This track is fire 🔥!! Thanks Ron for the request. KRS-One is the GOAT!! I always learn something new from his lyrical prose. He is a hard worker and great example to the rap community. Glad to see he is still putting out 🔥 tracks. Saw that he has been really active in the last couple of years. -That’s great to know. Patty 😎🙌🔥🎶🎧🎶🎵
There’s more going on in this song. The verse where he’s talking about Kings vs. Teachers is a diss towards Run DMC who referred to themselves as the Kings of Rock. He also says “Others say they’re bad but they’re buggin’” was directed towards LL Cool J who had the song “I’m Bad”.
Funny fact... the "weird" sound in the begining of the video "yeahhhhhh" is actually the catch phrase of a local NYC DJ, DJ Red Alert who is singled out in this video and song many times. The "Yeahhhhhh" is only in the video and not on the original track.
Criminal Minded could be called the first "gangsta rap" album. It was the first, or one of the first, to use reggae influenced beats, too. This track is from "By All Means Necessary", with heavy reference to Malcom X "By Any Means Necessary"...even down to the cover art....
Treat yourself to his latest called The Beginning just came out a few months ago I believe! Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ! You will love it ! You also will most likely stop it many times over because of the brilliance of this man! Also he has great lectures on YouTub he's done at different universities! Cool channel .....keep doing your thing! ✌

This might be the greatest rap song ever....great reaction Sir...
I love ur reactions ...and u were dead on wit ur observations
I knew you would like this one. LOL KRS- is known as the lyrical teacher in Hip Hop.
This is one of my favorite hip hop songs. 🔥
When KRS speaks you have to just admire his intelligence and knowledge
I agree with you on your thoughts and reaction
KRS ONE is one of the best rap artist of all time at age 56 keep coming with more songs
in my top ten songs since 88
It gets no better than this baby! 🔥

KRS-One and boogie down productions were essential to conscious hip hop music and culture not gangster rap
Yeah, at this point hip hop was now more into samplers so that very mechanical drum machine era was over.
