    “ I do it once I do it twice. Now there’s steak with the beans n rice” That line was so cold it touched my soul. KRS killed this song 🎧 🎶 🔥

      Bro I definitely agree that line is cool blooded. It also touched my soul as well because I grew up in a household that was pretty poor and I can identify with a lot of what you said. I remember hearing this song when I was a young teenage boy it was an amazing song Back Then and it still is now

      No argument there, J. I'm a Soulful House music DJ but I was there at the birth of Hip Hop. I also remember the park jams where DJs would plug their equipment up to the nearest lamp post and it WAS ON for the next couple of hours! And what was so cool was that people could drink their beer and wine and smoke their weed and the cops would be there but they'd be off nearby because they were assigned there. But they didn't have to worry about anything because people knew how to act back then. The MCs and the DJs would both battle each other! Back then, it was all about one rapper's rhyme being better than the other rapper's. And the DJs would be battling over who could cut records the best. And there wasn't all that yelling, cursing, dissing each other, calling women BITCHES and HOES, or shooting and stuff!
      Yes, J. It was definitely a cool time! But all that changed due to two things. One was the song "Don't Push Me" by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five and people misinterpreted the song's true meaning. Two, the evolution of Gangster Rap on the West Coast trying to keep up and outdo the East Coast. The true message of Hip Hop has long been lost.
      And BTW, I knew Scott LaRock and played ball against him shortly before he was killed.

      The lyrics, music, video are so well made and meaningful it's astonishing the amount of bs BDP/KRS1 had to deal with at the time, including a push to have him, "banned," or censorship by racism as I call it.

      You mean hoods? U whiteboys never even seen a ghetto or hood. By ur response, u can't be a black man cause this is a tale that represents most if not all black males situation. Stop watching TV to get ur information and get out there and see for yourself. I bet you won't tho tubeboy. FOH

KRS One is the king of the hip scene 🙌. Thank you for bringing me back to a time when my best friends Roy and Ray my brothers really were still alive.

    The bassline is not of this world. Songs like this are why brothers bought JVCs, Kenwoods, Alpines, powerful amps, 10 and 12-inch woofers back in the 80s and stuffed it in the trunk of their cars, lol.

See, these are my hero's. i would love to see him in person and get his autograph, I could give a fuck less about a movie star.
