The Ass Hurt Anthem??? - KRS One's ”I Was There”

[mannybolone]

This song is one of those "wait, is this a parody? Oh. No, it's not" joints. I mean, I know it's KRS but he's found a whole new level.

 

[shitzr]

beyond unnecessary

 

[PABLO]

Yeah, that new Marley Marl & KRS album....

But according to the 1-sheet:
Marley Marl and KRS-One have put aside all differences for "Hip-Hop Lives", a masterpiece of production and lyricism from beginning to end.

"put aside all differences", please tell me they didn't just get over the whole bridge/bronx thing?

Plaese to post that GIF of the crazy of KRS-One.

why did you even bother to even check for this?

Krs hasn't made a dope joint in a looooooooooooong time (10 years?).

At least. Dude is such a mixed bag, everytime I hear something appaling (i.e. that Stanford "the enemy is at the table" incident) then I hear something real good, people seeing him live and being real impressed. Not feelin the egotistical BS here though.

 

[djkingotto]

right now i'm wishing he'd stayed "there."

 

[batmon]

Is this going to morph into the KRS is "crazy" thread?

That's so last century.

[then I hear something real good, people seeing him live and being real impressed.

That's his only saving grace: his live show. He really does have enough material that is familiar to the crowd where he can just rip through like a mix-tape. It's pretty impressive actually.

YP,

A friend wrote to say, "hey, KRS is dissing Jeff [Chang]" on a new song and my response was, "huh?" I went and listened and he's probably dissing Jeff, Adisa and a host of other folks who basically showed him his ass at Stanford last year.

Naw - his craziness isn't at issue. That's pretty much understood. It's just amazing to hear once-great-artists recording

HAHAHA! This dudes comment is hilarious

Fuck whoever this bishop dude is. Noone is in position to disrespect or try to challenge KRS aside from Chuck D., Rakim or Run.
And have they ever done so? Then who is this sucker trying to get a rap of the God? KRS is and always will be walking hip-hop.

Where is this little dude's album?

I'm so sick of these little writers and internet personalites with blog voices thinking they are superior to legends.

Know your role.

Raising KRS' blood pressure like that. Fuck wrong with you?

[Grandfather]

the whole song sounds like it could be the hook
i did like the marley marl (is that marly marl?) beat

 

[coldcuts]

Awful. God awful

 

[street_muzik]

the song was awful, but you gotta give it to him. He was there.

desperately grasping at his long-departed relevance.

 

[peacefulrotation]

I still like KRS-one, and have to say I feel much of his sentiment about 'hip-hop journalism'.

Call me

I just wish he would get a schitt hot beat and make a good record again.

 

[Jonny_Paycheck]

He should redo this song as "I Was Crazy".

Don't change shit, except "there" = "crazy"

 

[peacefulrotation]

a lot of y'all sound more ass hurt than dude.
