Dude just be rhyming random shyt together like

“See this is black expression,
HIP HOP is a black invention
Open up your third eye
Reality is conception
Everything is one
The astral plane is projected
Transcendental meditation
We are ALL connected” :krs:

Who says anything that hasn’t been said

Knock the noses of the pyramid head

To which that man has bed

Is our planet not rock

That is the HIP to our HOP


:krs:

Goofy Nikkaz shyt on Black music legends all the time and trash their legacy then walk around with band t shirts from cacs that haven't been relevant since before they were born. Just showing the lack of value for "the culture"

Yeah KRS can be lame but we not invalidating everything he ever did as a result. Cut the bullshyt.

Not understanding what someone is talking about can cut two ways

Either the person doesn't make sense in the first place

Or

They are going way over your head with ideas too complex for you to understand

KRS is not the pinnacle of smarts or anything but I have heard him say plenty of intelligent things.

I didn't like him at first either. But I was 15 and didn't really understand some things yet.

When KRS the same cat that exposed the truth on "You Must Learn" to a generation of black kids made a damn Christian album :francis:

He's the definition of knowledge without wisdom he thinks all knowledge is good and respects everything

which is why he can defend a sick fukk that messes with kids he's a complete sociopath if you stand for everything you stand for nothing

He worships knowledge itself, hip-hop itself he had the juice at one point and walked away from it because he has no understanding or moral compass

According to Scott La Rock jr ....KRS-ONE is a great emcee...Lawrence Parker is a piece of shyt

I stanned dude up until his boom bap album. Afterwards the delusions of grandeur kicked in.
"By Any Means Necessary" > most of yall fav albums that you call Hip Hop.
