Greatest Quote OAT Respek

[@azuleslight]

here's the thing, Don t get me wrong i was b-boyin as a youngster and tryin my hands as the wheels but...like you said teachers dont get paid nothing and they push the future..that shit is sad...onto what KRS is sayin about hip-hop, he 100% right quality DJ's(1/4 elements) get paid ...hell even garbage DJ's make money. But if you reflect on the other three prongs...B-boys are making money in video, red bull comps and in dance troups, graph artist...well its obvious in art and beat boxers become dope producers. The hip-hop culture is based on race, gender or any of that its based in skill, love, ability, and progression. #chitownbboysrep even the old ones lol

[@eastandwest8960]

Love ya KRS, but don't get it twisted. Not all teachers are broke.

[@williamallen2565]

Does Hip Hop have a retirement plan?

[@alan-jg5bd]

KRS is trying a Hip Hop Union for retirement and helping young artists signing record deals. KRS is Hip Hop

[@denzes100]

Şiirbaz desem?

[@Firm-Tofu-King]

Because someone needs to drop knowledge instead of poppin bottles and women

[@johnhughes9554]

He doesn’t practice what he preaches (hypocritical)

[@MidnightinSavannah]

Hip hop might have played an importance back in the 80's and 90's but it is pure garbage today. Using auto tune is not a human talent neither is saying 'Yea" "uh huh" to finish a line in a song.

[@Superlongevityinstitute]

Well HipHop and rap is not the same thing. Another thing is if your to dense to find real HipHop who's fault is that smh

[@Superlongevityinstitute]

again HipHop is not music I'ts a culture and it's beyond entertainment ! smh

[@g1churchboy]

Stop looking for hip-hop on the radio

[@nuknuknuk111]

midnight savannah dont confuse mumble rap with hip hop

[@sqcp7379]

Hip hop has always been a culture but you have the music industry that change rap into nonsense in the 2000s now me TBluesy is into 90s Boom Bap and I’m 15 years old going to be 16 this Month and my dream is too Become a Underground Rapper or Producer what best fits me.

[@johnhughes9554]

Not a genius

[@makellasafe]

Hip hop not this shit nowadays that's consumer based hip hop
