Never thought of this story as untold, they've been telling this story since the night it happened. shyt was really David vs Goliath. Melle Mel was like God in NYC at the time but he let his ego get the best of him.

KRS is a gifted storyteller. Dude can make damn near anything sound interesting. I like his approach to battling attack everyone and let the pieces fall where they may


Has he done voice over work? Like he'd be a great fit on those NFL countdown shows IMO

I love hear KRS talk, no homo :dame:

Love Krs One to death....

But I would like to hear Melle Mel take on it

Red Alert was there and the story pretty much goes the way KRS said it did except KRS left out the part where he told Mel the line from still #1 about you're just another rapper that's had his turn, but now its my turn that crowd went crazy for. I've also seen KRS say from a technical standpoint Mel's rhyme was way better than his and he thought he lost but it went over the crowds head but being that Mel was his idol of course KRS would think that.

That's how you can tell for all his arrogance he's a genuine cat.
