Do it,got more since I saw he is still here (music industry wanted us to think he is no more), I was so stupid to believe that! I just swolowed all the words he said (all I could find) and feel so much better about many things,and me too... didn't need years of therapy! You just go with your idea, may only lead you to something "krazy"! To your real self!
this video is doing more for me than I can say. this man story is sooooooo inspiring. I can so relate and he got it even worse. Looking forward to meeting KRS one
Coming up I didn't have such beautiful blac sisters around to fall in love with and dream of getting married to. I grew up in France around white people
KRS ONE is light years ahead of this interviewer it's so noticeable. You can tell he takes it easy with his statements and theories because she seems so ACADEMICALLY structured and reliant on this "training" she's attained. She's intelligent don't get me wrong, but of a different realm.
I disagree. She is the interviewer and had an agenda to get certain information out. He is being who he is and lectures. Not the perfect setting for that.
I don't believe that this is true at all. I think that she is quite astute , very knowledgeable. She is not KRS1 or isn't trying to be him. She is doing her job and bringing up some good points. He would come across the same to you with anyone interviewing him. She is not there to debate with him or hold him to account. She is examining along with KRS 1 assistance elements of his life for the benefit of the watcher or listener.
You can learn a lot and be free listening to KRS One. People who criticize him doesn’t has the sensibility to understand his points, to you people I say that you shall remain ignorant.
Amazing interview...Let's get started then...Mothers, Fathers, Sisters and Brothers...Let us' create our world. Let us use our words wisely and collective...Let there be freedom of despair and fear, Let there be compassion, love, equality, kindness, gratitude, spiritual awareness, abundance, respect, harmony, consideration, cooperation, peace, empathy, prosperity and unity for all of humanity. We are the human family and we should appreciate connectedness and the gift of Love within each being. Much love to your dear precoius soul.
Still informative in 2020 😊, My son introduced me to the artist in the late 80's, his knowledge shaped an era of my sons awareness the knowledge of a reality often mis understood. My Son is now a Man and the message of KRS 1still stands strong within. Life Lessons
This officially my favourite KRSONE interview. I've learnt alot from him and somethings about myself too. Shout out to BASS for holding it down with tha teacha! Love from and Emcee in South Africa, Headz!
Back then the energy and magnetism in hiphop was undeniable! Everybody found everybody who was needed to be successful!! Now all we gravitated to is likes😮??
Oh don't forget to go back to the days of Trojan reggae the melodians toots ,the maytalls , always throw them on the drum machine, absolutely got to have my Trojan vinyl I was twenty-three when I discovered that, trying to find something to throw into the instrumental, not completely building to beat with those rips but throwing rips on top of my drum tracks, nojo Trojan as well as reggaeton general, as a whole culture in that sound it will raise your vibrations, I can imagine how Bob took New York.
Biggest take away from this as I see it is that adversity breeds strength, growth, and especially creativity. Adversity is the greatest teacher. Big ups to KRS1 for being honest about the tough beginnings.
This so INSPIRING! One of the best interviews ever - because of what KRS had and always has to SAY. I would like to say so much, about what this man just made me (re)think again. Man... "Slavery never existed, cause if it would, it would exist today, as well..." Man...
A truly inspiring and genuine hip-hop legend. Never sold out like all the so called 'real' or 'gangsta' rapper b8tches that appear in dance songs or star in Hollywood movies or series e.g. Ice T, Ice Cube etc. Fake.
I've been living by the law of the first reaction for a long time and I can promise you we or should I say the mainstream public let me be, precise and it's no disrespect I don't think the public will ever be ready for this level of understanding and that's alright the public always has that opportunity as the centuries passed to be ready and to get ready.
22:05-22:16 Exactly Americans wasn’t listening to Reggae at all and knew nothing about it. Before or the same year Rap Records came out in 1979,a movie film “Rockers” was released in the same year 1979. Many artists,Deejays producers all were in this movie. Jack Ruby,Drummer Horsemouth,Bongo Herman,Jah Wise,Jacob Miller,Gregory Isaacs,Leggo Beast, just to name a few. In fact it’s starts off with Nyahbingi & introducing Greetings with the I’cient Ashley Iyah I. You should remember him from the Coral Gardens Massacre “Bad Friday” Wildstyle was Hip Hop first movie and Style Wars was Hip Hop’s first documentary and Beatstreet 3rd Hip Hop Movie after “Breaking “… I definitely feel Reggae over Hip Hop. Those Beaver Fur Hats Horsemouth and Dirty Harry was wearing with the Red Gold & Green colors were like very revolutionary for the liberation movement of African people descent.
I love KRS1 but to hear KRS1 say Scott La Rock gave his last and put his own family and bills on hold to make sure he made it, broke my heart because KRS1 never ever looked after Scott La Rock son, Scott La Rock Jr after Scott was murdered. Scott La Rock Jr has stated on many podcast platforms that he and his mother has never heard from KRS1 after his father was killed. Scott La Rock Jr also said he has never been to KRS1 house, never ate a meal with him, never talked to him no nothing. Infact, Scott La Rock and his mother still live in the hood in the Bronx. To hear Scott Jr say that, made me look at KRS1 different. KRS1 should have gave his last to help Scott La Rock's Sr. Family when he was killed.
Hmm, KRS-One addresses the movie 12 Years a Slave and and of course everybody claps because he acknowledges black female suffering not being acknowledged (which we all know is a lie because black female suffering is acknowledged all the time and it's acknowledged WAY more than black male suffering) but he disregards black male suffering when he addresses the allegations of Afrika Bambaata by males by saying that the allegations are just allegations, and of course everybody claps to that also. Typical.
I've been a BDP/KRS fan since 1987; but It's disappointing KRS stated "the Irish were slaves in the United States;" that's flat out wrong, and there is no documentation that supports his statements.
If I was offered any 2 people to spend the day with! Him and Dave Chappelle would be it! The knowledge and real ass conversations would be life changing
He's right you can go back on our culture of the Irish going back to 1400 , we were also bought to be honest and not to offend anybody we were bought on a ship next to the African slaves as well and we weren't indentured servitude either it was slavery, never got paid for anyting again we have to remember that the Europeans settler, will never ever change, and it's in our system in the United States government now more than ever in 2023, they just change the narrative from race to politics.
You can obviously watch it in a seperate clip. Although what he said about Bam was disgraceful and disgusting without a doubt, does that mean we should ignore everything else he says? These 2 had a brilliant conversation. Obviously and evidently including the topic of pedophilia would've ruined the conversation.
+Conquering Lion would've ruined the convo but had to be addressed regardless. Fuck the philosophies at this current moment when clearly there's problem in Hip-Hop regarding the child molestations. I'm actually highkey surprised as to why it's being brushed under the carpet by mainstream media when this is a serious issue.
From his site Please do not get caught-up in videos, headlines and blogs! My 30-year career stands as evidence of my integrity. I am a man of JUSTICE! So, allow me to make my position extremely clear. In regards to the Afrika Bambaataa controversy, I am in no way “defending” Afrika Bambaataa, or somehow excusing him of the “accusations” made against him because he is Afrika Bambaataa. Be clear with this. I have saidrepeatedly on video and in writing that I am saddened and shocked at the whole controversy, and that Bam is going to have to deal with this matter on his own; that this is a matter for him to deal with personally with his accusers and that “I hope for the healing of everyone involved”. And I mean that. But to condemn any person with no evidence and only accusations to go by is indeed wrong and unlawful. Such is NOT leadership. Afrika Bambaataa’s attorney, Vivian Kimi Tozaki, has written: “Defamatory statements were published seeking to harm my client’s reputation so as to lower him in the community, while deterring others from associating or dealing with him. The statements, showing a reckless disregard for the truth, were published with knowledge of their falsity, and are being made by a lesser known person seeking publicity”. Afrika Bambaataa himself has also said, “I have never abused nobody”. But for some reason, none of this matters; Afrika Bambaataa is guilty of “sexual abuse” because of the “allegations” made against him. This is simply not right. It is not right from a legal, a political or from an ethical point of view, and older people, wiser people, more mature people should know this already. The ignorant and the immature can “feel” whatever they like, but this is why there are laws to govern social behavior. Too often we cry out for a brand of justice that we refuse to give to ourselves. Too often we as a community expect others to give us the justice that we are unwilling to give to ourselves. In the United States a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Yes,proven guilty. This is the law. Yet, Afrika Bambaataa has received no such presumption of innocence, he has already been deemed guilty of “abuse” with no evidence and only accusations against him. This is dangerous for anyone, and real leaders cannot become entangled in such controversies that have no real healing for the victims, no recovery for the accused and no real justice in sight. Again, I am in no way defending Afrika Bambaataa, I am defending real truth and real justice for all! KRS-One
Where is the part where he tries to kick people out of hip-hop because they have a problem with Afrikka Bambatta and his sexual abuse of young boys? He said it during this interview, yet they're making it look like this is the entire talk - which is false.
naw punk ass i know an artist dj taking pictures on my page right there with all the rappers and i asked him directly and he said he didnt know where kris was at. plus his name is not on any of the posters. so suck off kris dish
just because u can rhyme don't make u a leader "teacher" I'm 39yrs. from the south never was into worshipping anyone ... my opinion is this. He loved the lifestyle at that time plus was broke in the shelter "desprit" to me the love of it was 💰 my opinion so[ooo with that being said NO black man with a heart and a love for what he feels is the most important thing that influence him in his life would make a comment of that magnitude and not know and understand the feedback that comes with it...it one thing to have a "opinion" but its another to be inconsiderate and not in touch with the hurt and pain of our ppl to where you say "deal with it" regardles of how you feel especially when you call yourself the "teacher" prophet that in itself is a red flag...Scripture at it's best..ijs He's living his fantasy "business" its all about the 💰 and he don't care who gets hurt with his agenda and he said his ppl wow..i feel sorry for ppl that has to follow the mind of another to feel apart of something...who is "HE" don't be shock if he got caught up in the agenda to bring dwn our ppl he's good for entertaining ppl that why our enemy chose him to mislead us..ijs
If he looks at his career as that of a Teacher ,Older Brother or Father figure to the younger heads in Hip-Hop culture ; then he failed by enabling and protecting bammbutty-man - batta
Nak La but as a friend of the accused you should have a moral stance and not say “even if it’s true he’s still my guy” . That’s wrong. And if true his contribution could be taken away because it’s more likely he used it as a grooming tool and not genuinely to benefit hip hop, but to use hip hop for his own sick purpose that causes harm to the children who follow hip hop to uplift them and insults and goes against the the teachings and reasons of the culture.
She’s smart but tries to call him out on points that she has no business calling him out for. He’s trying to explain it in his way and she constantly interrupts him. She gotta learn the art of listening.
funny story ... you look at all krs music videos with multi-millions & hundreds of thousands of views here on youtube, & see THOUSANDS of RECENT (post-bambaata comment) comments still supporting & enjoying his music, not even caring about this recent shit. those who have "turned against him" or now hate him or were never really fans or whatever & are just on the whole "fuck krs" thing, i mean sorry to kick a little reality but ya'll are the VAST MINORITY. KRS STILL HAS & WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE MILLIONS OF FANS & SUPPORTERS - he will continue to put out music, sell old & new music, have people bumpin his music, & tour the world.
SUPEROBSCUREBEATS funny story.... The comments on his RU-vid videos are MODERATED. Look at unmoderated videos on other channels and you see a different picture. Yes, he still has fans. But not so many. All that's left now is mindless sheep.
SUPEROBSCUREBEATS I don't care who you are if you're speaking knowledge that can give me a better outlook on life. then I'm going to listen and I don't give a fuck what other ppl think.
We were” employee’s” but they were slaves’ concept will never sit right with me (clearly the interviewer did not receive it neither) until my dying day.Hearing such words come out of the mouth of one that was one of the hood heroes hurt me seemingly more than a sward being pulled out of my body .! No matter which way he slice it up he (with all the knowledge that he claimed to possess) sound foolish ,wrong unthoughtful and uneducated.!
