EVERY KRS/BDP ALBUM FROM 87-97 IS DOPE IMO
Yeah, thats the thing about being on a major label, they make sure that your album is solid before it gets released to the public. They make sure you have 2 or 3 radio singles and if they don't think its gonna appeal to the masses (or at least appeal to your core audience) they'll make you go back in the studio until you come up with a hit.
With independent labels, they accept whatever you give them and press it. As result, there's no hits. KRS hasn't had a hit since he was on Jive records in 1997. You might say he's "keeping it real" but I think its realer to have 2 radio singles on your album than to have an album full of backpacker theme music.
I think Nas keeps a good balance of pure, raw Hip Hop with meaningful lyrics while making hits for the masses. I wish KRS could keep that balance. -
KRS-One Is "One" Of The G.O.A.T.'s.
My Favorite KRS-One Song Is "Step Into A World".
MINE TOO.THE FIRST TIME I HEARD STEP INTO A WORLD WAS LIKE THIS!

My introduction to krs one was when I purchased the retrospective CD in NYC. Never looked back, legend. He is amazing live as well.

There is not a single Hip-Hop fan that dislikes KRS-One. Maybe a fan of pop, commercial rap and everything else on the billboard, but Hip-Hop fan? Nah, KRS-One embodies Hip-Hop at its core. He is THE MC.
And lol at disliking an elite MC, because they're calling out what they see as ? and don't believe they're getting their just due.
... 'Til this day, KRS is the only ? that has that special ability to make rappers forget that they rap. ? turn from "the best rapper in the area" to "nah I just be ? around", almost instantly lol.
Yeah you missed the point. It wasn't what he was doing it was how he was doing it and it was stupid as ? . Just because a rapper doesn't do music you like don't mean they not hip hop. That has nothing to do with billboard charts KRS was acting a damn fool complaining all the time about ? . Nobody ever said his ability to rap suffered it was the ? outside of rap that annoyed people. And stop acting like he some flawless mc with super powers...he's just a rapper bruh -

Your tone comes off as insecure, kind of like the average white person when they get all flustered when black athletes celebrate or exude confidence.
If KRS or any other elite rapper wants to call out what they see as wack ? , then it is what it is. If one of the other rappers had a problem with it, they should have said something. I see nothing wrong with stating your opinion when qualified on the subject, the holding your tongue, PC ? is what irks me some.
And as far as MCing goes, KRS is as good as it gets. -
Did Nas ever get round to making that unauthorized biography of Krs-One? he said he was gonna make it at the end of the Rakim one.
