KRS was homeless in one of the most poverty stricken boroughs in New York.

Nas pops was mostly absent in his household growing up and his moms had a low paying job while they was living in one of the worst projects in NYC.

Them not experiencing poverty is wildly laughable.

KRS was homeless by choice, he ran away from home bro. Have you ever listened to Kenny Parker talk?

Nas was in a bad neighborhood but he was not poor. His dad was in and out, but his mother was a teacher.
I could say the same for myself, I grew up in a dirty NYCHA building but we were never poor.

Stop it, bro. Even before he ran away he was poor and even if he was from a well to do family he still faced poverty after he ran away.

And I don't give af how you try to flip it and bounce it...Nas grew up poor as shyt. His moms wasn't making good money and him and Jungle stay talking about how poor they grew up in QB.

If a white girl faced self inflicted hardship would you respect it?

We have different ideals on Nas situation. A single parent household in the hood isn't necessarily poor. Teaching doesn't pay well on the front end but you'll have security in your retirement years. If you're Black male in the hood and one of your parents is a teacher that's a significant leg up.

Bro... I'm not going back and forth with you on clear nonsense. Nas and KRS One grew up poor. I don't care how you try to frame it.

Calling random journalists colonizers for not liking your album while being buddy buddy with a governor who actively harms black people and joking around with a podcast host who calls black people monkeys is wild.

Make a song called "Kill Your Masters", and then brag about being part of the financial system you've been shytting on for four albums, brehs. :dead:


But for real though, this is a case where both sides of the argument are fukking corny.

Fantano makes a habit of taking his criticisms of artists he doesn't like too far, veering into attacking the person that made the music, instead of the music itself, then hiding behind the concept of criticism. Brehs on here likely don't want to agree, since they don't like either of them, but he earned whatever intense dislike Logic and Drake have or had for him. There's a fine line between saying you don't like an artists music, and saying you don't like THEM, and he's happy to be a habitual line stepper in that regard, especially since every instance is monetized on YouTube anyway.

But at the same time, Killer Mike really does come off as a hypocrite. You really can't be out here spitting all that renaissance man revolutionary shyt like you're for real pro black, and be buddy buddy with people who are active threats to us like it's nothing. Not to mention that breh really spent a decade of his career spitting pseudo intellectual so called anarchist revolutionary raps for your music you're acutely aware has a predominantly white audience, but fall back on that tired preacher disappointed in his congregation shtick as soon as the first fukking verse on his album that's clearly meant for a blacker audience. :dead:

Breh makes some decent to good music which I respect, but you can't seriously expect to be someone who attempts to be leader in our community while also often talking down to said community, and kicking it our known enemies without SOMEONE taking issue with it.

Does Mike really believe the stuff he's been saying about his album. That it's beyond a classic? If so, then why pay Fantano any attention?
