very technically skilled lyricist, though he could be simple at times
But as the OP stated, he has the greatest catalog of rap music from 1986-1997. That's undeniable imo.

inners = italic multies = bold
In the streets of New York dope fiends are leaning for morphine
The tv screens follow the homicide scenes
You live here, you’re taking a chance
So look and I take one glance, there’s a man inside an ambulance
Crowds are getting louder, I wonder how the
People want to go fight for the white powder
People hanging in spots
They waited until the blocks got hot and got raided by the cops
I’ll explain the man sleeping in the rain
His whole life remains inside a bottle of Night Train
Another man got his clothes in a sack
Cause he spent every dime of his rent playing blackjack
And there’s the poor little sister, she has a little baby daughter
Named Sonya and Sonya has pneumonia
So why’s her mother in a club unzipped though?
Yo that’s her job, Sonya’s mommy is a bar stripper
Drug dealers drive around looking hard
Knowing they’re sending their brothers and sisters to the graveyard
Every day is a main event, some old lady limps
The pushers and pimps eat shrimps
It gets tiring, the sight of a gun firing
They must desire for the sound of a siren
A bag lady dies in an alleyway
She’s seen the last of her days inside the subways
More and more down the slope, the kid couldn’t cope
So he stole somebody’s dope and a gold rope
Now my son’s on the run, he’s a wanted one
Who had fun then was done by a shotgun
Upstairs I cover my ears and tears
The man downstairs must have drank too many beers
Cause every day of his life he beats his wife
Till one night she decides to pull a butcher knife
Blind man plays the sax
A tune called “the arms on my moms show railroad tracks"
Many lives are cut short
That’s when you’re living, in the streets of New York

I agree with everything U said except for it being undeniable that KRS had the greatest catalog from 86-97. You make a case for KRS having the best but I feel Ra had the best catalog during that period w/o any wack songs.
as far as clarity...i mean taking high level abstract concepts and breaking them down into very basic narratives krs one can not be touched
i think he could successfully explain astrophysics to a 5th grader if you give him a beat

His catalog from 86-97 is legendary...after that it pretty much falls off a cliff. KRS music became quantity over quality the last 15 or so years.
