“People Who Downplay Latinos Role In Hip Hop Are SO STUPID” - KRS-One

[UpNext]

Where are KRS-One's and Pete Rock's families from?

I'm not going to put on some pedestal cuz he's old school hiphop.

I’m not putting him on a pedestal. I’m saying he’s more qualified to speak on something he saw firsthand compared to a bunch of us who weren’t

He is on record saying he has been ill informed on the formation of hip hop. I think he is a people pleaser in these circles.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Pete Rock and KRS were actually there for Hip Hop’s inception. Their opinion should be taken seriously.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Exactly, can’t name one because Prince Markie Dee was considered the first one.

Puerto Rican may have done some break dances or graffiti but they weren’t instrumental in the meat of Hip Hop. The part that catapulted hip hop.

You might be right. Key word MIGHT. And none of us know the truth becuz none of us were there. But I will say I’ve heard other pioneers say the same thing

If he's caping for Bambatta knowing what he did then how do you know he's not distorting the truth for his benefit?

People that have never written a single bar , gonna shyt on Chris and Pete Rock now

Krs has made up a lot of weird stories about Hip Hop, like Bambooty “making all the gangs in NYC stop”. KRS is going off a lot of second hand knowledge no different than anybody else

I mean, then those same people should be able to name a name. They can name DJ’s, break dancers and graffiti artist. I wonder why it’s silent on rappers. Plus, the name for the other sectors are always players coming after the birth of hip hop.

How does any of this benefit him?

No he wasn't. You don't know Hip Hop history. Ruby Dee was way before Prince Markie Dee. You aren't qualified to speak in this convo.

KRS' knowledge on Hip Hop history >>>> Tariq Nasheed

What are the names of the Puerto Rican rappers?

Can't think of any myself. They had bboys but crazy legs said they weren't the first. For DJs,
They had DJ Charlie Chase but if all of those early ricans did something else with their lives I'm sure hip-hop would still be where it's at.

Idk breh. It really ain’t that deep. He was there. We weren’t. I’ll take his word for it over yall any day

He can promote himself as a historian and get paid by the right people to tell the history THEY want us to know and get paid for appearances and lectures
