Powerful postOnly old heads would say that KRS killed Nelly, yes KRS in his prime was infinitely better than Nelly but if Drake dropped rhymes with that flow and delivery while dissing someone a coli thread would be filled with so many smilies that the site would crash.
The old head co-sign KRS cause Nelly was the first person to say fukk the hating ass old heads and fukk the snobby ass 0people who think they have the right to define "real hiphop". A lot of old heads made themselves irrelevant in the part of the world where hiphop lives, by hating on the evolution of the music and repeating themselves for 20 years straight. They forgot that they became legends cause they made shyt that no one had ever heard before and by changing the game. I think Nas did it correct with his recommendation to the game with HHID and I think Common was correct for dissing the commercialization of hiphop and introduction of gangsta rap (which I love). But KRS was just straight snobby and hateful.
Nelly was right, KRS was wrong. Nelly gave him a few bars and ignored him and sold like a billion records, KRS hosted beef to big up himself in the beef.
Why did Nelly go at KRS-One again? :krs:

people argue and cry
but this was basically the end of nelly ... especially if you dont count that bullshyt tim mcgraw song, which further made people stop checking for nelly
same can be said for LL ... he's still killing and had CDs after the whole pointless canibus shyt... but they both fukked eachothers careers up
people in 2020 hate canibus for defending himself... and lowkey other side will look at LL like a clown for getting thrashed after pulling hoe shyt
its all been downhill for all 4 men ever since they battled eachother

Was that verse before the KRS-One track Hot. That shyt was banging btw. If it was after Hot then I could especially see why KRS thought it was about him. I thought Nelly won the battle overall and I can't stand Nelly and fukk with KRS heavy..
sneak attack came out in march 01
nellyville in 02...but #1 came out around Training Day, at the earliest spring/summer 01.
If this is the actual timeline, how could you conclude that Nelly didn’t start it? Either he started it with #1 and KRS responded or he started it with Roc The Mic and KRS responded.Thats exactly how it happened.
September 2001:Nelly's song "#1" from the "Training Day" soundtrack gets out.Nelly explains that "#1" is directed at all the people hating on him and biting his style.
April 2002 :KRS One and Tone-def release "Clear 'Em Out" on The Difference compilation that takes a swipe at Nelly's "#1." KRS raps, "You tired of me saying what's real hip-hop? Well I'm tired of you biting my sh** to go pop."Nelly appears on "106th & Park" explaining that he respects KRS One but will come back at him in self-defense.KRS One issues a press release explaining his side of the story. KRS says that "Clear 'Em Out" was not aimed at Nelly and that he did not feel that Nelly's "#1" was directed at him.
May 2002:Nelly records a "Roc Da Mic" remix with Roc-A-Fella artist Freeway on which he refers to KRS One as "the first rapper to get a pension." The song is ultimately released on Nelly's sophomore album Nellyville.KRS One releases "The Real Hip Hop Is Over Here" that disses the music business' corporate structure and calls for a boycott of Nellyville to send a message to the labels who don't respect the Hip Hop culture.
KRS shot at Nelly first.
I don't believe he caught feelings off some soundtrack record. He used that shyt as an excuse to go at Nelly cuz it was easy.
On the Beef DVD he claims to write a diss record "that would end careers" for every rapper in the top 10.
KRS is the king of dissing nikkas for lame reason ala MC Shan. The bridge clearly says "they want to tell u a story bout where THEY come from". KRS saw his opportunity and went it...I don't blame him but he's made a career off chumping lame nikkas like homeboy from PM Dawn...u wanna tell me that nikka started it 2?
timeline sounds accurate enough, but how did Nelly start it? #1's a generic ass song about haters. The real hip-hop/flop line is also generic. Could be said about anyone who was hating on Nelly.
KRS interrepting it as a diss is all on him.

I saw KRS maybe 5 years ago down in Orlando the show was CRAZY. I know Im old but I cant see anyone really into hip hop discussing them in the same vein..... KRS is in many of your favorite MCs top 5..
They both will always be able to tour all over the world
