KRS-One spitting over a trap beat and it’s fire. Shows that these young boys ain’t even trying.

[Wild self]

Damn did he breathe

breath control is a lost artform

 

[Methodical]

That's why KRS-One is in my top 10 favorite rappers of all time.

 

[Methodical]

The vast majority of the rappers today are not intellectually capable of spittin a rhyme like that

100%

 

[Depreciating Asset]

I usually hate these old rappers trying to advance... looking like ....

But DAMN Chris was in his bag. I'm ready to buy an album from a 60 year old rapper.

 

[3rdWorld]

The kids can't rap today.
Total disconnect between them and the previous era.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

I don't care how hot the lyrics are, I'm getting tired of trap/drill beats PERIOD.

Gimme something like this and I'm good:





I mean , you literally hear the same hi-hat drum rolls coming out of every car. Roll through any apartment complex in the hood that's all you hear. Every song. Even R&B songs.

Whenever I hear it it puts me in a dark mood

I hate music that sounds like this. Not saying it’s bad but that genre ain’t for me. I guess it’s from growing up in NYC. This sounds like something you listen to at Joshua tree or Hawaii.

 

[The Fade]

We not tryna hear that unc


We wanna hear about spinning blocks and dropping addies and if you gonna slide

 

[CashmereThoughts]

Was Bambatta proven guilty in a court of law?

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

The vast majority of the rappers today are not intellectually capable of spittin a rhyme like that

Just came from KRS-Two's concert

 

[I Really Mean It]

The vast majority of the rappers today are not intellectually capable of spittin a rhyme like that

 

[The Connoisseurs]

The vast majority of the rappers today are not intellectually capable of spittin a rhyme like that

Everyone is a rapper so I’m sure a good amount of rappers have the ability to somewhat do the same thing to a slightly lesser degree.

A lot of rappers dumb down their music to sell.

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Was that just ONE bar? I hope so. He can do MUCH better, lyrically, and still float on any beat. His breath control is phenomenal.​

 

[Remote]

Bars.

This thread restored the feeling.
If only for a short while.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

That's how I approach Trap tempo.

More syllables. Pack the bars totally full.

Spoiler: #barz

Kids aren’t trying to hear some lyrical miracle shyt over a hard beat. They trying to turn up to some hot shyt. Pop Smoke used to say the same 5-6 lines in his music, but his music gets you hype, that’s what they want.

There's nothing lyrical miracle about KRS's rhyme here.
