No 80s mc adjusted to the times, even up til today, better than Kool G Rap. He sounds modern even with mumble being popular.
Reason I put KRS up there is because he was droppin hits and street bangers that everyone knew even past the 90s. Also. LL Cool J literally gets overlooked in these conversations and he had the best career of all of em.

I asked KRS about that and he still wanted Nas to do it
he stopped because of the weirdo energy Rakim had about the song plus some Canadian rapper at the time went kind of viral stealing the whole concept

look at this goofy shyt. I wanna slap him

To be fair, he did say KRS belongs on a pedestal with revolutionaries....


...but like y'all when Nas went "Kane and Rakim were like aliens. KRS... He was just an MC" I went :whoo:

exactly; he basically put KRS as something above/beyond, just music: "KRS....is like our sojourner truth or marcus garvey"

honestly i always assumed he was team kane over kris because of the beef

but kris is still very active unlike kane

as far as foot/mouth i personally cant think of any instances including the gwenith ish.

some potentiality exsisted with that noreaga footage that couldve ruined his legacy

i understood his sentiment tho but that backlash couldve been worse than ether

nah it's shocking because he rarely speaks like that but he should be allowed to be open. he was fanning out about 80's mc's same way we do about 90's mc's but because he is a public figure it's almost too raw.

The whole “he’s not fly” etc etc bit he did I feel like he coulda pumped his brakes. Imo.
