let's vote for KRS ONE to be in next year's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame he really deserves to be in it he doesn't get enough credit for hip hop as is let's honor him for hip hop for the next 50 years.....STAND UP FOR HIP HOP!
I actually thought he was a better rapper than 2pac tbf he really was a rare talent and so glad I’m finally getting the chance to see him perform live in the UK
I remember back in like 96 or 97 (I can't remember) when this song came on on the radio one Friday night. I was like 😳😳🥹🥹🥹🥲🥲🥲🥲. I cried a few tears cos I was a nerd and really had no friends. This song spoke volumes to me. I miss those years when music could speak to us.
StanginNbangin RU-vid Account I know. Get the address bl of the Hip Hop organization he runs and send him a letter. He will read it. KRS is that kind of fellow. Sincere and genuine.
Man, one of my best friends moved away really far and I only see him every few years now. When we meet it's like we never parted ways, shit's beautiful. Keep positivity in your heart!
"I send this record to the well respected, friends that I've collected. I hope I am what you expected". That right there sums up this song, mutual friendship! Knowledge Reign Supreme Over Nearly Everyone!
Such an underestimated KRS track. One of the stand-out hits for me and I think one of the best tracks to symobolise hip-hop, the history the mentality and the shared desires/goals of those oppressed in that environment, whether a little or a lot this reflects most peoples environments.
Krs-one the best Emcee i am 15 years old and he is my fev Emcee the art of keeping it real i am from afghanistan but i will do anything to meet this Emcee and thanks Krs-one for keeping Hip hop alive
+Afghan ultimate challengers 73. Plus he's the realest mc of all time in my eyes plus his self titled album is one of the best rap albums in the 90s imo
lyrics The beat was sposed to drop right there The beat was sposed to drop right there The beat was sposed to drop right there Yeah yeah yeah, uhh I send this one out, to my right hand man Or mens, or women's, the whole crew The real fam We can count the dough or kick a flow Or chill out watchin videos Or actin really silly yo but really doe All that can end Whether at the bar with superstars Or cruisin in the trooper car I really don't care who you are All I really need is a friend If we can't have trust then you can't hang with us We respond to those who show respect with respect We respond we connect on the same deck Same intellect, my man, never shifty, thinks quickly If you can't understand, we boys we boys We could stand on the corner with a hat sellin toys It ain't about your Benz I hope it ain't about mine My man, I be dissin in my freestyle rhyme Gettin G's around the world, I can trust you with my girl My man, we chillin at the jam, what's the plan? I'm not a yes man and none of my friends are yes men Or women, I'm drivin, I see my peeps yo get in Where you fit in? True friends are quick to sit In the beginning of all trouble, and when your bankroll doubles Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble Still I got my own space like Hubble We can count the dough or kick a flow Or chill out watchin videos Or actin really silly yo but really doe All that can end Whether at the bar with superstars Or cruisin in the trooper car I really don't care who you are All I really need is a friend Cause don't nobody care about us, all they do is doubt us Until we blow the spot then they all want to crowd us And want to shout us, but you my man from way back I just gots to say that, actin large I don't play that But I can't say that, where I play at isn't fast-paced A friend can acquire the taste to become two-faced And that's a disgrace there ain't nothing you can say to us When the kid you grew up with betrays your trust When we used to ride the bus we had trust Now we cash checks and drive Lex, and can't show respect to one of us Yo the heads I hang with ain't tryin to just get What they can get, sit quickly backstabbin the click I roll thick, but only some are friends really Down to the end, my right hand men and women Mutual support, from the beginning Been in, exactly what I've been in We can count the dough or kick a flow Or chill out watchin videos Or actin really silly yo but really doe All that can end Whether at the bar with superstars Or cruisin in the trooper car I really don't care who you are All I really need is a friend Back to back we attack corporate America Gettin fees that amount to G's in every area You my man I ain't gotta drag you along You pull your own weight, yeah you definitely got it goin on I don't see nothin wrong wit a little bumpin car system Thumpin, between the crew we always got sump'un But if we had nuttin no frontin whatever We'd still be crew you and me, me for you together Word, fake people ain't worth a turd They only want to be your friend because of what they overheard I send this record to the well respected Friends that I've collected, I hope I am what you expected Yeah, so check it, so check it We can count the dough or kick a flow Or chill out watchin videos Or actin really silly yo but really doe All that can end Whether at the bar with superstars Or cruisin in the trooper car I really don't care who you are All I really need is a friend
The fact that I shook hands in person with The Teacher makes this video very poignant. I really am glad that being a Buddhist makes me connect with this dope track.
I grew up listening to KRS-ONE and BDP on my journey as Graf artist, his style and message, as always, relevant and on point. Listening to him is like revisiting my roots. coming home.
Truly!! Mad love and respect for the realest purest and greatest to ever bless the mic for sure!! KRS One is one of the greatest Mc's to ever exist!! Pure legend!! Thank KRS One for blessing us with your amazing talent and music!! Much love and gratitude towards you!! Blessed be!! One Love ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌈☮️♾️
This record gives me such a positive feeling within and makes me smile. I love the purity, simplicity and low key lessons taught. Shout out to all the real friends out there. Keep it real.
Hip hop just gives me sich an energy, when peolpe tell me on partys , turn that slow "shit off" , i cannot understand them. I feel everything from this and it keeps me up everyday. Sry bad english
Everybody needs a friend, or at the least to feel connected to some kind of community. It is pretty much the solution to anything. You don't have to hug the weird guy on the street or even give him anything, but learning their name and just saying hi when you see them may make a giant difference to them because they know they got a friend, or at least a connection to the community.
This is the rap music that I loved growing up, dope lyrics, great songs, boppin your heads, dope messages. It changed when beef was too much, not getting worked out and too much over saturation with trying to dumb it down for record sales. It needed to be balanced
Hip means to know, it's a form of intelligence To be hip is to be update and relevant Hop is a form of movement You can't just observe a hop, you gotta hop up and do it
my only friend is my younger brother, them rest of my friends changed just as I did. unfortunately I dont got no day ones no more. Im 25 years old and I cant trust people no more, but its aight. this songs still dope tho. wishing everybody the best! much love
