Yes, this is factual, there's a HUGE difference between being forced to and choosing to, if he chose to sellout who knows what would have happened, but that's not what he wanted to do at all. It was against his faith and his natural state. And he was right not to, he's more truly loved for it, though his fame might not be as big as it could have been, he is still very well known, millions of views isn't a joke, mad shows all over the world isn't a joke after 30 years in the game, that longevity is to be aspired to, K-Rino is still in demand, for a pioneer and legend that is superb, there's many 80's artists who aren't anywhere near as popping as him with all due respect to them. He has numerous fans on me other than here too or we wouldn't be having this discussion and this wouldn't have done 80 plus pages on iphones if it was just me. K-Rino embodies many of the elements of Hip Hop, including but not limiting to street entrepreneurialism, he can even beatbox lol. You're right, if K-Rino was pushed by them corporations/corplantations he would be in everyone's top 5, even without that many consider him the GOAT or amongst them which is remarkable. People better do the knowledge. Exactly, some are trying to equate who sold out the most with quality, there were plenty of slavemasters who were rich too, does that mean just cause they were they should be on the greatest human beings of all time list? Or there weren't people much poorer that were greater human beings?

I like them to be duly compensated for their talent and effort there's a difference.....
If you don't think artist you like should get paid then I don't know what to tell you...
It all makes sense now......
K-Rino is not vastly, superior to KRS, Slick Rick and BDK though
Never mind the GodMC Rakim Allah
Course an artist should get paid, that doesn't mean it makes them have quality music based on their bank balance though.
I didn't say he was vastly superior to them , no-one is vastly superior to people like KRS cause they are amongst the best and elite level mc's ever.
This beat is dope to me, don't see why you dislike it personally...
Ok fukk it I give in, post his top two songs, let me give this guy a go
There is hope afterall
I don't know what you mean, KRS-One is 1 of my favourite MC's, my favourite character in Hip Hop ever, the person I'd say is the best example of a walking embodiment of Hip Hop and an all time legend, not just in Hip Hop but in general. I love KRS, and I also have spoken about KRS countless times on here too, the thing is people chose to troll about K-Rino because as he's more underground it seems to them like an easy target they can get away with. As I always say, if you look at the actual threads I've made they are some of the most diverse on the board.
On topic, K-Rino ALSO rates KRS-One hugely, and they have met too. He even has an album cover where he's wearing a KRS-One shirt, even worked with Wise Intelligent from PRT who is in the Temple Of Hip Hop on very good terms with KRS despite any past animosity which they squashed a long time ago anyway.
To people asking about tracks, I made a list of some of MY personal favourites in this thread, you can't sum up an artist of K-Rino's quality and quantity in 2 songs, he also has MAD different styles, just hear the first 3 of these for some of his early work....

It's an impossible question, but these are 2 from 95 and 93 respectively.
Arguably simpler tracks...
It depends what you like really as to what people feel are his best tracks, you can ask 100 people and get vastly different answers because he has so many classic and GREAT songs.

At 7.39 in this brother Peter Bailey discusses some of the things Malcolm X taught him which is similar to some of the content in this K-Rino song...

I think you're going to get such a varied answer if you asked people for his 2 best tracks, I'm curious to what @Iron Chin Wilder @Hybrinetics @The Beast @PlutoEighth @IronFist and others would say if asked that question. I'll ask a few friends later and see what they say...

too many to name, but ill give you 2 that most hip hop heads could prolly feel, including the K trolls
Both songs are hard. Flow on The Non Conformist is hard, becoming 1 of my favourite songs.
"I know he's serving his purpose so I keep my game tight
If the devil's mad at me that means I'm doing things right"
Whole thing is potent, and hard... truly hard, not pseudo hard...
What is it that you like so much about it ? Are you from Houston ?
Name any successful rappers who've been inspired or have been seen as the next K-Rino ?
He just seems like an amateur in comparison to other rappers.... nothing really "wows" you
about him. Not his storytelling, not his flow, not his metaphors, not his punchlines and certainly
not his piss poor production even his "message" has been done by others better
Farting along for 30 years in relative obscurity with no progression whatsoever - just reeks of
complacency and sheer laziness.
This is just sad breh
SLOW IT DOWN HE JUST DISSED U
What are you even talking about? Lol.
Not even reading the other troll thread @Tall Israeli , but if you would like to explain to me your comparison with the Lil Wayne song you may do it here and I may reply...
