    Can anybody post these amazing KRS joints?

    Idk where to start. I can tell you when I first heard Rakim, Chuck D, Kane, G Rap etc.
    KRS was just never that nice to me but this was a small sample size.

    Dude music just might not be for me but Ill give it a listen.

    Thank you!! I wrote in the OP that people praise KRS and Ice but can NOT name one song or album that can actually back up why they're nice.

    Trolling aside, my mission was accomplished. 7 pages in and no one has yet to post a dope song to prove me wrong. I can do that with my favorite artists but they can't

    1. 9mm Goes Bang
    2. My Philosophy
    3. I'm Still #1
    4. Jimmy
    5. Self Destruction - Stop The Violence Movement
    6. Moshitup - Just Ice feat KRS One
    7. Essays on BDPISM
    8. Who Protects Us From You
    9. Love's Gonna Get'Cha
    10. The Jam - Shabba Ranks feat KRS One
    11. Black Cop
    12. Outta Here
    13. Step Into A World
    14. A Friend


    You guys would do yourself a favor and burn those songs on to a CD-R and listen to it for the next month.

    I guess a better question is; Why wouldn't you give a legend a pass?

    U know i despise rappity rap or let's say traditional rappers that just rap and are very lyrical, complex that just rap

    A long time ago u made a post saying i love pop sounding hip hop i would call it melodic/experimental/artistic hip hop but u were spot on

    As adults instead of bickering let's just leave at it we have different tastes

    U listen to hip-hop for the word play, punchlines, double entendres, metaphors, rhyme schemes, multi's, similie's, complexity, The technicality and the skill of rapping u just want a rapper to rap

    I listen to hip-hop for the song writing, melodies, emotion, catchiness, depth, relatability, crooning

    It is nothing more than a matter of taste

    Guntown u bck I see

    Nas never digged the guy's music. I mention him because alot of his stans act like if u like hip hop u have to like Nas and if u don't it's a sin. Which is pathetic because besides bringing lyrics to the forefront and being a very skilled emcee Nas offers nothing at all
