[@SonSolo]

Nore my dude, but man he's gotta shut up

[@Ali-7676]

I saw KRS in concert twice.....He can definitely control a crowd and he used to get the crowd involved. Other rappers would just go up and perform, but KRS would get the audience in it. I remember he would split up the crowd and ask which side had the real hip hoppers. And always at the end of his show, would invite local talent up to perform.

[@punanny123]

Im a hardcore reggae man from way back in the day when musicians used real drums, real guitars, etc and KRS1 was one of 3 rappers who got me into hip hop. He's a lyrical professor.

[@lovemycity420]

We definitely need a KRS1 movie about his life, from the “shelter to the Teacher”

Every time I see him. I pitch him that idea.

[@c-losayala2997]

Shout out to the idea to have this shot with a hand held camera! just made it feel more rugged and personal and an immersive experience. One of the best interviews I’ve seen! NORE got a gift for this. This SHOULD have more views.

[@ayoaloba4716]

The bambataa situation with all due respect to KRS ONE is what perpetuating the toxicity of brotherhood. I don't care what position Bambataa is accredited in the history of hiphop culture. We have to hold each other accountable for any sexual misconduct. We all know that in the earlier days it was easy to get away with inappropriate behaviour. But the game is changing. People are no longer falling in line and accepting all sorts of shenanigans. We need to protect the culture and not individuals.

[@Tofa_illo]

yea his response and the quick change of subject was pretty uncomfortable.

[@jenisejackson5408]

@Ayo Aloba. Facts! KRS-ONE answer is problematic, he doesn't care about what alleged sexual assault, because Bambataa is his friend.

[@fredyosorio3554]

he was talking about separating the body of work. I still like the songs, but I don't like the accusations, it doesn't make me a sexual misconduct supporter

[@gokuparaguaio1319]

Listen to "Say Gal" by Boogie Down Productions and you will know KRS opinion about sexual abuse

[@papeperview]

KRS was molested as well by Bambataa just like Hassan Campbell

[@charlesezrarevmongoosecane5097]

When KRS1 was describing a Hip Hop currency it reminded me of the BIG DADDY KANE song “ I’ll Take You There “

[@PRT7192]

It’s amazing how he knew Shan’s verses like his own after all theses years.

[@jasonhardy142]

South Bronx track was so dope when I heard it back in the day. Today's Hip Hop does not have the same feel.

[@Amidat]

Because everything he said on there was real. The "when b-boys went to the latest jam - it got shot up - we went home and same damn.... there's got to be a better way to hear our music everyday... remember Bronx River ruling think with Dj red alert and chuck chill out on the mix... paterson and millbrook projects - casanova all over you couldn't stop it - 9 lives crew the cypress boys the real rock steady taking out these toys..... it was 76 to 1980 the dreads in Brooklyn was crazy... you couldn't come out your set with no hip hop or the pistols would go....." That was real. Stuff today is inorganic.

[@truthseeker3397]

Nore love the energy with krs and you. Please do a part 2. 2020 needs this!

Glad to hear KRS acknowledge shinehead as his inspiration. I always thought that I could hear shine heads inspiration on Criminal Minded but never heard KRS say it before.

I enjoyed this interview. Liked how KRS explained everything. He gave props to everyone before him and those he knew of and was trying to get started & get on like them.

[@CrisGuerrero723]

I love KRS One to death! But I don't agree with his take on Bambata. Still, always much respect and love for the Teacher

[@johndoe-gh2or]

Cris Guerrero all he means is you need to separate the man from the art

[@CrisGuerrero723]

@@johndoe-gh2or I get that part. The part where he said that issue is with Bambata and his victim, I disagree. I'm from Bambata's neighborhood, and there are allegedly 100s of victims. I think Bambata's situation is a community issue, not a personal one.

[@charlesezrarevmongoosecane5097]

agree, it's so shocking even to this day.

[@TaraGeorge711]

Cris Guerrero agreed. I love KRS and I struggle with his views on Bam. If he’s a “teacher” he needs to hold people accountable. He sweeps Bams sexual abuse under the rug. Not cool. Bam took advantage of those young boys. On a lighter note - much respect to those who write their OWN lyrics. That to me makes a real MC.

[@geegwuapo2186]

Krs didn’t know the exact circumstances on bambata. Nore talked about this in another drink champs but I can’t remember which one it was.

[@nocturnalron69]

Love the show. Love KRS ONE . The moving camera did make me a little sea sick. Would like to just watch people talk without all the movement. Thanks guys

[@jorgemanzo2306]

Krs One is a real one. I saw a show for $5 he really does not care about money. There was about 40 to 50 people in the crowd and still rocked the show. I airbrushed a shirt with his face busted a freestyle and included the airbrush. He signed it!

[@4687878]

KRS ONE is the GOAT to me,...when he rapped ,.he taught,...and tried to bring about unity which is what Hip Hop was originally doing,..teaching youth to breakdance and use the culture to uplift and stray away from voilence in the hood !!! I hope he comes back and helps the culture dig out of this gangster bullshit !!!

[@4687878]

I agree,...KRS ONE is the Hip Hop Malcolm X,...so necessary for the youth !!!

[@PantsingtonHardware]

Soooo, the story about KRS-One Vs. MC Shan was literally the real world version of Simba (KRS being Simba) performing/singing "I can't wait to be king"...Big bless.

[@lloydfrancis9149]

This is why I respect KRS1 for intertwining in West Indian Jamaican culture into hip Hop when Americans didn't know what it was. But then again he's part Caribbean.

[@mikesteez617]

Dope interview....🔥

[@solethugida6936]

NORE needs to let guests finish their stories damn lol I love Nore just needs to improve that aspect

[@ChaitanyaParab]

Same with Joe. The Hip Hop Universe appreciate his job as a journalist interviewing ol heads but he don't let guests Complete their side of story

[@keke92174]

Yes I agree. I was getting so annoyed.

[@abuhudaifah_0]

@Mister Keyes he's not a journalist. He created something which you enjoy whilst learning on the job. No other platform can have guest to open up like here. Because he either knows them personally or has history with them or even both.

[@abuhudaifah_0]

@Mister Keyes True. But bare in mind the science is old friends having a drink or 20 chilling catching up. But I recall he has taken the comments on board and learning to let "guest" Speak.

[@nukems6397]

KRS1 was about to say some real ish about Nas and he interrupted him😔
