Now hold on thereShammago. I promise you this aint no diss thread.
KRS-One was alot of things:
Dope Artist
Great Music
Elite Mic Presence
Dropped mad knowledge
But dude was also a very simple rhymer(which is fine) who always got credit for being an elite or complex rhymer on the level of his comtemporaries.
Rakim
Kool G. Rap
Big Daddy Kane
etc...
Dude wasn't no where near seeing those cats in that category of rhyming.
I bet most would put dude over the likes of Ice Cube or LL Cool J in that category simply based on reputation & subject matter. But I just don't hear it and never have.
I respectfully disagree with the premise of this thread.

Man KRS invented flows and lyrical techniques. It's just that yall have not heard enough KRS ONE songs.
Complex lyrical, diverse flow and....????

Solid...one of his better lyrical displays in the last 15 years. But he seems to be chasing the beat a little too much on this song. So the overall performance is

True . . you make a great point
. . but he's also an underrated songwriter. His delivery lacks commercial appeal and because of that I believe is why he gets more credit for being a heavy lyrical rhyming technician when in reality he's a great songwriter with a unique point of view. He could probably be a far greater ghostwriter than even D.O.C.

Ok, that's fair. Yeah KRS is not the most lyrical all the time but for some cats to say tat he is never lyrical, then I'm like hold on

yeah he kinda got that busta thing goin on in that track.
i never was moved by krs, i always felt like i was getting talked to rather than rapped at.
big, big turnoff for my ears.

verses & songs full of multis aren't the only thing when it comes to MCing. KRS can do that AND he has unlimited flows AND he has some of the most incredible, unique concept songs AND he is a pioneer of many styles and sub genres AND he is still creating dope music almost 30 years after his debut AND he is an incredible live performer AND he has amazing breath control AND he is the main inspiration to many of the best MC's AND he is a tried & tested battle rapper.

Peace.
Bruh I can't believe you actually said that. Krs-One was profound and great at what he did...but Rakim changed the way people rhymed and the way emcees approached a verse. He turned the fukking game on it's ear my nikka. I'm so appalled right now...he pratically introduced the game to a new type of lyricism. It was him, Kane and G rap really IMO
