Big K.R.I.T. On Leaving Def Jam and Performing At BET Hip Hop Awards

[@NonsoHendrix]

It's damn near criminal how slept on he is, dude lowkey has the best discography of all new era rappers

[@airdropsneakers3432]

K.R.I.T. soooo slept on. I even slept on him for a minute then went back and listened to his mixtapes, he truly made timeless music. Just southern bounce and bars. Can't wait for his next project and to support him, he deserves it.

[@bryanparnell4752]

Check out his latest project. 12for12

[@iamdjrudebwoy]

Yea, he slept on, but I think you have the definition of timeless music wrong.

[@jakethomas_419]

DJ RUDEBWOY Go listen to "The Vent" and come back to this thread.

[@shanj2009]

😩😍😍 he's so slept on.

[@monicac2834]

i know i literally cried at his last album sales :/

[@kingbillz2495]

[@A_team-l5g]

😂😂😂😂 Get yo thirsty ass on bruh

[@cristalb8255]

[@silwashere7159]

[@dj862]

Big Krit so underrated 1 of my favorite rappers working today

[@saraltonmoore6609]

I've been listening to Big K.R.I.T since children of the world...

[@backgroundcharacter3784]

[@jeromed3904]

YESSIR BIG KRIT Super dope!!

[@ronaldgreenjr1423]

Real talk....it's crazy how underrated he is

[@AverageOnes88]

[@single733]

I feel u

[@TheBlasianPrincess]

I pet you

[@MOJOATLBIGSHOTS]

Straight up

[@here1050]

My freshman year at Howard University, my theme song "I Got This"--still play it whenever I doubt myself. KRIT is really for us. A genuine spirit.

[@bigben228]

Krit got the cleanest hairline in hip hop history

[@ceesKe12]

lmaooo yo my guy got no flaws wit that cut including the beard

[@TommyTomTompkins]

Nas?

[@detumus]

Benjamin Franko nas might got that

[@retiredtidepodeater3339]

Peter Gunz

[@kingrememberedintime3859]

Benjamin Franko and ludacris

[@shainissa8237]

Krit, Kendrick and cole are some of the most humble rappers iv seen in a very very long time. They just seem so genuine which is dope to see

[@whilesuncastle2231]

I hope he reads this but Big KRIT you're the best out. I've been listening to your music ever since I heard Somedayz until now. You help me get through feeling down, picking my head up or stressed at work

[@dkonciousblkfemknightman]

bruh..he not gonna read this..so go choke on sum....

[@travisjohnson057]

man my day rapper finally getting shine...krit its been 7 long years for your true fans man...been rocking since krit wiz here 2009 people...

[@AverageOnes88]

travisjohnson057 already know

[@preston77021]

travisjohnson057 been a fan since glasshouse

[@bornsinner6588]

travisjohnson057 kinda new to him after listening to a song got into him , what should I listen to form his old shit ?

[@swaggyg5841]

Bornsinner start at see me on top

[@travisjohnson057]

Bornsinner don't start with see me on top go to big krit.com click on music and all his mixtape are right there start with his 2009 conscious material krit wuz here and keep going...unless you from the south you can start with see me on top those mixtape on his website are his conscious and diversely and universal music for everyone start there

[@easy8325]

I remember the first time he came in 2013 they were talking real slick to him.The second time they game him respect.This time he's solidified!

[@M3Niki]

I swear he's one of the MOST SLEPT ON artist out here!! Love me some Big K.R.I.T

[@kingdaniel4195]

Big KRIT is the most underrated artist out and he's been this way for a while now . There's no reason why he isn't bigger than what he is . He's lyrical , got good beats and he got bangers . Def Jam fucked up not pushing him. To me he should be up there with Kendrick, Cole and Drake #Multi

[@shemarrodney5775]

its his beat selection i feel like that southern styles been gone since outkast left in 07 and a lot of people cant rap their head around it unless of course your a lyric listener.

[@RelentlessCo]

kingdaniel4195 I see you dippin

[@KJtheCreator]

#MultitiltheSunDie

[@SLIMHARDAWAY543]

kingdaniel4195 Bruh I agree !!! Been saying this for years but nah mf's wanna listen to Uzi and Yachty !!

[@khaliffburnett853]

I disagree because that Southern sound still popular, it's rappers that's not from the South that's hopping on it just saying

[@ReedMySole]

Dude is so underrated and he been moving since like 2010 or 09. Saw him perform live and met him in the a, Dude is a real one. His live performance was nuts. KING REMEMBER IN TIME. KILL EM KRIT!!!!!

[@charlied.5293]

"To live though as God aint real, I rather DIE first"-Big K.R.I.T. Your music helps me through my life Krit and I thank you for it!

[@taydee8611]

this man and his melanin my god....black is beautiful

[@ilovetrevorsmith]

I'm looking through the comments and I see nothing but support for Krit loving it!! !!

[@sunnymoney187]

Def jam dropped the ball on my guy K.R.I.T

[@jaycarter5455]

sunnymoney187 big time bro

[@ThatsHipHop4Yaaa]

sunnymoney187 that's what happens when labels stop pushing artists. I can't remember the last artist they really got behind.

[@TheProtagonistDies]

IKR! they pushed trinidad james wack ass music but slept on krit. SMMFH

[@dubem6671]

Logic

[@juswolf22]

spadedot nah I don't remember them pushing James neither he dropped def jam track and they dropped him

[@Aname87]

he has great energy...well-spoken and handsome. really enjoyed this interview.

[@BangemJ]

Why my man KRIT only get 18 min interview?

[@JMF2]

said the same shit

[@ReedMySole]

BangemJ because he not on that ignorant stuff and he got a 30 min one on sway and he freestyle go check that out.

[@boybe25]

maybe he had to be somewhere

[@BangemJ]

He always have long interviews with Sway and he had a long one with Hot 97.

[@kinggodtravis]

that was the first thing I look at and was mad

[@Empressive]

I was introduced to him when I heard someone bump Pay Attention. This man's music great. I don't like today's rap but Krit and Chance are the ones worth listening to.

[@lifeisajourney6036]

This guy is the most underrated MC in the game. Not to many people can go flow for flow wit him.

[@jamnin94]

Everyone always says who's under rated but Krit really is the most under rated MC out here. He been killing everything he touch since krit wuz here. He mad talented and deserves the shine these other nobodies are getting. but he not with the foolery so he goes unoticed on social media.

[@timon9306]

James Matern Chris Webby Is the most underrated MC.

[@jamnin94]

That might be true cuz I'm a hip hop head and I've never heard of him. I'll check it out

[@timon9306]

Cliff Paul​​ K they're both great rappers, I feel the same way about Webby like he does to krit. Webby's been independent for all his 12 mixtapes/albums since 09' still is , he's not trash, he's dope and underrated, that's why tech n9ne took Webby to a 50 date tour as the only special guest. (Back in 2010 Chris Webby and krit made a song together called "problem") Go watch his "sway in the morning " U Mad" freestyle if you think he's trash or listen to his latest mixtape Webster's lab 2

[@jamnin94]

I will. I kno he has a song on krit wuz here called that as well.

[@tatyanadupri6802]

KRIT! Day one fan. Been waiting on you to come back!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Mike419T]

FINALLY... geez. Its about time they put KRIT on here again.

[@ariesmade90]

MichaelIkomi hell yea

[@charlied.5293]

Only 18 minutes though?!!??!?!?

[@Sambaboy9230]

Charlie D. Clark Better than nothing

[@Timtharealdeal1]

KRIT should be in everyone's playlist

[@bcole1637]

i wish he had more time..this brother deserves shine

[@BabyswishyWorld]

Return of 4eva is classic if you don't have it that best describes this powerful Mc/Brother

[@KJayBeenHere]

Krit Wuz Here

[@dfjr1990]

His first 4 mixtapes are CLASSICS

[@avagarica9682]

+dfjr1990 this is the main topic in Mississippi. Mississippi native artists are not remembered or recognized because the state itself isn't a major city, but it does has roots

[@Kennyarnold16]

4eva and a day!

[@Kennyarnold16]

true, but some of the best music originated from Mississippi!

[@skof-zj2ss]

He's the closest thing to Andre 3stacks to me...

[@cedricbarnes7237]

reaL Skoof facts💯💯💯💯4444 real

[@aaronbrutus1239]

ABSOLUTELY. highly underated.

[@Dweeziy810]

[@pierrerock9779]

Eli_ ManOfTheHour

[@TheClosetRatchet]

He is everything 😍😍 and so fine. Met him while I was doing red carpet for the BET Hip Hop Awards and he's so sweet and humble.

[@flyboysquad]

One of my favorite rappers of this generation this dude is def underated

[@CapCityMover]

I did the same thang. Cut the drinking, eating my veggies and running put me back on track.

[@awwskit3929]

s Contreras I need to get on that

[@j.b.595]

s Contreras word? bet

[@KayHamptonLife]

I'm guessing no smoking green either right?

[@KayHamptonLife]

This is bigger than you think... "they" make a point to make sure music that can empower and change black men never makes it too big. If you notice alot of very conscious rappers and actors etc.... are no where to be heard now. Being blackballed by white america is real.

[@CapCityMover]

I stop smoking back in '03. No way to keep a decent job and still smoke. I kid around with my buddies about being the biggest pot heads when we retire. I guess something to look forward to when i get older.

[@unclebuck39]

18 minute interview? While beanie getting basically an hour talking garbage. He's not the only one. C'mon Breakfast Club!

[@mothaflippinpimpin]

Hoodie Harrelson probably because Krit actually answered the questions

[@santanaoutlaw]

Hoodie Harrelson Krit got shit to do.

[@teionbennett9293]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@TheProtagonistDies]

why use beanie as an example?? why not use lil yachty and rae sremmurd wack asses as examples of wack niggas gettin way too much air time...

[@LunaWayve]

do you people not think he might have a meeting in the building and can only do a quick 20 min interview before he has to go ? they have schedules too its not up to the BC to say you got this long only

[@tipp0183]

N-aive I-ndividual G-lorifying G-reed E-ncouraging R-acism WOW!

[@KinGAdil019]

I hope Def Jam don't do Dave East like they did Krit

[@Lasheem]

KinGAdil019 was just about to comment this

[@DocKaosBeats]

Probably won't happen since Nas is co-signing him I don't think Nas is like that

[@ericpage2172]

kapone815 Nas runs Mass Appeal. I don't think he's associated with Def Jam

[@senseierb5337]

only thing Dave east did was sign a distribution deal, so it wont be the same.

[@DoublePause]

KinGAdil019 ya it's a different kind of deal with East... It's a partnership

[@mcook-69don]

krit and cyhi need a collab album.

[@fr3shSwag]

That album would be epic. Cyhi so slept on!

[@dre807k]

yooo!! that would be left field! nobody would see that coming.

[@DruuCPR]

amen

K.R.I.T - 👑 King Remembered In Time

[@nick9249]

Young new rappers Charlamagne? KRIT a legend faaaawk u mean

[@Blowingood]

Jacob Garcia maan that's what I said been on krit since 09

[@354allday]

Jacob Garcia I think he meant young as in the tier wit Kendrick Cole and others who still in their primes not the young mumble rappers

[@lifestraight]

KRIT not a legend yet. I like him too, but you gotta have classics.

[@nick9249]

lifestraight I would argue KRIT has a few classics. KRIT Wuz Here and ReturnOf4Eva are for sure classics. You could argue some of his other mixtape too.

[@lifestraight]

Jacob Garcia I own Return of 4Eva and I like it but I don't know that those albums are classics. Maybe classics amongst KRIT fans but not in the broader Hip Hop community, and I don't mean white boys either, I mean respected rap journalists, rap enthusiasts, critics and fans of the culture.

[@aaliyahmiggins4368]

Come on Mississippi !

[@KasanovaKee325]

This mans storytelling and how he paints a picture with his lyrics is what makes him one of two of my favorite rappers today and 10 years from now all time.

A beard can really make a man look fine af! especially a black man.

[@theiggod6921]

sup boo?

[@jewzflexible3830]

very humble dude

[@juswolf22]

Krit is my fav artist all time. I remember back in the day everybody was downing the south like we jus make laffy taffy music, and people was like who y'all got that can spit besides 3 stack and scarface. Krit is like best of both world he can give you mainstream and some real shit

[@hssnn7547]

One of my fav rappers atm, and top 3 in the rap game right now. Criminally underrated

[@Neoldsoul]

I wish this interview was longer.

[@GeeseHoward1984]

one of the most underrated rappers in the industry along with Curren$y

[@Kdub144]

i got all his mixtapes mane, my dude K.R.I.T is slepted on!!

[@LowQualityBeats]

yee

[@nyyempire]

YES!!! He finally left. KRIT was never utilized right with a major label. You know this means dope shit coming out!!!! Hyped

[@AaronBrown2015]

Envy seem like the type to look down on folks that speak like Krit as if Krit is a dummy. Don't be confused on someone's intelligence just because they speak a different lingo that you

[@AaronBrown2015]

I know thats what im saying, but you know the narrative that people think folks from the south are dumb because of the way they speak

[@CJ-oc2ge]

Aaron Brown It seems like Envy isn't intrigued with substance. He's very indulged when it's about money, cars, clothes, thots and thotting !

[@kingrememberedintime3859]

Aaron Brown truuuuueee 2 chainz voice

[@Columbiadwk]

Aaron Brown

[@demeye578]

im still waiting on that big krit and yelawolf album

[@BaltazarBeatz]

Yup! Country Cousins

[@TROY55ify]

demeY e he better not ever make an album with that wack artist! Yelawolf is trash, K.R.I.T is a great in the making.

[@ggjj2909]

too bad yelawolf on that country singing shit now

[@myrkir9249]

Big krit is a beast. Cant wait for that double album coming soon.

[@itsmob4life]

We need to support great artist like Krit. BUY HIS ALBUMS AND GO TO HIS SHOWS!

[@Buttachuck]

This dude is ULTRA talented! Hope he receives his just due! Been slept on WAAAAAY too long. I'm buying whatever he puts out man. Krizzle!

[@ashleyharden6105]

Krit been independent whether he really was or not Def Jam never backed him...this guy so slept on bruh...i know im late as he'll but i think Big Krit is the number 1 underrated artist and producer....

[@icetrain11]

Thats the homie right there...he the truth on every track he get on.

[@jazdux6651]

He so dope, so intelligent and so handsome

[@jenasisreign]

I think we as consumers need to help these independent artist break the mold that the industry is trying to put every artist in. I prefer underground and independent artist because they're not on script. Its the only way to bring variety back to music. I have a lot of respect for Big Krit.

[@AJ24773]

So underrated.

[@CMTheHollow]

one of the most under-rated artist out now.

[@missioninprogress9720]

handsome and humble

[@dtb4738]

"Wuz here" is a classic!

[@lorrainejoubertboutique18]

Good gracious that is one fine black man!!! Beautiful inside and out. Lawd help me, help me please. I'm not too happy with the 18 minute video though. I think Krit deserved more shine than that BC. get it together!

[@kid4romafrica402]

This guy's music is good for the soul. I can always bump his mixtapes on that late night drive shit. (K)ing (R)emembered (I)n (T)ime

Kriiiiit! this nigga be jamming, word play & delivery so mulfuckn wicked!

[@Fabo100]

Been a fan since 2010, I'm tired of saying "he's so underrated", yeah at this point he is, but at the same time so many people say that so it makes me feel like people are aware of his amazing AMAZING skills and his soulful sound. Cole, Kendrick, and K.R.I.T

[@Allergic2Nonsense]

Been f*ckin wit krit since like 2009. Most definitely slept on, I'm driving to that (It's better) mixtape now.

[@Allergic2Nonsense]

[@tipp0183]

GOTTA watch 13th on Netflix. Its Incredible, absolutely incredible! Its heartbreaking but I'm glad i know now whats really going on.

[@Noelle.Tyy0890]

I love him. I been a fan of his since 2012 when I first heard "Boobie Miles". Now I haven't been listening to his music much in the last few years but I still keep up with him on social media. I'm not understanding why it took BET all these years to have him on the Hip Hop Awards as if he's a new artist. He has been underrated for so many years. He is such a good rapper and he's so cute too. His sexy chocolate ass! Lol 😫🙌🏽

[@single733]

down and out was the first krit song I heard ...this guy is special an amazing artist

[@Noelle.Tyy0890]

Yes he is definitely one of a kind. His songs are so good!

[@Kennyarnold16]

nothing but love in the comments! as it should be! K.R.I.T is too slept on!

[@ericprofit]

I really liked this interview. I watched 13th it was good.

[@MayaD773]

Got put on to Krit years ago, loved his performance at the awards 👍🏽

[@Ant8c_]

One of the most unappreciated rappers in the game !!

[@siealdoffoney]

K.R.I.T. is legit bruh honest dude need more shine underrated MC genuis mindset his performance at Hip Hop Awards 2016 is must watch shout out Mississippi

[@akymsims]

Top Three Rappers that also produce their own music. El-P, Black Milk, and Big K.R.I.T.

[@lante817]

I know you said three, but Cole makes some ill beats too

[@owene869]

[@leneikasummers2811]

Lmfao facts!

[@moddymoddy1]

smoothest interview I've ever seen on the breakfast club. He is very intelligent and the country twang doesn't overshadow his articulation. #MULTIALUMNI

[@RealestGuyInTheRoom-]

Lowkey bruh Big Krit is one of my favorite rappers but I gotta admit that I got lost in the sauce and forgot about him. Sadly, for some people it takes somebody like Drake or whoever is at the top to remind you how great another artist is when they shout them out on Twitter or do a feature with them. That's when people all of sudden be saying "Yeah I've been f'ing with Krit's music long time" but they never mention their names ever in a Hip Hop convo nor have they even listened to the album more than once.

[@anduin1]

He's one of my favorite new rappers. The south stays winning.

[@natesmart9959]

MISSISSIPPI STAND UP
