“A lot of artists that claim to be old school or of a certain era, they try to rely on that, Oh you gotta respect me because if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be here. I find that argument bulls**t at the end of the day.”
- KRS-One

it's in this good as usual interview by Kris.......
http://allhiphop.com/stories/features/archive/2008/06/17/20137911.aspx

Ain't that the argument KRS used when he was beefin with Nelly?

KRS says a lot of things..

People will tend to cherry pick though..

interesting interview

krs always speakin the truth

He trains like choo choo

waccq

KRS is and will always be a legend he always says what needs to be said good interview by the way.

He says everything. Type a random statement and guaranteed KRS said it at some point in his endless, countless rants.

“A lot of artists that claim to be old school or of a certain era, they try to rely on that, Oh you gotta respect me because if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be here. I find that argument bulls**t at the end of the day.”At first, i thought krs-one said "oh you gotta respect me because if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be here."

And I still think that.

Krs is just mad that he isn't Rakim, and that he isn't as important as he thinks he is. Public Enemy(almost all political Hip hop), Rakim, De la Soul(All alt. hip hop), and NWA are all trump him when it comes to being influential.

Don't be silly..

=)) @ De La Soul.. Jungle Brothers don't get enough attention when it comes to alt. shite

he just spews what whatever would make him seem like an interlectual.

I like Jungle Brothers' Done By The Forces Of Nature more than any De La album..

Really? More than 3 Feet & Rising?

3 Feet High & Rising is a wee bit overrated.. it's got a fair few tracks that don't do owt for me.

Really? More than 3 Feet & Rising?

Yes I do, that isn't even my favourite De La album, and have you heard DBTFON by Jungle Brothers?..

3 Feet High & Rising is a wee bit overrated.. it's got a fair few tracks that don't do owt for me.

That's your opinion & I respect it but 3 Feet High & Rising is classic & my favorite De La Soul album.

KRS is the man. He teachin you fools

i think KRS is def the man...but you have a new generation who has no idea about him, cause rap has been around so long now...but he's dope...somethings i agree with him some i don't...but because of the classic gems he has dropped...he's the man

he just spews what whatever would make him seem like an intellectual.

Or perhaps I just like like those groups and think that Krs hasn't put out anything worth talking about in about 15 years.And that his "I'm the teacher" shite got old a long time ago. Now, I agree that the Jungle Brother's are underrated. Honestly, I'm not even a De la Soul fan, I just hear there sound in a majority of alt. rap groups, and think their influence is worth noting. And it's better to be thought to be a wanna-be intellectual by some douche bag on a hip hop forum that be a complete ignorant.

does this have anything to do with the Ice T vs soulja boy bullshit thats goin on?

No, not at all

KRS One has a right to say what he wants... I don't always agree with him, but KRS redefined battle rap... he took personal disses to a new level, he was the first rapper to REALLY beat other artists ass (PM Dawn) his Stop The Violence Movement was excellent, and Return of The Boom Bap is one of the better breakaway records (after AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted)... KRS is Da Gawd...

word, he has earned the right to say whatever he wants man
he is the king of hip hop
he'd still rip any rapper in a battle
