Im white and hip hop, has shaped me massivly and help me unexplainable amounts of times. hip hop has nothing to do racialy, its a lifestyle and seeing that all of mankind have the same basic want i believe hip hop like krs says is a god given thing to help "people" no matter where there from. peace
To all of My Hip Hop brothers and sisters...Love Peace and Unity...as a B-Boy im doing the best i can right now to spread the knowledge and i hope u do that also too
first of all the great thing about hip hop is it doesnt matter what you say cuz its us it represents a movement its in your face and its not moving its a culture of its own its self aware so when you say " You can not HONESTLY think or even SAY that "the black community is advanced." You just can not. These are the most insane lies straight from the Pit of Hell!" it doesnt affect us. cuz we are here we are present even if u dont like us we are here. you understand we are here. move us.
So what? Does that make him a perfect source of hip hop 😂😂😂 Absolutely not. Does that make him a good source, sure! Unless you use your brain when you listen to people, and question what they say, you will live your life a mental slave to others.
I respect KRS ONE; However, Breakin' evolved from a dance called ROCKIN' which was done to Funk music in the 1960s-1970s... It did not come from Capoeira - James Brown was the God father of Soul but really created Funk Music | indirectly James Brown did have a big connection with Breakin' & Hip Hop Culture
@zigrendon I RESPECT YOUR OPINION BUT PLEASE RETHINK EVERYTHING AFTER I TELL YOU THIS: HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE TRUE, UNDERGROUND/CLASSIC/OLD SCHOOL RAPPERS AND NOT THE ONES YOU SEE ON TV WITH A SHITLOAD OF MONEY, DRUGS, AND WOMEN.
hiphop is a urban street culture, just because it was born within the hispanic and black community- does not necessarily mean it is contained within that minority. Anyone in the world regardless of color, nationality, age or sex can be and has been a part of hiphop history
This is ridiculous. I don't accept it. Breaking, MC'ing, DJ'ing, Graffiti can all stand on their own. Knowledge cannot. There is already knowledge in each of the 4 elements. It's redundant and illogical to say there is a 5th element. Unless it can stand on it's own, then it is not an element. When you pass on knowledge of rap to hip hopper who knows less. Are you practicing hip hop? No, you're telling them about one of the elements. I can rap without breakdancing, Dj'ing, or graffiti. You can do all these things separately. And that actually respects the scientific word element because elements combine to form molecules. But you cannot talk about "knowledge" without saying it's relation to one of the 4 elements. Therefore it is simply not an element. The most beautiful thing about hip hop is community and there is a community for each of the 4 elements in every city and they all have their own related knowledge. There is a common foundation to every element. ;) and there is no common foundation to knowledge of self because everyone is different! Period!
What an incredible man, a true activist for hip hop culture and a man of wisdom and knowledge. Maximum respect
We need you now KRS... no one is talking about current events anymore... drop an album
Knowledge and enlightment. I like it. Havent seen this one :)
I can never google this at all , I rather get the information from a pioneer like KRS-one himself and other legends beside him

What fortunate Harvard students! I hope they understand the value of his presence.
3:54 #3: breaking, capoeira, double dutch, Lindy hopping, and James Brown’s moves
look how far away those lucky people went when we are still here today.....
I am grateful for this I will be,0samaK will be a galactic music artist around the world
Just to let u know im using your video Im my final for my college paper thanks for the video.
It seems like every time I get into a KRS1 speech I get cut short. He was at the height of his speech then it fades away.
THIS MUST B-COME A PART OF ALL AA STUDIES
KRS-ONE, Intelligent man.
I just realize that you need a teacher in hip hop or any other different types of genre of music
This is a great video. Krs One is a fucking legend no one will ever come close to him
It's great to know Harvard knows something good when they see it!
Awesome!
considering and what it is is different thing..they'll consider it and change their consideration but can never change the reality of hip hop..

krs one grew up right in the heart of hip hop.. & you?
So what? Does that make him a perfect source of hip hop 😂😂😂 Absolutely not. Does that make him a good source, sure! Unless you use your brain when you listen to people, and question what they say, you will live your life a mental slave to others.

HIP HOP! HIP HOP! (Dunks)
I want to hear what Weezy thinks
wait

And it all got lost...
Chicken or egg? Insofar as blacks and hip-hop are interrelated (though it goes beyond this), I think you have your cause and effect reversed.
