Respect mi yut.now if you. we etc..can get the yuts to sit and eat this knowledge. Understand what it truly is about. Where it was .where its going and look now..😲😮😕😞😞😩
Reed My Sole You are absolutely right. Big up the Blast Master KRS-1. I may not agree with everything but I have listened to his music and interviews for many years to know that this man is worth my attention. He is one of the most intelligent and articulate voices out of the hip-hop culture.
im from Europe and the reason why we respect so much the hiphop culture is because we are raised with some valours that in USA dont exist anymore...valours like respect, shame, humbleness etc; we are down to earth since an ealry age...grand parents are also a big part in our development as adults...thats why we so attracted to artists with a real message like Immortal Tehnique, Tech N9ne, Eminem, AOTP, RA and many more
Yeah and we ve never been raised hating another races though. In fact me personally i cannot understand how tf can u hate someone based on their skin color thats idiotic
corporate america twisted it into a commercial minstrel show it is today. "money money money money, get money, fuck bitches, drink alcohol, wear this, talk like this, fuck more bitches, wear skirts, kiss your homeboy"
The attitude and movement of what was hiphop has ended. In the same sense there are still punks walking around there is still old school original hiphop heads that carry that attitude. Now days it’s kids with pink dreads too high to write a story for people to truly relate to. It’s turned into a circus IMO
The funny thing about Hip Hop is most countries outside of the US respects Hip Hop more than the people in the US who created it. Its sad that in Japan they respect lyricism more than we do here in the US.
@@authentickay1882 No it’s actually true. In europe you cant get far without talent. People over here respect you way more if you can still rap over a real Hip-Hop beat & talk about real topics.
antiembishop07 Yeah, I remember Russell Simmons saying that he couldn’t get any radio station in the USA to play the Kurtis Blow record he was pushing, until he went to Amsterdam and they played it with the quickness..
KRS is smart AF.. and I was in jr high and high school during the great days of hip hop, when hip hop was not mainstream.. I love it then.. wish we can get back to those days .. we’d all be better off...
Bro you gotta bring him back in 2020, I wanna hear his views on what is going on right now. KRS you want a place that lives, breathes. eats, drinks, sleep, and is hip hop? Come to Naples, Italy...
Germany is the largest market for Hip-Hop outside of US America. What is phenomenal is that to this day the Germans are following Old-School Rap & Hip-Hop. They are very interested in Underground and Conscious US Rap & Hip-Hop. This may be because Rhyming and Justice is part of German history and Identity. Germans have so much literature on slavery,as they once have been slaved for hundreds of years and fought themselves free from Bondage & Slavery.
a lot of black and African culture gets accepted in Europe more than America, and its sad. this reminds me of how Josephine Baker(a famous dancer 100 years ago) had to go to Paris to dance, because Americans were too racist to watch a black dancer get all the attention on stage. i also see it in dancehall, there are groups all over Europe that love dancehall and are passionate about learning dancehall dancing. yet white Americans still have trouble even learning black American dances. and whats funny about it is, America is the country that has been molded and shaped with African culture since its inception, America is the nation that has had a sizable black population for 400 years. and yet Europe, the only place that is truly the white man's land, ironically shows more love to black people and cultures.
The Teacha dropping more knowlege. I'm from Switzerland and have always wondered why I've been able to see so many amazing hip hop acts here (KRS, Wu, Gangstarr, Dilated, Sean P, JMT, Cypress Hill, Lord Finesse, Large Pro, OC etc...). I assumed they were getting better pay out here... but I guess it's that a lot of us live by the founding principles mentioned in this video - Peace, love, unity and having fun. As a small country with 4 official languages we were born into a country which by it's own nature is accepting of different cultures. To this day the only physical altercation I've ever seen at a hip-hop show was M.O.P.'s DJ punching the local warm-up DJ on stage - and the crowd went cold as ice...
My first record in 1989 after iron curtain came down in Germany was a bdp ep, great man, love to krs one, i enjoy him still 30years later, great man, always on the trigger, Greetings from south east germany, Dj_Akey 😎👍
He's on point for the most part, but he's off on a couple of things in my opinion. First, there's no doubt that certain European countries embraced Hip Hop before *mass*-America did -- I remember NWA going to France *a lot* back when they first popped -- but he has to put some onus on the *people*, too. It wasn't just the government. White America, the individuals and companies that own those venues artists perform in, was *not* going to book and attend Hip Hop artists' shows back then. They do it now because it's profitable. It's all about the money. Artists like KRS-One, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, and etc are no longer profitable in America, so you won't get booked because the *people* can't make a dollar off of you. They won't attend your shows. There's ageism in *Mainstream* Hip Hop; it's all about "what's the fresh new thing?" When it comes down to certain European countries, it's not just the government, but the *people* have always embraced *Black culture* as a whole in those certain European countries, like France, Belgium and Germany. Marvin Gaye was treated like a king in Belgium when he moved there to escape from all his demons in the US and UK; in the process he recorded the biggest hit of his career. It's the *people* that controls what does or doesn't sell.
i dont say i agree 100 % ..but still i like to listen to him.he says some good stuff.i remember i was in love with africa bambaataa.the samples of kraftwerk...i am from Germany and knew Kraftwerk music anyway.
Krs one, Erik sermon, rakim, brand Nubian, tupac. Dj quik, wu tang, bonethugz, public enemy, and many more I will never forget how there emceeing inspired me when I listen to them they make me wanna spit a rap like I was just having a conversation on wax
He could mention them, however, KRS doesn't really acknowledge "Rappers" who weren't originators or don't drop knowledge. RUN-DMC were of that "Rap" generation not genuine Hip Hop.
It's funny cause I just noticed too how most classic hip hop artist and legends your more in Europe than the US i always wondered that but it's true... more true hip hop culture can be found in Europe nowadays than in the US
The comment on Switzerland is pretty true. Being a Swiss who was born and lived abroad my entire life, I've noticed coming here for my studies that Swiss kids like to dress street, listen to various urban genres like Hip-hop, Reggaeton, modern R&B...
Want to thank krs on his encouragement to unite all under the banner following the teachings of bam and Farrakhan london was with the trojan reggae era though but im droppin my beats phsychadelic rock boom bap i got 6 fans so far man Nd demanding me to emcee get my ass back on the mic for some drive and to help my community .wanna thank my elders of the culture for reminding me fuck your color its your innner being peace and love man.
I been telling my friends they ruining Hiphop, and they always say its the younger generations time now. Kills me man. They think its just different styles like its subjective. I always knew hiphop was from the pain.
I've always said the same regarding how many hip-hop pioneers don't get much respect or recognition in the US. Many places in Europe and even Asia show much more appreciate for true Hip-Hop than the US does. Damn shame
It was originally, Knowledge Reins Supreme Over nearly everyone. Except Bob in Pittsburgh. That Dude Is Crazy. But "KRS-One -Ebip-TDIC" looked ridiculous on albums.
A good chunk of this is what Lord Jamar has been speaking about in regards to Whites being guests. White Europeans were into Hip Hop BEFORE Whites in America. There was always this sort of White Supremacy mindset going on here in the USA that Blacks have had to deal with on a daily basis. Nomatter how positive the messages coming from Bambaataa's own mouth, there were no White fans or Hip Hop heads into the music unless they were fellow musicians like Blondie, The Talking Heads, The Clash, etc..
The corporates have succeded in destroying hip hop. If im not listening to the og's then im fuckin wit the overseas hip hop. Russian, Asian, Nigerian, Jamaican countries, etc. Fuck wit the essence more that the founding country. Sad man🤦🏽♂️.
This mans testicular fortitude can be seen from space. Your borderline homophobic comments and thoughts are futile, dumb and ignorant. Reminiscent of yourself I’m guessing. Homophobes are equal to racists in today’s world.
50 Tyson is true hip hop today, dude is the truth! Lol ok I'm lying. KRS reminds me of my older uncles when I used to sit around as a kid listening to them tell stories and history about stuff. Always been a KRS fan but didn't know he had so much knowledge until I saw him in Hidden Colors part 2.
NZU TYBO Not at first, given the fact I was a kid when those albums came out and I was more into the music rather the lyrics. Now that I'm older I listen to both the beat and the lyrics and understand what was said in the songs. Same way with 2 Live Crew first album.
Love for mentioning Switzerland. But they painted over the full graffitiy walls on my towns trainstation. Nobody deserves the title techer as much as Krs! Always love hearing him talk. Edit: but the American trends always swap over, but in europe we mostly achieve the line before its to much.
This is dope, respect Vlad for uploading KRS and Afrika Bambaata gems recently and not just these new drunk, ratchet rappers on coke. Please get some of the intelligent new rappers up J Cole, Kendrick, Joey Bada$$ and Run the Jewels.
he corrected the year when Planet Rock was released..first he said 81..then he said 82. He was correct 82 it was..I remember how popular it was..The track was inspired form the German act Kraftwerk hit Trans Europe Express.
Saw Krsone, ms melody, jamalski in Germany rippin the stage over 20 years ago and smoked outside the spot with kenny parker telling us all about hip hop in nyc
Vlad needs to do what Irishandchin SoundchatTV does in dancehall. .have interviews with Selectors DJs soundsystems hype men like Joe Lickshot the flava flav of dancehall..and they tell story's of who, when, what was going on etc. Who pioneered the dancehall scene doing the early yrs of di dancehall ehh.
You know it's weird if I didn't travel myself I would disagree with KRS 1 but this brotha speaks the truth. It's Amazing how Hip hop and African Americans period are view in other countries vs America. It's almost like night and day. The only think I disagree with is KRS 1 letting average day Americans off the hook. In America Iggy wins tons of hip hop awards while in Herford Germany there is a biggg ass statue of Tupac that was created by an Italian artists. They have Tupac looking like a Greek God. lol European countries are way more knowledgeable about hip hop than Americans are now. That is why I tell people to get your passport and travel. Your view of your self and the world will change instantly.
That's a crying shame what KRS is talking about... SMH... But that sounds like America, though. And a lot - not all - of the younger acts coming out now have no respect for the bricklayers to this -shit-. You actually hear some dissin the old heads... It's crazy. I'm not saying you gotta be a walking dictionary stuck in the past 24/7 but... *you gotta know something about where this **-shit-** started, though.*
Normally i watch these videos like any other but with KRS its like watching a lecture, this man is very intelligent from what I can see, it's refreshing to see a rapper with a brain on an interview.
Over the summer I was smoking with my coworker on our lunch break and he called up Africa Bambaataa and put him on speaker phone. Shit was soooooo dope. My man is in his 30s now but apparently Bam was in the hood talking to the kids (Rican kids in this case, not that it matters) and is still in contact with a ton of them.
There is no "European Government." Europe is a continent with dozens of countries. There is no unified government of the nations. I will say that underground emcees get shows in countries like Italy, Sweden, France, etc. while they don't get love in their own cities here in the US. The thing is that you can't paint Europe with a broad brush because hip hop isn't getting the same love in places like Hungary.
NOCDIB if there’s no European government then why do we need everything we do to be agreed by the EU. Come on, get out of the cave and realise they’ve turned these sovereign nations into a European super nation.
Well there is a European Parliament. I don't know about Hungary but in Austria (a place you'd never think) has TOP SHELF hip hop. Listen to Sofa Surfers
I will go so far as to say graffiti art is the first Tick Tock or first tweets maybe you can say UA-cam but at the Forefront was Hip Hop. Give it a name. What do u think??
SMH! Griff said KRS1 has been paid for.He knows what not to say,I can see it and hear it in all his interviews.KRS1 has POWER and he's a big TREAT to this INDUSTRY.KRS1 is a natural born revolutionary,and he can this rap bs back to the golden age OVERNITE
When KRS 1 talks, I listen. Love Hip-Hop to death. Respect to the man.
Amen!
Salute!
Respect mi yut.now if you. we etc..can get the yuts to sit and eat this knowledge. Understand what it truly is about. Where it was .where its going and look now..😲😮😕😞😞😩

If hip hop was about peace unity love and having fun, then we kinda got it fuckd up today
The movement got infiltrated.
corporate america twisted it into a commercial minstrel show it is today.
"money money money money, get money, fuck bitches, drink alcohol, wear this, talk like this, fuck more bitches, wear skirts, kiss your homeboy"
Facts.....
IAin't Nervous the mainstream is what got it fucked up
IAin't Nervous because there is no hip hop today it's rap and rap is diffrent than hip hop
i know we're in the party rap era, but we need more teachers like him in the game
im otw
Hip hop was a culture, now it's a cliche.
Basillio11 once a culture always a culture. Being dismissed as a cliche makes it cliche. Stay positive brother
You've never been one with hip-hop
The attitude and movement of what was hiphop has ended. In the same sense there are still punks walking around there is still old school original hiphop heads that carry that attitude. Now days it’s kids with pink dreads too high to write a story for people to truly relate to. It’s turned into a circus IMO
@@ashhodson2063 but thats one of the concepts, having fun. The culture is meant to evolve.
rap is yall niggas really need to know the difference rap is not hiphop
The funny thing about Hip Hop is most countries outside of the US respects Hip Hop more than the people in the US who created it. Its sad that in Japan they respect lyricism more than we do here in the US.
That’s what I said. 👏👏👏👏
Please stfu. Y’all say anything to diminish African Americans
@@authentickay1882 No it’s actually true. In europe you cant get far without talent. People over here respect you way more if you can still rap over a real Hip-Hop beat & talk about real topics.
Dont forget the netherlands was the first to play hip hop on the radio besides new york..
ELchimbo quepasa wow I did not know
is that true?
Exactly!!

Keep bringing KRS-One back Vlad. This the shit people need to see and hear
Bro you gotta bring him back in 2020, I wanna hear his views on what is going on right now.
KRS you want a place that lives, breathes. eats, drinks, sleep, and is hip hop? Come to Naples, Italy...
we need more krs interviews!! less jamar....
For real. Jammar a fucking tool. Although he comes through with some words of wisdom. But mostly garbage
How about both
Mass Ephect you are garbage
***** fuck you as well pal
Yes sir
This is a huge eye opener. I thought I was going to get bored. But he kept my my attemption. He is a very charismatic speaker.

this guy is A WALKING LEGEND. much love, props and blessings to you, south Bronx teacher KRS One !
A brilliant mind is always hungry for knowledge. He is one of the most humble and knowledge based men of today.
I could listen to him speak all day, he is oozing with knowledge!!
Watching krs live i will never forget.hiphop in the flesh.The Teacha!
The Teacha dropping more knowlege.

how did you put a bar on the "America did" ?
This man is so knowledgable. Much respect to a legendary pioneer. #LivingLegend
i love KRS-1. He the truth. He the best. Bambaataa be banging boys tho.
That was my first thought. No respect to him anymore, that's disgusting!
i dont say i agree 100 % ..but still i like to listen to him.he says some good stuff.i remember i was in love with africa bambaataa.the samples of kraftwerk...i am from Germany and knew Kraftwerk music anyway.
Africa bambada, the great one!! Everyone should watch Beat street…✊🏽

After this video I'm so proud to be European !! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Krs salute! Thanks for the knowledge bro
love to hear KRS on speak, passion -knowledge :)
Krs1 is def.one of the greatest...just wish he would also mention run-dmc as well..they did A LOT for the culture before him.
He could mention them, however, KRS doesn't really acknowledge "Rappers" who weren't originators or don't drop knowledge. RUN-DMC were of that "Rap" generation not genuine Hip Hop.
He mentions them a few times, just not in this clip.
It's funny cause I just noticed too how most classic hip hop artist and legends your more in Europe than the US i always wondered that but it's true... more true hip hop culture can be found in Europe nowadays than in the US

I love these interviews with KRS One!
Yes
Hearken to a genius. His work in "Hidden Colors 2" really makes me pay attention when he talks..
This man speaks the truth.
This was in 2013, look at the state of Hip Hop today in 2019. Things just ain’t the same, too many fakes out there 😔
The corporates have succeded in destroying hip hop. If im not listening to the og's then im fuckin wit the overseas hip hop. Russian, Asian, Nigerian, Jamaican countries, etc. Fuck wit the essence more that the founding country. Sad man🤦🏽♂️.
We need Lord Jamar and KRS1 discussing everything... Would be great to see!
***** Lord Jamar is a hating leech
*****
i know and thats why
KRS is a feminine sell out !!!
Long Live.. Lord Jamar !!!! Rip : Makaveli
This mans testicular fortitude can be seen from space. Your borderline homophobic comments and thoughts are futile, dumb and ignorant. Reminiscent of yourself I’m guessing. Homophobes are equal to racists in today’s world.
I haven't really heard a lot of his music big I like listening to him talk
If you love Hip Hop music, then you would love KRS. Dude is strictly a legend
Krs-1 on that real talk like always straight facts and history all about that love and unity
Yes!
50 Tyson is true hip hop today, dude is the truth! Lol ok I'm lying. KRS reminds me of my older uncles when I used to sit around as a kid listening to them tell stories and history about stuff. Always been a KRS fan but didn't know he had so much knowledge until I saw him in Hidden Colors part 2.
NZU TYBO Not at first, given the fact I was a kid when those albums came out and I was more into the music rather the lyrics. Now that I'm older I listen to both the beat and the lyrics and understand what was said in the songs. Same way with 2 Live Crew first album.
Love for mentioning Switzerland.
But they painted over the full graffitiy walls on my towns trainstation.
Nobody deserves the title techer as much as Krs!
Always love hearing him talk.
Edit: but the American trends always swap over, but in europe we mostly achieve the line before its to much.
This is dope, respect Vlad for uploading KRS and Afrika Bambaata gems recently and not just these new drunk, ratchet rappers on coke. Please get some of the intelligent new rappers up J Cole, Kendrick, Joey Bada$$ and Run the Jewels.
Word!
he corrected the year when Planet Rock was released..first he said 81..then he said 82. He was correct 82 it was..I remember how popular it was..The track was inspired form the German act Kraftwerk hit Trans Europe Express.
Preach!
Saw Krsone, ms melody, jamalski in Germany rippin the stage over 20 years ago and smoked outside the spot with kenny parker telling us all about hip hop in nyc
Thats pure passion. I love this man
Switzerland... (Montreuax Jazz festival...!!!!!!!)
Vlad needs to do what Irishandchin SoundchatTV does in dancehall. .have interviews with Selectors DJs soundsystems hype men like Joe Lickshot the flava flav of dancehall..and they tell story's of who, when, what was going on etc. Who pioneered the dancehall scene doing the early yrs of di dancehall ehh.
where can i watch the full interview???
You know it's weird if I didn't travel myself I would disagree with KRS 1 but this brotha speaks the truth. It's Amazing how Hip hop and African Americans period are view in other countries vs America. It's almost like night and day. The only think I disagree with is KRS 1 letting average day Americans off the hook. In America Iggy wins tons of hip hop awards while in Herford Germany there is a biggg ass statue of Tupac that was created by an Italian artists. They have Tupac looking like a Greek God. lol European countries are way more knowledgeable about hip hop than Americans are now. That is why I tell people to get your passport and travel. Your view of your self and the world will change instantly.
True true
That's a crying shame what KRS is talking about... SMH... But that sounds like America, though. And a lot - not all - of the younger acts coming out now have no respect for the bricklayers to this -shit-. You actually hear some dissin the old heads... It's crazy. I'm not saying you gotta be a walking dictionary stuck in the past 24/7 but... *you gotta know something about where this **-shit-** started, though.*
He literally is the start wtf are you talking about?
The greatest!!
The same difference
between what they do (Mt
v) and what they are (africa bambataa)
Word!
this interview with Kris KRS1 shouldve been longer or split into 2 or 3 15 30 min. Segments..he was just gettin started
He is so right when i went to Europe the Graffiti the love the People they show me we are one people not a group of races
Blastmaster KRS still spittin knowledge in 2015
Haha ..Geto Boys "G-Code" playing in the background
Real Shit
because during the Cold War a dominant European West Germany was bumping Bambaattaa who sampled Kraftwerk
Respekt!
America never wanted Hip Hop until they could manipulate it. Please believe it.
Oh, no it's true what you say, Fam no doubt!
Knowledge reigns supreme
3 MEN you should be listening to on UA-cam:
1. KRS One
2. Louis Farrakhan
3. Dr. Umar Johnson
you forgot Chuck D,
dope list
Your list is made of nothing but crooks.. liars....and racial opportunists.
How about.. 1. Lord Jamar..2. Dr. Khalid Muhammad.. 3. Tariq Nasheed. * Above all.. General Yahanna of ISUPK !!!! A better list for You Tube. Facts.
💯💯
Yeh.. 1950s and 60s generation (our parents!!!) were HELD DOWN...!!!!!!
Same as 80s rock bands that are huge in Europe and Japan, and laughed at in the U.S. by the elitist rock media
KRS-One kept creating it... Now more they see. (The Bronx)...
Mike Smalls. "The Plan" check it out.
Normally i watch these videos like any other but with KRS its like watching a lecture, this man is very intelligent from what I can see, it's refreshing to see a rapper with a brain on an interview.
He is hip hop
There is this saying that idle time is wasted time and wasted time is time to get in trouble so to speak for the people
The Punk Rock Culture is so similar to Hip-hop Culture
I am from central europe and in my young days punkers with hip-hopers was uniting just because they needed more fists to beat neonazis
You think that KRS has lost his mind so much that he is actually believing this shit.
U lost ur mind to think that it's not true
He speaks real shit though. The dude is wise as hell.
ignore this uncultured fuck
Ok buddy I'ma pull your bitch card now & ask you to state ONE thing he said that was a lie or mislead teachings?
Ryu Chase oh sorry I have a boy friend I really need my coffee lol
This guy is so smart
Just like how USA did MOTOWN similar movements, A ONE KRS ONE
This makes me wanna move to Europe even more
Where are the "self destruction" and "we're all in the same gang" records of the last 20 years? It's a shame.
where and when was that interview made? :o
Over the summer I was smoking with my coworker on our lunch break and he called up Africa Bambaataa and put him on speaker phone. Shit was soooooo dope. My man is in his 30s now but apparently Bam was in the hood talking to the kids (Rican kids in this case, not that it matters) and is still in contact with a ton of them.
Bet you regret posting this now lol
LMAO ^^
Kids….. damn. Now look
There is no "European Government." Europe is a continent with dozens of countries. There is no unified government of the nations. I will say that underground emcees get shows in countries like Italy, Sweden, France, etc. while they don't get love in their own cities here in the US. The thing is that you can't paint Europe with a broad brush because hip hop isn't getting the same love in places like Hungary.
Well ask the hungarian governmen that. Their president is a fucking corrupt.
NOCDIB if there’s no European government then why do we need everything we do to be agreed by the EU. Come on, get out of the cave and realise they’ve turned these sovereign nations into a European super nation.
Well there is a European Parliament. I don't know about Hungary but in Austria (a place you'd never think) has TOP SHELF hip hop. Listen to Sofa Surfers
It's been five years with this comment but I think he means in general, not necessarily all of Europe.
@@jarhead3571 that's right. EU only covers half of Europe.
Jamar and KRS 1 both speaking truth.
