Why did Nelly go at KRS-One again? :krs:

[DrX]

South Bronx isnt exactly Suburbia breh

nelly get respect in his hood for putting it on nikkas....dude aint a sucka

 

[CrimsonTider]

Eh.

Nelly won the battle, KRS won the war.

Nelly had a nice little 4-5 year run, now he's doing cereal commercials. His last album did like 10,000 first week.

KRS can still tour off shyt he did 25 years ago, breh.

Fred.

Where is this touring that KRS is doing do you speak of? Who in the hell is KRS opening for?

This nikka @hexagram23

He's an old white man.

Not True... Krs got at Nelly because of that number one track Nelly did

KRS said it was a misunderstanding, he said he didn't get at Nelly cause of that, and Clear Em Out wasn't directed at Nelly, it was when Nelly was on TV dissing him he replied.

 

[WuDatWuDat]

You ain't even gotta listen to the songs to know KRS won. Nelly out here making hits he don't know shyt about hiphop.

 

[Mandarin Duck]

With New Kids On The Block as the headliners.

It was their tour. Nelly opened for them. He's on stage 20 minutes.

That's like saying the "Fast & Furious" franchise is a success because of Luda.
Is rap seriously so far gone that opening for New Kids On The fukking Block is a win? Is that what I'm reading here?

Fred.

I didn't say it generated that much money because of Nelly. I said Nelly is apart of a successful tour.
So imma ask you again. Is KRS making more money than Nelly on tour?

Ayy I'm not reading this whole thread but why we talking money.

Everyone knows money in hip-hop doesn't mean shyt when it comes to talent.

"so if your message ain't shyt, fukk the records you sold
'cause if you go platinum, it's got nothing to do with luck
it just means that a million people are stupid as fukk"


KRS and Nelly are completely different artists.. KRS is a lyrical MC and Nelly makes pop hits.

Wonder who's going to make more money..

Well maybe you should because he's the one who brought up money and tours in defense of KRS.

Kris is a cornball that got killed by another cornball that happened to be more popular in mainstream

Krs chose the wrong battle and embarrased himself

I didn't say jack shyt about money. I said KRS can still tour aka eat off shyt he did 25 years ago. That alone is a massive accomplishment. Meanwhile Nelly has to open for a boy band from 25 years ago.

You came in here talking about "you don't want to compare money" then proceeded to brag about Nelly being on a "$35 million tour!" thinking cats wouldn't actually read what the tour is about.

So what is your point exactly, other than trying to piggyback Nelly onto the success of a tour that would be just fine without him?

I mean.....best case scenario, he still opens for New Kids On The Block. That alone should kill the momentum of any argument on a rap message board, but here we are.

Fred.

@hexagram23

I'm because we're discussing Nelly and KRS, who are both older than me.

But son has like 3,000 -Rep....so what level of posting do you realistically expect?

Fred.

 

[Harry B]

Only 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.

You the one started talking about tours, not me.
I brought up money to prove how stupid your argument of "KRS is still on tour" was. Who gives a shyt if Nelly is still on tour, opening for lame acts and still making more money than KRS? KRS had no effect on Nelly's career at all

 

[Taadow]

Now that I really think about it, this was a pinnacle point in hip-hop.

This was the first time a sellout didn't back down and was willing to do toe to toe with a purist. After this, it was over. This symbolic win planted the seed that selling out was to be accepted. Hip-hop has been downhill ever since. No more balance, No reality checks, Just mindless music.

Yeah.

KRS-One could not win in the grand scheme of things.
Nelly was too hot. He had the airwaves on smash.

Not to mention the fact that this was many dynamics at once:

young rapper vs. veteran
mainstream vs. underground
Country rap vs. New York

 

[SirBiatch]

Anybody who thinks Nelly beat KRS in any type of way needs their Hip Hop pass revoked immediately as they know nothing about battles or Hip Hop, KRS destroyed Nelly, it was a mismatch...

That's absolutely ridiculous, only people who don't know anything about Hip Hop think Nelly won that battle. So you're obviously a member of that list. That's incorrect, mad people know KRS merked him, I know this for a fact, it's really only ignorant people or pop fans who think Nelly won, it's absolutely ridiculous.

KRS-One won the battle easily, only people who don't know anything about battles or Hip Hop say Nelly won...

How come y'all allowed @The Ruler 09 to repeat the same shyt in 3 back to back posts?

I been knowing dude was a parrot but this is just ridiculous
