He is absolutely right it is insensitive it is a crime I don't care what the man has done there should be repercussions for something and there should be sympathy for those involved , the man should just come out and I'm saying bambaata he should just come out and say I did it and I'm sorry flat out if he does that maybe it will release some stress for a whole lot of people and then the forgiveness can start the healing.
but some of them was the same age as the kids at the time...at 15 or 16 would you go tell on some adult gang members? And remember you couldn't do it behind a computer screen back then.
Absolute FACTS!! Seems to slowly start coming out that ALL these cats knew... or suspected. And everyone wants to riff on KRS? Seems the whole damn Bronx, circa the 80's, is complicit in the knowledge.
I hate the connection with KRS ONE this scandal. Afrika Bambatta should be held accountable for his sins. KRS One was speaking about Bambatta contribution to hip hop. He never said to look passed it. He referenced Bams contribution to hip hop. He was asked about the sex scandal. He sided stepped because at that time it was hearsay information. He explained that he has been around so many questionable people that for him to get into their personal business off of hearsay isn't for him to do. He says Bambatta has to be responsible for Bambatta. Krs never defended pedophilia or said look past it. He just didn't want to entertain gossip or scandalous information.
@@saintknick9713 Bambatta was wrong and Bambatta has to deal with Bambatta's actions. Kris didn't defend pedophilia. He didn't want to engage in information that was hearsay. Why? Because then it will connect him to mess that has nothing to do with him. KRS brought up Bam due to his contribution to hip hop music. They were the ones who brought up allegations connection to Bambatta's activity with kids.
No, I am going by the interview of when this became a thing that he was defending Bam. Nore- How is Hip hop suppose to respond to the Bambattaa situation KRS One- What, What angle you want to take it from? Nore- I I don't know, its such a generic question, what should we do, you're being our father, what ever you say I have to move accordingly Krs One- First of all, controversy is not truth, What you want is truth right now, you want truth. But truth is also not information, is not gossip. Its not even conversation. For me if you keep it Hip hop, nothing can be taken away from Africa Bambattaa, but you want to make about his personal life accusations and so on, personally, I don't give a fuck, personally. Look if somebody was harmed or whatever, yall deal with that, that don't stop Hip Hop. That don't stop what you done for hip hop. But deal with that, that's personal. I don't know, I don't know what to say, Nore- Because you don't know the facts, KRS One, even if you do know the facts, A person like me, I deal with questionable people all the time, not only if the accusation is rape, I know dudes from prison, I know dudes from the shelter, If you live really in the hood, you know shooters, yall man might have an open warrant right now, I am not judging these dudes, those are my niggas right here, now what you do with your crime, your shit and whatever bullshit, that's one you. I can't pick and choose. This is the interview. When you go to drink champs, it starts at 12:00 so that you can listen for yourself and how he said that he said.
I kind of got the vibe from Rahiem, that somewhere in KRS-1's sphere, something's kind of "fugazy" in or around his circle. Did anyone else draw somewhat of the same inference?
@@pharoah1200 We don't... what does seem prevalent, is that A LOT of cats knew. And NOBODY said anything? The only reason KRS is taking so much heat, is dude got the biggest mouth. And the most well known.
The brother was choosing his words carefully in order that he may be properly understood in discussing such a very serious topic. That's wise and intelligent. Thinking before you speak is something everyone should practice. I salute him. As a people our attention span is far too short on the subjects that really matter as it relates to our pitiful condition.
Riddle me this,how do you or we treat ex gang members or drug dealers that killed and robbed sometimes innocent ppl in the black community but later turn there life’s around....? I’m just asking becuz we seem to pick and choose a lot when it’s our own,not judging or picking sides I’m just curious and FYI I-was one of those ppl I’m asking the question about....🤔
Please read the gospel of John that is in the Holy Bible! True redemption comes from the Lord Jesus through his blood and he will gives you the power off the Holy Spirit and truly set you free.
This man did not MOLEST KIDS to "make it by" in the HOOD! 🤬 Are you dumb? He didn't make money off this, he used his money and power to take advantage of kids in his previous situation! 😒
The Brotha clearly has a lot to say, however, had a hard time getting it out. Tbh, Brotha Raheim was hard to listen to. Sounded like his efforts to be P. C. stifled his ability to communicate his perception.
i see what youre saying but, nah Fam...the brother is actually pretty articulate...he occasionally just has thoughtful pauses to find the right words he wants to use, to carefully communicate his position
@@RJNumber45 Let me be clear. I'm not saying he's not articulate, however, for me this interview was hard to listen to because of those "thoughtful pauses" and intense hesitation. I just suggested that maybe his desire to relay the information in a certain way got in the way of a seamless, flow worthy interview.
It sounded to me he didn't want to flat out say what he really knows and cause more blow up. But! From what "I" took from it would lead me to suspect that KRS 1 is "down" with what happened. That's just my observation and I could be reading too much into it, but thats my take away based on "this is how we go around the mulberry bush" careful drawn out answer to the question asked.
I agree, he seemed to be trying really hard to choose his word very carefully. He even said he didn't want to be called a hater, but i think it's too late, just say what you got to say.
These haters running around mad about KRS-ONE comment on what Bambatta did. Y'all want to hate on him and not give him the G.O.A.T title because he's arrogant but him not commenting on something the way someone like and the last I check was not proven. Meaning Bam never been arrested. Sooo question go ask your Top 10 favorite artist to speak on it and see what they say. Raheim what did you do to help the alledge victims? 🤔 And you said you witness things. I bet you did and probably know something and never did NOTHING! Leave the Teacher alone.
That's what Krs 1 said....He knew about what happened.. But it Wasnt his Place to Say or Do Anything at That Time....If we Look at H.I.P. H.O.P. That things have Occurred that Was Over Looked( He wasnt condoning His Behavior) ....Bambatta will have to Answer for his behavior to Our Maker.....

I generally agree with KRS One. I don’t agree with what Bambaattaa did, but as long as he didn’t mess with any prepubescent kids, and as long as he didn’t force himself on anyone, I really don’t care. People have a tendency to overstate victimhood nowadays.

KRS One responded like a man that has a 30 year college lecture career that falsely focuses on Bam being the father of Hip Hop. Plus he had 1-2 early songs that praise Bam the same way. He has an investment in separating Bam the sex offender from Bam the Hip Hop icon. People around the country have been taught a Hip Hop history, by KRS One, that glorified Bam. That’s why he reacted the way he did.
